Love note…
"Every single lady that you shoot is gorgeous.
However the best thing to come from your shoot, Klara is that you show us ladies what everyone else sees.
That beauty we don’t see when we look in the mirror each day.
I have found that I have stoppped being so critical of myself since having my session with you as you helped me see that.
I hope that every lady who has or will have a shoot with you, feels the same.
I’m definitely going to do another one next year. So thank you, Klara, keep being amazing and same goes for all of your gorgeous ladies too."
- Ms. T.
What our boudoir clients say…
“the best things I have ever done for myself”
“Wow! Just Wow!
Having a photo shoot with Klara is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Going through a divorce and realising I wasn't even sure I knew who I was anymore was behind it and when a friend suggested I do it, fate saw to it Klara popped up on Facebook and there I was, booking a session.
Both Klara and Amineh made me feel to happy and comfortable from word go. It felt amazing having my hair and make-up done (I never wear make-up normally!) and being pampered with chocolate! The shoot itself was so much fun and I had an absolute ball.
I didn't even need to see the final images to know that just doing the shoot was enough to give me a massive confidence boost and increase my feeling of self worth and body positivity. For that I will always be grateful.
I didn't really know how it would feel when I went to the shoot; how I would get on; as I'm normally the one hiding from the camera but to be honest, it didn't feel like I was having my photo taken. Klara shows you what she wants you to do, you follow suit and then you're on to the next pose or outfit, the photo being taken 'just happens'!
I cannot recommend Klara highly enough. If all women saw Klara then I think the world would be a better place because we would simply have a better idea of our self-worth. For me, this experience was life changing and I absolutely loved it - and the images were beyond stunning when I got them!”
“giving me a huge confidence boost”
“Where do I start! A boudoir shoot wasn’t something I thought I needed in my life but Klara’s amazing portfolio inspired me to give it ago.
From the very beginning Klara’s expertise guided me to ensure I got the most out of the experience. Klara sent me regular communication about how to prepare for the shoot, covering everything from head to toe but importantly at no point did I feel pressured to look a certain way or lose weight. It was always about embracing what you have and being comfortable.
On the shoot day Klara and her MUA welcomed me and instantly put me at ease, it was so nice to be pampered and have my hair and makeup done, I was asked throughout the process what I liked and if I wanted more or less. I was very happy with the end result.
Time for the shoot and just Klara and I, she walked me through every pose, guiding me to show off my best angle and assets. I had so much fun switching outfits and positions, Klara made me feel at ease and my confidence was building all the time. I left buzzing from the whole experience.
A few weeks later and it was reveal day. Oh my!! The photos exceeded my expectations, they are fantastic and I’m super happy with them. I can’t wait to show my husband to be on our wedding day.
Klara , thank you, for making me feel beautiful and giving me a huge confidence boost. You are super talented at what you do. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone thinking about doing a boudoir photo shoot to go for it, you won’t be disappointed!!”
“I feel more confident of how I look”
“I changed my life completely 6 years ago almost to the day of the shoot. I had previously been told that I wasn’t good enough, wasn’t slim enough or capable of achieving the things I wanted to achieve and so I have spent the last six years changing my life and doing exactly what I set out to do. I booked this session in April as a celebration of who I am now.
Unfortunately, I had gained over two stones after having covid the year before and despite all efforts by the time of the shoot I had only lost half stone. I had a bit of a wobble and questioned going through with the shoot. Fortunately, the people I am surrounded with now are supportive and I was encouraged to still do it. I am so glad I did!
I think I thought that the best part of the shoot would be getting my hair and makeup done but actually it was the one-on-one time with Klara. I put myself completely in her hands and tried to do exactly what she was telling me and although it was quite a focussed session, it was also so much fun. Towards the end of the session I suddenly realised that I was wearing nothing but a sparkly belt and holding a sheet in front of me and I was not at all embarrassed or self-conscious, that is testament to the environment that Klara and the team create.
After the session my insecurities returned and I was a bit concerned that I would not look good in any of the photographs but some of them were truly stunning - and I do not think that I am stunning at all. Instead of trying to find enough to fill a box or book I had to find photographs to eliminate. Although I still want to lose the weight I gained I feel more confident of how I look now and less judgemental of myself. I have shared this truly life changing experience with a couple of my closest friends and I honestly do not think it will be long until I see their photographs on Klaras’ group!”
“my confidence was through the roof!”
“I am SO glad I decided to go ahead and book my shoot with Klara!
The entire experience from booking to seeing the final images has been incredible.
Klara put my mind at ease when I booked my shoot and sent me every piece of information I could possibly need and want to know beforehand. The whole session on the day was such a relaxed atmosphere and completely tailored to me and made me feel special - which when you are used to being called mummy & running around after 2 little ones all day is such a nice change! I've never been very comfortable infront of a camera but I didn't have any worries on the day of my session as I knew I was in good hands with Klara and by the time that I left my confidence was through the roof!
When I got to go back and see my images I was so excited and loved seeing the outcome of the shoot infront of me in such a personal way. Theres no pressure to love the images (even though I promise you will!) and theres no pressure to buy products either (again, even though you probably will!)
If you are on the fence, go and do it! It was an incredible experience that I won't forget anytime soon.”
“to see these images of me, staring back at me and loving them !!!”
“Id always dreamt of doing a boudoir shoot, but I always found myself saying “one day”.
I started looking at boudoir photographs about 2 years ago and I found Klara on instagram and followed her journey. I knew as soon as I found her, that was the lady that I wanted to take my images.
I turned 50 and the ole menopause hit and I decided I was going to grab life and do what I wanted and not put anything off again !! I’d started losing weight and religiously going to the gym ( and no, I’m not where I want to be but I wanted to celebrate how far I’d come )
Klara is very easy to talk to and very informative and from the first consultation on the phone I knew I’d made the right choice.
The day came and klara talks you through EVERYTHING.. so don’t worry about how to pose .. she knows her profession well !!
Amineh did my makeup and hair and I was really pleased with it.
The shoot was fun … but I wish I’d listened to the “stretch every day “ .. klara showed me the pics on the camera as we went .. which was very reassuring if not shocking “is that really me ?”
The day came to view my images .. let me tell you the nerves were real ! I can’t tell you how lovely it was ( for someone who HATES her picture took normally ) to see these images of me, staring back at me and loving them !!! Infact the hardest part of this was choosing which ones to have made up into an album.
I presented the album to my husband for his birthday, he had no idea I’d had the shoot and his face was a picture !! I don’t think I’ve ever known him as lost for words as he was receiving the album .. he absolutely loves it.
So … If your thinking about booking .. do it !! It really doesn’t matter your age or size, it’s time we celebrate ourselves ladies.
Thank you Klara”
“I was on a high for days afterwards!”
“I had my photoshoot with Klara back in May, but have been holding off posting a review as my album was a surprise gift for my husband on our wedding day. The entire experience was amazing and I would recommend Klara to anyone! She made me feel totally relaxed the entire time, and Amineh who did my hair and make up did an amazing job, I was blown away when I looked in the mirror! Klara went through all of the poses with me and made everything so easy, after the first few photos all of my nerves disappeared and I felt totally comfortable in front of Klara. This lovely lady is so professional and after seeing my images -wow! I’ve never felt more beautiful and empowered than when I saw all the photos Klara captured, it sounds cliche but it is hard to believe it is you in the pictures! I was on a high for days afterwards! When my album arrived I was so impressed, the quality is AMAZING! Thank you so much for everything, the pictures, the album, everything was perfect! And lastly, my husband was very impressed with his gift😉 1000% recommend doing this with Klara!❤️”
“I never knew I could look so stunning in my own eyes”
What a fantastic time I've had today with Klara choosing my photos from my photo shoot. I was wowed by myself as I never knew I could look so stunning in my own eyes. I've seen a new me in myself! Me a woman who has gone through tough times in my life and I'm still standing strong.
While going through the photos it gave me inner strength to tell Klara of times which I have endured through my years.
We as women are stronger than we believe we are! all we need to do is believe in ourselves and not worry about other people's comments.
I would recommend any woman regardless of age or size to have a photo shoot with Klara. She made me feel relaxed and confident in myself, and willing to be daring at times? This was my time for myself and I enjoyed every minute, and definitely enjoyed seeing the new me on my photos. Thank you Klara xx

Your Boudoir Photographer
I'm Klara Balogh-Bona, an award-winning photographer
and relentless self-love enthusiast.
I'm on a mission to spread self-love for women, to start us women look at ourselves differently, with more emphaty and more love, because I'm a big believer that once we accept ourselves the way we are the whole world will shift.
Once we love ourselves we will:
💗 not accept anything less than what we deserve and what brings us joy
💗 we will have people around us who cheer us on and who are there for us really and not to heel wounds or our ego
💗 we will shift our perspective and believe in ourselves and really
💗 our whole life and our relationships will transform.
So yes, I photograph women and I'm darn good at it, but really, I empower you to step out of your comfort zone and reach out to the badass, courageous woman inside and tell her you love her.
I’m ready to have fun!
