      <image:title>Home - Hi there!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’ve spent years behind the camera — but Solace really began when I finally turned it toward myself. I’m Bec. A mama. A woman who’s known joy and grief in equal measure. I’ve photographed hundreds of women, but I created Solace for the ones who don’t know where to begin. For the brides holding their breath. The mothers rediscovering their skin. The women walking out of something heavy — or into something new. Solace is not just a studio. If you're here, it’s not by accident. Something in you is ready. And I’m here to hold that with you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kind Words - “Thank you for your encouragement and kindness - you made me feel so very comfortable and my fiancee can tell something is ‘different’ with me but has no idea what! Loved meeting you and the Hair and Makeup Team. Well done on being in the boudoir game, making women feel comfortable and happy with themselves is an absolute talent”</image:title>

      <image:title>Kind Words - “Getting these photos back and I don’t even recognise myself - but I LOVE them. Doing this shoot with Bec was so much more than just posing for the camera. It had been a long time since I had felt confident and comfortable in my own skin, and what felt even better was finally looking at these pictures and truly loving myself and all that I am as a WOMAN! Having my hair and make up done made me feel special and beautiful, and allowed me to relax before the shoot. Boudoir does not always have to mean lace underwear… it is whatever makes you feel sexy, beautiful and most importantly - EMPOWERED! I‘d encourage ANYONE to do one of these shoots. Sometimes we can be pretty cruel to ourselves looking in the mirror… so I did this one for ME! And I am so glad I did, because I look at myself with so much gratitude and happiness now!”</image:title>

      <image:title>Experience - The Experience:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before You Arrive You’ll receive gentle guidance (not a rulebook) to prepare — something intentional to spark that magic inside you, a choice to write yourself a note, or one for the next woman, a slow shift from planning to presence. The experience begins long before the first click of the camera. In the Studio There is no rush. Hair, makeup, and that warm drink in hand. We talk. We breathe. We choose the pieces that feel most like you — silk, lace, nothing at all. I guide you, softly. No stiff poses. Just presence. After the Shutter I hope you’ll feel different — like something unlocked, or at least… home. Soon after, your gallery arrives. And it’s not just images. It’s proof. You were there. You are her. And now, you’ll never forget.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Experience - why Solace Feels Different</image:title>
      <image:caption>Other studios give you photos. We give you a soul memory. This isn’t boudoir for the male gaze. This is a portrait for the part of you that’s been waiting to be seen. Solace isn’t for show. It’s not for performance. It’s not about fitting into someone else’s idea of you. This is for the bride who’s been planning for her day for everyone but also wants to recognise this moment for herself. The mother rediscovering her body after it’s been shared, stretched, and softened. The woman leaving something behind. The woman stepping into something entirely new. And the one who can’t explain why she’s here — only that she needs to be. This is a boudoir session built for how it feels, not just how it looks. You won’t walk out with just photos. You’ll walk out with a memory. A shift. A sense of self you didn’t know you could access. Solace is photography made for the female gaze — and for the woman who’s ready to be the main character in her own life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Solace Blooms - I’m Bec</image:title>
      <image:caption>A Newcastle photographer and girl mum with more than twenty years’ experience capturing women, mothers, and the quiet beauty in ordinary moments. Solace Blooms Studio grew from a simple idea: that girls deserve a space where they can feel calm, seen, and gently celebrated exactly as they are. My approach is warm, patient, and guided by conversation, so every session feels safe and natural, never forced. I can’t wait to show your daughter the beauty that already belongs to her.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Solace Blooms - The Mama Add On</image:title>
      <image:caption>Some of the most beautiful portraits happen not when she’s alone, but when she’s with you. The Mama Add-On is a gentle, connection-led portrait experience addition designed to capture the relationship between you and your daughter with softness and sincerity. Not staged. Can be only 10 minutes if you wish. Not matching outfits (unless you want to) Just the two of you, as you really are.</image:caption>
