About us

Welcome to Helen Nickisson Photography, where the art of photography is more than just a profession—it's a lifelong journey of creativity, passion, and empowerment. With over four decades of experience behind the lens, I've honed my craft across a diverse range of genres, each click of the shutter a testament to my dedication to visual storytelling.

As a female photographer and former journalist, my journey into the world of photography began with a profound appreciation for the power of imagery to capture moments, evoke emotions, and tell compelling stories. My lens has witnessed it all, each frame offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human experiences.

But my journey didn't stop at capturing moments; it evolved into a passion for sharing my knowledge and expertise with others. As a mentor and educator, I've had the privilege of nurturing the next generation of photographers, imparting the technical skills and creative insights needed to excel in this dynamic field. Whether through workshops, courses, or one-on-one mentorship sessions, I take pride in empowering aspiring photographers to unlock their full potential and find their unique voice in the world of photography.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my journey has been the opportunity to specialise in boudoir photography through my secondary business, Boudoir Blenheim. With a deep-rooted belief in the inherent beauty and strength of every woman, I founded Boudoir Blenheim with the mission of empowering women to embrace their bodies, celebrate their sensuality, and reclaim their confidence through the art of boudoir photography.

Boudoir photography, for me, is more than just capturing sultry poses and glamorous lingerie—it's about creating a safe and supportive space where women can explore and express their true selves without fear or judgment. From the moment they step in front of my lens, my goal is to make every client feel seen, heard, and valued, regardless of their age, shape, or size. Through gentle guidance and encouragement, I strive to capture the authentic essence of each woman, celebrating her unique beauty and strength in every frame.

Beyond the aesthetics, boudoir photography has the power to transform lives, instilling a newfound sense of confidence, self-love, and empowerment. Many women come to a session feeling insecure or disconnected from their bodies, but through the transformative process of boudoir photography, they discover a newfound sense of liberation and acceptance. Seeing themselves through the lens of my camera, they are able to recognize and appreciate the beauty and strength that has always been within them, paving the way for profound personal growth and self-discovery.

At Helen Nickisson Photography and Boudoir Blenheim, our commitment goes beyond capturing beautiful images; it's about creating meaningful connections, fostering empowerment, and inspiring positive change. Whether you're an aspiring photographer looking to refine your skills or a woman seeking to embrace your inner goddess, I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery through the lens. Together, let's capture the beauty, celebrate the strength, and empower the spirit—one click at a time.
