ALWAYS THE DREAMER

“Never let it be said that to dream is a waste of one’s time, for dreams are our realities in waiting. In dreams, we plant the seeds of our future.”

I empower women through the art of boudoir photography.
Boudoir to me, is way more than pretty pictures. It is a celebration of women who’ve found the courage to revel in their innate beauty, value and sensuality.

Hello, loves!

I’m Lize. A Writer, Creative Director, Content Creator and Photographer. My journey to becoming a creative powerhouse started in 2014 when I graduated from university.

Since then, I’ve worked intentionally at making my hobbies become part of my career, enabling me to live a fulfilled life. However, when I’m not working(or having fun like most people think is all creative people do), I love to travel, take myself on dates to the cinema, attend inspiring events and eat out with friends.

I’ve created this wonderful space for myself and you to explore and learn something new from my imaginative mind. I’d love for you to peruse and get to know more about my work. And if you’d like to learn about what I really get up to behind the scenes, sign up to my monthly newsletter.

Welcome to my eclectic world!

Client Reviews

  • Working with Lize was great! The whole process from organising the photo shoot to receiving the actual images, she was very friendly and professional. It was my first boudoir photo shoot experience and I was nervous, but she made me feel comfortable and it is very important to have some sort of connection with the photographer. I am very pleased with my pictures

    Bianca
  • I found Lize’s page on Instagram and followed her because I liked the work she did. Getting an opportunity to have a session with her was great. I loved the professionalism shown and was very impressed by the quality of both her services and work. I am based out of London and Lize helped me to pick a beautiful location for my shoot which I was very impressed with. Thank you so much for your services.

     

    Geraldine
  • I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lize! On a brief trip to London, I was hoping to arrange a boudoir shoot that I had been wanting to have for some time. Upon discovering Lize, I instantly knew that I had found my Photographer. She accommodated my schedule, connected me with a makeup artist, arrived on time, and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the shoot. As this was my first boudoir experience, she provided me with a ton of ideas that we could play with to make sure I got the results that I was looking for. Following the shoot, I promptly received proofs and ultimately the final retouched photos that are absolutely stunning. I remain impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail, and I highly recommend Lize to anyone who is looking for quality photographs that they will cherish for a lifetime.

  • Lize made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. She gave me all the freedom I needed and also helped when I wanted her to direct me. She’s got a great eye for flattering poses and really captures the beauty of the moment. The photoshoot was fun and watching her do what comes naturally just had me in awe. The photos were absolutely phenomenal and I will definitely be working with her again!

    Muna
  • It was a joy to work with Lize. She showed up on time and took a real interest in what we wanted to get out of the shoot. She asked questions, listened really well and gave some great support/advice that helped us create some incredible photos. In the end, not only did we get some amazing shots but the entire shoot ended up being really enjoyable. I had so much fun and learnt a lot shooting with Lize and I can’t recommend her enough.

    Thanks again!

  • I was really pleased with the outcome of my headshot. The initial shooting day was a fun and enjoyable experience, we took a variety of shots in different locations with a variety of outdoor backdrops and the editing process was quick. Overall, the service was great and worth recommending.

    Skye
  • Booking with Lize was well worth it! As an aspiring model, I wanted to book a photographer who could capture my vision of beautiful and edgy photos, and she delivered! I appreciate her professionalism, timeliness and good character. Definitely recommend her services to anyone wanting to capture their special moments while in London!

    Chanel
  • I really enjoyed my photo shoot and my time with Lize. I’ve taken professional photos before and I have to say my time with Lize was my favorite photo shoot. She helped me before the shoot decide on a location in London. Lize came up with a lot of fun and creative shots and was also welcoming of my ideas and input and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I would recommend Lize’s skills and this photo shoot experience to anyone.

    Sue
  • Lize was amazing. I felt really comfortable in front of the camera and we were able to get some amazing creative shots. 10/10 would recommend.

    Gloria
  • A surprise engagement in London and Lize was available the next day! She has a wonderful taste for photography and the focus remains on the subjects while capturing the beauty of the city. A wonderful balance. We adore our pictures from this momentous event. Lize was sweet and creative. We would recommend her wholeheartedly.

    Arielle
  • Lize put together a team for the shoot quickly and efficiently and on set was always looking for ways to innovate, directing and experimenting compositions with confidence.  Lize demonstrated a positive can-do attitude throughout the day and in spite of bad weather, we managed to complete three looks in record time. A great team player and an asset to any project.

    Jesuton
  • Lize is a great photographer. I did an outdoor shoot with her in a very public area, but she made the experience fun and comfortable. She is quick and professional and I got my proofs and edits in no time! I highly recommend her and would love to work with her again!

As I've gotten busy with growing @okohs.boudoir, m As I've gotten busy with growing @okohs.boudoir, making pancakes on the Saturdays I don't have photoshoots have become a selfcare ritual. 

I'm a big foodie so meals are important, even breakfasts too. But with a fast paced life, my first meal tends to be a bowl of cereal (boring!). So, when I have the time to make something that takes more than the 1 minute it takes to make a bowl of cereal, I go to my trusty pancake recipe to satiate my sweet tooth and long throat 😁

I was making some last Saturday and remembered that the @ukbftog have a pancake day challenge going. So I grudgingly got out my camera and took some photos. Fellow togs with a queue of edit understand taking unnecessary photos is a no no 😅

I played with the focus points and free styled the edit and added some grain - which I haven't done in a long while since creating a preset for my client work. 

Anyway, I hope you have a scrumptious meal today! Happy #pancakeday2023 ❤
Do you like them sweet or savory?
I'm excited to finally be sharing my next project I'm excited to finally be sharing my next project with you! And I'll need your help with sharing this far and wide to reach women in essential industries! 

On The Front Lines is a multimedia project documenting the experiences of women across the UK who held essential roles during the national lockdown in 2020. It will be the first of a three-part documentary project looking at life in the UK during this time period. 

Using filmed interviews and photography, this project will explore the stories of the women who kept the country going while the rest of us stayed at home to reduce the spread of Covid. It will also serve as a means of celebrating their efforts during a time of great strife. 

All the details can be found on my website. Click the link in my bio✨

Having a planner is the best thing I decided to bu Having a planner is the best thing I decided to buy years ago. It allows me to set my yearly goals and then quarterly and monthly KPIs in order to achieve them. 

Sometimes procrastination happens when you don't know what to do. And overwhelm can happen when you don't divy up the tasks that will help you achieve your big goals. 

I love the planners from @theinspiredstories.co. They have several types to fit most people's preference.

What an incredible year it's been ✨ Travelling What an incredible year it's been ✨

Travelling to Zanzibar, writing my second novel, exhibiting my work, being invited to the BBC, exhibiting my business at the National wedding show, moving into my own apartment, and so much more. 

2022 started shaky but is ending with a lot to be grateful for! I can't wait to double it up in 2023💥

#blessedbe #gratefulheart
"I've found January to be harder on my mental heal "I've found January to be harder on my mental health than I expected" was the first sentence in my diary this year. 

"I've not felt sad in a long while. And when I even go looking to cry, it evades me. Life is great and it feels surreal now - that's how incredible it is." was my last entry on Dec 5. 

It's crazy how things can change in a year. I don't even know who that woman in January was. 

I also love how I've been manifesting more the past few years and how easily it flows into my journal. 

"My life is full and from that overflow, I'm able to help others. A life of abundance is being created for me. And I'm open to receiving it fully." 

The moral of the story is to keep going. You'll break into sunlight eventually ✨

This @kaicollective dress was made for me though, Kai! 😉
