WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR
“boudoir photography shoot”
We start off with a conversation about what you want to achieve – your style, your personality and the looks you are wanting to capture. Be it glamorous, vintage to more relaxed and casual.
Once your session is booked I email through a style and prep guide to help you select lingerie and outfits to bring. It also walks you through how to prepare for your session.
When you arrive at the studio together we go through the outfits you have selected including lingerie pieces and accessories that portray you and your style and will make you feel comfortable and confident.
Then it’s time to sit and relax while you enjoy your makeup and hair styling.
We then photograph 4-5 different looks in the studio and in the set up bedroom – from glamorous to more relaxed and casual, allowing you to have an array of images to choose from.
Everyone is nervous , it’s normal. We play your favourite music and I guide you through the shoot, demonstrating how best to pose yourself to achieve the most flattering photos. I’m here to put you at ease and have you feeling comfortable and confident.
My private studio is in Sydney's Inner West with free parking right outside.

This is a huge compliment because all of the women you see are not models and are just everyday women of all ages. These women were probably just like you- looking at my photos and thinking “I wonder how I would look?”
I make women look and feel amazing. Being a model myself previously, I know how to pose you, how to light you and I know exactly how I can shoot to bring out the very best features and hide the things you may not be so confident about. It is my job to produce the most flattering images of anyone that comes to my studio.

I will guide you every step of the way, from preparing you for your photo shoot with wardrobe ideas, to posing every part of you.

You will arrive at the studio to see it’s set up like a bedroom, complete with some props including corsets, flowing tule, stockings, slips gowns and textured fabrics. It is great if you can bring any jewelries or personal items such as hats, scarves, underwear – anything that personalises your photography session and makes you look and feel great.
-
In your consultation and shoot design session we discuss how you would like to be photographed and what outfits you need to bring. I do have a accessories, hats, corsets, and some vintage pieces in my studio for clients to wear.
Wear whatever you feel beautiful in and these items are likely to already exist in your closet. A crop top and high waist pants, swim wear, a robe, a nightie or lingerie. Don’t worry to much about what to wear. I can use fabrics and bed sheets to create some amazing looks.
-
I would love to use images from our boudoir photography session together to show other women your amazing photos just like the ones you see here! In saying that, I understand if you might be uncomfortable to share them online. I will only share if you grant permission. Just let me know what you feel comfortable with after you see your images. We can show as little or as much as you like.
-
With all the professional photographs you purchase, I give you a digital copy.
-
Be prepared for your shoot and get the best results with attention to detail. Have a manicure and fresh nails with polish. Make sure your hair colour is up to date and you don’t have any regrowth. Try on your outfits – work out what one’s fit you best and are most flattering. A professional spray tan a couple of days before can be a great look and help you feel more confident showing more skin.
-
We will start with pampering you – styling your hair and applying professional makeup. We will discuss your looks and we often start with more subtle makeup and go more glam during the session and outfit changes.
-
Whilst we show some skin, most nudity is implied. We keep your underwear on so you are more comfortable. You can show as little or as much as you like. It’s not your job to know how to move in front of the camera. I will demonstrate and guide you through the most flattering poses for your body type. Your job it to relax and enjoy the photography and makeover experience.
-
The night before exfoliate your skin and follow with a hydrating moisturiser. In the morning follow your usual skin routine. Don’t apply SPF cream. Hair should be clean and dry. Double shampoo your hair like your hairdersser, rinse well and condition mid length to ends. Do not wax closer that 4 days before as make up doesn’t adhere to freshly waxed skin. If you like to look tanned get a spray tan 2 days prior to the shoot.
-
Yes , you can choose the style of professional makeup you would like for your shoot. You can start of fresh and natural and then take it through to glamorous.
