I specialise in boudoir and portrait Photography. I also offer Personal Branding and Headshots
While I love black and white photography I always give you options! Some photos just scream to be in colour. If you prefer colour make sure to let me know.
99.9% of my clients have been worried that they would be awkward on camera. I will pose and guide you the entire time during your photoshoot, making sure I create portraits with an effortless vibe, that awkward.
The only thing I suggest you bring is your favourite lip colour (or two!) Your photoshoot will start with Professional Hair and Makeup so no need to bring much, but when the makeup artist leaves it’s good to have something to touch up with.
For those having a studio photoshoot I have a capsule studio wardrobe, created of timeless classic pieces to help you supplement your wardrobe. I highly suggest you bring things you know you are going to feel good in, and use what we have to add a little extra to your looks.
Yes, our retouching philosophy is to give you a gentle retouch that keeps you looking like you. We don’t nip and tuck, because we believe all bodies are beautiful as they are.
We believe consent is sexy and will ask you for your full consent before sharing your images online when it comes to our Boudoir and Intimate Portrait sessions.
Two weeks after your photoshoot you will be invited back to our studio to see your images and purchase the ones you love.

Most of my clients invest between $2700-$5000 to get all the images and products they love to enjoy their portraits for years to come. The minimum spend is $1900.
Due to the custom nature of my work I do not offer refunds or discounts.
Additional photos will not be able to be purchased after your reveal and ordering appointment as the photos that you do not purchase will be deleted from my hard drives.
