At the end of 2017 I held my first international Boudoir Photography Retreat in Queenstown, New Zealand.  Over the few days we spent at this amazing location, I had the privilege of sharing my love for boudoir photography with 8 other photographers, and two models.

A massive thank you to those attendees who sent me personal messages thanking me for the experience and what they gained from the retreat.   My overall goal when setting up this retreat was to get a bunch of women together who wanted to learn more about boudoir photography, expand their portfolio, shoot something new, get creative in an amazing location, have a chance to step in front of the camera and experience what their client’s go through, and generally just relax and unwind for a few days with a great bunch of people. I believe we achieved what we set out to, and it was wonderful to see these beautiful women letting go, embracing their bodies and walking around so incredibly confident! Even more fantastic that some of them are now introducing boudoir as an offering in their photography businesses. This is what it was all about!  Boudoir photography is such an empowering and rewarding genre to shoot.  

Here are some of the images I captured of all the models and fellow photographers (yes... all REAL WOMEN) during my time at the retreat.

Each and every women that comes to me for their boudoir shoot, has a different style, taste and idea about how they would like to be captured.  This is why I work with you and plan each shoot based on the types of images you like, and ensure that these memories are something you will treasure for years to come.

"I’m definitely more on the conservative side, so I love that you show such a range in your images.  You tailor each and every shoot to exactly what each woman wants and how they want to document and showcase their body!"

"It was fantastic, I'm so glad I did it. It is totally worth it; it was amazing how great I felt and looked in the photos.  You have an wonderful nature and personality, and I felt very comfortable around you."

To anyone considering a boudoir shoot... I would love to be able to give you this empowering experience too! Read all about boudoir photography, why I love it, what it can do for you, and contact me now to book your own empowering shoot!

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting this gorgeous woman again.  Whenever I have some new ideas that I want to try, or feel like getting creative, she's one of my go to muses.  We usually end up working together on at least one project per year.... and this time was to test out the new Fujifilm X-T2 that I recently purchased.  

Coming from Canon, I had to give myself a quick crash course in how to use this new mirrorless camera system and all the manual settings on the Fujifilm X-T2. After my first shoot, I must say that I've been blown away with the results and ease of use of the Fujifilm X-T2.  I can't wait to explore this camera's full capabilities!

I'm currently fully booked through until September 2017, and booking pre-Christmas boudoir shoots now. I'm also booking well into 2018 already... so it's never too early to secure your preferred session date.  Read more about the boudoir photography experiences we offer for everyday women, or contact me now to book your own boudoir shoot!
