Boudoir Photography Brisbane ~ Boudoir Photography Retreat

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.

Boudoir Photography Brisbane ~ Real Women

As much as boudoir can be a gift for someone, it is ALWAYS truly a gift for yourself.  The gift of being 100% honest and vulnerable with yourself.  The gift of reconnecting to your body.  The gift of a makeover.  The gift of art you can wake up to every day that reminds you of the incredibly empowered, sophisticated and sexy woman that you are.

I know how intimidating it can be to take that leap to book a session.  The feeling of, “I could never look like those women.”  I get it.  But the truth is, all of the women I shoot are REAL WOMEN just like you! Some are moms, bosses, business women, wives, athletes, students, brides, daughters, some are grandmothers. But all of them have one thing in common….they are real women. Real women who want to remember that they are important, valuable and worthy of loving themselves.

Is it time to reconnect with yourself?  Reach out and get in touch now so I can walk you through the entire boudoir photography experience!
