Personal Philosophy

Inclusive, laid-back, no-BS. Every body, every story, every identity is welcome and photographed with respect and a splash of sass.

As a boudoir photographer, I’ve created a space where women feel seen, celebrated, and safe. Every shoot is a collaboration, a celebration of who you are, not who society says you should be.

How I Landed Here

I started out as photographer in a high-volume “glamour” studio where clients were hustled through the same preset poses, then pushed straight to a sales table. When the word glamour lost its shine (2018-2022), those places simply rebranded as “boudoir studios,” but the conveyor-belt experience stayed exactly the same. Seeing that business model first-hand made me determined to build something better: Belle-Vous Boudoir Photography, launched in 2014 so every session could feel relaxed, personalised and genuinely confidence-boosting.

Belle-Vous Boudoir Photography launched in 2014 so every client could enjoy a relaxed, personalised boudoir experience that puts confidence first and sales tactics last.

Even if you choose to shoot elsewhere, do yourself a favour and book with one of the many smaller independent boudoir photographers we have in Brisbane. We pour heart, time, and genuine care into every session. With us, you are never just a line on a spreadsheet; you are a real person whose story deserves to be celebrated.

Male Boudoir Photographer? Yep, and Here’s Why That Works

I get it: some women worry about the “male gaze.” My approach is the exact opposite, collaborative, professional, and focused on how you want to be seen. Most clients tell me they forgot I was even holding a camera five minutes in.
