Brisbane Boudoir Photographer
A Confidence-Building Boudoir Photography Experience for Women
If you’re looking for a Brisbane boudoir photographer who prioritises confidence, comfort, and genuine empowerment… you’re in the right place. Boudoir photography isn’t about looking a certain way or being “brave enough.” It’s about allowing yourself to be seen, supported, and celebrated exactly as you are. This is a guided, professional boudoir photography experience designed for real women, no modelling experience required.
Boudoir Photography in Brisbane That’s About Confidence, Not Perfection
Most women who book a boudoir photoshoot don’t feel confident when they start.
They feel:
Nervous
Unsure of what to expect
Worried about how they’ll look
And that’s completely normal. A professional boudoir photography experience isn’t about posing perfectly or performing for the camera. It’s about creating images that reflect your strength, softness, and individuality, while guiding you every step of the way. You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to love every part of your body. You don’t need to be anyone other than yourself.
“As I sit here reflecting I find myself looking back over my recent session with such a different attitude to the lady I was walking in. Without sounding negative (and I’m sure many are or have been in my situation), I have always battled with severe anxiety and had so much self doubt for as long as I can remember. I have always been so hard on myself and for years have watched Steph’s work with hope that one day I would build up the confidence to book a shoot. I am not writing this for sympathy nor am I saying a shoot will ‘cure’ you, but one thing I do know is having my shoot with Steph helped me in ways I didn’t know were even possible. I feel like a new person and I am so proud I did it. So ladies for those of you who are considering booking, this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Steph is one in a million ❤️🔥🙌🏼”
What to Expect From Your Brisbane Boudoir Photoshoot
From the moment you book, you’re supported through every stage of the process.
Before Your Session
You’ll receive guidance on:
What to wear (and what photographs best)
How to prepare mentally and practically
How to choose outfits that feel comfortable and empowering
There’s no pressure to wear lingerie if that’s not your style. Boudoir can be soft, elegant, strong, minimal, or sensual.
Arriving at the Studio
When you arrive at my Brisbane studio, the focus is on creating a calm, welcoming environment where you feel safe and at ease.
We will:
Go through your outfits together
Talk about what you’re drawn to
Ease into the session at your pace
Most clients say they feel nervous for the first few minutes, and then something shifts.
During the Photoshoot
You are guided through:
Every pose. Every movement. Every expression.
From where to place your hands to how to breathe into a pose, nothing is left to chance. Professional lighting, angles, and posing are used to create flattering, elegant images. You don’t need to “perform.” You just need to show up.
After Your Boudoir Photography Session
After your shoot, you’ll view your image in a private online gallery. From there, you will choose how you’d like to enjoy them. Whether that’s:
Luxury album
Wall art
Retro Viewfinders
Crystal Blocks
Digital collections
Most clients leave saying the same thing: “I wish I’d done this sooner.”
“Steph was the absolute best to work with. From the moment I emailed her from Melbourne (thinking I was crazy for wanting to fly up to Brisbane for a photo shoot, I live in Melbourne!), she was prompt with her response, super friendly and helpful and not at all pushy, just informative. In the lead up, she gave me plenty of information so I felt at ease and that was exactly how I felt when we met. It was like we already knew one another, she instantly made me feel at ease and Hayley who did my makeup was wonderful also, chatting away to me so I didn’t have time to ponder that I was about to take my clothes off! When it came time to shoot, she was great with helping me pick my outfits but above all else she has a great knack for helping you pose and how to adjust your pose. This has always been a sore point for me - I feel so awkward posing. My partner also felt at ease and he was more nervous than me. Steph has a way of making you feel beautiful and confident in the moment so you can act with ease. We had such a fun afternoon and I can’t wait to go back post pregnancy for a shoot just for me. Receiving the proofs, I was blown away, I couldn’t believe how good I looked and how beautiful I felt. Do yourself a favour if you’re considering a boudoir shoot, don’t go anywhere else and trust that Steph knows how to make you feel like the goddess you are.”

What should I wear?
You don’t need to have it all figured out at the start. I’ll guide you every step of the way. Most clients bring a mix of lingerie (two or three piece sets and bodysuits), oversized button up shirts, or pieces that make them feel confident and comfortable (like a fur coat, leather jacket, fishnets, bodystockings). Before your session, you’ll receive advice on what photographs beautifully and how to choose outfits that suit your body and personal style. I also stock a range of accessories for you to use at your photo shoot as well including body jewellery, bondage gear, singlets for a wet shirt look, and lace robes.

I work with a team of incredible professional hair and makeup artists who are available to give you the full glam treatment and makeover before your photo shoot. This is a relaxed, pampering start to your session and helps you feel camera-ready without feeling overdone. Everything is tailored to enhance you, not change you. Otherwise, you can choose to arrive hair and makeup ready to your photo shoot. I have session fees that cater to either option.

Absolutely. Your session is completely private, held in a safe and comfortable environment, and your images are treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality. Nothing is ever shared without your explicit permission. Your trust and comfort always come first.You will only ever be working one on one with me (Stephanie) during your photo shoot.
