Boudoir portraits and experiences to discover your divine feminine

See yourself through a different lens with intimate nude photography

Boudoir portraits

Boudoir portraits are an intimate artform designed to enhance and capture your personality, sensuality and femininity. For some, this may be subtle flashes of skin and delicate lingerie and for others, it is baring all and embracing entirely nude photography. Boudoir photos are a uniquely individual experience. So, as your photographer (and hype-woman!), it’s my job to gently pose and style you, while capturing a gallery of photos for you to fall in love with.

Nudes & Sip parties 

Unleash your inner-creative with private Nudes & Sip parties designed to connect with your closest friends, inspire body positivity and celebrate your femininity. Suitable for groups of up to 15 people, these parties can be hosted in the comfort of your own home, or at one of our sumptuous Venue Partner locations across Maitland and the Hunter Valley. 

Private lingerie shopping experiences

Boudoir photos are synonymous with silky shapes, lace finishes and beautiful lingerie. Through our one-on-one private shopping experience, you’ll be able to browse our collections, receive fitting advice and feel gorgeously confident with your purchases. After all, women radiate feminine energy when wearing something that makes you feel truly beautiful.

Words of Affirmation

“I got the photos last night and they are absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for doing the shoot with me and making it such a good experience. I hope we can create something together again in the future!”

— Julia

Hello my love,

I couldn’t be happier you’re here. 

As the founder of Maru Collective and a passionate boudoir photographer, I have one mission: to offer women an unsurpassed boudoir experience that transcends merely a "photoshoot" and becomes a divine act of self-care. Because we all deserve to exist in a body that we appreciate.

Since 2019 Maru Collective has morphed into more than simply boudoir portraits and nude photography, now offering a suite of experiences from private lingerie shopping through to our signature Nudes & Sip events. And with this evolution has come an incredibly uplifting and body positive community who shares in my values to celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and love on our LGBTQI+ friends.

Maru Collective will always be a safe space for anyone who identifies with their inner feminine, including transwomen and non-binary people. And I promise to continue to encourage you to step into yourself (and some beautiful lingerie!) to enjoy a boudoir experience that uplifts, celebrates and artistically captures who you truly are.

A few boudoir FAQs

  • To celebrate who you are as a woman. To make time for yourself intentionally. To practise vulnerability and letting go. To lift yourself up and explore what it would be like to love yourself. To look back at the photos with kinder eyes and an appreciation for everything your body has done for you. To feel present in the moment – no partner, no children asking what’s for lunch, no nagging work deadlines: just you, doing you.

  • A divine act of self-care. A boudoir photoshoot with us isn’t about stripping off for a handful of nude photos – it’s a truly intimate experience. From meeting with Marie-Ann for your preparation session, through to the boudoir photoshoot itself, everything should feel centred around your desires, comfortability and how you want the ‘shoot to unfold.

  • You’d lost another few kilos? You’d lost the baby weight? You miraculously woke up one day and loved what you saw in the mirror? As women we can get lost in the “loss” mindset – always trying to shrink and shape ourselves rather than choosing “more”. More love. More acceptance. More kindness. More beautiful boudoir photos that you book today.
