The Art of Boudoir Photography

As told by your photographer, Marie-Ann Thornton

The definition of boudoir photography is perhaps outdated when we take into consideration what it really means to be a woman and what it means to step into your feminine power. I see a boudoir shoot as a form of self-care. A way to celebrate every inch, curve, bump and hollow of our femininity.

Through this experience, we create a space that allows you to express yourself, bare all and lean into an energy that is uniquely your own. With gentle posing, I will guide you through your boudoir photography session and capture a gallery of authentic, intimate and artistic images.

The experience

First and foremost, let’s connect. From there, we’ll allow the planning stage to unfold, exploring different themes, lingerie and outfits, posing preferences, comfortability in front of a camera and potential packages. On the day, I’ll welcome you into my Maitland studio and the preparation will begin. I will guide you through the two-hour boudoir shoot experience and there will be plenty of opportunities for outfit changes, sneak peaks and exploration of what makes you feel your most divinely feminine. Your photo reveal session will take place around a week later.

My style of boudoir photography

My boudoir photography style can be best described as natural; leaning into the candid and organic nature of lifestyle photography. And while I offer gentle guidance and support with different poses, backgrounds and style changes, I will be guided by what feels best for you. A boudoir shoot is an intimate experience and I want you to feel embodied and empowered from your initial booking, through to your photo reveal session.
