Why Poledoir is the best Melbourne boudoir photographer for you, right now
My Unique Approach & Style
Reasons why my boudoir shoots are different and why working with me will be the best decision you’ll make all year
1. Laughs - we’re just having a fun time
It’s not a serious thing. The photos may look serious sometimes but I guarantee you we are having a fun, goofy time, so you can feel more at ease. Everyone tells me they feel so comfortable with me pretty much straight away.

2. Same day reveal
I know the feeling of waiting WEEKS to see your photos; whether it was wedding photos, a portrait session or maybe a cosplay. You start to doubt yourself and it’s an anxious wait. Not with me! You get to see your pics, with an edit, ON THE SAME DAY. You be riding that high, you’re feeling hot af - let’s keep that feeling going!
3. Same day prints
I have a beautiful quality printer at the studio and every booking, no matter what package, gets an A4 print of their choice to take home. Plus I can do other prints for you while you’re there! The Pink Parrot & Pure Aura package both come with extra prints, or you can buy them separately. Get that framed and put up straight away so you can always remind yourself of your badassery.
4. Portraits you can show to your nana
I like to include more portrait styles into your shoot - so you can have a HOT pic you can show your grandma ;) Or maybe your grandma is hella supportive and wants to see the spicier pics - we’ll you’ll definitely have them too.

5. Meet and Greet
Noone likes an awkward first date, especially on the day where you are about to be really vulnerable. So let’s have that first date a few weeks before! And it won’t be awkward because you will quickly see that I walk into walls and just by being my unfiltered (what’s a filter???) self, make the whole thing fun and relaxed.
6. Not a man
*checks boobs. checks nether-region* yup. Not a man. Look, not all male-boudoir photographers are predatory. But a lot are. So if you want to shoot with a man, DO YOUR RESEARCH on reviews, model groups on facebook etc. I want you to be safe. I have known too many women taken advantage of or made to feel uncomfortable. This is a shoot for YOU, NOT me. I will never make you do anything you are uncomfortable with and I am always checking in on you and asking consent even to move some hair out of your face.
yup, not a man
7. All of the lingerie and accessories
I have a huge collection of lingerie. From size 6ish - 22ish. A lot of the outfits can be sized up or down too. Plus, we do a try on weeks before, so that there’s time to fill any gaps. Doing a lingerie fit out on the day of your shoot will have you flustered and possibly sweaty (you try on a lot) so we do this weeks before, so you can relax in the lead up.
8. Hair and makeup included
Not every boudoir studio includes this in it’s prices. Sometimes it’s an optional add on. Sometimes it’s not there at all. Tracey, our hair and makeup artist, is an expert in this and we want you to feel PAMPERED during this occasion. Rushing to get your hair and make up done separately on the day of your shoot? Stressful. Let me take care of that for you.
9. Expert posing
Don’t worry, I will tell you where to put your T-Rex hands.
I recently found out that not all boudoir / portrait photographers show you how to pose. I can only imagine for someone who isn’t a professional model would feel in that situation.
I am a pole dancer, so I know what lines in your body look good and I will always be on you to point your feet and toes!
10. Editing Style
My style, while more common (at least on the photographers I follow) in Canada and America, is not that common in Melbourne. If you are after a different, dark, moody and sensual shoot, look no further friends!
11. Coming from out of town?
My studio has a double bed, a shower, a kitchen. You can stay overnight if you are coming from out of town. Take the stress out of finding accomodating near by.
See you soon x
