More about the "Self love" experience
Why the Self Love Project & why us?
Having gone through breast cancer and subsequent surgeries, I did not feel particularly beautiful or sexy. My husband, Dean would always tell me I was beautiful but that had become hard to see for me.
I had a glamour/boudoir session myself after my cancer treatment at 52 and again at 60 years and I know that they both helped me to feel so much better about myself.
Dean suffers from low self esteem, and and can easily identify with others who feel the same. He struggles with his weight and knows just how hard that battle can be.
We both wanted to create something very special for all women to enjoy. We want every woman to feel and look beautiful and be happy in their own skin.
It will be fun, fulfilling and transformational. The REVOLUTION is within you…and we want to bring it out! Join us on this fun and incredible adventure.

There is no expiration date on beauty. Women are like fine wine - they get better with age!

Because Beauty has NO Expiration Date!!
Here's what Melina thought of Cancer. It has beaten her body, but not her spirit.
Who is this experience for?
This experience is for EVERY women. We have photographed stunning images of women of different shapes and sizes, ages, with different tastes and from different backgrounds.
The Brisbane Boudoir experience is an exciting, pampering and indulgent adventure, custom tailored and focused on YOU!
Think about how you want to be captured, what does your legacy look like? Our passion is to take the every-day woman and give her an unforgettable celebrity-style, magazine photoshoot experience.
It's about so much more than just "taking pretty pictures". Our hope is for you to truly reconnect with yourself, see your beauty and spirit the way others already see you.
• Let's celebrate that beauty does not diminish with age.
• Take the first step on the journey of self love and acceptance.
• Celebrate your beauty and appreciate every scar, every line and every grey hair.
• Raise your fingers to life and take some of yourself back. Do something just for you!

Our comfortable and private home based studio is in beautiful Bulimba, 8km from Brisbane CBD. We have free off street parking and flat access for disabled clients.
We do not have any children & no drop-in's so your session with us is completely private and quiet. Our beautiful fur-baby, Sammie the samoyed, will keep you company and make you feel like you are at home while she snores away in the corner of the studio.
We do have some outfits for your complimentary use such as lace robes, men's white business shirts, jumpers, body suits and accessories but we recommend that you bring your own well fitting pieces as well.
We can do a wonderful session with only two sets of lingerie; black and cream which always work. If you have the budget, adding a colour is great. Red is fantastic as well as jade green.
We have a full wardrobe of dresses for Vintage Pinup and a full wardrobe for our steampunk style.
We have put together a great guide preparing for your Boudoir or portrait session. This will be sent to you as part of your booking confirmation.

Slightly even out skin tone.
WE CAN'T
Fix hair regrowth so please make sure your hair is freshly coloured if you colour your hair.

Fix bad suntan marks. Try to avoid sun exposure the fortnight before your shoot.
Change finger or toenail colour. Please have the right colour for your outfits or choose clear for safety. Avoid green, blue & black.
We will tell you how to pose and where to look, right down to how to place your fingers. All you have to do is to show up and have a heap of fun!
Although we would love to share your images with other women just like you, we NEVER, EVER use images without written permission. We would only ever use them with your express permission and that is totally optional for you both.
We are a husband & wife team and we work together on every session. Dean will take your photos and I (Karen) will help with your posing, styling and dressing. I will make sure that you do not have any costume malfunctions and that your hair & makeup is always perfect.
Many women worry about being in a session with a male but that disappears very fast as they see that we are all about their experience, and getting the very best results.

High resolution digital packages start at $850, Leather bound luxury albums with digital files start at $1890, Hand made folio boxes start at $1990 and wall art begins at $750.
We will go through the prices and options on your discovery phone call & you will be emailed a complete price list.
