I’m a photographer based in Rockhampton, and I’ve been behind a camera for about 12 years now.

I didn’t start in boudoir.

I was studying beauty, planning to become a makeup artist, and taking photos on a friend’s digital camera just to build my portfolio. Somewhere in the middle of that, my ex saw something in my photos and started teaching me how to actually use a camera properly. What started as a bit of fun quickly became something more.

When I turned eighteen, he encouraged me to start charging. So I did.

My first month of photography I was charging $50 a shoot and figuring things out as I went. Not long after, I was picked up by an agency and thrown straight into the deep end of the fashion industry. For the next six years I worked in fashion, travelling, shooting models, and even helping train them.

It was intense, fast-paced, and it taught me a lot about people, confidence, and the way the camera sees us.

Then COVID hit.

Like a lot of industries, modelling took a massive hit, and photography slowed down. When I came back, I shifted more into commercial and fashion work, rebuilding things piece by piece.

Then in 2024, something unexpected happened.

I started shooting sessions with bikes and lingerie. Those shoots blew up. Suddenly women were asking if I did boudoir. At first I only took on a handful of sessions.

But something about it stuck with me.

I watched women walk into the studio nervous, unsure, sometimes fighting the voices in their heads telling them they weren’t enough. And then I watched them change.

I saw the strength in them.

The fight.

The confidence that slowly started to appear.

It inspired me more than anything I’d shot before.

And somewhere in the middle of helping other women see themselves differently… I started seeing myself differently too.

So in 2025 I opened my home studio and shifted my focus fully into boudoir photography.

My view on boudoir

I don’t believe boudoir is a luxury.

Confidence shouldn’t be something only a few women get to experience.

It shouldn’t be reserved for people who already feel perfect.

Boudoir is a rebellion.

It’s a fight against the outside voices telling you how your body should look…

and the inside voice that sometimes believes them.

It’s about standing in your body exactly as it is right now and saying,

“This is mine.”

And every woman deserves that moment.

Who I photograph

My clients are all women.

Skinny girls.

Plus-size girls.

The maidens.

The mothers.

The crones.

The confident ones.

The nervous ones.

The ones who almost cancelled three times before showing up.

If you’re willing to take the first step, I’ll be right there beside you.

Sometimes all someone needs is a hand to hold while they do the scary thing.

And me, outside the camera

I’m a bit of a chaotic mix of things.

I’m a book girl.

A fantasy nerd.

A Dungeon Master.

A proud dice goblin.

I love mythology, metal music, creativity, and building worlds — whether that’s in a D&D campaign or inside a photography set.

That’s probably why I love boudoir so much.

It lets me explore every creative side of photography — moody, cinematic, rebellious, playful, powerful, sensual.

No two shoots are ever the same.

And that’s exactly how I like it.

If you’re nervous

Most women are.

Almost every client walks into my studio thinking they aren’t confident enough, sexy enough, or ready yet.

You don’t need modelling experience.

You don’t need to know how to pose.

You don’t need to “fix” anything first.

You just need to show up.

The rest?

That’s my job.
