BOUDOIR

You are ART.

THE MOST POWERFUL THING IN THE WORLD
IS A WOMAN WHO KNOWS HER WORTH.

And it is my calling to show you that you are perfect, worthy and ready to show up as your authentic self, as you are.

We have been told by our society and culture that we will not be whole until we own or do this or do that by a certain age. I am here to tell you that you do not need one single worldly possession to feel worthy and empowered. You are incredible and capable of so much right now.

My vision is to encourage you to uplift yourself, and in doing so empower the other women in your life by showing your friends, sisters, mothers and daughters exactly who you are and what you are capable of through the imagery and magic that we create together.

To show you that you can do one of the scariest things that a woman can think of doing and come out of it with more self-confidence and self-love than ever. That you can be curious, vulnerable and open to stepping out of your comfort zone and into your power.

Whether that be in a boudoir photoshoot, self love photos or a legacy portrait shoot. You will leave with images that will freeze this moment in time, images that you can look back on whenever you need to and remember how bad-ass and gorgeous you are.

You are art. Don’t you forget that!

HOW IT WORKS

CLARITY SESSION

This is an approximately 30 minute chat online where we discuss your intentions behind doing this photoshoot as well as what you are hoping to get out of it.

We cover concepts or ideas that you may have for the photoshoot, as well as wardrobe ideas.

I give you tips on the next steps forward so that we are on the same page when it comes to the day of your shoot.

Once the deposit is settled I email through a lingerie guide that will help you decide on what outfits and accessories will be best for your shoot.

SHOOT DAY

Your session starts with being pampered by one of our hair and make up artists.

The shoot consists of two looks (or more, depending on the package you choose).

The looks and set options will depend on the ideas that we discuss in your clarity session.

RETOUCH & IMAGE REVEAL

I pre-select only the best of your images and retouch them.

We then set up your image reveal. This is where you will see your images for the first time.

It is up to you which images are to be in your final selection. You will choose your final images in the image reveal session.

If you love your final images so much that you want more images than are included in your chosen package, pricing will be shared with you before your reveal so that you are confident in your final selection.

PACKAGES START FROM R6 500.00

REVIEWS

Laurie Bauer

“Kat’s incredible direction, talent and professionalism made my boudoir feel as natural as breathing. Her passion for what she does is felt through every step of the process, from planning to the actual shoot, and her perfectionism and consideration makes you feel like you’re the safest hands possible. Thank you for making that experience something I can’t wait to do again!”

“Kat is one of the most talented, creative and easy-to-get-along with photographers that I have worked with. I did a lifestyle shoot with Kat and we had such a great time shooting. She did an amazing job and really knew how to capture my personality in the shots. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Liza Aiken

“Wow! I have nothing but great things to say about Kat’s work. She’s an incredible photographer, she’s remarkably talented and an amazing person to work with. Kat knows exactly how to get the shot and gives excellent guidance on how to execute it! She makes you feel comfortable and at ease but remains professional at the same time. I would highly recommend her for any occasion.”

Every image will go through a professional edit. We will make sure your final images still look like you with a polished and natural edit.

As boudoir is an intimate type of photography most clients bring their own lingerie sets to the photo shoot. There are a few bodysuits and gowns and sets of socks and stockings in the client closet for use at the studio to complete your look.

Included in all packages (except the Raw Package) is a clarity session and a lingerie guide. The guide explains the different kinds of lingerie that work well in a boudoir photo shoot so that you can bring items that suit your tastes.

BUT...I'M NERVOUS!

I totally understand! I’ve been in front of the camera and it was so nerve-wracking walking in and getting undressed. It’s completely normal to have these feelings. Everyone is nervous to start. Most clients are doing this for their first time. After hair and makeup you will feel beautiful and confident. I’m here to guide, support and encourage you the entire way with wardrobe, posing, movement, etc. As we go from pose to pose, you will start having fun and forget about the nerves!

I’M HERE FOR YOU!
