What is boudoir?
Boudoir (bou· doir | \ˈbü-ˌdwär) it feeling gorgeous, is a state of mind. It is sensuality, it is confidence, it is empowerment.
In your boudoir session we celebrate you in artistic beauty
You will feel absolutely gorgeous, and be on cloud nine forever.
Boudoir photography is about everyday women taking charge. Boudoir is for every woman. I mean every woman.
Define your own path. Break the mould!
Taking time out to invest in yourself is important. You are important.
Own it girl xx
the most important thing a woman wears is confidence
I think every woman should do this and feel empowered in their own body!

Empowering Transformations
Do you want to know a secret?
All of these ladies are gorgeous, I am sure you agree.
Confession: They are everyday ladies who you walk past in the street, see in the supermarket, at the school gate or in a restaurant.
Each of these woman here has her own story. They’re real, everyday women, just like you and I. These strong women are mums, wives, someones girlfriend, nurses, lawyers, doctors, teachers, real estate agents, fitter and turners, they are everyday women who decided to do something special - just for them.
A Luxury Boudoir Experience with Lara Jane is a Step Towards
Unleashing your power, your sensuality, your confidence.
Knowing who you are, once again.
Knowing that after having your baby - you can get your sexy back.
Celebrating yourself for a change when you do hit that milestone, get the promotion, or turn 40, 50, 60+ years old.
Remembering that you don't have to be so hard on yourself, we truly are our own worst critics.
It's okay to live a little, splurge a little, and feel drop dead gorgeous every once in a while!
"Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful."~ Sophia Loren

Love notes, from everyday babes, like you and me!
Miss E
I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing I felt - and still feel. Looking at my photos - seeing a beautiful woman looking back at me is not something I am used to. I cannot recommend this highly enough - if you are a woman that has to be reminded how amazing and truly beautiful you are - Lara will not disappoint.
MiSS R
Wow what an experience! I have never done anything like this and Lara made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. It was relaxing yet a fun experience finding a new side to me and getting sooo many amazing pictures. I think every woman should do this and feel empowered in your own body!
MISS R
If you want to feel absolutely spoiled for a day, then you need to head over to Lara 😊 I can guarantee you will be over the moon with her results! Plus she's just an absolutely lovely person and will put you at ease and make you feel at home in front of the camera. If you need some ‘treat yourself time’, I recommend Lara 100%!
MISS C
I had such a wonderful experience today! Thank you to the beautiful make up artist, Lana Renee, as well as Lara for an amazing day full of laughs! You made me feel so comfortable throughout the shoot. Had such a great time thank you.
If strength is measured by intelligence, honesty and depth of character, then yes, strong women are hot as hell.
– Paget Brewster
I think it’s something that you do just for yourself for that feeling of confidence because you look beautiful and you feel great.

Before
Before your session, we will chat over the phone about what you want for your boudoir experience. I'll answer any questions and concerns you might have and we'll go over your vision for your session in advance to make sure we get all the details right!
During
I always say that it's more nerve-wracking to anticipate your shoot than it is to actually participate! Just know that we’ve got you, rest assured, that after about 5 minutes, you'll start to get into your groove - get ready to take that sexy feeling home with you!
After
About 10 days post-shoot, you'll get to finally gush over your amazing images. From there you'll get to select prints and beautiful pieces of art. Be prepared, because you're going to love them!!!
FAQ
Everything you need to know to get this DREAM session started
I’m too nervous for something like this, can I do this?
Yes, you can. One thing I was told a while ago by a close friend and mentor, is that feeling nervous and feeling excited are exactly the same feeling (the butterflies in your tummy). The bodies reactions to both emotions are identical so when you are nervous, all you have to do is tell yourself ‘it’s excitement'. So switch to excitement mode as we can't wait to meet you.
How will I know how to pose – do I need experience?
I got you. Just show up, enjoy being pampered and leave the rest to us. I am going to guide you into all the most flattering poses, all the way down to your fingertips!
What should i bring to my photoshoot?
We suggest you bring lingerie, shoes, stockings and accessories. If the photos are a gift for your significant other you might like to bring a sports jumper, their work uniform, or some fun props that are special to you. We have a variety of lacy gowns and a few gorgeous outfits in our client wardrobe you are also welcome to borrow.
Do I do my own hair and makeup for the session?
No, we have the amazing Lana Renee professional makeup artist with over eleven years experience and a team of Professional hair dressers. You just need to sit back, relax and enjoy being spoilt. They are here to pamper you and help you feel confident, empowered, and sexy!
WHO HAS BOUDOIR IMAGES DONE?
Every woman should have beautiful images done. Gifts for Valentine's Day, the wedding day gift for her significant other & anniversaries. Other reasons include divorce, birthdays and personal milestones like weight loss, other body improvement celebrations or just because you can.
I've never done this before, how will I know what to do?
Please don’t worry! We are here for you in every way. Our team will work with you to create just the right look. I will direct you to pose in the most flattering, fun and sexy ways. Using different camera angles and lighting, we will work to play-up your best assets and simply not focus on your least favourite areas (unless of course they're your partners favourites).
Who will photograph my session?
All boudoir sessions are photographed by myself, Lara Jane. I will completely direct you how to move and pose. Give me five minutes and I promise you that you will feel comfortable in front of my camera. You will leave the studio with a skip in your step and feeling absolutely amazing, especially after seeing your images!
What is outdoor boudoir?
The studio is set on 5 acres of beautiful trees, there are a few fun outdoor props on offer, like a rustic clawfoot bath tub...with lots of bubbles, a flower swing, garden chairs, rustic doors and a swimming pool. We can mix up your shoot with outdoor and studio or you can choose another location (additional prices will apply for travel). This session must be a minimum of two hours and will also include photography in the studio.
More questions?
It's the best I have felt in so long. I felt really comfortable in my own body, I felt REALLY good, and I felt really sexy and I felt just AMAZING!

Hi there,
You will always find me with a camera slung over my shoulder - I love photographing women
I understand life - I am a Mum and a Nanna and I have worked in male dominated industries and corporate work places for 20+ years
I understand the struggle, it’s real, society has a way of telling us what is acceptable
I can show you through my camera lens how to embrace and love who you are, because you are beautiful and you are enough. No matter what your size or shape.
There is no mould for us to fit into. I will help you break the rules and feel absolutely AWESOME doing it!
I can't wait to meet you.
