You are invited
However you arrive, woman, man, couple or bride, this is your space to be bold, tender and unapologetically yourself.
Our portraits transform and inspire confidence, revealing the shape and light of your feminine power that you may have never witnessed before. Whether you are 24, 42 or 60, you are an absolute masterpiece deserving of everything you want in life. This includes feeling beautiful, worthy and SEEN, most importantly BY YOURSELF.
Most of our clients step into the studio with their own self-doubts about whether or not they could look as sophisticated as the women they saw in our gallery. Every client leaves the studio feeling splendid, empowered with their photographs and eager to have a boudoir photo session with us again.

Caroline, Langwarrin, Vic Bridal boudoir session
“I know what it feels like to have lived in a body which you have struggled to love. The old me would NEVER have put my hand up and said YES for something like this. I had convinced myself that it was not for me. I was not the right body shape, size, person. Sisters, we are our own harshest critics. Working with Marina, I felt understood. I felt respected. And I felt like a QUEEN! Everything a woman should feel! Marina has an eye for capturing the beauty in every moment and in every perfect imperfection.”

The SEEN Portrait Experience
Boudoir FAQ
Before you book your boudoir photo session
What makes you different from other photographers?
At our core, we’re all about empowering women and girls through the art of portraiture, and that applies to you, no matter your age, size, or level of comfort in front of the camera. We prioritize your needs and wants throughout the entire process, from our initial consultation to the final photo selection.
Our approach is entirely personalized and luxurious, resulting in a portrait experience unlike any other. Our photoshoots exude the high-end fashion editorial feel, completely distinct from the typical mundane portrait shoot. So get ready to break free from the norm and embrace your unique beauty with us!
Do you provide hair and makeup?
At our sessions, we provide professional hair and makeup styling. We believe that you are already beautiful just the way you are, and our goal is not to change that perception. Instead, we want to spoil you with a luxurious experience where you can fully indulge. Sitting in the makeup chair can help you relax and ease any nerves, while the makeup itself helps the camera capture the best possible lighting on your face.
Whether you prefer a natural look or full-on glamour with lashes, our skilled makeup artists will listen to your desires and ensure that you’re satisfied with your appearance. We are your ultimate dream team, dedicated to elevating your confidence and making you feel amazing in your own skin!
Can I do my own makeup and hair?
To maintain our reputation for delivering top-notch results and meet your expectations, we rely on our experienced and trusted team of professional makeup artists and hairstylists. They are well-versed in our distinctive “refined natural” style and possess the expertise needed to create outstanding photos. Nevertheless, we value your comfort, and if you prefer to do your own hair and makeup, we are open to discussing your preferences.
I don’t know what to wear, and I don’t have sexy outfits or lingerie
Prior to the photoshoot, we work together with you to design a mood board that reflects your preferred style inspirations.
We believe that sexiness comes from within and we won’t impose any conventional “sexy” standards on you. Instead, we offer suggestions that prioritize your confidence and encourage you to wear anything that makes you feel great.
Some clients bring their entire wardrobe, while others prefer to rent or purchase certain pieces. With the opportunity to switch up your look throughout the shoot, you don’t have to limit yourself to a single outfit.
What is your editing and retouching philosophy?
When you’ve been photographed by us, we want you to see an authentic portrayal of who you are without any alterations to your true self. We believe that the female form is a genuine work of art, in all its diverse shapes, sizes, and skintones. If you have any apprehensions before the shoot, we’ll use poses and lighting techniques to address them. Any other minor adjustments can be handled in post-production.
What is the schedule for a typical portrait session? How long does it take?
Our typical photoshoot day starts at 9.30 am with a warm welcome and delicious refreshments. We’ll then discuss your wardrobe and move on to hair and makeup, ensuring you look and feel your absolute best.
This day is all about you, with ample time to experiment with different looks, outfits, and poses while receiving guidance throughout. The atmosphere is set with fresh flowers, scented candles, and your favourite music.
After the photo session, you’ll have time for lunch before joining us in our screening room for a photo presentation and to order your final prints.
Most boudoir photoshoots finish by 2.30 pm, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your special day with us. Remember, this day is all about treating yourself!
I had a photo shoot before and didn’t like the photos
As a photographer, I’m deeply sorry to hear about your previous experience. But we’re thrilled that you’ve chosen us! We have a reliable process that guarantees your satisfaction with your photos. Before the shoot, we hold consultations to align with you on the image style, hair, makeup and wardrobe, ensuring that we capture your vision perfectly. If you’re still unsure, check out our Testimonials page for some positive feedback from our satisfied clients.
I’m not the model I see in typical boudoir photos. I don’t know how to pose!
This is fantastic, because our approach to boudoir photography is different from the norm. Boudoir is not solely about posing your body; it’s about bringing out your natural flow and highlighting the best sides of you.
You might be surprised to learn that none of the clients you see in our gallery were experienced models or knew how to pose. With our expert guidance, they all managed to achieve outstanding results and you will too!
Where are you located?
Our Cheltenham boudoir studio in Melbourne is the perfect space for all boudoir sessions. It’s located just two minutes away from the Westfield Southland shopping centre and a step away from Victoria golf club.
If you are interested in boudoir photography beyond the studio, we offer empowering retreats and outdoor shoots in natural settings. We also extend our services to locations outside Victoria and are always open to exploring new possibilities and creating unique experiences tailored to your preferences.
How far in advance should I book my session?
We recommend leaving ample time between your session date and the day you plan to deliver your photos as a gift to your significant other. For a safe timeline, we recommend a minimum of 6 weeks, but 8 weeks would be ideal.
When will I get to see my photos?
You will see your photos right after your shoot, isn’t it exciting!
Can I do a boudoir session with you even if I’m not comfortable being nude or almost nude?
Of course! In our boudoir sessions, you have the freedom to wear whatever makes you feel empowered and confident. Whether it’s a casual outfit, power suit, ball gown or nothing at all, we want to capture the real you. The photoshoot is an opportunity to rediscover and embrace your true self, and your choice of wardrobe is just one aspect of that.
Will my images be posted online?
We understand that privacy is paramount, so we offer a range of options for image release. You can choose a full release, a partial or anonymous release, or no release at all. Rest assured that client privacy is of utmost importance to us, and we will never share your images without your explicit permission.
I’ve gained weight recently. Shouldn’t I wait until I’m back at my normal weight?
Absolutely not! You are so much more than a number on a scale. A shoot with us will silence that inner voice that makes you doubt yourself and help you learn to love yourself as you are. We’ll highlight your best features and minimize any insecurities you may have.
Let’s empower the next generation to love themselves for who they are, not their size. And with us, you don’t have to wait for a special occasion to do a boudoir session, it can be part of your self-love journey at any time.
I don’t like to have my photos taken
We understand that feeling confident in front of the camera can be tough, but rest assured, you’re not alone. Once you’ve had your hair and makeup done and experienced the fun of the photoshoot, you’ll find confidence you never knew you had. We witness it every time! Being pampered by creative professionals and indulging in the luxury experience can make all the difference.
Can I just buy my digitals?
We provide a digital, social media optimized file of every photograph you purchase. Plus, our artwork service takes the hassle out of finding a good printer and arranging printing. We offer advice on paper stocks, sizing and even create a virtual mockup of your images on a photo of an interior wall in your home. Let us help you showcase your beautiful images in the best way possible!
Can I print my photos myself?
To ensure privacy and the highest quality prints, we strongly recommend printing your photos through our studio.
Privacy. We work exclusively with a professional photo printing lab, guaranteeing your privacy and preventing your photos from being handled or viewed by unauthorized individuals, which can be a concern at general print shops.
Quality. We stand by our products with a lifetime warranty on all prints. We can’t promise that you’ll be able to achieve the quality that you expect by printing at print shops or chain stores. By printing with us, you’ll receive the beautiful, high-quality artworks that will last a lifetime.
