Updated Brisbane Boudoir Studio

After a few years with a futon in my studio instead of a bed, it was time for the bed to make a return to my Brisbane boudoir studio. I’ve always loved this bedhead, it is so classy and makes a gorgeous backdrop for boudoir photographs. To say that I am excited for its return would be an understatement. I love having a bed back in the studio!

The chandelier, velvet couch, side table and occasional chair are still part of the studio. I’ve always wanted to add plants to the studio, so I’ll be adding them and other elements gradually to keep things interesting.

If you live in Brisbane, the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast and you’re looking for classy boudoir photographs, then look no further. I’d love to shoot with you 🙂

Long time no post

If you were to look at my neglected blog and social media accounts it would be easy to think I’d disappeared off the face of the earth. So I thought I better rectify that by starting to post again!

As I’m not the best at keeping up-to-date with posting, I thought it best to shelf Facebook and focus on one social media account from now on. My social media of choice will be Instagram, which I’ll be updating regularly. You can find me at www.instagram.com/nikkibrownphotography

Now for some boudoir photographs. My boudoir studio has gorgeous natural light and I love experimenting with different light. If you look throughout my website gallery you’ll find that I capture a lot of clean, light and bright images. But I also really love photographing dark and moody shots to capture a completely different vibe. I believe it’s ideal to capture both styles within the same shoot, in order to provide my clients with variety.

Brisbane photography studio

Almost 8 months after ordering my lounge suite, it has finally arrived! It was being made in a custom colour and was meant to arrive in March, but Covid caused long and frustrating delays. I am happy it is finally here!  As gorgeous as the bed setting was, it was definitely time for a change.  I wanted something in a similar style – an elegant and classy lounge suite.  It includes a modern chesterfield sofa and occasional chair, both with velvet fabric. I also have new artwork, gorgeous throws, and the mirror changed to silver to complement the new look. (I’m just waiting on a side table to arrive in the next couple of months, but other than that my new look is complete.) The couch is huge, so don’t worry, I can still capture laying down shots without the bed. I am looking forward to seeing you in my new studio! Nikki Brisbane boudoir studio

Brisbane maternity boudoir shoot

This is the beautiful Jen, who is having her second child in December.  I really enjoy maternity photo shoots, it is such a special time and definitely needs to be documented, after all it usually only happens once or twice in your life!  Personally I felt at my most beautiful during my pregnancies and I’m so glad that I got in front of the camera.  I’m sure you’ll agree that Jen is glowing 🙂

Jen chose to shoot in bras & undies and implied topless, but don’t feel that you have to if that is not you.  Your clothing choices for your maternity shoot are completely up to you and what you feel comfortable with.

Whether you are a previous client who has done a bridal boudoir shoot with me and now expecting a little one, or we haven’t met yet  … let’s make a time to create some gorgeous pregnancy memories!

1 year wedding anniversary gift – Brisbane boudoir photo shoot

Within a week of each other I had two clients who were both doing their boudoir shoot as a gift for their 1 year wedding anniversary, and this was the second client.  She chose a beautiful 30 page album for her husband, which comes in a classic box and also includes a CD of all purchased photos retouched and high resolution.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

As it is the end of the year tomorrow, it is time for me to reflect on what I am grateful for this year.

Firstly I want to thank all my clients of 2016 – I am grateful to every one of you. When you choose me to be my photographer I don’t take that lightly, I know it comes with a lot of trust in me and my work.

Secondly, I am so grateful for finally having my own studio space, which is a beautiful space that has evolved this year.  It has really helped me to develop my own style and create beautiful consistent work for my clients.

I believe in the law of attraction and vision boards, and this is from my vision board many years ago.  An overseas photographer had shared this photo of their photography studio space online and I fell in love with it and put it on my vision board.  I had wanted a beautiful natural-light home studio for over 5 years before it happened.  It didn’t come quickly, but wow am I thankful it finally happened.  To those of you who have a dream, please do not ever give up that it will come.

Here is to a fantastic 2017! See you next year 🙂

Now offering Maternity Photography Brisbane

As a boudoir photographer who specialises in taking beautiful photos of women, maternity photography seems like such a natural extension of my business.  So I am excited to now be offering maternity sessions!

Before specialising in boudoir photography 5 years ago, I was a family photographer for 10 years.  So I have had a lot of experience with maternity sessions.  The best time to have your maternity photo shoot is 4 weeks-6 weeks before your due date.  You don’t want to have your photo shoot too early as then your bump won’t be as prominent.  And you don’t want to wait too late as I know so many ladies who have had their babies weeks early and then missed out on having their maternity photos done.

Here are some photos taken this week in my Brisbane studio.  Jen had such a large belly, as she is due in just a few weeks.

Perfection is the disease of a nation

Julia Roberts wrote this on her Facebook recently and it caused quite a response:

“Perfection is a disease of a nation. We overlay our faces with tons of make-up. We get botox and even starve ourselves to become that perfect size. We try to fix something but you can’t fix what you can’t see. It’s the soul that needs the surgery. It’s time that we take a stand. How can you expect someone else to love you if you don’t love yourself? You have to be happy with yourself. It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, it’s whats on the inside that counts. Today, I want to put up a makeup-free photo. I know I have wrinkles on my skin but today I want you to see beyond that. I want to embrace the real me and I want you to embrace who you are, the way you are, and love yourself just the way you are.”

Julia Roberts

Some of Julia’s words came from a song written by Sia and sung by BeyoncĂ© called ‘Pretty Hurts’.  It is a beautiful song about loving and accepting yourself.  I love this version of it by singer Louisa Wendorff.
