Gold Coast swimsuit photography at The Spit

For Gold Coast swimsuit photography you always have your fingers crossed that there will be no rain or storms on the day of the shoot. If there is likely to be rain, I am always happy to reschedule the morning of the shoot.

So we were really lucky on this day to have the most beautiful weather and clear blue skies. There was also very little wind, which is a rarity at the Spit on the Gold Coast.

Thanks to Miss J for making this a fun swimsuit photography shoot – it was lovely to see her again and it is such a privilege to be chosen to take photos for her a second time.

Lots of swimsuit shoots

Swimsuit photo shoots have been very popular lately. It’s a great chance to do something a little different to the normal inside glamour shoot. Why not spend an afternoon like those Sports Illustrated models – lounging around the beach while I capture some beautiful images of you.

I can shoot in either Brisbane or the Gold Coast, as all you need is a bit of water and sand. The weather is starting to get colder now, so make sure that if you are interested in a beach shoot to get in quick.

Gold Coast beach shoots at the Spit

Well it’s summer again and that means lots of Gold Coast beach shoots! If you are a bit shy about your bikini shoot then I suggest doing your shoot on a weekday to avoid an audience!

One of my favourite magazines is Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. I love seeing all the beautiful images when this magazine comes out every February. The models look amazing and the photos are very natural. I do find it quite funny though that the photographer, models and crew all fly first class overseas to an exotic location, and then you only see a bit of sand and water in the final photograph so it could have been taken at a local beach for all anyone can tell!

The main reason I enjoy shooting outside is that I can capture the blue sky in my photos, and also achieve that gorgeous windswept look.

Here are some recent shots I’ve taken at the Spit. To view more of my work visit www.nikkibrown.com.au.

Gold Coast glamour photographer – Clair’s photo shoot

As a Gold Coast glamour photographer, every few months I book out a hotel apartment for the weekend so that girls can have their glamour shoot in a nice hotel room for minimal cost. My last hotel shoot weekend was at the beginning of May and it was then that I photographed Clair.

Clair was lucky enough to secure an afternoon time slot which meant she got to do shots both in the hotel room as well as swimsuit shots on the beach. It can be hard to decide between lingerie or swimwear for your photo shoot, so to do both styles in the one shoot is such a bonus.

As you will see from the photos Clair is a beautiful girl, and she was also lots of fun to shoot with. The weather was perfect, we had clear blue skies and the afternoon light had such a magical quality.

Here are some of Clair’s gorgeous photos.

Gold Coast Glamour Photography – A testimonial

I have just had my first Gold Coast hotel shoot weekend, and it was amazing to hold glamour photography shoots there! The hotel room had the most spectacular views of the ocean, and as the hotel was right on the beachfront the lucky girls with an afternoon spot were able to do both boudoir photos in the hotel room and then some swimsuit photos on the beach.

I couldn’t believe my bad luck that I broke my toe right before the weekend and got told by the doctor that I had to stay off it for several days! I just made sure to put my feet up at every possible chance. I will definitely be doing many more hotel shoot weekends, so stay posted for final dates.

One of the girls I photographed during the hotel weekend sent me the most lovely email after she saw her images last night. She has said it is fine for me to share her email, and this is what she wrote:

‘It was such a pleasure to have met you! you are so nice and amazing to work with..never felt so relaxed with someone..and i have never felt so beautiful:-) the images were all so beautiful!! its so hard to choose from !!! aaaaaaaahhhhh! ;-P i will definitely recommend you to my friends..your work is absolutely stunning.. thank you so much Nikki.. it so nice to meet such a beautiful lady inside and out.. take care always.. and keep up the good work of making an everyday woman feel the most beautiful in the world.’

Wow! I sooo love my job, I get to meet such wonderful girls and have so much fun. Thanks Lorie for letting me share that – you are a gorgeous girl and such a pleasure to shoot with! Here is a photo from the shoot.

Brisbane Swimsuit Photography – Lisa’s shoot

Meet Lisa, she recently had a Brisbane swimsuit photography shoot. I know you are going to find it hard to believe, but she is 37 years old and has 3 kids. And she still looks like a supermodel! I was sure she must be a gym junkie but alas she just runs to stay fit.

Lisa’s swimsuit shoot was on a Friday, so we had the beach all to ourselves. For any girls out there that are a little shy I definitely recommend a weekday shoot to avoid the crowds. It was such a windy day, but it ended up being to our advantage as we got the lovely windswept look.

I get a lot of enquiries from mums who are interested in doing a glamour shoot and they are always concerned about their body not being the way it used to be. I understand your concerns. I know that not everyone is going to have a figure like Lisa, and that is okay. I will use the poses and camera angles that flatter you – that highlight what you and your partner do like about your body, and hides what you don’t. Photoshop is also amazing at any slight nips and tucks, although I’m a firm believer in only using it to enhance realistically.

Here are some photos from Lisa’s swimsuit shoot. She is such a beautiful person inside and out and I wanted to capture that. I have to confess that I also have a real love of sun flare shots, I find them so natural and beautiful!
