We believe that EVERY woman is beautiful. We love helping to empower all women and showing how gorgeous they are with boudoir photography.

We know what you might be thinking…

“ I’ve always wanted to do something special just for myself or my partner—to feel brave, strong, and do something that’s super fun and outside my comfort zone —but I feel: Too nervous, too old, too young, too curvy, too thin, I don’t look good in photos, I HATE being in photos, I don’t know how to pose, I’m too awkward and unco, I should have done this a long time ago, I don’t know what to wear, what if people find out, what if my friends think it’s strange!!?"

Sound familiar? You’re not alone!

Here’s the truth—every woman who steps into our studio has felt these same worries at first. Yet, once they take that first step, they leave feeling confident, empowered, and absolutely in love with their photos.

We’ve photographed women in their twenties through their sixties, sizes 4 to 20+ , from all walks of life and with all levels of confidence.

Our promise is we will guide you every step of the way so you can see yourself in a whole new light—bold, beautiful, and the absolute BEST version of YOU.

A Truly Unique Experience that:

  • Will leave you feeling confident, empowered and sexy.

  • Is an exciting, exhilarating and intoxicating day that you will cherish forever

  • Creates boudoir photographs and artwork that are so gorgeous that you will want to display them proudly in your home

    Richard and Tracey are an amazing team - these are not just photos, this is an experience.

    Richard really listened to myself and partner went out of his way to ensure all parties were comfortable & having fun.

    The results are better than I could have imagined & I would recommend this experience and amazing people to anyone.

    To say that this genuinely has been a life changing experience for me is an understatement.

    As someone who is not body confident, I was nervous for the experience. Richard was professional in his instructions, re: poses and positioning, yet kind and encouraging to achieve photographs way beyond my expectations. This day was very rewarding towards boosting my self-esteem after feeling quite inadequate for some time. And the photos are gorgeous.

    So glad I had the opportunity to do this Boudoir Photoshoot with Richard and his team. He's an amazing photographer and a great time was had by all. He had to bring out the box of tissues on the showing of the images he had snapped in our session. Couldn't believe it was even me in the photos, such a transformation 😍 👏

    I had a wonderful Boudoir Photography session!

    Being my first photoshoot in this style I was a bit nervous at first, but that very quickly turned into confidence! Richard was super welcoming and courteous from the get go and went above and beyond to get all the perfect shots. It was beautiful to see a tailored slideshow of the images afterwards- I was literally lost for words! I felt so empowered and the experience definitely boosted my self esteem

    Thank you Thrive Photography!!

FAQ’s

  • We touched on this briefly above but will explain this in more detail here.

    When we say we will guide you every step of the way, we truly mean it. Much to the amusement of everyone who comes in, I actually do the poses for you so you can see how to do it. I really should do a Youtube video of it; it would probably go viral as a funny video.

  • When you book a boudoir session with us, we reserve an entire day just for you, including scheduling a professional hair and makeup artist to ensure you look and feel your best. Because of this, we require a $200 reservation fee to hold your session date and time.

    Your $200 reservation fee will be fully refunded if you decide not to purchase anything after your session. If you do choose to invest in artwork from your session, the $200 will be applied as a credit toward your order.

    We’ll go over all the details with you when you book to ensure you feel comfortable and confident about your experience.

  • Short answer - Yes.

    This is where we put the final polish on the photos so they are ready for production so they look awesome.

    We also edit out things like pimples, even out skin tone if there are tan lines, fix stray hair, and remove any blemishes such as a rash or a bruise from your latest visit to paintball or playing netball.

    We will also get your feedback when you choose your photos as to any editing requests you may have.

  • Yes, of course. Confidentiality and privacy are assured.

    We would never dream of sharing anyone's photos without their express consent.

  • We do not provide underwear for obvious hygiene reasons. But we do provide everything else. We have a nice selection of tulles, dressing gowns, jewellery and other accessories.

    Once you book your date, we will send you our handy dandy preparation guide for a boudoir lingerie photoshoot.

  • Absolutely yes. We have done MANY plus-size boudoir photography sessions.

    We know how to photograph and pose to flatter. We also have a collection of tulles and dressing gowns, and various other clothing outfits so that you get the most out of your boudoir photography experience.

  • Yes, we do a lot of nude photography. We do not display many of those photos on this site for obvious confidentiality reasons.

    We lean more towards tasteful nudes or “nude art photography”.

    We can either plan a nude-only photo session or include it as part of your boudoir photography experience.

  • Bridal boudoir we typically done in the months before the wedding. We feel it is a little different than a “standard” boudoir photography session. It is usually softer and lighter and leans more towards a beauty shoot, emphasising the grace and beauty of a bride-to-be.

    It is a beautiful gift for your future husband or wife and is a wonderful testament to who you are right now before the exciting changes that marriage brings.

  • This is something we do on request quite often. We feel there is a fine line between tasteful and artistic photos in this genre and what is essentially lewd photos. We do not publically display these photos for privacy reasons , but we can discuss this further if it is something you are interested in.

  • We do provide that service and would love to help you.

    We can provide you with business photographs that you can use for your website and online listings such as Scarlet Blue or Escorts and Babes.
