Christchurch Boudoir

and Wedding Photographer

We find that we see ourselves a certain way, never wanting to believe friends and family when they tell us otherwise. This is why I got into doing boudoir photography. I want to change that and help others see themselves as they truly are.

About Kathryn

I developed a passion for boudoir photography through my personal journey with mental health challenges. My experiences with depression and body dysmorphia have shaped my perspective, fuelling my desire to foster self-love and appreciation for all body types. Boudoir photography entered my life at a pivotal moment, offering not only a creative outlet for myself but also a way to help others who may be struggling with similar feelings.

In my Christchurch photography home-studio, I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where all individuals — whether new mums, men, brides-to-be, members of the rainbow community, or entertainers (s*x workers and aerials performers) — can come together to celebrate their unique beauty. My mission is to build a community that encourages body positivity, respect, and acceptance. I aim to show every client that their bodies are worthy of love and respect, helping them to embrace their individuality and feel confident in their skin. Everyone is welcome in my boudoir studio, where we can work together to redefine self-image and promote healing through artistry.

What clients have to say…

Miss M

Kathryn is truly exceptional at what she does. Her photography skills are second to none, and her passion shines through in the incredible artwork she creates. Kathryn made me feel so comfortable and beautiful during our session, which comes through in the stunning images she was able to capture. I would recommend Kathryn Louise Photography to anyone wanting a self-confidence boost. Thank you, Kathryn. I can't wait to work with you again in the future.
Emilie

I highly recommend Kathryn Louise Photography for any ladies looking to do a boudoir shoot. Kathryn made me feel super at ease and comfortable. I’m two years post partum and have really struggled with my post baby body and feeling sexy but after our photo shoot I’ve now realised that I can still be sexy even with the stretch marks and the extra weight that I haven’t managed to lose. I found the photoshoot so empowering and I feel confident that I can now rock wearing lingerie again. Thank you so much for the photos Kathryn, I love them!
Vee

I’m in love with these images. Working with Kathryn was such a lovely experience. Her style is intimate, sensual with a careful consideration for details. When you look at her work, you can really feel her personality shine through - sensitive, and a little edgy. Kathryn has a great eye and I would highly recommend reaching out to her if you’d like some photos of yourself as a keep sake or maybe you’ve just gotten engaged and would like to do a shoot to celebrate. I can’t wait to share the rest
Amelia

Patrice - Workshop

Highly recommend Kathryn's workshops and one to one tutoring, she has patience, grace and exceptional experience. Kathryn's sense of community and support for clients and photographers is what she is about, highly recommend her.
Miss T

After having my photos taken by Kathryn, I felt so much more confident in myself... I left feeling so much better about my body image [after having my child] and think all women need to feel that.

Absolutely amazing and professional. I had a photo shoot today, and have never felt this confident, or positive about myself before now. I would highly recommend her if you want any sort of photography work
