At Kathryn Louise Photography, I understand that boudoir is so much more than just a sexy picture. It's a journey towards finding your inner peace and self-confidence, a way to see yourself in a whole new light. This is the heart of why I’m passionate about boudoir photography.
My goal is to empower women to embrace their bodies just as they are and to feel proud of themselves. I want you to be able to look in the mirror and say, "Yes, this is me, and I am undeniably beautiful!" These sessions are deeply personal, so I strive to create a comfortable and safe space for everyone involved.
I encourage clients to meet up before the shoot, whether for coffee or another public setting, to establish a connection and address any questions or concerns.
My priority is to provide you with a joyful and empowering environment throughout the process. This journey should be exciting and transformative for you. Let's celebrate your beauty and confidence together at Kathryn Louise Photography.
It doesn’t even have to be all about lingerie.
Boudoir can be anything from cardigans to a sexy set, with all that in-between, your options are endless. If you are feeling a little overwhelmed, please feel free to talk with me or a close friend so we can help find something for your comfort and confidence level ❤️
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.
Drawing inspiration from my technical background, I approach photography with a blend of precision and creativity. Self-taught and constantly evolving, I embrace experimentation with shadows and contrast, capturing the essence of self-love and body positivity in every photograph.
With Kathryn Louise Photography, you can expect a professional touch infused with a distinctive eye for detail. Join me on a journey to celebrate individuality and promote respect for all bodies.
Where it all started
I got into boudoir photography after having done my own photoshoot with a photographer many moons ago. I'm pretty honest with this experience when asked, but basically I didn't actually want any of my photos.
I was left distraught with how I looked and felt about my body. I'm open about my struggles with mental health, and this experience was an absolute kick in the teeth.
I decided I didn't want that for anyone.
I wanted to help people get back to that feeling of self-worth.
As much as boudoir isn't a "fix all", it's a step stone in a journey you take alongside many others on this earth.
Our bodies are our stories. Every stretch mark, every scar is a part of what our bodies have carried us through. The parts of our life that have shaped us to who we are today.
How strong we can become if we let ourselves.
