A small snapshot from our instagram reels.
This is us.
We met when Jake was touring with his band in America and somehow convinced Sabrina to move to Australia.
We found our way to boudoir photography when a bride asked us to photograph her beforehand. We said yes...not entirely knowing what we were doing and haven't looked back since.
For a while we shot together. Then we had kids, Novaria is four, our son is one, and life rearranged itself in the best possible way.
The studio's still completely ours. We just do different things in it now.
We're selective about how many sessions we take on. With two small kids at home, three clients per week, and a genuine belief that doing this incredibly well for fewer women is worth more than doing it good enough for more.
How We Work
Jake handles all boudoir sessions, he's confident but gentle and will guide you through it so you never feel uncomfortable. You will also get professional hair and makeup from Beck, complete posing guidance, and a calm atmosphere where you're never left wondering what to do next.
Our clients absolutely adore him.
His personality has been described as a 'human Labrador', kind, excitable and super sweet.
Sabrina is there for you when you need her, she is the experience designer and although she can't make it to every session, you will see her and her magic throughout.
We're selective about how many sessions we take on each year. We have two young kids at home, and we want to give proper attention to every client rather than rushing.
What You Can Expect
The day will be much more relaxed than you're imagining right now.
You'll be looked after properly from the moment you reach out. And when you see your images for the first time, you'll probably say something along the lines of "I can't believe that's me."
That moment happens pretty much every time, not just because the photos are pretty.
But because they're honest. You looked like that the whole time, you just couldn't see it.
Sabrina
Jake
He's warm, slightly cheeky, and genuinely one of the good ones.
Clients always mention how safe and kind he is, he treats every client like he would his own daughter, with respect and admiration.
What makes him good at this isn't just that he's an incredible photographer but also the fact that he actually cares.
And women tend to feel that pretty quickly once they're in the room with him.
Sabrina is the reason the experience feels the way it does before you even arrive.
She started this business because she spent years being unnecessarily hard on herself about her own body.
After having kids, she looked back at old photos and realised she'd wasted time being her own worst critic.
The studio is her way of making sure other women don't lose that time too.
Beck - Hair & Makeup
Beck is a trained psychologist who booked her own session with us, and liked it so much she never really left. She's been with us for over a year and she's there every single session day.
She's often the first face you see when you arrive. You spend the first hour with her - talking, laughing, getting your hair and makeup done, and by the time you walk in front of the camera, you've usually forgotten you were nervous. Clients regularly say she's the first thing they tell their friends about.
A peak into our cute little life.

Our studio is a little bit of a secret.
The Studio
Second floor of a 100-year-old building on Little Malop Street - right in the heart of Geelong, five minutes from the waterfront, across from Westfield.
From the street, you'd walk straight past us. Once you're up the stairs, it's a completely different world.
Five rooms, multiple sets, natural light in some, our cinematic lighting in others. Warm, private, and genuinely lovely.
Clients are consistently surprised by how hidden it feels given where it is.
Level 2, 101 Little Malop Street, Geelong VIC 3220

The Albums
Our albums are where the experience gets a long life.
Lifetime guarantee, the highest quality materials, designed personally by Sabrina.
A lot of clients say they didn't expect to want one and ended up loving it most.
