BODY & SOUL BOUDOIR PORTRAITS
Empowering Boudoir Portrait Photography for Women in Geelong and Melbourne.
Rediscover Your Confidence Through Intimate, Black and White Magazine-Style Portraiture. Servicing the Geelong, Surf Coast and Melbourne areas.
FEEL BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, EMPOWERED!
It’s time to create YOUR legacy.
The Body & Soul Portrait experience is for EVERY woman. You do not need to be a model or have a certain body shape or size…the portraits you see on this website are of real, every day women, embracing themselves, their mind, their bodies and souls and celebrating who they are with stunning portraits.
You are ENOUGH and you are INCREDIBLE exactly as you are right now.
You are worthy and you deserve a legacy.
I offer a one-of-a-kind photoshoot experience to inspire confidence in every woman, to help her reconnect with herself, her body and be shown through this artistic expression of photography how incredible she really is. My photography studio offers a private, safe space for self-discovery and appreciation, promoting body positivity and a lasting sense of confidence that transcends the photographs themselves.
WHY ‘BODY & SOUL’ BOUDOIR?
There are so many definitions and understandings of what ‘Boudoir’ means. It is such an archaic term and when I introduced these intimate, empowering photoshoots for women in 2019, I wanted to name them something that truly embodied this experience. If you’ve checked out my work you’ll notice there are no fancy sets, no extravagant wardrobe.. there’s nothing to distract from the most important thing - YOU. It isn’t just about your body, in all its glorious form, it’s also about your SOUL - who YOU are, all of you. And so I lovingly refer to this photoshoot experience as Body & Soul Boudoir.
This is more than just a photoshoot.
YOU ARE ART
You deserve this experience. You do not need to have a partner or loved one to gift these portraits to, you are allowed to want this for yourself. We are all perfectly imperfect, and deserve to document our bodies, souls and lives through stunning portraits.
When was the last time you felt really seen? When was the last time you gave yourself permission to simply exist?
This is more than just a photoshoot.
This is a unique chance for you to reconnect with yourself like never before.
A chance for you to just BE, without all the pressure and expectations of ‘perfection’.
To boost your confidence, feel powerful, strong and proud of who you are.
To celebrate, embrace and document your body, your life as it is right now.
To honour and show your strength, beauty, femininity, and vulnerability.
To do something empowering and create your legacy with soulful, artistic portraits.
A chance to share your story and show others they too are incredible, beautiful and worthy, just as they are.
This photoshoot will leave you empowered, inspired and will change the way you see yourself and I’m excited to guide you through the best gift you can give yourself.
Hello!
I'm Tania, an award winning portrait photographer based in Bannockburn, Victoria, servicing the Geelong and Melbourne areas. I am a portrait photographer OBSESSED with photographing women, helping them create their legacy through portraits.
I started photography as a hobby back in 2008, the same year I also started a PhD in biomedical science. At the time amidst the craziness of PhD life it was my creative outlet and little did I know it would lead me down this path.
After photographing everything from abstract art (water collisions, smoke art), macro photography, landscapes, I finally fell in love with portraits and after having my first son, decided to launch my business in 2015.
For the past 9 years I've photographed squishy newborns, families, created fine art children portraits, branding and headshots and beauty/fashion. Though I have loved it all, it wasn't until I started 'Body & Soul Boudoir' in 2019 that I KNEW this was my jam. I literally felt it in my bones.. Contemporary Boudoir FOR women, not OF women. And since then I have been in awe of every woman who has stepped in front of my camera.
You see, too many women think too little of themselves and I'm here to change that. I truly believe you are enough and you are incredible exactly as you are right now, with no exceptions!
What I do, is hold space for you to reconnect with yourself, and show your beauty and strength back to you. I want you to own your confidence and be empowered to be the best version of yourself.
To witness an incredible woman transform in front of me once she realises her own strength, beauty and worthiness is nothing short of amazing. It’s capturing that self love, connection, preserving those memories and creating a legacy for others that truly fulfils me. This is what motivates me to be the best version of myself and what fills my cup. This is why I absolutely adore Body & Soul photoshoots.
My mission is to help you feel strong and empowered and exist in beautiful photographs; for you and for those you love.
I invite you to a session with me to create timeless, beautiful portraits of you. Your legacy. To last a lifetime.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
-
“There are no words to express the comparison before and after my photoshoot. I went in skeptical that I could have a beautiful photo taken of myself and walked out blown away by how comfortable I felt. Instead of feeling no love for the person I see in the mirror, I now feel as though I am beautiful no matter my size shape or age and now I will forever look at my photos when I am feeling not worthy of my beauty. This experience was more than I could have ever dreamed of.”

“I wasn't really sure what to expect going into it as I'd never done anything like this before but Tania was fantastic to deal with and made the whole process so easy. From our conversations before the session to encouragement and guidance during it and her follow up afterwards was really great and reassuring. It made the whole process so easy and fun! I was already fairly happy and proud of my body but seeing how much beauty Tania can capture in simple poses and outfits made me appreciate my body on a whole other level. Especially as this shoot was done at the start of my first pregnancy it helped me love my body even more and what it is capable of regardless of how toned I am etc. I was really pleased with my experience overall and would highly recommend it to other women regardless of shape, size, or confidence as I think it was a lovely experience. Tania helps build so much confidence in you and your beauty and having those photographs is a wonderful reminder of how incredible our bodies are.”

"I've had photoshoots many times before, but never ever anything like this! This was AMAZING and so, so much fun. Tania pampered me and made me feel like a Queen! She truly is incredibly talented, extremely passionate and gee does she know exactly what she is doing with positioning, lighting, props and how to work with a woman's body. She made me feel completely at ease and I 100% trusted that I was safe in her extremely capable hands. Thank you Tania for giving me the experience of a lifetime and images I never thought I was capable of. The closest to a Hollywood actress I'll ever get!"
