Step into your power, to see yourself as art. Because you are. You always have been.
BOUDOIR: SELF-LOVE IN ART FORM
Life’s funny, isn’t it? We spend years trying to fit into society’s impossible standards – chasing that ever-changing “perfect” body, having it “all” by juggling careers, relationships and family, checking all those boxes. And somewhere along the way, our own needs slip quietly to the bottom of the pile.
Maybe you’ve carried and nourished beautiful babies, watching in awe as your body created literal miracles, or maybe you’re approaching one of those birthdays that make you pause and reflect. And sometimes, all that changing and growing, of being everything to everyone, we lose sight of ourselves. We forget about that beautiful, strong woman who’s weathered storms and celebrated joys. The one who’s proven time and time again just how resilient she is.
I’m not here to help you fit to yet another mold. I’m here to help you rediscover that incredible woman who’s been there all along.
Are you ready to see yourself again?
Ready to embrace, celebrate and love yourself as you are?
If you’re sitting there thinking “But I need to lose weight first” or “I’m not photogenic” or “I’m too old/young/whatever” – what I know as a photographer of nearly 2 decades that everyone has their own story.
Every woman’s journey to self-acceptance is unique. Some of us are just beginning to embrace our bodies, while others are further along – but no matter where you are, this experience is for everyBODY. Right now, you might feel unsure, nervous and that’s normal.
I totally get it – stepping in front of the camera can feel vulnerable. But here’s a thought: you don’t need to change a thing about yourself to be worthy. Boudoir isn’t about sexy photos or becoming someone else – it’s about seeing yourself in a new light.
Who will be photographing you?
Hi! I’m Petra!
Throughout our time working together – from our first consultation to the moment you receive your images – I want you to know that you are more than enough, exactly as you are. My goal is to capture you in a way that feels natural and thoughtful, ensuring you feel comfortable, confident, and free to be yourself.

What you can expect from a boudoir experience with me?
1. Pre-shoot Planning
We’ll start with an intro consultation where we’ll chat about your expectations, your vision, ideas. This is a great opportunity to get to know each other better, tell me more about you and why you would like to do this photoshoot.
Do you want just beautiful photos? Fine by me! But if there is a deeper meaning that motivates you, I’d like to explore these layers with you so your photos reflect you.
We’ll talk about preferred location, look at photo products and pricing in detail, your initial style preferences, what makes you feel most confident and also explore your comfort zones.
2. The style of your boudoir photoshoot
Once you’re booked, the fun begins! My thorough questionnaire will help you define the style of your photoshoot and to bring your vision to life even more, creating a visual moodboard is a great way to collaborate and refine the direction of your shoot.
We’ll choose the perfect location to complement your style and select outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful.
To ensure you look and feel your best on the day, I work with an incredible makeup artist who’ll connect with you directly beforehand. Her approach is to enhance, not transform—so you still feel 100% like yourself, just with that extra touch of magic. But if going completely bare feels right, that’s absolutely fine too.
3. The photoshoot itself
Nerves are natural and you may not know where to start, so think of me as your personal movement coach – I make sure you’re comfortable and I’ll guide and even demonstrate throughout. Though, the magic really happens when we work together – your trust and openness combined with my expertise creates something special. This is our shared journey to capture your authentic self.
4. The reveal
The moment you’ve been eagerly anticipating!
Within two weeks of your session, you’ll receive access to a private online gallery where you can view your stunning images from the comfort of your home.
From there, you can purchase the photos you truly love. If in doubt or need help deciding, we can arrange an online viewing at a time that suits you.
You’ll have the option to choose from digital collections, as well as albums, elegant folio boxes, and stunning fine art prints. Whether you prefer small prints or statement pieces, we’ll create something that feels perfect for you.
Let’s chat about your dream photoshoot.

“Let the stories of who you were send shivers down the spines of our granddaughters. Let them hear about you as the woman who was Herself who did her own thing and helped others along the way.”
