" ‘I don’t like my thighs.’ ‘Look at the muffin top’ ‘gross’. Just some of the regular self talk, and that’s all before 7am!
I booked my shoot for someone else… Surprise anniversary gift for my hubby who sees nothing but amazing in me. I couldn’t believe I’d taken the plunge, felt sick, and talked one of my besties into booking at the same time for moral support!
A couple of days before I decided to turn off the negative – Bianca’s amazing, her photos are amazing and even though I can’t look like that I figured I’d just trust her and hubby would like them regardless.
Then comes shoot day. Walk into the studio to one of the most fierce, unapologetically supportive women you’ll meet. Outfits to help put the mask on you might need. Amazing makeup where you look in the mirror and see something that makes you smile. The first pose demonstrated, guided, and cheered. And the first look at the captured image… She’s a voodoo woman!! I like what I see! What’s next?! Another outfit! Oh no we’re done?!
I booked for someone else… and while I know he’ll be SUPER happy, it turned into something for me. The turning point, the day I, even a little bit, start to see myself how I see everyone else, and captured forever to remind me of it all.
If you’re on the fence, jump off and book! It will be the best thing you’ve ever done!"
“I booked in with B at the end of last year and I was so worried about what the outcome could be for professional photos and never having had them done before. I was having my own self doubt thinking it’s going to highlight the things that my little voice tells me is ‘gross’.
All I can say is the art B creates and delivers! *chefs kiss* I cannot believe what she captures and the beauty that she sees and makes obvious in every photo! Ahhhh I cannot even explain! The whole day was amazing and such a welcoming environment to become naked in! The positivity and the energy is everything you need and want in that moment! If you are having doubts or thinking it’s not worth it. ITS WORTH IT! Everyone is beautiful in their own way and B makes you see that and feel that!
BOOK THE SHOOT! Confidence @ an all time high!”
“I have been anticipating the arrival of this collection with mixed emotions. Like I said to you I have body dysmorphia, I see myself 70Kg heavier. I struggled to relax through our session with the voices of people who are supposed to love you in my head telling me i am still not good enough. Not good enough as a size 10 and not good enough at a size 24…"You’d be so much prettier if you didn’t have all that cellulite”… It is truly a thing!!!
Well I take my hat off to you, I have looked at this collection over and over again, and the more i re-visited it and the more i closed it and reopened it, I have fallen in love with what I see. It is a testament that every now and then one should take a step back and see yourself through another’s eyes!! And you my girl have delivered.
45 years now I have been someone’s Daughter, someone’s Sister, an Aunty a friend, a Wife, a Lover, a Colleague, an Acquaintance and a Grandmama, and all those lumps and bumps and imperfections are memorialized on this body. A body that has helped me every step of the way. I got lost amongst the titles, almost forgotten, but I am still here and I am SEXY!! Not bad for an ol' girl!!!
Thank you for reminding me that no matter our size shape or form we are Beyoutiful!!! We all have a story to tell and our bodies are what carried us through every one xxxx"
"Like most of us, I was sitting on the fence for a while, not necessarily because of nerves or lack of confidence, I just felt like boudoir wasn’t for me, kind of like it didn’t align true to myself (dramatic I know). Honestly, I just found it hard to picture myself in lingerie and a full face of makeup, that’s not my everyday vibe. Catch me wearing my oodie 24/7 . After months of being a member and reading everyone else’s experiences, my brain decided it was okay to try something new, so I booked in! (Thanks boudie community, y’all are such hype queens)
Leading up to my shoot, I receive a ton of emails on what to expect and how to prepare for it, keeping me well organised for my shoot. Being a perfectionist, I absolutely appreciated it.
The environment Bianca creates in her studio is so bloody chill. She has a calm and casual nature about her that makes you forget that your booty cheeks & ta-tas are literally out and about. My session was extremely easy going, sensory overload wasn’t a worry. We took our time and created some bootiful pics.
I guess the moral of the story is to keep an open mind. Don’t put yourself in a box, it’s okay to express yourself in a different light. Boudoir is for everyone, and everyone deserves to feel comfortable & sexy.
Thank you Bianca again for all that you do. you’re changing lives girl fr fr 10/10"
“Tell you what – Bianca wasn’t the only Queen on East Street yesterday
I’d been quietly lurking for a while and then on an impulse I just thought fuck it and booked myself in. Boy am I glad I did.
I was so nervous arriving yesterday morning. I sat in the car park for 20 minutes before my appointment contemplating calling in sick but B is a breath of fresh air from the second you walk through the door. Welcoming, friendly, relatable and funny. Within seconds we were on the couch chatting like old friends catching up.
If you look up hype girl in the dictionary you shall find a cute little photo of Bianca because that’s what she was yesterday. My personal hype girl.
If you’re considering in investing for yourself do it.
Don’t think, just dive.
Ps – When you read the package and it says stretch – do it. I’m a Pilates girly and stretched every day during the week lead up and I’m still sore today!”
“So at the beginning of the year I was deep into a lengthy weight loss, mental health and self discovery journey. As a result I created a goal, a “date myself list” of things that I always wanted to do by myself and most importantly for myself. At the very top of that list was a boudoir shoot. I had been following B’s work for quite a while and knew that this was something that I wanted to do for myself one day. And like many others can relate no doubt, I kept putting off that “one day”. For various reasons, my body wasn’t where I wanted it to be yet, I’m not “pretty” enough for these kinds of photos, I couldn’t justify the expense because my brain wouldn’t allow me to see it as an investment into myself.
Then B had her sale and I did the cirque de Soleil mental gymnastics I needed to, to get past my mean brains hurdles to pull the trigger and book in.
Yesterday was my shoot day. When I tell you I was stressed. No word of a lie, I sat in my car having an anxiety attack wondering how I’m going to call in sick . I however forced myself in that door though and I have never been more proud of myself and grateful for the experience. As soon as I stepped in I was greeted by a supportive, welcoming, fun environment. B is the ultimate hype woman, I left that studio thoroughly obsessed with myself. I don’t have the words to articulate how much this whole experience empowered me and helped me really see myself in a more positive light. I am actually so freaking excited to see my gallery. And I’m already thinking about booking another session next year!”
"I’m actually obsessed at looking at myself for once! I can’t believe it’s me.
The quality of the prints and album is exceptional! I was expecting quality but these are next level.
For those unsure… book it!!
I was you. Even having the most amazing experience in studio, mentally I still doubted that I’d find very many images I’d actually like (as they were of myself of course, nothing on B’s work.)
My reason for doing the shoot changed from when I booked (Nov last year) until when I did the shoot in June and I am so glad I didn’t back out.
I still find myself browsing my digital images more often than I thought I would and now I have my hard copies I can’t see myself stopping.
I’m so happy with my gallery I’ll show anyone and everyone who agrees to have a look. I’m sure my friends are sick of seeing my nipples and arse by now. Sorry not sorry to any visitors that come to my house now.
Regardless of how you’re feeling about yourself now is the time. Do it. Book it! You will not regret and level up your self confidence "
"Got my photos back today and oh my goodness, I immediately started crying. I truly do not have much confidence in my body,I suffer *severely* with body dysmorphia and in spite of seeing how talented B is,I really didn't think I'd love my photos as much as I do because.. well,it's me. I was so so very wrong to doubt myself! But ladies, pleaseeee!! Do NOT sleep on this! Get your shoot done NOW.
Not when you've lost weight,not when you like the way you look even,do it right now! As you are, in all your natural glory B will help you see yourself in a whole new light,you'll seriously shock yourself. Thank you so much for making a girl feel like the sexy Goddess she is! You've done it again! I can't wait to book in again one day to see how my body changes throughout the years."
"I had my shoot with Bianca today and when I tell you I was nervous that’s an understatement. I’d tried to bad bitch my way through up until today, telling myself I ain’t scared, then all the nerves hit at once when I woke up this morning.
But from the moment i stood into the studio, all those nerves melted away. Bianca and Molly made me feel like I was just hanging out with a couple of childhood friends, the vibes were immaculate and the banter even better. Mollys hair and make up was absolutely phenomenal as always, my exact words to Bianca when I looked in the mirror were “she never misses does she”
As a bigger girl, about size 18-20, I always admired everyone in this group who was able to take the leap into boudoir, and always told myself I’d do it one day once I’d lost a bit of weight. But then one day something clicked, and I thought you know what, FUCK THAT. I don’t need to change anything about myself to be sexy or “camera ready” i need to love my body the way it is now, and I can proudly say walking out of that studio today that my confidence has sky rocketed, all thanks to Bianca.
If you are ever in doubt about booking a shoot, please take this as your sign to just fucking do it
Thank you Bianca for creating a safe, judgement free, encouraging space that allows us baddies to be the baddest versions of ourselves "
“What drove me to book this shoot was someone reminding me that I will never be this young again and my body will never look the same. It’s so annoying how quick we are to put ourselves down and point out our insecurities and it’s not fair. Trying to change that mindset one day at a time.
And originally I booked the shoot with the intention of it being a gift for my partner on our wedding day. But it ended up being so much more.
Having not slept the night before due to anxiety and nerves I was scared as hell getting ready yesterday morning. But as soon as I walked through those studio doors and saw Molly and Bianca, I was made to feel so comfortable. The tunes were banging and the conversation was flowing.
I’ve never had professional hair and make up done in my life. When I looked in the mirror after Molly had done her thang, my reaction was “What the fuck! That’s not even my face! Oh my God!”
IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE . It was absolutely flawless (and actually ended up booking her for our wedding).
I had brought my own lingerie to wear but had also had a look through Bianca’s Client Closet and kept some pieces in mind just in case.
You literally don’t have to stress the entire time you are in the studio. Every pose is demonstrated. You are guided, adjusted and hyped up every step of the way. 3 hours in the studio felt like it went soooo quick but I enjoyed every moment of it. Bianca would roll through the photos after every outfit change and I swear every time I was like “Omg how stunning! This is wild!” And pretty sure I said every woman needs to do this at least ONCE in their life.
“I can’t believe I just did that!” I said as I walked away with the biggest smile on my face.
There is no “perfect time”. Stop procrastinating and waiting and book the damn thing. Let Bianca work her boudie magic on you The only thing you will regret is not having done it sooner
P.s. I am rebooked for a couples boudoir and I have never been so excited!”
