What is fat positive boudoir?

Body-positive and fat-positive boudoir photography deepens our connection to our bodies and is healing. There are no expectations or any reason to doubt you deserve to fall unapologetically in love with the woman you are today.

When was the last time you looked in the mirror and had something nice to say to yourself? Lifetimes of believing there was only one right way to have a body have altered how we feel in our skin. If you are ready to put yourself first and enjoy a day of pampering, celebrate the woman you are, you have found the right place!

Hi there, I’m

Melanie

I believe every woman, no matter her body shape or background, deserves to embrace her true self and experience self-liberation. Inspired by historical movements like the 1970s fat liberation and advocates of body positivity like Black Lives Matter and Health At Every Size, my studio is on a mission to showcase the diverse beauty and resilience of women.

Are you fed up with all the conflicting social rules that just exist to make you feel bad about yourself? Are you over it all, and just want to feel connected to your own body, celebrate your sensuality and re-connect with the goddess within? In my home studio, you'll find a judgment-free haven where you can break free from societal expectations. We're all about compassion, connection, and consent, guiding you to rediscover your strength and self-worth.

Fat and Body Affirming Studio

Having your boudoir photos taken can be a life-changing experience. It's a chance to shed external expectations, rediscover your authentic self, and fall in love with the person beyond physical appearance. After your session, you'll feel centred, deeply feel your worth, and have a newfound sense of your place in the world, independent of societal standards.

We see you for more than just a body, and our purpose is to empower you to reclaim your narrative and embrace your authentic self with pride—you truly deserve it!
