Hi! We are Celebration Boudoir
Celebration Boudoir is comprised of the photographers Gregory Bourne and Jacqui Watts-Drayton, who work with stylists and technicians to serve our clients and create world class art.
We are casual and artistic and aim to provide a happy, comfortable environment so you can relax and let the real you shine.
We are based in the Shoalhaven on the South Coast of NSW, Australia, but we take these photo shoots around Australia and the world so as many people as possible have the opportunity to be celebrated .
Our style is completely eclectic, because it is up to you. You are the boss. We work with you to create a vision of what you want and then deliver it to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
where will this happen?
We typically rent a villa, usually an Airbnb, in your town or region and move in and set up lights, props and unpack outfits to run through the photo shoot there. This is usually a multi-room shoot with the look and styles changing all the time so you end up with a portfolio with great variety. We usually only offer 4 photo shoots over a weekend so there is no rush and quality and creativity can flow.
We are based in the Shoalhaven on the NSW South Coast, so we are often in the Illawarra, Goulburn, the Southern Highlands, Canberra and the South Coast, but if you want us we can travel to you all over Australia, even the Outback. We want to give everyone the chance to do this.
Do I have to bare all?
Before the photo shoot you complete a questionnaire where you tell us what you would like to aim for in your photo shoot.
There are no shots we always do, and there is nothing you have to do for us. You decide how much skin you reveal, and our aim is to provide a peaceful, happy, relaxed and comfortable environment so you can enter what we call The Zone. This is where the client feels so comfortable and gorgeous they lower the masks and really shine. You are the queen in this scene, and we will follow your lead.
We are flexible. Whatever you want is what we aim to deliver.
Our aim is to present you with a portfolio of images that is a true and beautiful representation of your body and sexuality and fantasy life, or as much of it as you are comfortable to reveal.
What Happens to the photos?
After the photo shoot the best images are edited and sent to you, usually via a site called Dropbox, where you download them from your personal folder. They are yours to use as you wish. We don't put business watermarks on them or put any ownership or permissions on them.
If there is an image we would like to use in our galleries then that only happens with a signed release from you, but we will never embarrass our clients and reveal anything they want hidden.
We can also help you with printing, canvases or phone app galleries if you would like them.
Who will be at the photo shoot?
Greg and Jacqui will be on set the whole time, and sometimes other specialist hair and makeup technicians might also be there, like Bee in Canberra.
The crew is small and private, but you are never alone. There will always be a female on set to act as your sister, stylist, helper and friend.
We will look after you. The photo shoot only works if you are comfortable. It shows in the photos.
do you offer Payment plans?
We certainly do. We know from experience that our goddesses often put themselves last in the family budget, so we try to make this a smooth possibility for everyone. Automatic payments as low and slow as 50 a fortnight can be arranged, and full payments are also welcome.
I don't own any lingerie
We have cases of outfits in every size. You don't need to bring anything, but your favourites are very welcome.
Do you cater for plus size models?
We believe every body should be celebrated, and we have many outfits, props, poses, lighting and editing tricks to make everyone look amazing. We have vast experience with every body shape and everything we do is about acceptance and self love.
do you offer hair and makeup?
Yes. You can add a Hair and Makeup Session to your photo shoot with us.
Can I do my own hair and makeup?
Certainly. If you do please talk to us about it. Too much foundation or concealer can look powdery under the lights, and we want you to avoid having an orange face and a stark white body. Some eye shadow work will look great in a dark and neon lit room, but will look odd in a bubble bath. Some hair products will make your hair look stiff and rigid when you want a casual morning scrunchable look.
I am not a model
We will walk you through posing and facial expressions and get you used to the camera. We don't expect you to know anything.
It is very important to us that you be happy and comfortable, because that is when you will begin to shine, lower your protective layers and truly shine.
It shows in the photos when it happens.
How much experience do you have?
Greg has over 20 years experience and Jacqui has been doing this for 4 years and has years of experience as a model, hair and makeup technician and now photographer. We have vast experience with every body shape and size. We are caring and funny and casual. We love what we do and are delighted when a client gets to love and accept themselves in a new light.
Do you do onlyfans and online content?
You are the boss. You tell us what you want and we will aim to deliver it. You will complete questionnaires where you can spell out what you are after, and we also encourage the sharing of example images you find to create a vision board so we see the shoot through your eyes.
We are all about acceptance. Content makers, sex workers and those feeding their subscriptions are welcome.
Who should not use celebration boudoir?
We create the best images when the photo set is calm, happy and personable. We like to chat and be real. We like to take time. Weird vibes ruin creativity.
Those who can't manage to be civil shouldn't apply. Dominating, possessive and controlling partners are not welcome. They prevent the model from reacting to the camera and there insecurity ruins the photo shoot.
If you want art and quality, come to us.
