Boudoir Photography with Cooper Studio

Craig Cooper Body Confidence, Boudoir, Nude Photography, portrait photographer, Women

Our style of boudoir photography uses unique lighting to sculpt your face and body, creating a delicate and moody interplay of light and shadow. We can tailor a boudoir shoot to evoke emotion, be cool or sophisticated. It might involve your favourite fashion clothing and accessories, or might be a series of nudes or semi-nudes to celebrate your body.

Would you love something like this, but feel a bit shy? Relax. Our studio has private facilities – from change room, to studio, to cinema – so you can have your entire experience in complete privacy. We also have both female and male photographers.

As always a Cooper Studio shoot begins with a chat, where we’ll try to get to understand you and the things you love. We also have a wide range of contemporary photographic presentation styles to compliment your favourite images from the shoot. This includes canvases, acrylics and our popular image boxes.

When you book a boudoir photography with Cooper Studio, you’ll have the option of also booking hair and makeup for a small additional fee.

With hair and makeup the entire experience will go for four to four and a half hours.

In the first hour our hair and makeup artist will work her magic, and then the shoot itself starts!

The photo shoot typically takes from sixty to ninety minutes, and we’ll have time to try at least a couple of different studio backgrounds and lighting combinations.

We recommend you bring at least two to three lingerie sets with you for your shoot, and don’t forget you can also bring accessories, such as hats, fascinators, shoes and jewellery.

After the shoot, we’ll have a break for around thirty minutes, while your photographer does an initial edit of your photos and chooses just the best quarter – usually around fifty images – to show you.

Then you’ll get to see the best images from your shoot in our home theatre (larger than life!) and choose the images you wish to order from the shoot.

Newborn Photography

Craig Cooper Advice, Baby Photography, Nude Photography, portrait photographer

The first few days and weeks after a baby is born can be a heady, dreamlike experience for their parents, combining euphoria with sleep deprivation! This is a very important time of life to record as your baby is changing daily and it pays to use a professional photographer in our South Fremantle studio.

Newborns usually have a fairly regular three or four hour cycle of sleeping, playing and feeding, and your shoot can potentially take advantage of one or all of these parts of the cycle – don’t worry if your newborn is hungry or tired when he arrives at our studio, we are experienced newborn photographers!

We have taken beautiful photographs of newborns being fed – either from bottle or breast – this is a moment of unparalleled intimacy and can lead to incredible images. Likewise, there are few things more wonderful than a sleeping newborn, as any new parent can attest!

An important decision for parents to make is whether they wish to have skin shots – photographs where one or both parents appear to be fully or partly topless, so that there is direct skin contact with baby. At Cooper Studio we really love the intimacy of shots like these, but also understand that not everyone will want them. We’ll discuss this with you before the shoot and respect your wishes, of course.

We also understand that at this stage of life it can be quite a task just to get out of the house. Our Fremantle studio is equipped for comfort, including air conditioning, private areas, microwave and change mat!  You have  the option to view your photos almost straight away, so that only one trip to the studio is needed, rather than two.
