About Private Photographer™
Yes, we definitely do great, beautiful wedding photography and lifestyle photography - even creatively and artistic if you like. Our first wedding shoot happened in 2001, and I still look at those pics! We love people and capturing emotion - writing photographic memoirs!

But, how often do you get the chance to get professional boudoir photos taken of yourself by a highly experienced professional award-winning photographer and visual artist with a passion for the human form?

Fine Art Boudoir Portraiture will remind you just how beautiful you actually are. Most of my clients do their session for themselves first, and sometimes as a gift to someone special second.

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. Jung's work has been influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology, and religious studies.

He said:
“I should advise you to put it all down as beautifully as you can – in some beautifully bound book.
It will seem as if you were making the visions banal — but then you need to do that.
Then when these things are in some precious book you can go to the book & turn over the pages and for you it will be …. the silent places of your spirit where you will find renewal.
If anyone tells you that it is morbid or neurotic and you listen to them —
then you will lose your soul — for in that book is your soul.”
Carl Gustav Jung

If you are busy planning a special day or occasion, or should you wish to engage in a body-positive, value-adding experience of capturing your authentic self, please email us to book a shoot, or to start with any questions. Different genres with quality outcomes are guaranteed.
Mission
Let us help you change the way you see yourself by showing you what we see when we look at you - you cannot see yourself in this way. You do not know what your partner or others see when they look at you. After your photo shoot, you can expect images for yourself consistent with what we show. You decide the genre and location. We assist with what works best and take you on a value-adding journey. Yes, you may think, I have never done this before; I am not beautiful, I am not sure if this is for me... And, the fact is, based on our statistics over many years, that each and every person, or couple, who engaged in the step of revisiting their 'selves' inside, have simply been 'awarded' with the outcome of feeling liberated, feeling that they completed a challenge they put to themselves. That they did something they always wanted to do, but did not know where and how. Not one has felt regret for the step they took to do their photoshoot(s). People do not pose nude to get sexual - being sexual has absolutely nothing to do with the journey. It is also not only broken or depressed people who do photoshoots of themselves in the nude. It is normal people. People who know the value of striving to self acceptance in all facets of beingness, of being happy with who they are, or reminding themselves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That society conditions us that a slim figure is beauty and that any other body type is to be judged, is what causes insecurities. An interesting fact: Our nude photoshoots, whether fine art, boudoir, artistic, or simply in nature, have ranged in the age group of mostly between 48 to 61! Nobody looks his or her perfect self as they did so many years ago. We were virtually booked for a couple shoot of a couple where both people are in their eighties! Unfortunately, the elderly lady fell sick and the couple were forced to move to a place nearer family support systems. These models, as we refer to our clients, walk proud and with increased self
Description
Why Shoot with award-winning
Private Photographer Midge?

All photographers practice technical ability and forever search for the best composition or frame in every image created. I am no different and have had cameras for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a passion for finding the detail in almost everything I lay my eyes on, photographic memoirs evolved into the reality of the smaller things in life.

Whilst I have a huge background in the genres I have engaged in, the passion for people, their beingness and capturing of the inner self has become an integral part of my approach. Free spirits are typically artistic and creative beings.

After over three decades and hundreds of thousands of images created, mediocre photos are not always exciting. It is for this reason one makes a decision to engage in one's passion with utmost commitment to quality, the industry and clients.

Consider that you should not be concerned with your photographer once the order has been given - it is the responsibility of a professional photographer to take care of things hassle-free to the clients.

Who would I award my wedding or boudoir photography project to? Me! I know me, I know my will to perform and achieve, and I probably love your images more than you do!
