Appreciating your body NO MATTER what.
Documenting your beauty & growth even if you haven’t hit your milestone yet!

PORTRAIT ARTIST, AUTHOR, STUDIO OWNER, MUM
I am a full-time portrait photographer working from my studio in Altona, Melbourne’s west. I have over 15 years’ experience telling stories through photography, translating those experiences into gallery-style artwork, and have established my book imprint and art brand, Van Jude. I originate from The Netherlands, where I also had a thriving photography studio.
My favourite part of the day is spending time with my two beautiful boys, friends and snuggling with our super cute cats. The beach and smelling the salty air makes my heart sing.
To me, there is nothing more rewarding than making my clients feel as gorgeous as they really are. I look forward to capturing your unique story.

I am so impressed and ecstatic by this whole experience. Jude did a phenomenal job with not only the photos but the entire experience. Not only is she professional and detail-oriented but makes you feel very comfortable.
Mimma did a fabulous job with my hair and makeup, I was beyond happy with how I looked. With Jude’s guidance, I was able to let go. This was not only a gift to my hubby but also a gift to myself!
BEFORE & AFTER
Stunning transformations for everyday women
I know what you’re thinking- “These women are gorgeous. They’re probably models who walk down the runway every other weekend. They aren’t just the average everyday-women that you see at your local supermarket.”
Well, you’re actually half right/half wrong. These women ARE completely gorgeous. That’s a fact!
These strong women are your local mums, nurses, lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc; these are everyday women who decided to treat themselves to so much more than just a manicure or massage.
FAQ Boudoir Photoshoot
I want to book a shoot, but I am so nervous.
Everyone is nervous and that is totally fine. We are there for you and guiding you every step of the way. You will have a great time and when you see your gorgeous images, it will totally be worth it!
I have no idea how to pose. Will you tell me what to do?
What if I feel uncomfortable with my body?
Do your clients do their own hair and make-up?
What do I wear for my boudoir photoshoot?
Can I suggest ideas and bring props?
Yes of course! This is your unique beauty or boudoir session and you are more than welcome to send me anything that inspires you. Some clients like to create a Pinterest board with ideas that we can discuss beforehand. You can bring any items that are personal to you and will help tell your story and vision.
Do you have any other tips to prepare for my photoshoot?
What happens after my session?
As soon as we’ve finished your boudoir photoshoot, I’ll start preparing the reveal. In the meantime, you can go for lunch or a walk. About 60 minutes later, you’ll experience a fully guided cinematic presentation of your best portraits and together we will design an album or artwork that gives you confidence on a daily base.
My boudoir session with Jude was absolutely amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would! I recommend Jude to every woman who wants to feel sexy in their own skin no matter what your size and shape is.
I could go on and on about my review and experience but I think it’s just something that every woman should go out and do. Jude is amazing at what she does and I wasn’t nervous at all.
