Le Chat Noir Boudoir Photography Melbourne

Wow wow wow, I want to go back and do that again!Ladies, let me tell you about this experience because it was so much fun, super professional, and if you are even thinking about a boudoir shoot - this is the photographer to do it with.It was compliments and positive energy from the second I saw Alessio, which is such a mood-booster; he is warm, kind and such a happy presence. This is a person who has found their purpose in life and that is to help women see how beautiful they are; he has a gift and I was lucky enough to receive it.The studio is intimate and so pretty, but comfortable and inviting. Ale and his makeup artist (I had the lovely Nathalie) honestly just shower you in compliments while you get hair and makeup done, so get used to that! Nathalie was so skilled and I love that she didn't cover up my face, and instead just enhanced my features.Now, onto the shoot. Honestly, I was super nervous in the days leading up to it, but that all disappeared once I got changed. At no point did I feel embarrassed or silly or awkward. You're in such good hands with Ale; he is so helpful with instructions, poses and facial expressions, you will actually feel like a professional model. He also provided gowns to cover up with and made sure everything was comfortable.And the photos - OMG. I have pretty bad body image issues and can honestly say I looked incredible in these pics - words I never thought I would say about myself. You will see yourself in a new light and will obsess over how good these pics are. I was even brave enough at the end to ask for a few extra pics with my favourite poses, which Ale was so happy to oblige.If you're thinking about a boudoir shoot, but are hesitant - do it. Book him in literally right now because I truly don't think you will find a photographer more talented, passionate or gentle than Alessio. Every picture I was shown was amazing and I actually felt like a model. Now I just need a reason to book in more shoots with him! Coming from someone who is so, so, *so* self-conscious, this experience was so beneficial and I could cry (in a good way!) at these pictures. I wish I could share them all with you haha. Thank you Alessio and his team, this could not have gone any better!

Alessio is outstanding!The entire experience was incredibly enjoyable and the results… OH. MY. GOD.I have never felt so comfortable in my own body! 100% recommend for anyone and everyone!

My boudoir photography shoot experience was incredible and I cannot begin to describe how beautiful and empowered I've felt since. Alessio is incredibly professional and talented in his craft - I was left with my jaw on the floor when I saw the raw images at the end of my shoot. If you are on the fence about a boudoir shoot and are looking for a sign to just go for it... this is it! You will not regret it.

My photoshoot with Alessio was an absolutely amazing experience! Alessio made me feel so comfortable straight away and this experience has made me feel so body positive. It has given me a sense of strength in myself and boosted my self esteem so much that I am so grateful. I now want all those around me to have this experience so they can feel the sense of empowerment it gives you. Thank you Alessio for your professionalism and making this experience so much fun, you do amazing work!!

An amazing experience every woman should experience. Ale is very professional, fun and extremely talented at what he does. I felt safe and comfortable and was blown away by the photos. His make up/hair artist is also amazing at what she does. Both made me feel very welcome and I felt at ease the moment I meet both of them. Highly recommended, you wont regret it..

I booked in with Ale because I had heard such good things about him and the experience, but it was so much better than I ever imagined. I think every woman should have this experience , words do not do it justice!From the moment I walked in, Ale was professional, respectful, and caring, and he has created a space filled with the most gentle, positive, nurturing energy. I was very nervous as I had really bad body image but today I fell head over heels in love with my body and myself.Alessio is an artist, with an eye for the beautiful souls as well as the incredible bodies that he portrays. His enthusiasm was infectious, I felt so safe and respected and enjoyed every moment of the experience.Today was a day I shall never forget, the experience was beautiful, I had an epiphany and just fell so in love with me. So empowering, uplifting, and emotional. I walked out feeling my beautiful, sensual, fierce, strong femininity, I found my power.Thanks Ale for making this possible, you are a true artist, your photography is better than anything I have ever seen, and you created the perfect safe, warm sweet space for this to happen.

I was keen to do a boudoir shoot for a while and had been searching through various photographers. I picked Alessio because of I loved his seductive and suggestige style of photography. It was very much how I wanted to see myself in photos and Alessio's photos were far more aesthetic than others. I booked to do my boudoir shoot back in October 2022 for March 2023. Alessio was very accommodating to my schedule to book me that far in advanced and check in with me closer to the date. In October we had a chat over the phone to get an idea of what would happen and my goals of the shoot. I have never done a photo shoot before and am extremely camera shy! The best thing about the experience with Alessio is has an amazing eye for framing photos and making angles work well for you. If an arm is slightly out of alignment, finger lifted too high, he will tell you how to adjust it to make the photo turn out well instead of letting it be. I am a huge fan of his attention to detail. Alessio also demonstrates how to pose and then talks you through it when you're doing it yourself which was very much needed for this first ever shoot! I loved that he showed me some shots along the way, as it really helped with my confidence throughout the shoot. I was blown away with how great the photos turned out. Even today, I'm still slowly releasing photos to my partner. One day some show up in bed, some in the mail box, some on the kitchen counter. The pictures are definitely lasting us a long time! I have prepurchased a couple photoshoot with Alessio and cannot wait to see how those will turn out too!

The photoshoot experience I had was absolutely incredible.I never though that a boudoir photoshoot would be something I would be brave enough to do and to be honest I can't thank Alessio enough to guide me though the whole process with understanding and respect.He really helps you though the process before, during and after the photoshoot. The emails are so helpful and he took the time to answer any of my questions and he really tailored that experience to me.He was absolutely amazing and my makeup and hair artist was incredible and made me feel like a Queen. The experience was just incredible, the attention to details and the decors are well thought of and very french, the vibe of the studio is amazing and Alessio knows how to capture the moment and make you feel comfortable. I felt as I was in the studio with an old friend at home and didn't feel anxious or uncomfortable at any point.He is an incredible artist and his goal to empower women and make them feel beautiful was definitely achieved with me. When I saw the photos he capture of me I couldn't believe my eyes and I never though I would love photos taken of myself but yet I did and they were more than what I was expecting.I've never felt so woman confident, empowered & sexy and It's an amazing experience that any woman should experience.I can't thank Alessio enough, thank you for being so genuine and caring and for whole the work you do to help all people that are in need of it ❤️I've never felt so amazing and myself so if you doubting yourself it's your sign to go ahead now!

I decided to gift myself a boudoir photoshoot for my 40th birthday. After researching a number of photographers I decided to go with Alessio and I’m so glad I did!! From the minute I walked in the door Alessio and his hair and makeup artist David made me feel completely at home and comfortable. Alessio is such a warm person and you can tell he really loves his job and wants to make people feel good. As a plus size woman it was important to me find someone who would help me look my best while still looking like me - Alessio captured exactly what I wanted. He gave me lots of encouragement and hyped me up along the way which made me feel great. He is also super respectful, always making sure I was comfortable and asking before adjusting any clothing etc. I have had the best day and can’t stop looking at my photos!! Thanks so much Alessio!
