The Melbourne Portrait Studio

I've had great experience working with Jude. I was nervous because I am a camera shy and it was my first professional photo shoot that I needed for my business website. Jude made me very comfortable through out the whole process and also gave me confidence with few posing tricks that I will keep for life. Also the photos are amazing! Love, Galina.

After Melbourne's long lockdown last year, we were wanting something nice to treat ourselves, as well as to capture our recent baby arrival. We knew of Jude's work though her lockdown publication Together Apart"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Jude is THE best photographer, hands down bar none!!She is very professional, highly technically skilled and just really fantastic.She knows her profession inside and out, she understands her clients and has super creative artist ideas. Her photos are exquisite and outstanding and she is a real entrepreneur.I highly recommend her for any photos you want taken, don't look further than Jude. She is the best!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had the most amazing time! I was so nervous and I thought there wouldn't be any photos I would like. I have never been more wrong! I had 70 in my favourites list! 70! Jude encouraged and supported me through the whole process and made me feel confident and sexy. She allowed me to create beautiful art for my home. I will definelty be going back. For years I have just felt like a mum and had lost who i was. Thank you so much Jude, you reminded me who I am and who I will always be behind the title of Mum. I feel so beautiful.

I recently had a boudoir photo shoot done with Jude at The Melbourne Portrait Studio which was a wonderful luxurious empowering experience. There are many reasons for a woman wanting to do a boudoir photo shoot the celebration of womanhood is a personal, intimate and liberating experience and Jude is expert in capturing those fun, cheeky, sensual and classy poses that convey the essence of being a woman. Right from when I booked Jude was in touch with me discussing the kind of photos that I wanted and my expectations. So by the time I arrived for the actual shoot I felt that we already had a good understanding which elevated some of my nerves. Jude is very mindful of boundaries and so at no time did i ever feel uncomfortable and she let me be the driver of where I wanted the shoot to go. On arrival Mimma did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup the pampering makes you feel beautiful before you even start with the photos. The actual photo shoot was relaxed, Jude is open to suggestions because ultimately whilst she will guide, she wants you to feel empowered. The final result is a collection of photos which I am so proud of, Would I do it again? Absolutely in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Jude at The Melbourne Portrait Studio did a photoshoot with my staff and we all had a great experience! Jude is clearly an expert and isn't happy unless all photos are perfect. She regularly checks in, as she also wants you to be happy with them (during the shoot and in the touch up process). For us the most valuable thing was having Jude refine our positions to ensure the best angles for everyone, in a way that looked professional but also natural and relaxed. Highly recommend Jude for any portrait, family or business shots you may need.

Jude is amazing! She and her hair/makeup artist made made me look so good! Our photo shoot was so much fun and Jude was wonderful at putting me at ease. She is such an incredible professional and the results were fabulous. Thanks so much Jude!!!

Jude is very professional. She helped me feel comfortable when taking photos for my business. I had a selection of brand photography done by Jude. Her work has helped my business look professional and stand out. She took the time to listen to my needs and understand my business and was able to capture this in the photos taken. I am extremely happy with her work and would definitely use her again in the future.

We won a pet photo shoot with Jude at the Cat Lovers Show and didn't know what to expect as we had never done anything like that before. The studio is beautiful, full of light, a superb space. Jude is very warm and engaging and instantly makes you feel at ease. We had such a wonderful experience from our first pre-shoot contact, all the way through to picking up our final piece. Jude is an amazing artist who captured such beautiful pictures and worked with us to create a final piece that we truly love. We would not hesitate to return to Jude in the future.
