I’m Lauren Potter and I am in the business of celebrating women and inspiring confidence. I work with the women who are ready for a journey of self discovery. Every piece of this experience I’ve worked to create, is designed for those that want to truly explore their femininity, without the presence of shame.
I’ve also intentionally left space for you to take what you need from this experience. Whether you are celebrating a milestone, trying to overcome trauma, looking to shift your perspective, learning to love yourself more...there is a place for you here.
I want to work with those of you that are beginning to realise that there is more out there for you than you were settling for. The main aim is to help those of you that are tired of the narrative you’ve been believing about yourself, and are ready to break down those lies.
Boudoir can be fun, sexy, and exhilarating...
...but it can also be healing

The Confident & Co Experience
The Confident & Co by Lollie Claire Photography Experience, is not your regular boudoir photoshoot. We are all about celebrating modern women and giving them the experience of a lifetime to reflect upon in years to come.
I only book a MAXIMUM of 6 clients per month to ensure the highest level of service and give my clients the attention they deserve
2. HOW IT WORKS
1 - Once you have read this guide and decided a boudoir session is right for you. Click the I’m Ready To Book From here we will send you a booking link to finalise everything including filling out a fun questionnaire to tell us all about yourself, so that we can tailor the shoot specifically to you.
2 - Leading up to the session you will receive a series of emails from us helping to prepare you for your session. These cover everything from what to wear > how to financially prepare.
3 - On the day of your session, you will be welcomed into the studio with a hug. We will discuss the vision for your session, review and finalise your outfits.
4 - During your shoot, I will guide you every step of the way. I have photographed hundreds of women, and specialise in knowing exactly how to pose all different body shapes so that you’ll look breathtaking in your images.
5 - Right after your shoot we will go through all your images together. This is when we will finalise your image order and design your wall art or album
3. I’m Nervous
This is completely normal babe!!!
We hear these words from EVERY. SINGLE. CLIENT
You are not the only one who is unsure of what to expect of a boudoir shoot. The majority of the clients you see on our website and socials have never done a boudoir session before and all of them said the same thing: They’re nervous, un-photogenic or feel awkward.
We promise that will not happen here! You’ll be in awe of your photos and won’t believe how incredible you look.
Boudoir is our life! You are in great hands. Our objective is to make you feel 100% comfortable as soon as you walk in the studio door.
4. Hair & Makeup
We believe that every woman deserves to look and feel their absolute best.
While we don't offer in-house makeup services, we take pride in connecting you with a handpicked network of fabulous makeup artists throughout Wollongong. These talented professionals are ready to work their magic and create the perfect look for your boudoir photo shoot.

5. THE SHOOT
You will be coached through every singe pose during your session. As a boudoir Photographer it is my job to make sure you are not worrying about posing and facial expressions - Leave all that to me!
Every shoot starts off with simple poses and you will be coached through exactly where to look, how to smile and what to do with your hands and feet. I’ll be super clear and give you direction on exactly what you need to do, giving you all the confidence. I’ll even demonstrate the pose myself if you are having any trouble nailing it.
If you are uncomfortable with any poses at all, we just skip to the next pose. It is no biggie. Boudoir sessions are a judgment free zone! You are encouraged to leave any body negativity at the door - embrace who you are and the body you have been blessed with (flaws and all)
I have been a photographer for 15 years, and posing is my jam! I will make sure you are posed in the most flattering positions for your body and for the lighting. A few things you might hear me say during the shoot are: “Bring your chin forward and down, relax your shoulders and pull up nice and tall in your posture. Arch your back and point your toes like a ballerina” It is super simple and you do not need to do anything to prepare for this.
6. TRANSFORMATIONS
THE WOMEN IN THE IMAGES I SHARE ARE NOT MODELS
These are everyday women like you and I that trusted me to capture their inner and outer beauty. The Confident & Co by Lollie Claire Photography Experience is more then a visual transformation. It’s about looking like the best version of your self while FEELING like a model in all the best ways possible.
It is more about the internal transformation through building confidence. It’s about embracing your authentic beauty and let’s be honest looking bad ass while doing it. - That is my speciality
