Art, both performance and physical, have always been a passion of mine.
During my high school years, I found passion in the world of drama, where I immersed myself in various creative roles such as dancing, acting, costume design, set painting, and stage makeup. These experiences continue to inspire my work in set design and photography to this day.
After graduating high school in 2014, I took a year to explore different opportunities, leading me to discover pin-up modelling modeling and my love for creative makeup artistry.
In the fall of 2015, at the age of 19, I established 'Tenille R Makeup Artistry' while pursuing a degree in Art and Design. It became my addiction and my obsession. Even amidst my college studies, I eagerly provided makeup services on photo sets and catered to a growing clientele, particularly during wedding seasons. Over time, my focus shifted towards photography, culminating in the completion of a Bachelor's degree in Visual Communications in 2018, specializing in graphic design, web development, and photography.
My dedication to my craft has always been unwavering. I am driven by a deep-seated desire to capture the inherent beauty of individuals and immortalize meaningful moments through my lens. Embracing the diverse expressions of the human form, I strive to create personalized experiences that resonate with each client.
My clientele is wonderfully diverse, ranging from experienced models and dancers to individuals embarking on their first photographic journey. It is both humbling and gratifying to be entrusted with their stories.
Beyond my professional endeavours, I find fulfillment in a variety of creative pursuits, including costume making, pole dancing, and nurturing my vintage apartment. Additionally, I work as a dancer 3-5 nights a week.
In essence, my work is fueled by a genuine passion for creativity and connection.
Here are some of the things that inspire me:
-
Crafting and sewing costumes
-
Exploring the artistry of burlesque, strip, and pole dancing
-
Starting my day with a warm cup of coffee or tea
-
Enjoying the fabulousness of RuPaul's Drag Race
-
Appreciating the elegance of ballet and the expression of dance
-
Immersing myself in the world of painting and art history
-
Bringing ideas to life through web and graphic design

What to expect | A Bespoke Experience
My approach to editing and posing emphasizes authenticity. While I enhance skin tone through retouching, I preserve your natural body shape without any alterations. My focus is on refining lighting and overall photo composition, ensuring a true representation of your essence.
From poses to settings, each session is meticulously tailored to your preferences. My studio offers a versatile backdrop, ranging from minimalist to vibrant, to curate the ideal boudoir experience for you.
I believe in clear and straightforward communication. My instructions are conveyed in simple language, ensuring clarity and ease of execution. I demonstrate poses while providing clear explanations, ensuring seamless collaboration. Your input, gathered through my booking questionnaire, guides my selection of poses and sets, ensuring a tailored, personalized boudoir session. Any ideas you have are encouraged!

You are welcome. You are safe.
Over the past 9+ years, I've specialized in boudoir photography, creating a comfortable, empowering experience for clients of all backgrounds. My bespoke sessions respect individual boundaries and preferences, ensuring every client feels safe and celebrated.
My diverse clientele includes everyone from seasoned models to first-timers, and I’m experienced in posing and working with all body types. At Studio NOVA, everyone is treated equally, with adjustments for personal requests. My portfolio reflects my commitment to inclusivity, showcasing a wide variety of people and stories.
Before your session, you’ll receive a comprehensive guide covering everything from outfit ideas to what to expect. Whether you’re exploring your sexuality, gender, or identity, this is a safe, judgment-free space tailored to celebrate the authentic you.
Safety and privacy are top priorities:
-
Private changing areas are always available.
-
Booking forms clearly define your preferences (e.g., nudity, style).
-
All images remain private unless you explicitly approve sharing.
As both a photographer and model, I understand how to create a safe, enjoyable atmosphere, making every session a respectful and empowering experience.
Before you book
Contact me to book your date, pay your deposit and secure your spot! You will then receive an email with all of the details you should need, and link to my PDF boudoir guide. This will go over styling, preparing for your session, and anything you should bring!
A DEPOSIT OF $150 IS REQUIRED TO BOOK
A deposit is a non-refundable fee, paid towards your session total.
This payment confirms your booked time slot will be held for you, and will no longer be open for another booking. Deposits must be paid on this booking form in order to confirm a booking.
RESCHEDULING/CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancellation or rescheduling of a session results in the forfeiture of the $150 deposit, GST and processing fees, which are non-refundable. Deposits do not carry over to rescheduled dates. Clients seeking to reschedule 30 or more days prior to their session are subject to a $50+GST fee. Rescheduling with under 30 days until your session necessitates a $150+GST deposit to book a new date. Other payments made towards your session will be kept as credit towards your new session date.
LATE ARRIVAL POLICY
Clients are urged to adhere to scheduled session times, as delays may impact subsequent appointments. If you are more than 15 minutes late for you appointment, a new appointment will need to be scheduled, with a new $150+GST deposit. Other payments made towards your session will be kept as credit towards your new session date.
PAYMENT PLAN
Pay your session off as you can! Once you book with a deposit, the remainder of your total can be spread out over payment dates that YOU select! Sessions must be paid off by session date.
Timeline & Delivery
You can expect a proof gallery usually within1 week following your session.
A proof gallery is a lightly touched-up sample gallery of your images before they've gone through the editing process. This gallery is sent to your email address.
From there, select your images to be fully edited using the 'heart' icon. You may select images to be fully edited. If you select too many, they can easily be un- favourited, or you may purchase additional images. Once you've reviewed images, tell me if I can share them online, or if you'd like them to be private by filling out an attached form.
Final images are sent to you within 14 days of finalizing your images. Access the gallery, then use the included case-sensitive password and 4-digit PIN to download photos directly to your computer or device.
