International Women’s Day is a moment to celebrate the strength, beauty, resilience, and power of women everywhere. It’s a day that recognizes achievements, encourages confidence, and reminds us that every woman deserves to feel valued and empowered. At Gloss Boudoir, this belief is at the heart of everything we do. As a female run studio with more than a decade of experience and thousands of incredible clients photographed, we have built our entire business around one powerful idea: every woman, of every age, shape, and stage of life, deserves to feel sexy, beautiful, and confident.
Boudoir photography is often misunderstood as something reserved for a certain type of person. At Gloss Boudoir, we know that couldn’t be further from the truth. Our clients are mothers, entrepreneurs, students, brides, professionals, and women rediscovering themselves after life’s many changes. They come from all walks of life, and they all share one thing in common: the desire to see themselves in a new light. A boudoir session isn’t just about photos, it’s about transformation, confidence, and self-celebration.
International Women's Day
Our studio is a welcoming, feminine space staffed by an incredible team of women who truly love what they do. From the moment you walk through the door, our goal is to make you feel comfortable, supported, and excited about the experience ahead. For many women, booking a boudoir session can feel a little intimidating at first. But the moment the laughter starts, the music plays, and the cameras begin to click, something magical happens. Walls come down, confidence grows, and women start to see themselves the way the world already sees them: powerful and beautiful.
Gloss Boudoir is proudly owned and operated by Kelly Trerise, whose passion for beauty and women’s empowerment has shaped the studio into what it is today. Kelly spent over two decades as a professional makeup artist working in television, film, fashion, and magazine industries. Her career allowed her to collaborate with creative professionals from around the world, but it was 11 years ago that she discovered her true passion for boudoir photography.
World renowned for her creative and artistic ventures, Kelly’s entrepreneurial spirit truly flourished when she launched Gloss Boudoir. She believes wholeheartedly that every woman should try a boudoir shoot at least once in her life, or even better, ten times! For Kelly, boudoir photography is about unlocking the confidence, sexiness, and inner power that every woman already possesses. Sometimes all it takes is the right environment, the right team, and a little encouragement to bring it to the surface.
Behind the camera is our talented photographer, Marcee, whose love for photography began early in life. Picking up a camera felt like a natural path, eventually turning into a career that she has dedicated herself to for years. Over a decade ago, her passion for portrait photography evolved into a true obsession: helping women feel amazing, confident, and beautiful through boudoir photography.
There is never a dull moment in front of Marcee’s lens. She has a unique ability to put women at ease and gently guide them outside of their comfort zones in the most empowering way. Her sessions are filled with laughter, encouragement, and unforgettable moments. Marcee has a special talent for capturing the beauty and personality of every client, and she’s also famously known for taking an incredible photo of your bum! By the end of a session, clients often leave not just with stunning images, but with a renewed sense of confidence.
Before the camera ever comes out, however, the transformation begins in the makeup chair with our incredible artist, Kelsey Dickson. With more than 20 years of experience, Kelsey is a sought-after luxury makeup artist who truly understands the art of beauty. She knows exactly how to enhance each client’s natural features while creating the perfect boudoir look.
Whether you’re envisioning soft and natural glam, a bold smokey eye, or something perfectly in between, Kelsey brings both skill and creativity to every session. Hair and makeup are one of the most important parts of the boudoir experience, not just because of how it looks on camera, but because of how it makes you feel. During this hour of glam, you’ll have time to relax, chat with the team, and settle into the excitement of the day. By the time you leave the chair, we promise you’ll look—and feel—like a million bucks.
What makes Gloss Boudoir truly special is the community of women who have trusted us with their stories over the past decade. Every client who walks through our doors brings a unique journey, and it’s an honour to capture those moments of confidence and transformation. Some women come to celebrate milestones, others come to rediscover themselves, and many simply come because they deserve to feel amazing.
This International Women’s Day, we celebrate all women, your strength, your individuality, and your beauty exactly as you are. Boudoir photography is more than a photoshoot. It’s an experience that reminds you that confidence isn’t something you have to earn or change yourself to deserve. It already belongs to you.
At Gloss Boudoir, we’re simply here to help you see it.
