My first shoot was a moment that I fell into, by accident - though now I know, it was destiny.

It was one of those deja vu moments when the stars aligned! Someone close to me, asked me if I would consider doing a boudoir shoot for them. And at the time, I didn't know much about boudoir - nor why she felt she needed something like this for herself.

Boy was I about to be educated! I went into this shoot, with only my photographic skills, my happy, bubbly personality and my ability to be empathetic, sensitive and encouraging.

The shoot was sooooo much fun!!!! When she saw her photos for the first time, she was overcome with emotion. My heart nearly shattered. Oh no! Had I let her down? When I asked her if I had done something wrong, she cried and said "Oh no! He lied to me! He told me I was ugly, fat, disgusting - that I was worthless - but I'm not Nik. Look at me! I'm beautiful. I am special!!" YESSSS!!! YES YOU ARE DARLING!

The walls around her shattered and it looked like, she had finally seen her truth. She was confident, happy & so much lighter! It was like her rebirth .... and I instantly understood the transformative impact, a session like this could have. 

I knew then, I had found my life's purpose. I wanted to provide this service & pray that it had the same power for every one that walked through my door!! Yes!! I was born for this!

I am relentless in crafting an experience that will make you feel special, empowered, joyful, brave and confident. 

You are in safe hands, I won't let you down.

why did you start photographing boudoir & couples?!

Before & After!

I know what you're thinking - "These women are gorgeous. They're probably models who walk down the runway every other weekend. They aren't just your average everyday-women that you see at your local supermarket."

Well, you're actually half right/half wrong! These women ARE completely gorgeous, that's a fact!

BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE WRONG?

Appreciating your body no matter what!

Documenting your beauty & personal growth

Feeling empowered

Healing from the outside-in and the inside-out

Wellness in mind, body & spirit

Choosing to celebrate yourself!

It's ok to live a little, splurge a little and feel drop dead gorgeous every once in a while!


These strong women are you local school mums, nurses, teachers, shop owners, lawyers - the list goes on! These are everyday women who decided to treat themselves to so much more than a manicure or a makeover. They invested in themselves!

BUT THESE ARE 100% EVERYDAY WOMEN. THESE ARE WIVES, MOTHERS, GRANDMOTHERS & SO MUCH MORE!

A "Luxury Boudoir Experience" with WILD HEART PHOTOGRAPHY HERVEY BAY is a step towards:

Ready? Let's do this!

BOMBSHELL TRANSFORMATIONS!

"I CAN'T DO THAT!!!" 
EVERY ONE BEFORE YOU HAS SAID THE SAME THING .... AND DONE IT ANYWAY!!!

Our inspirational Miss T, shares her experience of her Boudoir Bombshell session, from start to finish! She lets us know how her session made her feel, how she was treated, what this did for her confidence and the positive impacts it has had on her life!!! Take a listen!

STUNNING HANDBOUND LEATHER ALBUMS, WALL ART,
DIGITAL FILES & MORE! 


From as far back as I can remember I was also referred to as the "fat girl” or the “chubby friend" all the way through primary school and high school and into well into adulthood. My 3 children and family would always remind me I was beautiful inside and out but the taunts from the kids at school always stuck in my mind. Weather it be when trying to enjoy a swim with my children or wear something that wasn't "size appropriate". It was always "lights off ONLY" for adult time, my self esteem was completely gone. 
 
In 2015 I met my now husband and for years it was the same story, "lights off" *eye rolls* everyday when he told me how beautiful I was. Obviously I never saw what he saw . Where he saw beauty, I saw cellulite, jiggly bits and stretch marks. Then in 2019 he gave me a magical proposal on the skywalk at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore and I knew then my gift to him had to be something special. 
 
I set about finding a boudoir photographer who would do a bridal boudoir shoot of me for him. I found Nic, the beauty behind the lense of Wild hearts. Well I walked into her studio like a scared teenager walking into my first day at high school. Within moments I was getting my gear off LIGHTS ON!! I felt so comfortable. I knew my cellulite, stretch marks and jiggly bits where still there. But in those moments, for the first time that I could ever remember I DIDN'T CARE.
I felt confident I felt beautiful and this was all Nik. Her guidance, humour and just her amazing Aura that radiated around her made me relaxed and confident in just being me. I left with more confidence then ever before and since that day. I have worn what I want "size appropriate " or not, and even left the lights on ;) and been a better happier version of ME. So happy in fact I dragged hubby a few months later, to join me in a couple boudoir to showcase our love. That day Nik was able to capture the love of 2 people who are both perfectly imperfect.
 I still feel so empowered as a women to be me, and no longer do I look in the mirror and see "the fat girl" I see a wife, sister ,mother and a daughter who loves every bit of herself and who is now able to be a positively role model to my Boys that women are not defined by their dress size.  And I am so grateful to Nik and her wild heart for silencing all those little voices within me.
