Wedding photographer, Carissa, from Elk & Fir was drawn to photograph women in such a way that is intimate, romantic, and sometimes even erotic. boudoir shoots are not only an incredibly empowering experience for the subject, but the finished product makes a divine gift for your bride or groom to be!
What is a Boudoir Shoot?
You’ll be invited to a comfortable, private setting in a hotel, where you’ll be pampered with a hair and makeup session before your shoot. Carissa’s style is fresh and elegant, true to the boudoir style, which aims to be suggestive, rather than explicit.
Sunshine Coast Only Launch Special
Carissa has been photographing boudoir shoots for quite some time now, but as this will be her first on the Sunshine Coast, she has extended a special offer for the first shoot date, August 31. Your boudoir photo session will be at a special rate of $175* (normally $250).

Bride, Kirra (pictured), wanted to give her new hubby a unique and thrilling gift for their wedding. Here she shares her experience having a Bridal Boudoir photo shoot with photographer, Carissa Cross, from Elk & Fir.
No I’ve never done anything like this before and I had no idea what the experience was going to be like. But I had the idea of what sort of gift I wanted to give my fiancé, and I wanted it to be unique and lasting.
Carissa was the best part of the experience. In our pre meeting, she was able to show me props, robes and clothing ideas, and options that suited what I wanted. I left the face-to-face meeting with a feeling of confidence in what the experience was going to be like, and I knew exactly what I needed to do to prepare. She gave me an abundance of boudoir guidance, including her Elk and Fir Boudoir Prep Guide (magazine) with all the ‘need to know’.
I remember feeling nervous as the day approached, but as soon as I was in the room, it was quite comfortable. From the hair and make up to the actual photo shoot, everything felt relaxed and, best of all, I really felt so beautiful! At no stage was I uncomfortable or rushed. I still can’t pick my favourite photos.
It was a huge surprise! He had been trying to guess what his gift was for months before I got the photos and the book back, and his reaction was priceless. He had not ever received a gift like it before and he was speechless! I am really glad that it’ll be something that he will be able to enjoy over and over again for years to come.
