My Expectations were exceeded!
I am still living my experience as my pictures start to surface after the incredible day we had taking them. I'm quite overwhelmed at how my expectations were exceeded .... at how relaxed I was through the whole experience... and at how much faith and trust I felt I could reliably place in Dean and Karen.
At 51 years this was a personal great moment for me.... I felt incredible and I have superb artistic photos that I will treasure. I'm a happy girl!

It didn't matter what size I was. I was made to feel beautiful and amazing.
Body image is something that I had struggled with but it didn't matter what size I was. I was made to feel beautiful and amazing. Dean and Karen from Dean Agar photography are both talented, exceptional and warm inviting professionals that made me feel beautiful for the first time in a very long time. There was no judgements or snickering which was what I was used to.
The photos turned out better than I could've ever expected and delivered in such a quick turnaround time that I cannot recommend them highly enough.

MORE ABOUT THE "SELF LOVE" EXPERIENCE
Start the New Year with a New You!
Why the Self Love Project & why us?
Having gone through breast cancer and subsequent surgeries, I did not feel particularly beautiful or sexy. Dean, (husband, photographer, daredevil & clown) would always tell me I was beautiful but I often found that hard to see.
I had a glamour/boudoir session myself after my cancer treatment at 52 and again at 60 years and I know that they both helped me to feel so much better about myself. (That's me in the photo, wearing the curtain). Not too shabby for a 60 year old.
Dean suffers from low self esteem, and and can easily identify with others who feel the same. He struggles with his weight and knows just how hard that battle can be.
We both wanted to create something very special for all women to enjoy. We want every woman to feel and look beautiful and be happy in their own skin.
It will be fun, fulfilling and transformational. The REVOLUTION is within you…and we want to bring it out! Join us on this fun and incredible adventure.

Dean & Karen
We are full time photographers located in beautiful Bulimba, inner south Brisbane, QLD. We love cycling, walking our fur baby Sammie, & spending time together.
We have been producing elegant and tasteful portraits since 2009, and we absolutely love what we do. We feel that we are so lucky to have found each other, and this path in our lives.
Our goal with every session is to craft images that will make our wonderful clients feel absolutely AMAZING. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a massive smile when a client sees their photos for the first time and to be part of a process that allows them to feel more positive, empowered & confident.

All of our sessions are held at our Bulimba Studio in South Brisbane, 15 mins from Brisbane CBD. Our private home studio is quiet and is heated and cooled for your comfort.
We do have some outfits for your complimentary use such as lace robes, men's white business shirts, jumpers, body suits and accessories but we recommend that you bring your own well fitting pieces as well.
We can do a wonderful session with only two sets of lingerie; black and cream which always work. If you have the budget, adding a colour is great. Red is fantastic as well as jade green.
We have a full wardrobe of dresses for Vintage Pinup and a full wardrobe for our steampunk style.
We have put together a great guide preparing for your boudoir or portrait session. This will be sent to you as part of your booking confirmation.
Everyone is nervous! It is totally normal, but you will have a great time and when you see your gorgeous images, it will totally be worth it!
Our packages include professional hair and makeup to make sure that your experience is absolutely perfect. We have excellent award winning makeup artists available to us to make sure you look and feel your absolute best.
For female same sex couples please add an extra $180 for the second hair & makeup if you would both like to have that service.
We will tell you how to pose and where to look, right down to how to place your fingers. All you have to do is to show up and have a heap of fun!
Although we would love to share your images with other couples just like you, we NEVER, EVER use images without written permission. We would only ever use them with your express permission and that is totally optional for you both.
We are a husband & wife team and we work together on every session. Dean will take your photos and I (Karen) will help with your posing, styling and dressing. I will make sure that you do not have any costume malfunctions and that your hair & makeup is always perfect.
Many women worry about being in a session with a male but that disappears very fast as they see that we are all about their experience, and getting the very best results.
We offer high resolution digital packages as well as folio boxes, prints, wall art and albums and you will receive the high resolution digital images with every print that you purchase.
You will receive a $100 credit to use towards your image collection. Matted prints with digital files begin at $295 each and collections begin at $850 (before credit is applied). We will go through prices and options on your phone call.
We will discuss this on your pre-shoot phone consult so that you know exactly what to bring. We have put together a great free guide on planning your perfect boudoir experience which will be sent to you when you book your date.
We offer interest free payment plans. Simply let us know the amount you wish to pay each week or fortnight from your credit or debit card. Terms can be up to 6 months. Once the amount has been paid off we will edit and process your images.
Our comfortable and private home based studio is in beautiful Bulimba, 8km from Brisbane CBD. We have free off street parking and flat access for disabled clients.
We do not have any children & no drop-in's so your session with us is completely private and quiet. Our beautiful fur-baby, Sammie the samoyed, will keep you company and make you feel like you are at home while she snores away in the corner of the studio.
Yes, you are most welcome to include some of our other styles of photography into your session including portraits, fitness, vintage & art nude.
Your selected images will be edited and emailed to you within 10 days of your session. If you have ordered prints or wall art, they will follow around 2 weeks after that.
