Hey there, I’m Amy!
I'm the heart and soul behind the camera and Temptations Intimate Photography.
Growing up, I never thought my love of photography would flourish into a career, so I focused my energy on other ventures. By 18, I had started my own fashion brand. Building and promoting my brand from the ground up was challenging, and I found myself doing my own product and model photography. This reignited my passion for the medium.
Working with many incredible women and models, I was inspired by the confidence and empowerment that photography brought them. I took it upon myself to further develop my skills and eventually focused exclusively on photography and the boudoir experience.
Breaking into the world of boudoir photography wasn't easy. It's a genre that's often misunderstood and surrounded by misconceptions. But I saw the incredible potential it had to empower women. I wanted to create a safe, welcoming space where women could feel beautiful, confident, and celebrated just as they are.
Through countless hours of practice, learning, and dedication, I honed my craft. I learned how to capture not just the outer beauty, but the inner strength and essence of my clients. Each session became a journey of self-discovery and empowerment for the women I photographed. The transformation I witnessed in them was nothing short of magical.
Today, Temptations | Intimate Photography is a thriving brand, and it brings me immense joy to offer an experience that enhances the pride and self-image of people from all ages and walks of life. It's more than just photography; it's about creating a moment where every person feels seen, valued, and beautiful.
Every click of the shutter is a step towards helping someone see their true beauty and worth. I am honored to be a part of that journey and to provide a space where women can reclaim their confidence and embrace their unique selves.

Marnie Johansen
MAKEUP ARTIST
This is Marnie, our talented Makeup Artist. She has been with us since the very beginning.
She is a freelance MUA so you can book with her outside of our sessions for weddings, events or even to just to get a beautiful face of makeup.
Here's a little bit to get to know her more:
"I'm a Tamworth local. I sort of fell into makeup. It wasn't something that i had ever considered before but i love special effects makeup and was playing with some halloween looks when a friend mentioned i should look into doing special effects / film. I guess facebook was listening because an ad popped up for makeup school and i suppose that is what kicked it off. I began learning the basics and progressed further studies so now i specialise in SFX makeup for films! So bloody cool!" -

"I've been hairdressing for 4 years now and i absolutely love it. It has always been my passion and something i wanted do as a career for as long as i can remember.
