Michele Mateus Boudoir photographer Vancouver

Experience the transformative
power of boudoir photography.


Hi, I’m Michele Mateus, your ally in this empowering exploration of self.
My approach is all about celebrating you — your body, your journey,
your strength, your beauty, as defined by you.

I’m not just a boudoir photographer; I’m a facilitator of radical self-love,
here to help you embrace yourself as you are, with a sprinkle of sass and badassery.

Together we will reject the narrow confines of conventional beauty standards, to capture your raw and unfiltered self. This process will be about self discovery, leaving you with art as unique as you are, honouring every part of you.

If you are worried about looking awkward on camera, let me tell you a little secret… all of the women below felt the same way. Rest assured, with my guidance you will soon forget you are in a photoshoot and feel like you are having a fun day out
with a bestie!

Join the movement of women taking steps towards feeling free in their bodies,
and being unapologetic af about it!

Welcome to artistry over conformity, my Friend.

~ PEARL

“I am so happy with my experience with Mateus Studios. Michele is such a pleasure to work with, very supportive and is incredible at what she does. The photos are stunning! She created such a safe space to just be fully expressed and feel so confident in my own skin. Thank you!”


~ LILA

“Michele is amazing! She has a gift with photography, and she’s the girlfriend we all want in our lives. My experience was so fun, empowering, and comfortable, even though having my photo taken has always been outside of my comfort zone. Michele prepares you so well with what to expect, prices, etc. I will definitely book with Michele again”

~ SUZANNE

“Wow the entire experience of this photo shoot was incredible from start to finish. Michele’s attention to detail from our first conversations to how I wanted to be photographed was really great. My images are STUNNING. This is not something I thought I would ever say about an image of myself but she showed me that I am beautiful and worth the time and effort to be in photos!”
