Boudoir, portraits & unapologetic self-expression
Katie Beare
Portrait Photographer
I’m Katie, the photographer behind Glow & Tell Studio, based in Mount Gambier, South Australia. I specialise in boudoir photography, portraits and personal branding, creating bold, empowering images for people who want to feel confident, expressive and completely themselves in front of the camera.
I’ve always believed that great photography is about more than looking good. It’s about how you feel. The confidence that shows up when you stop worrying about whether your body looks “right”. The laugh you didn’t expect. The pose you never thought you could pull off. The moment you realise you’re actually having fun in front of the camera.
That’s what I want every Glow & Tell experience to feel like. A space where you can experiment, play, embrace your body and express yourself without judgement. Whether you’re booking a boudoir photoshoot, a personal branding session or a portrait experience, I’m here to create images that feel powerful, authentic and unmistakably you.
Based in Mount Gambier and welcoming clients from across the Limestone Coast and South Australia, Glow & Tell is all about celebrating you exactly as you are, while giving you the space to discover just how good it feels to be seen.
Client Testimonials
I was nervous before my boudoir session because I’m not usually comfortable being photographed, especially showing so much of my body. Katie made me feel completely comfortable from the beginning and somehow turned all those nerves into excitement. She gave me direction without ever making me feel awkward or overly posed, and I actually found myself having fun. Seeing the final photos was honestly such a confidence boost. I looked strong, sexy and completely like myself.

I’d been putting off getting professional brand photos because I didn’t want them to feel stiff, corporate or like someone I wasn’t. Katie made the whole experience feel relaxed, creative and completely me. She gave me plenty of direction while still letting my personality come through, and somehow made having my photo taken genuinely fun. The final images are confident, natural and actually feel like my brand. I finally have photos I’m excited to put on my website and socials.

I never really saw myself as someone who could be sexy in front of a camera, so I was definitely nervous going into my boudoir session. Katie made everything feel so natural and fun that I completely forgot about all the things I’d been worried about. She knew exactly how to pose me and brought out a confidence I didn’t even know I had. When I saw the final photos, I was honestly in awe. I couldn’t believe that was me. I felt beautiful, confident and completely comfortable in my own skin.
