Very Overdue Post: Body Shapes & Sizes, Covid Protocols, Spring 2021 | Vancouver Boudoir Photographer
We're led to believe that there are a handful of different body types, a few molds you can fit into, and if you don't, for shame!! Then of course, there's the 'ideal' body type (I still don't know what that is, honestly), and that's like, the boogieman (hint: it's terrifying and it doesn't exist). Every body is different, and every body is unique, and every body is beautiful in its own uniqueness.
Lingerie, Fabric, & Touch | Fashion Boudoir Photoshoot | Vancouver Photographer
You know those sayings about how things are ‘as smooth as silk’ or ‘she has the velvet touch’?
I was thinking about that a bit today, about how fabric and texture utilizes one of the most important of our senses; touch.
Totally Gorgeous Session | Boudoir Photography Vancouver
You know when you meet someone and you kinda wish you could be like them? Like, why can’t I be as caring, patient, womanly, and deeply compassionate? You meet a person and they inspire you so much; they epitomize femininity but also are just so nice…
Smouldering Boudoir Session | Vancouver Boudoir Photography | Best Boudoir Vancouver
I did this session at the beginning of the year and I’ve been meaning to write about it (I’m blogging chronologically, you see!). Notably, when I asked about this wonderful woman’s motivation for doing the session, even though she has a fiance, she said it wasn’t for him, it was primarily for herself….
Duality, and Being Vulnerable and Powerful, Simultaneously | Vancouver Boudoir Photographer
Hello lovely friends!
I just finished a 4-day photography conference/workshop in Ontario with some of the best boudoir photographers in Canada and the US; then I have a few days to spend with my family in Ontario - both have been great, and I'm glad to be able to do a "hard reset" on life, goals, family & friends, and my creative practice…
Casual & Stylish Boudoir Session | Vancouver Boudoir Photographer
I had a client recently say to me in an email, "sorry for all the hand-holding" regarding outfit choice consultation. It was an interesting comment because I think as women, we are taught to apologize a lot when asking for our needs or requests to be met....
Seriously Amazing Intimate Portrait Session | Vancouver Boudoir Photographer
I don't know what else to say? This boudoir session was seriously amazing. Not only is this woman totally freaking stunning, like the traffic-stopping kind, but she's also got a heart of gold. I mean, everyone does in their own special way, but this woman was not afraid to show it...
Sexy, Beautiful, Bold | Vancouver Boudoir Photographer
Oh blogging, how I sit and overthink each and every blog post. See, it's only because I care about those who read the blogs. I know that you're probably reading this because you're thinking about doing a boudoir session, and I'm wondering what it is you'd like to know about a session....
BIRTHDAY PORTRAIT SESSION | OUTDOOR PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY | VANCOUVER BOUDOIR & WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
While not a boudoir session, this beautiful woman messaged me because she wanted to commemorate a milestone birthday, her 30th, with some amazing portraits of herself. She had quite a few ideas which we talked about via email and over the phone, established a creative direction, nailed down a date and went on a mini adventure!
CASUAL WEEKEND | BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY | VANCOUVER & BOUDOIR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Before you can effectively tell a story through images, you have to understand the story a little bit. This is why I love getting to know my clients, because it helps me to know what mood and vibe they want to create in their photos.
