I met Ms. Mary at the NCS Pro portfolio building photoshoot and I knew immediately that I needed to get her back into the studio to model my glorious handmade lace Reclamation dress...what I didn't know, however, was that I would also come across some glorious bright yellow clothing items to throw together in the shoot as well! This beautiful political science major smashed it!
From Pretty to Gritty ~ Winnipeg Editorial Portraits
A creative play date with Jade & Kylie is always good for my soul. This particular shoot we decided to go with a pretty to gritty look and use water to aid in the transition. I love working with Jade for a bajillion different reasons, but one of my favorite is that she can switch characters at the drop of a hat (or the spritz of a water bottle). We started off the series creating "pretty" images to accent the beautiful dress, then moved to more of a coy, sweet character in the pastel pink, and the final transition to a brooding, more gritty version of beauty with the oversized wet white shirt. Despite freezing with every spritz of water, as soon as she was "on" she was on and you would never know she was cursing me between takes!
Ms. Georjah { Travel Diaries} ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
AAAAH! I was so excited when my buddy Jessica Rae told me that we would be photographing the glorious Georjah Jaymes for our little shoot out at her studio! Georjah and I had messaged back and forth awhile ago when I was traveling to Vancouver, but it just never worked out, so I was pleased that this time around I would not only get to photograph this beauty, but also meet her in person. And let me tell you - she is one of the nicest, most brilliant humans on the planet - and I only spent half a day with her!! She's hilarious and an amazing professional in front of the camera! Needless to say, we made our way through a bunch of different looks and she nailed every single one!
Kerosene Deluxe Hotel Session ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
A few years ago I had the pleasure of photographing ms. Kerosene Deluxe when I was in Vancouver and this time I went back, I contacted her again to see if she'd be up for some fun! We actually shot at the same hotel, but this time my view was totally different (with 2 walls of windows), we were shooting at night, AND my work has changed a bit since our first shoot! As usual, it was a pleasure to see this babe who was one of the first plus size models to "make it" in the industry. Unfortunately, due to some life circumstances, she had to take a brief hiatus from modeling, but luckily, she came to play with me!
Chill Vibes ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
As an end of the year creative collaboration, I got together with my girls Jade & Kylie to create a hippie/artist/chill vibe in the studio. The concept was started with an idea that Jade had and then tumbled together from there, with Kylie doing the amazing orangey tones & flower paintings on Jade's cheek, and myself throwing together the styling of the space and wardrobe. It was also the perfect chance for me to FINALLY use the Canadian bell bottom jeans I had thrifted around Halloween! We set up the studio to look like a starving artist's city loft space, with paintings everywhere and a lone mattress on the floor and set to work. If you have been following me this year (and even before), you know by now that Jade is an incredible muse for me and when we work together, it's not even work at all. Her ability to transform during each session and move in sync with me makes the magic happen and it was the perfect way to end off 2018 if you ask me! So, without further adieu, here's Jade.
