You will recognize this saucy fox from the babe on the main page of my website. I collaborated with this Toronto babe on a series of beautiful portraits while I was in Toronto, post Camp Do More. There is nothing sexier or more powerful than a woman owning all of her bits and all of her glory! We started her session off with a RAW session, which means no makeup & no photoshop - just her in her babeliness. Then we popped on some makeup to do some glam work and took advantage of the amazing Lovt Studios. Body confidence isn't something that comes overnight - Ms. Rachel is one of the bad ass babes from The Succulent Six, a troupe of plus babes doing amazing shit and proving that your body shouldn't hold you back from anything! As a model, former athlete, and mother of one, Rachel is kicking ass in all forms and looking fierce af while she does it!

I brought ms. Kiana in to the studio for some maternity photos because I had some things I wanted to try. We literally went from Annie Leibovitz styled portraits to music video mama. This is your reminder that just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you can't be sassy af.
She Hated Her Mom Boobs ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photography
Where do I even begin with this gorgeous woman??? Ms. N is one of the most glorious souls I have ever met and I had the pleasure of meeting her through photography. Last year we met at Camp Do More (she owns Noel Cosgrove Intimates) and I was told to give her a little pep talk before she modeled for a bunch of other photographers. After I saw this vixen I KNEW I needed her to model THIS year for my workshops at Camp Do More, so I reached out to her and she hesitated, but said yes. Well, when my husband I took our roadtrip to Seattle, I also arranged a little shoot out get together with my photographer friend Jessica Rae and Ms. N flew out to join us in the fun! At the end of shooting the gorgeous Georjah, Miss N got down to her skivvies so we could have a practice run BEFORE camp! I fucking love shooting other boudoir photographers because they a)tend to be more nervous than regular clients and b)know what we look for in terms of lighting, posing, and expressions. Miss N was no different, but within 20 minutes she was nudie and getting her Tough Love Teri talk. I am going to let her tell you the rest, but I just have to say that I am incredibly proud of this babe and I truly hope she knows just how strong, fierce and fiery she is! AND I can't wait to see her in just a weeeeeek!!Leading up to my time with Teri I had been equally as excited and nervous to be vulnerable in front of her. Unlike others I already knew she wouldn’t tune out my verbalized negativity about my body, but attack it head on. She asked me why I hated my ‘mom boobs’ and I’ve since realized there is an explanation as to why I didn’t have enough reasons to verbalize. Of all the pep talks I give women about the the miraculous things they can do, My body has carried me through abuse, dietary issues, pregnancies, surgeries, it’s done CPR to try to save a life, it takes boy scouts tenting in -25, leads baseball teams in the summer, and helps me run a business. Why is this body worth less than the women who stand in front of me? If I put a mirror between us why would my feelings change about the woman I’m now looking at? Why do I not love myself from under my chin, the left side of my face, or naked? These are the things I have been asking myself since my session. These questions are keeping me moving forward in my journey because in my heart I know it’s ridiculous so I have to keep trying to change my head. When I look at theses amazing images, some of which I love a little less than most, I keep reminding myself I am not that angle, that doesn’t define a beautiful person. I am so happy about this experience with Teri and the steps forward, that she’s made possible, in my love for my body.Are you wanting to change they way you see your body? The way you talk to her? The way you despise her for everything she can't do, instead of loving her for everything she can? If so, then let me help you! Hit me up with an email to get this self love party started!
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!
