Nicole and I did it again! This time we were inspired by Rihanna's HARD video with it's green/yellow tones and bad ass military vibe. While we didn't get as many outfits as we had wanted, I still like to think we made magic. For me, this was a challenging shoot because of the editing more than the shooting process. I had to desaturate a lot and play with color toning that I usually try to avoid. I got frustrated, but then I had fun learning and trying to match the lighting styles of the video. Once we played out the military outfit, we decided to grab some shots of Nicole with our faux police attire as she is trying to decide what she should be for Halloween....she's just going to go to 2 different parties.
Here's our inspiration:
Empowering Emerald {curvy inspiration session} ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
EEEEE!!! I am beyond stoked for everything that is coming down the pipe for 2017! One of the coolest things, is that myself and my cohort Lindsay Rae of Lindsay Rae Photography in New York are co-hosting a variety of workshops specializing in photographing women with curves and creating curves for those babes who are more athletically built! A side effect of our awesome niche, is that we also both utilize the same premium album company to provide our clients with gorgeous, long lasting products for our clients to preserve their gorgeous images and therefore, we have created our own album line coming out next year called Confident Curves. To get one of the samples made, I threw together a kick ass shoot with the gorgeous Miss C (who has been featured a few times on the site!) to celebrate our Empowering Emerald cover - a gorgeous "crocodile" looking leather cover in emerald.
This is only ONE of a multitude of gorgeous covers that will be coming in the new year with a variety of confidence-inspiring names! But anyhow, let's get to the goods! Check out this epic inspiration session shoot with Miss C, inspired by the dark hues of the winter season: burgundy, eggplant, and emerald. A lot of the outfits you will see come from Adore Me!! PS. You will also see Miss C as the cover girl of our 2017 Welcome Packages!!
You Deserve a Treat {inspiration session}~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
This inspiration session came out of my feels that boudoir photography is a treat for women. It's a chance for them to value themselves, to give themselves an experience that will change the way they see themselves, and ultimately give them a bit of worth back. You know that feel you get when you get your hair did, your nails did, a massage, reward yourself with delicious things?? Well, why the hell do we not feel that more often?? Too many times, I get women in front of me "justifying" their session that it's for their husband or partner when you know damned well that it is for themselves. Doing an empowerment session should have one priority over anything else: that it makes YOU feel like a goddamned goddess worthy of all the amazingness in the world. Sure, your husby or partner is going to benefit from some sexy-ass photos of yourself, but more importantly YOU are going to feel like an epic babe for treating yourself to an amazing experience that will give you confidence and a healthier outlook on your bod! How do I treat myself? By doing fun, sassy sessions like this one that fulfill my creativity!! Thanks to Jay Rose for coming to help me out with this one! <3
Get Outside {Inspiration Session} ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photography
Sometimes I like to take what's in my head and get it out in terms of photos and I am very lucky to have a Jill in my life to allow this to happen! The 2 of us took a little roadtrip out to one of our boudy babe's farm to do a little brainstorming and of course, take some epic shots! Miss T was gracious enough to let us frolic half naked around her yard, taking photos and eating her apples! We haven't confirmed ALL the details yet, but let's just say next year we are planning something epic that may rhyme with "MODY MOSITIVE METREAT". More to come on that later. In the meantime, here is an awesome session to get you inspired to take your own boudoir session outdoors to take advantage of what summer we have left! While I cannot guarantee goats, I promise you that wherever we go it will be private, gorgeous, and help you connect to your inner wild goddess. PS. did you see the sample album of this session?

She Slayed {Minneapolis Diaries} ~ Inspiration Boudoir Session
My morning client had cancelled her session at the last minute, so I had some time to use the beautiful morning light in our Airbnb. Makeup artist extraordinaire, Nicole was more than happy to oblige!! She rocked the Slay bodysuit that I had gotten from Winners and helped me fulfill my inspiration shoot around this gorgeous home. We took advantage of all the gorgeous details that were littered throughout this gorgeous house!
Do you have a gorgeously styled home that you would like to do your boudoir session in? If so, when you shoot me an email, let me know about your ideas as I am always inspired by small details and fabulous light! I am not opposed to venturing outside the studio, so we can definitely chat!
