An Angel in Florida ~ International Boudoir Photographer

boudoir photographer winnipegI am finally getting around to finishing up all my travel stories and I'm so excited to share this one of Miss Angel.  I was introduced to her from Dawn (whom you will be seeing later on the blog) while I was staying at her house, and miss Angel came to play and did not disappoint.  She let me dress her up in my spangliest jacket ever (a sweet find from the consignment shop in Fort Pierce!) and even got in the pool for me.  I wanted to edit these ones in a bit more fun, bright way seeing as she is from Miami and she definitely brought the heat.boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipegboudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipeg boudoir photographer winnipegboudoir photographer winnipeg

Freedom Sessions ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographers

freedom session winnipegIt was late august 2017 when I realized I had only ventured outside to shoot 3 times the entire summer and I felt crushed.  I remember when I started photography and summer would roll around, I would be so grateful for the beautiful light and would shoot almost every night because I didn't want to "waste" the light...but last year, I didn't make it a priority and literally felt like I had wasted the light.  Well, fast forward to March when I went to visit my friends in Florida and all of our sessions essentially took place outside.  It was so refreshing to get outside, to play with the natural light, the landscapes and have my subjects interact with nature.  I had forgotten how pure it was...how...free.  So this summer, I am scheduling time to do limited night sessions with babes in flowing dresses to play and reconnect in nature.  And now you know my selfish reason for these sessions, but there's another reason why they are so important to me.freedom session winnipeg

PLAY.

freedom session winnipegIt's not very often that we, as adults, play.  Let go.  Spin and jump and run with joy.  Especially when a camera is on us.  We have become such a society and culture focused on CREATING and PERFECTING moments instead of CAPTURING moments.  Freedom Sessions are designed to capture you exploring, playing, breathing, laughing, and experiencing joy.  We will capture movement.  We will capture emotion.  We will provide you with beautiful candid images that make you FEEL.  So, lemme answer some of the questions surrounding these sessions!freedom session winnipegWhat will you wear?We will provide the dresses for you to frolic around the forest/fields/beach (wherever we choose) and we have dresses all the way up to a size 5x!  Every woman is worthy of experiencing nature, and more importantly being photographed.  Hair & makeup doesn't come included with these sessions because they are more of the natural variety, but if you decide you want to glow for your session we can hook you up with Nicole or Kylie!freedom session winnipegWhen will these occur?These sessions will occur towards sundown, starting at 7pm and last for about 30-45 minutes (depending on location).  We want to take advantage of that beautiful golden sun in the evening and even if storms are rolling in, we will have some amazing clouds to photograph as well!  You can check out our availability here (and book if you feel so inclined!)freedom session winnipegHow are these sessions different then fempowerment sessions?While the intent of empowerment is, of course, prevalent in both sessions, Freedom Sessions have a few differences.  First, they are much shorter as mentioned above! Second, you get to wear clothes-WOOOO!  Third, they are extremely limited (only 15!!)!  Four, these are more fine art inspired and less about looking and being sexy.  It's about existing, feeling, playing, and therefore the images will reflect this much more than our traditional fempowerment sessions.  Sometimes your photos may not be in focus (like the one above) because it's about telling a story and capturing you....being free.  During Fempowerment Sessions I provided specific instructions for posing to CREATE an image, whereas Freedom Sessions are designed to CAPTURE an image, so you will need to prepare yourself for letting go, feeling silly, and enjoy the freedom of playing.freedom session winnipegHow much are these sessions and what's included?Freedom Sessions are $275+tax and that covers my time & talent during and after the session.  Images are NOT included in the session fee.  After your session, you will receive a gallery 5-10 days later featuring 25-35 images from your shoot and upon seeing them you will be able to select a variety of methods to have your images finalized.  You can check out our full Freedom Session pricing guide here!freedom session winnipegSo, that's the news, my friends! A fun new session to liberate you and help you reconnect with nature and yourself!  If you want to play with me this summer, book your session here!

Chill Vibes with Jade {Mexico Diaries} - Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer

boudoir photography retreatPrepare yourselves.  I have pretty much finished all of the images from our Mexico trip back in February, so there will be an onslaught of tropical beauties coming your way!  First up is Miss Jade whom you've seen a number of times before.  She is what we like to refer to as a "muse".  This girl is a beautiful chameleon as you will see in all of her posts, able to become any character at any moment!  For this particular look, I wanted to go for a comfy, natural look and when we arrived to our "home" for the week and saw we had our own private tiki bar, I knew it was the perfect set for it!  My babe Kylie Smith did Jade's beautiful natural makeup, making sure this doll glowed in the light.boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat boudoir photography retreat

Kiana {curve model} ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer

boudoir photography curvyKiana is a gorgeous curve model who popped by the studio for a test shoot with myself.  I fell in love with her via her instagram and knew we needed to do a session together, so we pulled together some metallic pieces for the shoot and got down to business.  The babe brought the curves, but she also brought THE FACE.  This girl can turn it on and off like you won't believe!  Not only is she a fab model, but she is also a fierce makeup artist!boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy boudoir photography curvy

A Different Kind of Nude ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photography

winnipeg creative photographyA crazy part of being a creative entrepreneur is that you need an outlet and the opportunity to try things you have never done before in an effort to keep you alive and passionate for the work you create for your clients.  It's helpful to have an amazing team available when you need to get an idea out of your head and onto paper, film, computer, and this particular project was no different.  I told Nicole, my fab makeup artist, to come to the studio because I had 3 ideas to play through and it was completely different for both of us from the makeup to the styling to the posing....definitely not my traditional boudoir.  That being said, it turned out exactly the way I saw it in my head when I purchased a pair of nude panty hose.  I am now inspired to try this same concept with multiple colors in the future, so it may be an ongoing adventure!  In any case, here are the results of Look #1 (which cost me approximately $8 for the entire "outfit")winnipeg creative photography winnipeg creative photography winnipeg creative photography winnipeg creative photography
