Natalya {San Francisco Travel Diaries} ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
Natalya was one of the babes at the Stripped Down Retreat that is an incredible chameleon. This little beauty is full of sugar and spice and can go from looking sweet and innocent to saucy af in a blink. I didn't have as much time to work with her, alas, because she was the model used for my one on one, but we still managed to grab some beautiful images. Her features brought to mind a sort of dame from the 20s who gave no fucks about the men she left behind...or at least that was the story I created for her. Without further adieu, here's Natalya.
Kyle {San Francisco Travel Diaries} ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photography
Kyle was one of the other male models that I had the pleasure of photographing while I was at the Stripped Down Retreat in and with him, I wanted to get weird, because hey, it was the end of the retreat and I was feeling adventurous. Kyle gladly obliged my odd requests and we had a lot of fun just loosening up and make some really fun editorial shots. We also managed to grab some more traditional male boudoir shots. Enjoy!
Hot Sauce {Get Messy Session}~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
Nicole and I were joking about her immense love for hot sauce and I told her I had been wanting to do a session where we just let loose and got super messy....so naturally, this session HAD to happen. We collaborated with epic barbershop talent of Scott Ramos at Saint, just across from the studio and the morning of the shoot he skillfully recreated the Sriracha rooster on the side of Nicole's head with the corresponding HOT on the other side.
We looked online to find a hot sauce bodysuit, but aside from the black and gold one that our previous client had worn, we couldn't find anything, so we created one. HOWEVER, the t-shirt transfer I used was absolute crap and it never fully transferred onto the bodysuit, but when it pulled off, I actually like it a bit better because it reminded me of a worn Sriracha label, as if one had used the bottle on numerous occasions. 
If you didn't catch it, we did a Facebook live of the Get Messy session on my fb page and you can check it out here. At first, Nicole seemed hesitant to pour the sauce (which was actually just ketchup btw) all over herself and in her hair and I think this is something I can expect from other Get Messy sessions. As adults, we are taught to maintain a certain level of decorum, to not make a mess, to consider the consequences, etc. and while most of the time this behavior is good, it also impacts our ability to just let go and play! Once Nicole got into it, you could see the pure delight that showed up in her face and how much fun she was having and even if it wasn't hot sauce, I think the liberating feeling came moreso from the act of getting a little...well, messy!
So, I want to offer the Get Messy sessions to you bad ass babes and boys....let's cover you in whatever the hell you want: ice cream, paint, mud, clay, gold leaf, chocolate, maple syrup, literally whatever you want!! After you check out the rest of the images from this session, head over the Get Messy page and get the details on how you can book one of these!
Justin {San Francisco Travel Diaries} ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
One of the best things for me was photographing the men at the workshop and not just because they were sexy as hell, but because it is something that is slightly out of my comfort zone. I rarely photographed men, but have since decided to offer my empowerMENt sessions because men struggle with body image as much as women do, but they are not able to talk about it as easily as us. Justin was the first male that I got to photograph at the retreat and once I got started shooting, my nerves totally fell away and before you know it, myself, Paige & Stephanie convinced him to wear nothin' but a hand towel at the end of the day. If you or any guys you know are interested in coming for a session that shows them in a sexy, hot af, and confident light, then send them my way!
