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!
Britt { San Francisco Travel Diaries} ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photographer
You have probably seen the beautiful Britt in various locations on my website. This babe was one of the other gorgeous women we had the pleasure of photographing at the Stripped Down workshop. The first day, Britt wore this amazing top from Free People which took my instagram by storm when I posted it and then on day 2, I had the pleasure of photographing her again, but this time in kind of a tag-team collaborative fun shoot with my buddies, Paige Rynberg of Paige Rynberg Photography & Stephanie Wells of the Girlfriend Experience Boudoir. The 4 of us were so high on energy that we caused a bit of attention to ourselves, but it was so much fun and it's always cool to see how other photogs shoot! Keep scrolling to see the beauty that is Miss Britt:

Over the next week and so I am going to release the images that I captured while in San Francisco, learning and getting inspired by one of my mentors: Denise Birdsong, owner of Modern Love Photography & Stripped Down. First up is the beautiful and captivating Miss Calvine. This little beauty is French and gave me every emotion I ask for, but more importantly she has the sweetest and kindest aura ever. See below for the gorgeousness that is Miss Calvine.

Over 40 And Feeling Fine ~ Winnipeg Boudoir Photography
Another of our babely 40+ women came in as part of the casting call and KILLED her session. This babe had non-stop energy, was super flirty, and had some of the best wardrobe pieces (including an epic Hot Sauce bodysuit from Forever 21)! This saucy little minx came out to play and man, did we have a ton of fun doing her boudoir session. She definitely left feeling more empowered & hungry for more! Here is Miss L. slaying her session.
