Boudoir Session in Vegas One of the attendees at last years workshop, Evgenia, booked a Boudoir Session in Vegas to compliment her experience. I personally believe that being on the other end of the lens is important in the boudoir industry.

Photography Mentoring I first met Michelle back in 2010 when I joined Helping Hearts, a non-profit photography program she co-founded. We lost touch over the years but she recently reached out to me on facebook and asked if I would be open to Photography Mentoring, as she had recently taken up interest in photographing boudoir. Quite the divergence from the newborn...
When my favourite local lingerie store, Forever Yours Lingerie, asks if I would be interested in photographing the newly acquired Dita Von Teese line for them, I'm not gonna lie, I may have squealed REALLY loud! I am so proud of FYL. They are the first and only Canadian retailer to carry Dita Von Teese's amazing lingerie. That is quite the...
After working hard on her personal health and fitness routine for 16 weeks leading up to her intimate lifestyle photoshoot, Miss N was still feeling nervous. She worried about how to position her body and manage facial expressions...
I met Corrina about 8 or 9 years ago. We were at a mutual friend's place having a girl's night in - mani-pedis, wine, you know ;) I was telling the group about how I met my biological families (I'm adopted, for those that don't know). When I got to the part about my bio father, I mentioned his name and...

Kate emailed me about doing a boudoir session for herself a few months ago. She is still relatively new to Canada, originally from Germany, and she was feeling a little down and needed a pick me up. A little self confidence boost. I am so glad that she choose an intimate lifestyle photo session with me in order to accomplish this! Here what...
I often get asked: "What should I do, should I smile? Am I suppose to keep a serious face?" An intimate portrait session is all about YOU. I want to capture your personality. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, whatever that might be! Are you serious? Are you bubbly? Are you conservative? Do you like to push boundaries? It's all about...

Ms. N came in to create an unforgettable birthday gift for her husband, but I think she would agree it was just as much a gift for herself.
