Boudoir Diva

I am so excited to finally be sharing these images. First of all I love when brides use boudoir photos as wedding gifts for their grooms. It's a sexy little remind of what they are going to be with for the rest of their lives and secondly because Tanya and I have been long time friends (she knew me long  before becoming a photographer was ever a blip on my radar) So it was an honor when she came to me for a boudoir session to make a photo album gift for her soon to be husband.
As Tanya and Ryan recently bought a new house. They had a beautiful new bedroom set and large windows in the back room. This would be our setting for her photos. And sneaking it past Ryan was easy as they work separate shifts. I came over one morning while Ryan was work and got to work myself. Like myself Tanya has love for unmentionables and corsets so I was very excited about using her wardrobe. She also had lots of ideas to bring to the table. We did have some onlookers as her pets, Skye the dog and cats Kitty and Merlin wanted to be part of the shoot as well but we still managed to get some beautiful images of just Tanya lol.
Once her photos were selected and edited we meet up a few weeks later to put together her special boudoir album gift for Ryan. We slaved always in front of my laptop and over Chinese food, we selected the images and constructed the book. Normally I construct the books myself alone but this was a favour I was extending to a friend.
The book turned out beautiful. Black leather hard cover, on the front we added the words "I do" along with the wedding date, and after being delivered to my house it was passed off to one of the grooms men to be given to Ryan the day of wedding before the ceremony. From what I am told, the rest of the grooms men all left the room and gave Ryan some privacy when opening the book for the first time. Such gentlemen!
At the wishes of Tanya and to keep these images a surprise for Ryan I have been sitting on these photos for months, waiting till after the wedding to release them. As their wedding took place this past weekend I am now free to post these images. Here are some of the shots of my beautiful friend, and new wife to Ryan.

A special congrats to the both of you! I am so happy to see the two of you tie the knot. It was a pleasure and honor to be a part of your day, not only in constructing this gift for you, but also being a part of your wedding party. Many long and happy years together my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir.

Boudoir.  It's exciting It's inciting And it's confusing and intimating all at the same time!  If you are thinking about a boudoir I'm sure you have some pretty big questions on the top of your head. That's fine. I mean it's not everyday you are standing half naked in front of a perfect stranger.  So you have questions... I've got answers. Q: Boudoir. Pornography. What’s the difference? A: Well for starters Boudoir is suggestive, while porn is... well you know. And you don’t have to be complete nude or revel anything at all when it comes to boudoir photographs. One of the most important things about being sexy is being confident. If you feel that way wearing jeans, by all means, wear jeans! Or a button down men’s dress shirt. Sure why not? Classy, suggestive, and flirty. Q: Can you Photoshop my images? A: If you would like to have say, stretch marks, a scar, that unwanted, embarrassing tattoo from when you were 16

Paint War Engagement Session

My best friend Ashlee is getting married in October. She and her girlfriend wanted some engagement photos done for their wedding website. Being my best friend I wanted to do something very special and unique for her photos. I have seen some very cute engagement sessions done with chalk fights. I decide to kick it up a notch. Why not switch out chalk for paint! Brighter colors, high energy and loads of fun, just like my friend and her girlfriend. We picked up some paint and water guns from the dollar store and found an awesome location for our shoot. The result was awesome! Pops of bright color, boisterous zeal and above all, highly entertaining! Made me kind of wish I had partaken in the fun myself, beyond the camera.   I love experimenting with different concepts and different ideas when it comes to my photography. I am so thankful to have such great friends who are willing be victims for my wild photographic endeavors. I am also so happy to have to gotten s

Choosing Your Location, Fall Addition

It's that time of year again where the weather changes and vibrant hues surround us. So looking for a place to take photos may be different than a place in the summer or winter that you enjoyed. Choosing a location that best suits you and your comfort level is important. It is good to pick somewhere that will make your session memorable and pleasing for you. Find a place that fits well with your personality and gets you to enjoy your experience. Some of my favorite places in the Fall time are Morningstar Mill, Malcolmson Eco Park both in St Catharines. As well as Firemans Park in Niagara Falls, McFarland House in Niagara on the Lake, and Balls Falls in Vineland.  Morningstar Mills is a heritage site located at Decew Falls. This site features a beautiful working mill rebuilt in 1872 and is surrounded with trees and water. It is a good naturalistic place to go, especially in the fall time when there are numerous colors all around you and a beautifully built mill overlooking some wate
