LOCATED IN RURAL PARKLAND COUNTY, AB
I believe that everyone deserves to be seen and celebrated exactly as they are…without judgement.
I want you to find the comfort and courage to BE YOU…to celebrate the wonderful woman you already are!
YOUR PHOTO SHOOT EXPERIENCE
PLAN
Before you even step into my studio, we will plan your outfits, hair&makeup and the vibe of your experience. I suggest a closet call so that we can go through your closet and the client closet, together. You can choose to be fully dressed, in lingerie or totally nude...this is your shoot, so the decision is always yours!
HAIR & MAKEUP
Hair&makeup is not mandatory, but highly recommended. It’s the perfect opportunity to get to know each other (and relax) rather than jumping straight in front of the camera and someone (me) you may not know yet. I suggest keeping hair simple (straight or curly), but makeup can be whatever you want...natural or glam!
LIGHTS - CAMERA - ACTION
During your time in front of the camera, I will coach and direct you through every pose, movement and expression. You don’t need to know how to do any of it! We will have so much fun, you won’t even know that you are being photographed. It’s my job to make you feel as comfortable and natural as possible...and I promise that I will.
SAME-DAY REVEAL
While you enjoy a yummy snack and a refreshing drink, I will cull through your images so that you can see them on the day! How exciting is that?! This is your opportunity to choose your favourite images and how you want to display them. We have many products available that will be the perfect reminder of your personal celebration!
Once upon a time, I was a shy little girl.
I allowed the bullies to push me into the shadows. But I didn’t stay there!
Every choice I have made in life, has been done with courage...in order to gain confidence. Eventually, I reached that ultimate feeling of self-love...and I continue to hold on to that feeling by working on me, every day...and celebrating the woman I have become (and becoming).
Experiencing boudoir in front of the camera was the first time I truly felt beautiful, confident and extremely empowered. I was nervous, just like my clients, but after hair&makeup and a few minutes in front of the camera...I was having the time of my life. It was SO.MUCH.FUN! I hadn’t even seen a single picture and I already wanted to do it all over again. And I have done...about TEN times!!
In that moment, I knew that I wanted to pay that feeling forward, again and again and again.
I want my clients to feel seen and celebrated.
I want women to find the courage and comfort to be exactly who they are!
WELCOME TO THE STUDIO
My studio is located on ten acres of private land, giving us access to endless opportunities, inside and outside.
Everything you see here is available for your boudoir or branding session too.
Here are a few beYOUties who said YES to celebrating their birthday, a life accomplishment, overcoming a critical illness, the start of their own business…or simply their YOUniqueness!
You don’t have to get naked or wear lingerie...you can stay fully dressed...or mix and match.
Perhaps you want to do boudoir AND branding all in one day. This is your photo shoot, so you decide!
Making YOU feel comfortable is my number one priority.
I am your session planner, set designer, style guide, posing coach, self-love coach, hair stylist, makeup artist, photographer, editor, sales rep, bartender, coffee barista and friend. It’s just me and you, boo…unless you book in for a retreat day…then you get Joanna too!
With my makeup certification, 10+ professional years behind the camera and a whole lifetime of learning to love who I am…I am here to help you find comfort in being you by encouraging you to have a healthier relationship with YOURSELF .
Boudoir (or Branding) with me is an opportunity for you to discover who you are and learn to LOVE that woman!
You may walk into my studio with nerves, but you will be sure to walk out feeling feminine, fabulous and full of confidence.
And now you can add relaxed and pampered to the list!
