Focus } Pink Blush Boudoir Edmonton YEG

So often, I have clients express to me that they wish their body was something other then the way that it is. The girl with small boobs wishes they where bigger, The one with the bigger boobs would give anything for a reduction. The girl who is short wishes to be taller, the tall girl would just like to find pants with a fitting inseam. The girl with big hips feels too large and the girls with small hips feels like a boy. 

We need to start recognizing this pattern here. Is the desire to be something different really caused by how we look? Or is it where we place our focus that is the problem? 

Sometimes the best solution to a problem is asking the right questions. Does being a little "overweight" really make you less of a person? Does it change your talents, your passions, your heat?

By focusing in on the things that really matter, we learn to love ourselves and the visual aspects of who we are become less important. We all want to feel sexy, but sexy isn't a look - it's a feeling. So, feel it.  

Body Jewelry } Pink Blush Boudoir Photography Edmonton YEG

Every so often I get the creative itch to do something totally different. As much as I love shooting boudoir, sometimes I just need to change things up a little bit. A few weeks ago, I got inspired to make a new body cage for the studio. I found some random broken jewelry pieces around the studio while cleaning up and got to work! Looking at the bits and pieces, I knew I could make something our clients would love. There's nothing better than a boudoir studio that supplies one of a kind jewelry, now is there? Here are some hot photos of Miss G showing off our new body bling... 

Also, I need to give a quick shout out to Tricia Victoria Photography for the new B&W preset I've been using.. It's like hot sauce, I could put it on everything! Thank you Tricia.

Fishnets } Pink Blush Boudoir Photography Edmonton YEG

Im so in love with fishnets right now. It's funny how we go through fazes in life. In my early 20's I loved them and then I got over them, but now Im back. A pair of high waisted fishnets can help hide some flaws and add an edgy feel to your shoot. Even some of the full body pieces are pretty cool. I highly recommend bringing a pair for your shoot. Enjoy these hot images of Miss R.

Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and signs the tune - without the words, and nerved stops - at all.

Im so blessed to have a job that allows me to be creative. Never would I have imagined that my life would have taken this direction. People ask me all the time how I got started in Boudoir, and all I can say is that it choose me. I remember waking up one day after doing it for about a year and I finally realized I had everything I had been asking for. 

Ladies Support Other Women } Pink Blush Boudoir Photography Edmonton YEG

If find it all too common that women are very quick to judge or put each other down. I understand that not everyone is always going to like everyone else, but since women in this world have it hard enough as it is, I can't justify putting another women down. I might not always agree with another woman's actions or choices, but I try to understand that everyone has their reasons. 

I was never a popular girl in school, and often felt threatened by other girls. Usually for things like talking to a boy, or even just for being friends with one. This was something that I struggled with a lot, since I found it hard to be friends with girls, and the guys where easier to hangout with. When I was in grade 11, my then boyfriend cheated on me with a girl from school. I remember everyone expecting me to hate this girl because she made out with my boyfriend, but I knew exactly how being hated on by other women made me feel. I also knew that it was my boy friend who did the wrong doing, not her. I didn't feel the need to make best friends with this girl, but I also saw no use in rubbing her face in her actions. She had her reasons for making out with a guy she knew had a girlfriend; most likely, those reasons came from a place of low self value. Instead of being angry I tried to forgive her, and accept that she had her own struggles. 

I wish more women could treat each other this way. Instead of pointing out every fault or trying to bring another woman down so you can feel better. Try to see that the woman you are judging, disrespecting or putting down has a heavy enough load. Maybe with a little compassion, we might all be able to make healthier life choices. Maybe by having each others backs instead of stabbing them, we can join forces and be a powerful example for our children. Considering every human was created by a woman, that could create a pretty powerful change.
