Boudoir Experience and Album Reveal - Pink Blush Boudoir Edmonton Studio

I am so thrilled to share Miss K’s Boudoir experience with you today. She came to see me this past September at our Edmonton boudoir studio, in search of a little more self confidence and some much needed body liberation. As women many of us grow up in homes where our parents do their best to shelter us from the evil ways of the world. No parent wants their daughter taken advantage of, or vulnerable to the dangers of the world, and of course we want our girls to grow up respecting their bodies. Unfortunately sometimes this means that those protective parenting tactics go a little too far. Instead of feeling strong and secure with our bodies we feel suppressed and shameful about them. Instead of feeling our own ownership of our bodies, we feel like they are not really ours. We get told, we can’t wear this and we can’t go there, all because of how other people might react to the “message we are sending”. We get conditioned to hide ourselves, to watch what we say, and how we behave. This can leave women feeling confused and closed off from their sexuality. It can make self expression difficult and pleasure, one when it is with a safe partner, completely off limits. It can take years of self work to overcome these traumas and many forms of therapy. I’m glad to say that boudoir can be a big milestone in the journey to self acceptance, and liberation. We can offer a safe place for women to explore themselves without judgment and hopefully with a little luck we can help them release some of that societal pressure. Boudoir can be a great addition to a woman’s healing journey, if you would like more information on booking a session please see our website or book a complimentary consultation. Here is a little bit about Miss K’s Experience with us, I hope you enjoy her beautiful photos.

Miss K’s Boudoir Experience Review:

“I love it SO much!! I've reflected on doing this shoot over the past week or so, and I've really come to realize that this shoot has allowed me to see myself as beautiful, with and without clothing. This is another step I've taken to appreciate myself and my sexuality. I still feel sorry for my little 5 year old self that couldn't wear a tank top or sundress for the sake of modesty, or my teenage self that couldn't wear a bikini and learn self confidence. But, here I am, with these photos, proof that I'm a babe.

It was your talent, and personality that made these pictures and this experience wonderful.” Miss K

When I started shooting Boudoir 10 years ago, I thought it was so cool that I found this career where I could have fun creating beautiful images and playing around with my creative expression. Certainly this career choice would be way more fun than working a boring nine to five. I didn’t know back then how much my passion and love for this work would grow. It is so much more than just taking pretty pictures. I get to help women see a side of themselves that many never knew even existed. I get to be part of their healing journeys and a point of support and encouragement on that journey. I get to watch them blossom and grow from the start of their Boudoir Experience to the end. Watching a woman shift in her thinking about how she feels towards her own body is a fulfillment I never knew I would experience. Over the years this career, my eyes have been opened to so many more possibilities and experiences then I ever could have imagined. It is a true blessing to be able to do this work, I continue to be grateful for this gift and excited for what the future holds. I am always learning more through my experience with my clients. Every woman has her own story, her own individual struggles with her self esteem and body image. Although our stories and experiences may be different, we all have one thing in common. We just want to feel comfortable in our own skin.

Makeup Before and After of Miss K

Check out Miss K’s amazing makeup before and after reveal. Hair and makeup is a big part of our Boudoir experiences here at Pink Blush. The time taken to do your hair and makeup before your shoot is a great time for us to get to know you better, and for you to get more comfortable with us. I think its safe to say that getting pampered is never a bad thing either. How often do we actually go get a professional service like this done? Almost never for most of us. Many clients tell me the only time they ever had their makeup done was for their own wedding, or maybe someone else’s. The process of getting your hair and makeup done can be very relaxing, and can help calm your nerves before your shoot. As well, having professional hair and makeup done can make you feel more glamorous and confident. A great self-esteem boost before you even start. Tell us what you think of Miss K’s Makeup transformation.

Dreamy Sunset Boudoir - Boudoir Photography Alberta

Miss T on her Boudoir Experience: “I can not express enough the gratitude I have for Sarina and the experience I had during my boudoir shoot. From the initial consultation,
the guidance through the client closet, all the way to the shoot itself, I felt comfortable, heard and sexy. The confidence gained through the whole experience was incredible and soul changing. Their patience, expertise and sheer talent leaves you feeling confident, fierce and beautiful. I was blown away during the reveal of how incredibly stunning my photos were. What an empowering gift to give yourself! I would HIGHLY recommend Pink Blush Boudoir.”

Before and After of the lovely Miss T. Cleary, a total babe in real life, but if you never see the sexier side to yourself how do you ever know it is there? We will not find what we don’t seek. Ladies, you must seek it.

Ladies, I love the summer. Not just because it is warm here in Alberta and you can go outside without the painful freezing of your face, but because we get sunset light in our Edmonton studio. I love working with this dynamic, glowing light. We get shapes and shadows I cannot achieve at any other time of the year. It is perfect for creating a dreamy goddess like glow to your images. If you want something soft and feminine for your boudoir photos I don’t think it can get any better than this. I will be honest though this light isn’t always easy to catch. If it is cloudy, this is not going to happen. That means when you book a sunset session in the summer we may need you to be flexible on your shoot date. Typically I will know within a few days if we have a good chance at having this miracle happen in our studio and thank goodness we don’t tend to get a lot of rain here, but if you want to book a sunset session, it might require a little patience.

Miss T not only trusted me with doing her hair and makeup, helping her with outfits, and the rest of her boudoir experience, she allowed me to have a little flexibility with her session date and it was absolutely worth it. We started her session in our dark room because the timing of the light wasn’t right yet. You can see that the images in our dark room still have a lovely warm glow, so it’s never a bad thing if we are waiting for the light to be perfect. One perk of our studio is that we have multiple rooms to play in that offer different light and themes. Miss T brought 2 different body suits so we used the deep burgundy lace bodysuit in the dark room, as it gave a nice contrast on the cream couch. Her second bodysuit was nude with black strapping details. We choose to use this piece with the grey couch and brick wall. We did a lot of reflection shots to show off the detail of the front and back of the lingerie. The third lingerie piece was selected from our client closet. The mauve colour was flattering to her skin tone and the high waisted panty is always a win if you want to narrow the waist round out the hips. We also had the flexibility with the bra and panty to remove the bra for some topless shots. I always love a bra and panty as the final outfit if I have clients that think they might want topless shots but are not 100% sure prior to their shoot. This gives ladies a chance to feel out the first 2 outfits and then there is no pressure either way for the last. You will have to let me know in the comments what you think of Miss T’s Boudoir session? Below is a plentiful gallery of her stunning images

If you would like more info on how to book a sunset session please email us. We usually start getting the sunset light in mid May.

I hope you loved Miss T’s sunset boudoir session in our Edmonton based boudoir studio. Thank you for viewing our blog today. -Sarina
