K’s Boudoir Photography Experience | Vancouver Boudoir Photographer

Why did you book a boudoir photo session?
I wanted to do a boudoir session for myself and for my boyfriend. I struggle with low self esteem and I knew doing a boudoir session would help me over come my insecurities. I love my boyfriend more than anything in the world and I wanted to show him how much he means to me. I know this is the perfect gift for him.

Why did you choose TAIT Boudoir Photography?
I chose TAIT photography because out of all the websites I browsed, Erica seemed like the most professional and genuine photographer. All the interviews and testimonials said wonderful things about her and her work, her website was easy to explore and her pictures are just AMAZING! Her prices are very competitive and there are so many product choices! She gives you many pictures to choose from too. I am so glad I chose Erica to take my pictures, the experience was far better than I ever imagined.

How did you prepare for your session?
The morning of my session, I was very relaxed and had my nails done. I gave myself lots of time for everything and had a very stress free morning. The night before, I picked out all my outfits that made me feel sexy and pretty. I was more excited than nervous!

Who are your images for?
The images are for me and my boyfriend as an anniversary gift. My boyfriend has not seen the pictures yet, nor does he know I even did this. But I am quite sure he is going to be stunned and incredibly happy and I’m so excited for the day I get to show them to him!

How was your boudoir photography the experience?
Erica is an amazing photographer. She told me everything I needed to do and was really supportive throughout the whole session. She was very encouraging which made me feel really comfortable. The radio was playing in the background and it was all very relaxing. I felt like a supermodel!

How do you feel about your photos?
After my session, I was counting down the days until I could see my pictures. The morning I received the email I was so excited to see them! I absolutely love them. They all make me feel really good about myself and all the insecurities I have are gone whenever I look at the pictures. My absolute favourite ones are the ones with me in a superman shirt. My boyfriend is the biggest superman fan and I know he is going to laugh in amusement when he sees them!

Did you have your Hair & Makeup done with us?
I don’t wear make-up… ever. So for me getting my hair and make-up done at my boudoir session was a must! It was worth everything though. My make-up artist Gaby did such a wonderful job. She talked me thru the whole process, asked me questions as to how I wanted to look, I got to pick the colours I wanted and she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I had no idea I could look that beautiful!

Why should others?
Other women should have a boudoir session because it helps you to see your inner and outer beauty. Every woman deserves to feel amazing and truly appreciate everything about her body. Erica is an amazing photographer and helped me gain my self confidence back.

Do you have an interesting story about your experience?
The morning of my boudoir session I was getting ready and putting on “fake nails” and he texted me that he may be coming home early! He was not able to escape work (thank goodness!). My boyfriend has never seen me with make up or with my hair all done up. I thought for sure when he did come home he would have questions as to why I was so dressed up. I made up excuses and he stopped asking. He thought that I looked so beautiful with my hair and make-up. Then the day I got the email my pictures were ready for viewing he was at home sick! I had to strategically place the computer so I could see them (I was very excited) and so he couldn’t! He has not seen the pictures yet and there have been some times when I’ve almost told him but I’m determined to make it a surprise!

I received my album and it all looks AMAZING. Thank you so much Erica for the wonderful job and all the time and effort you put into everything from the photo shoot to the final product. I have really appreciated everything!

Why did you decide to do a boudoir photo session?
I thought it would make for a very special Valentines Day present. I have been with my husband for ten years, and have always wanted to get some nice photos done, and when I found TAIT photography, I knew that Erica was the photographer I wanted to work with.

Why did you choose TAIT Photography?

After viewing some of the example books and Erica’s portfolio, I knew that I wanted to get my pictures done with her. Her work is amazing!

How did you prepare for the session?
I just tried to relax – oh, and make sure my legs were shaved! :)

Who are your boudoir photos for?
The images are for my husband, and I wanted him to help choose the images to go into the book, so it wasn’t a surprise, but he is very excited to see the final product.

How was the experience?
I felt very comfortable while taking the pictures – Erica is very easy to take direction from, and she knows exactly how to make you look your best.

How do you feel about your images?

I am so impressed with my pictures. My favorites are the ones where I am wearing my husband’s jersey. They look so relaxed and sexy at the same time.

Did you get your makeup done with us?
I really enjoyed getting my makeup and hair done, that was the highlight of my day, and I got to go to a party afterward, totally made-up!

Why should other women do a boudoir photoshoot?

A boudoir session makes you feel confident about yourself, and highlights your beautiful and sexy features. They make for a wonderful gift and keepsake!

N’s Boudoir Photography Experience | Calgary Boudoir Photography

Due to her career, N has decided to keep her images private, but wanted to share her boudoir photography experience.

Why did you decide to do a boudoir session?
I really wanted to feel sexy, not just cute, and this session definitely did that!

Why did you choose TAIT Photography?
I really like how Erica brings out and shows the personal beauty out of everyone.

How did you prepare?
I would highly recommend getting the professional make-up and hair. It was a great way to relax and calm your nerves before the session. Plus you end up looking smoking hot which helps add to your confidence.

Who are your boudoir photos for?
The pictures were for my boyfriend and for me. My boyfriend was really impressed! There was one picture he really liked and he keeps asking, we’re ordering that one right? For me I wanted to feel beautiful. And I did.

How was the experience?

The experience was nothing I had ever experienced before. Erica coaches you the whole time and you can’t help but walk away with a huge smile on your face.

How do you feel?
I have too many favourites at this point! The ones in the white shirt and black bra and panty are definitely the running favourites with my boyfriend.

Why should others?
It’s fun, it’s a confidence booster, and a great way to celebrate who you are. Overall it was a great experience!

Why did you decide to do a boudoir session?
I wanted to do this session for myself and for a wedding gift for my fiance. I thought it was a unique gift for him. Also, having three kids has done lovely things to my body, so i wanted something to make me feel beautiful again.

Why did you choose TAIT Photography for your boudoir shoot?
Tait seemed so professional and laid back. Erica was great and made me very comfortable.

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photographer

How did you prepare for your boudoir photo session?
Well I was not sure what to expect so basically I prepared by trying to remain calm and not nervous! I went out and purchased a few clothes that I felt would make me sexy!

Who are your boudoir photos for?
The images are for my fiance for his wedding present. I do not know how he will react but I’m hoping that he will love the images. It took a lot of courage for me to do this.

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photographer

How was  your boudoir experience?
It was a great experience! At first I was very nervous and self-conscious but Erica made me very relaxed and told me exactly what I needed to do. She was great. After seeing the pictures it was a true self-esteem booster.

How do you feel about your boudoir images?
I am very happy with the images. I did not know I could look so elegant, feminine, and beautiful. I really like the images where I’m laying down and my legs are up on the damask wall. They look very elegant.

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photographer

Do you have an interesting story?
The most interesting part was trying to keep this from my fiance. I told him that I was going to a bridal show with my sister in law. Of course the one time I was lying, he seemed to ask a lot of questions like why on a weeknight and why did I shave just to go out!! It was hard keeping it from him. I had to stash the bag of clothes somewhere that he could not see me leaving the house with it.  I could imagine trying to explain why I was leaving with a bag of lingerie.

Why should women book a boudoir photo shoot?
It makes you feel beautiful no matter what. Us women these days have a terrible self-image. I do not think we understand how beautiful we can be through someone else’s eyes. Especially having children can really make you uncomfortable with your body. After seeing the images it really helps to feel beautiful again. I am so excited to give these to him on our wedding day! I hope in 20 yrs he can look back and see how beautiful I once was!

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photography

Why did you decide to have a boudoir photography session?
I have spent most of my life at odds with my body. After I turned 35 I decided I needed to embrace my curves and celebrate the things that make me unique. I chose to do this to help give me a confidence boost.

Why did you choose TAIT for your boudoir shoot?
I did an internet search and liked Erica’s images and style. I also loved the testimonials and how many women did this for the same reason I did.

How did you prepare?
I chose a couple of outfits that made me feel good and one that took me outside my comfort zone. I tried to get a lot of rest. The week before I ate healthy and upped my exercise, not because I thought I’d loose weight, but because it helped me feel good from the inside.

Are your boudoir photos a gift for you or someone else?
I was going to give them to someone, but we broke up. Instead of canceling I chose to go through with this for me and I am glad that I did.

How was your boudoir photography experience?
Erica was incredibly professional and very sweet. She has a great eye and knows how to direct a nervous and inexperienced “model” so that you achieve flattering poses.

How do you feel about your boudoir photos?
I am very happy and pleasantly surprised at how nice some of them came out. The images I love the most are the ones where I am smiling – I never knew I had such a nice smile and now I plan to smile a lot more.

Is there anything else you would like to share?
As someone who struggled with body image issues I was surprised at how I was able to see the lovely aspects of the images instead of focusing on how chunky my arms look or seeing only double chins. For the first time in a while I was able to look at pictures of myself and think wow, I am pretty.

Why should other women do a boudoir session?
I think every woman needs to embrace their sensual and sexy side at some point in their life. We spend so much time focusing on our flaws that sometimes we loose sight of the fact that everyone has something beautiful that needs to be shared and celebrated.

Why did you decide to book a boudoir session?
I saw Tait Photography at a show and was really impressed with the idea, when I got home that night I looked up the website and within 5 minutes I had the session booked.

How did you prepare for your boudoir photo shoot?
I read through the FAQ and looked online for inspiration. I looked through lingerie websites and found poses and images I liked. I asked Erica to pose me like the samples I found.

The images were for my husband, as a Valentine’s gift, and he was thrilled with the idea.

How was your boudoir photography experience?
I thought it was great. Erica is fantastic at directing the poses. I felt really good and was very excited.

I love the images and I am not the only one. My best girlfriend thought they were stunning – so did my husband. I liked the ones with the black top the most, but really out of every outfit series, I have several that I love.

Interesting story?
The make-up artist was great. I had an awesome time with her and enjoyed the entire 3 hours.

Why should other women do a boudoir shoot?
Other women should do a boudoir shoot because you are worth it. It made me feel fantastic and sexy.
