S’s Boudoir Photography Experience | Edmonton Boudoir Photography

Edmonton boudoir photographer

Why did you decide to do a boudoir session?
My boyfriend is overseas in Afghanistan and I wanted to do something fun and exciting for him!

Why did you choose TAIT Photography for your boudoir photos?

They came highly recommended, were fairly priced and seemed very friendly yet still professional.

How did you prepare for your boudoir session?
I went shopping with friends to find some good, appropriate outfits and then made a girls day out it.

Who are your boudoir photos for?

They are for my boyfriend, and he was very surprised and excited about the pictures!

How was the experience?

It was fun, and completely comfortable. I never felt nervous, and I was impressed because I didn’t really have to figure anything out myself, I was guided through the whole experience.

How do you feel about your boudoir photos?
I love my images, my favourite ones are the ones in my boyfriends shirt, I thought they were very special and I loved the poses. I got to do this with 2 other friends and it was a blast, the makeup artist was fantastic and fun, and so was Erica, she seemed very kind. I felt completely comfortable with the whole experience, I would recommend this to any women I know!

Why should other women do a boudoir photo shoot?
Because it is fun, something for yourself and that special someone, and because it makes you feel good about yourself once you see the beautiful pictures!

Krystal’s Boudoir Photography Experience | Maryland Boudoir

Maryland Boudoir Photographermaryland Boudoir Photographer

Why did you want to have a boudoir session?
I wanted to be able to give my groom-to-be an extra special wedding gift — and one that he would never expect!

Why did you choose TAIT Photography?
I read some great reviews of TAIT photography on some wedding websites, and I liked the idea of shooting in a hotel room (it seemed so mysterious!)

How did you prepare for your boudoir session?
I spent a lot of time at Victoria’s Secret — and in my closet (and his!) — picking out outfits that were sexy, but made me feel comfortable and confident.

Who are are your boudoir photos for?
The photos are a wedding gift for my fiance, and I am SURE he will be flabbergasted! I can’t believe how great they turned out!

How was the experience?
Having boudoir photos done is something that I never expected I would have the guts to do, so it was a huge confidence builder, especially now — seeing the final products and how well they came out.

How do you feel about your boudoir photos?
I’m really excited about them! They are very classy, but still sexy. I like that.

Why should other women do a boudoir session?
I’ve read that for the majority of women feel better about themselves and their physical appearance on their wedding day than at any other point of their lives, and I think it’s important to be able to capture that on film. Sometimes we’re so critical of ourselves, that it’s nice to be able to stand back and look at the photos and think, “I looked hot!”

N’s Boudoir Photography Experience | Vancouver Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photographer

Why did you decide to do a boudoir session?
I checked out the website and really liked the tastefulness and look of the pictures. I really liked how the women featured were all shapes and ages and that they all looked beautiful!

Why did you choose TAIT Photography?
I had seen several photographers with boudoir-type sessions, but the look was never right – too cheesy, not classy, too overtly sexual. When I saw Erica’s work I loved it right away – the look was elegant, classy and sensual. If someone from work saw it, I would not be embarrassed. I really liked her backdrops and the angles that Erica uses.

How did you prepare for your boudoir photoshoot?
I treated myself to a spa day.

Who are your boudoir photos for?
I wanted the images for my husband for our anniversary. He always makes me feel beautiful and I thought that he would enjoy them as I am very conservative and would not normally do anything like this.

How was your boudoir experience?

I was nervous when I got there but the make-up artist, and Erica put me right to ease. I liked the location and felt very comfortable right away. Erica was very professional when she reviewed the outfits that I brought and she was open to providing input as to what she felt would look best visually.

How do you feel about your boudoir photos?
I was delighted with them! So much that I showed them to a few friends because I wanted them to go and have it done also! I was amazed at how great the pictures turned out and I know that my husband will be delighted with them.

Why should other women do a boudoir shoot?
I would recommend this to anyone as I feel that Erica’s talent is such that any woman will leave happy with the session. I am not a beautiful person but I was so delighted with the results that I wanted to share them with everyone. I have never felt so beautiful, not even on my wedding day. Every woman deserves an opportunity to feel that way regardless of whether it’s for them or for someone else. I plan on returning and getting photos that I can share done because Erica is so talented that I know I will really like them and that they will be the best photos of me.

ND’s Boudoir Photography Experience

Due to career ambitions we are unable to display N’s photos, but she still had some nice things to say!

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

Why did you choose TAIT Photography for your boudoir shoot?
I really like how Erica brings out and shows the personal beauty in everyone.

How did you prepare for your boudoir session?
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 images for?
The pictures were for my boyfriend and for me. My boyfriend was really impressed! There was one picture he really likes and he keeps asking, we’re ordering that one right? For me I wanted to feel beautiful. And I did.

How was your boudoir photography 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 about your boudoir images?
I have too many favourites at this point! Overall it was a great experience!

Why should other women do a boudoir photoshoot?
It’s fun, it’s a confidence booster, and a great way to celebrate who you are.

Bianca’s Boudoir Experience | 2010 Valentine’s Day Contest Winner

Bianca was the winner of our 2010 Valentine’s Day contest giveaway. You can read Bianca’s entry here. Our 4th annual Valentine’s Day Contest is coming soon! We will be giving away a free photo shoot package. Please check back shortly for details.

Why did you want to do a boudoir photo session?
I wanted to be able to see myself as a beautiful, sexy and confident woman. Boudoir photography captures this like no other photography experience. I was also lucky enough to be chosen as the winner for the 2010 Valentines contest. My husband enjoyed these pictures as a special treat for our 15 year Anniversary which we celebrated this past June.

Valentine's Day Boudoir Photography

Why did you choose TAIT Photography?
As I was searching for boudoir photography sites on the internet, something about TAIT Photography stood above the rest. I loved Erica’s pictures on the website and blog. I also read all the positive feedback comments.

How did you prepare for your boudoir photo shoot?
Before my session, I had my nails done by a professional. I also was so glad to have hair and makeup completed before the shoot. I attempted to get a little sun but not a fake tan. In addition, I purchased a variety of outfits for the shoot. Since the pictures were for my husband, I did take into consideration his favorite team jersey, and what HE might like to see. I also used the same veil from my wedding 15 years ago for some of the anniversary pictures.
Valentine's Day Boudoir Photography

Who are your boudoir photos for?
The photos are not only for myself but also for my wonderful husband. He was so thrilled to see the beautiful pictures. I was so impressed with the images and think they are amazing!! We will cherish these pictures forever.

How was your boudoir experience?
This was so exciting. I felt so comfortable during the shoot with Erica–she is really a wonderful person and photographer. I also wanted to go out and let everyone see how beautiful I felt in the inside and out. The makeup artist did a remarkable job with hair and make-up. There was no reason to be nervous at ALL.

How do you feel about your boudoir photos?
I love all my images. It is hard to pick a favorite. I felt incredibly sexy and confident in every picture.

Do you have an interesting story about your experience?
I think many women look for boudoir as a wedding gift for their fiance/husband. I say do it for ANY reason, no special occasion is needed. As for me, I am married 15 years with 3 children that was enough of a reason to get the pictures. Do it for yourself no matter what your current role: wife, mother, fiance, or even single!

Why should other women do a boudoir photography session for themselves?
This is a confidence booster for ANY woman and something to be so proud of doing for yourself!! I only wish I would have taken the pictures sooner, or when I got married 15 years ago. It would be neat to compare images from then and now 15 years apart. I highly recommend a session with TAIT Photography!!!

K’s Boudoir Experience | Calgary Boudoir Photography

Why did you decide to have a boudoir session?
I had just went into remission for skin cancer and I wanted to do something for myself and my husband, I wanted to feel pretty.

Calgary boudoir photographer

Why did you choose TAIT Photography for your boudoir photos?
I loved the website, I thought the galleries were very tasteful, and her work is fabulous!

How did you prepare for the session?
I ate a pizza the night before and topped it off with a hot fudge sundae! (true story) It was kind of spur of the moment, after going on the website I booked my session for the next day so to be honest I just did my usual routine of coming home from work cooking dinner and being in bed by 9:00pm. Nothing too crazy!

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photographer

Who are your boudoir photos for?
I did the photoshoot mainly for my husband. But some of it I did for myself, I wanted to feel beautiful! I have yet to give him the images for it will be a Christmas gift, I’m not sure how he will react, I know he’ll love them, especially the ones wearing the Dallas Cowboys Jersey!

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photographer

How was your boudoir experience?
I was nervous at first, but after a couple outfits I started to feel more comfortable. Erica was great, very easy to work with which made things enjoyable.

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photographer

Do you have any interesting story about your experience?
I just want to thank Erica for guiding me through the shoot, without her doing so I would have probably looked like a deer in headlights! It was fun, she made me feel fantastic!

Calgary boudoir photographer

Why should other women do a boudoir session?
So they can see just how beautiful they are. Every woman is beautiful, and doing a photoshoot like this really shows you just how much! (if you can get past your flaws and cellulite!) lol.

A’s Boudoir Experience | Calgary Boudoir Photography

What made you want to have a boudoir photo session?
I came across Erica’s website and went through her pictures and decided it would be a lot of fun and a great self-esteem booster to do the boudoir photo session.

How did you prepare for the session?
My husband and I talked about it, and went through some clothes I already had and decided we would buy one new piece so we went shopping. I also browsed other lingerie websites for ideas.

Have you given your husband the images yet, what did he think?
When I received my email we looked at the pictures together, he was super excited.

It was awesome, Erica was super fun and the make-up helped ease the nerves.

How do you feel about your images?
I love them, I’m so happy I decided to do this for myself.

I enjoyed the ones against the mirror, they are fun and sexy. I also really enjoy the bra and panties because I was super nervous about them but they turned out awesome.

Robin’s Boudoir Photography Experience | Calgary Boudoir Photography

What made you want to have images done?
I wanted to have my images done for my boyfriend. I thought it would be a very cool gift for him and I was right.

How did you prepare for the boudoir photo shoot?
I got a pedicure. I knew that I was going to get my hair and makeup done – which I would strongly recommend for anyone who wants to do this – she did a much better job than I ever could have. I also went to a lingerie shop and had an employee help me pick out flattering outfits.

Who are the images for?
The love of my life.

Have you given your partner the images yet, what did he think?
I did and he was beyond flattered that I wanted to do this for him. It blew him away. I don’t think I could have come up with a better gift for him, he absolutely loved it.

Calgary boudoir photographer

What did you think of the experience of having a boudoir photoshoot?
It was a much better experience than I thought it would be. It’s a little intimidating having your pictures taken in such revealing clothes, but Erica is so great about it, I was comfortable right away. I am very glad I will have these photos to remember how beautiful I looked.

Which images are your favorites?
That is a hard one. I liked almost all of them, but the ones that are my favorites are the ones in my boyfriend’s dress shirt. There is something very personal and sexy about wearing your man’s shirt.

Boudoir Photographer

How do you feel about your images?
Very proud that I look as good as I do in the pictures.

Is there any other info or interesting story about your boudoir photography experience?
It was a lot of fun and I really didn’t think that would be how I would describe it. I was actually quite nervous about it but the makeup girl was so fun, she put me at ease and made me look great. Can’t thank her and Erica enough.
