When Miss S. from Toronto came in she told me she was obsessed with bird cage veils, and I quietly thought to myself… awesome, so am I. I have a quite a collection – anytime I find one in a store, I have to buy it. I travel to my boudoir photography marathons with a white veil (as well as a black one). I was thrilled to be able to do more shots with the white veil. It gives a whole different look than the black veil. I think it gives a nice soft look, and you don’t have to be a bride to wear one.
Miss S. was photographed at our last boudoir photography marathon in Toronto.
I love these images of Marianne. She wore the birdcage veil and I thought these images would be perfect for a vintage inspired look.
I have a black and a white birdcage veil that I bring to all my sessions that you can use if you would like a similar look for yourself.
The title of this post is one of my favorite sentiments that I have received from a client.
As women, we are always striving for perfection. In doing so we tend to overemphasize the negative aspects of our bodies. Everyday we judge ourselves when standing too close to a mirror in poor lighting and only focus on our perceived imperfections.
Seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes can be a huge confidence boost because you get to see your whole self, without judging the first thing you notice in the mirror.
Through boudoir photography, you can realize the beauty that you might not have known you possess.

Here are a few images from tonight’s pinup session with Kitty. Hair and Makeup was done by Jackie in Calgary.
Kristin had her pics done at our recent Calgary boudoir photography marathon. She is going to send them to her boyfriend in Spain where he is away for 9 months playing professional water polo. Hair & makeup was done by the fabulous Jackie Johnson.
Erica was married in a Civil Ceremony on 888 but will have her official destination wedding in the Dominican Republic where she will gift these images. (how lucky is she?)!
An email note from Kitty… “The photos are exceptional. I have never considered myself very photogenic, but I had no problems finding 10 photos for my album. In fact, I had to narrow my choices DOWN to get to 10! I can’t wait to receive the album. I know it is something I will cherish. These photos were a reward to myself for loosing some weight. I think I’ll reward myself with another shoot once I loose about 15 more pounds. These photos are great inspiration to do just that! Erica has a great eye for capturing delicate and intimate portraits! I can’t wait to do it all over again. Thanks Erica for making me photogenic for the first time in my life!!!”
My favorite part of the session was when Kitty busted open the champagne and soaked her and the bed, that was a first! Thanks for your kind comments and for coming all the way from Atlanta for the session! I hope your husband likes them for his birthday gift too
