You are not alone if, somewhere along the way, you lost sight of the woman you used to be.


In the busyness of life, career, raising kids and caring for others you've quietly faded into the background.  Maybe you've wondered where that confidence, joy, or spark went.


She's still there and this is your moment to reconnect with her.  To see yourself with fresh eyes and remember everything that makes you uniquely you.


Because the woman you've been missing has been there all along.

.

It's time to welcome her back.


Ready to really

FAQ

I'm not a model. . . so not sure if I can really do this?

Helping women look their best is something I have become very passionate about. I am very confident in my posing as I have invested a lot of time studying posing that helps women look amazing in photos. The women on my website are everyday women and I can absolutely assure you they felt the very same as you and were just as nervous about a shoot.

Can I bring my friends to the shoot?

As much fun as a girl's day out is - I have a policy of limiting it to only one friend at the session if you so choose. Your friend will be there for moral support and encouragement; make sure she knows it is all about you. If she wants to have the experience for herself, we can book her for her own special day. The focus will be completely on you for the day.

Do you do much editing?

Because cameras nowadays can pick up every little skin detail, blemish and pore, I do use editing to get skin looking its best. However, I am keeping "photoshop" use to a minimum. I rely on posing, angles and lighting to play down problem areas and give skin its best light. I do edit out blemishes, skin flaws and simple things like under-eye circles and shadows in wrinkles. I will remove scars if you request this. I shoot in a RAW camera format which requires me to process them . . . much like the old days when film had to be processed to be printed from a negative.

The images on your website are very tasteful and pretty, but what if I wanted to get a little more risqué?

My boudior is not typical . . . I would like to think I am redefining boudoir - or at least this is my version of it. I believe that your images are about you, for you - and not an object for someone else. These sessions are about beauty, the strength and the confidence of women and, therefore, my images will not have an overly sexualized look. I want my clients to have tasteful, beautiful and cool images of themselves. I will shoot an array of clothed, partially clothed and tastefully implied nude, but no pelvic area will be visible in any of my work and that is a firm policy.

Where will my session take place? You have a studio?

I have a beautiful studio space in Bow Island, about 35-40 minutes west of Medicine Hat on hwy 3. Once you get to my studio you will be greeted with some refreshments, pampered and treated like the awesome woman you are!

Do my images have to be shared on your social media and website?

No . . . this is completely up to you. As much as I love your images and would love to showcase them, I understand that some women want to keep these images private and just for themselves. I have clients that are pastor's wives or are part of a church congregation, teachers, work in the medical field or in another public job and it would certainly be in poor taste for these to be posted anywhere online. I am your photographer and your comfort and privacy is a priority that is extremely important to me and your wishes will be respected. It is entirely up to my client what level they want shown, from no images at all posted to maybe just a few with clothes.

the STUDIO

COMING IN FROM OUT OF TOWN?


Bow Island is a 35 minute jaunt from Medicine Hat, so you get a nice drive through the country before your session. :)


If you happen to arrive early or are famished after your session, there is a cute little bakery or other services in town you can check out. There is even a Tim Hortons. (a nice surprise one is in little old Bow Island!)


MY LOCATION

#8, 706 Centre St. Bow Island, AB


BVE Studio is very easy to get to. Basically you turn north at the only set of lights in town and I am in the brown brick building on the second floor.

My space is built for photos. Beautiful natural light, clean simple sets, even the most flattering paint colour for all skin tones (yes, I really thought of everything!).
