Guess Who is Sixty?

Well we have been expecting this lady for some time as one of our previous models and hairstylist told us all about her and how she would be "perfect"person to do one of our sessions to celebrate her 60th!! Wow, certainly doesn't look it.

So have to tell you I am now so looking forward to my 60s because of this woman. She had such a wonderful sense of self awareness and confidence that I loved.

Thanks Laurie and Leanne at Razors Edge for your fine work on this lovely lovely lady and for your encouragement to bringing her to us.

Outfit from Tops & Bottoms

Audrey Hepburn Inspiration

This Boudoir session for the love of her life was such alot of fun today.We did most of the work in lingerie but then on the next set it
was this dress he had bought for her that we worked with.So glad she brought it in.
The inspiration for this image was from an old Audrey Hepburn image my client had seen. Are you inspired enough to come for your
boudoir Plus session?

Tops & Bottoms Boudoir Session

What alot of fun we had again today starting when Susanne,owner of Tops & Bottoms (Bras that fit) came to start the session off with her employee in this shot. Her employee was absolutely nervous but look at the amazing image we were able to create. Can you believe she is a mother of 4 girls from age 6 -15?!! Wow.
We are now creating the book that you can see when you go for your bra fitting at Tops & Bottoms on 2nd Ave here in Prince George. Tell Susanne you saw her picture here!!

Valentine Draw Winner.....What did I win?

For the past month we have had a Promo for Valentine's Day at RAZORS EDGE .When we called the winner she had no idea what she put her name in for, she just always enters draws. Surprise. She won a 3 set boudoir experience including hair and makeup by Razors Edge!

But she was very excited as she shopped at Tops and Bottoms for a couple of outfits, had her hair and makeup done with RAZORS EDGE then came here to our Studio for the afternoon session.

Well after her session, she said she had such a wonderful time but was embarrassed at her first reaction. Well not to worry....your husband is going to LOVE the images . But you will probably check out what you put your name in for next time right!!

Purolator to the Rescue

This boudoir session is a gift for her fiancé whom she will marry this March in a tropical location.One of his great loves is for his country ( besides his future wife to be!) and so this flag was ordered from Vancouver, but it had not arrived by the time she had got to our studio from the salon. The address had been written incorrectly (15th not 5th Ave) by the company sending it to her. When she arrived from the salon looking beautiful she let me know. When she said Purolator had it but getting in touch with the driver was impossible I knew I could help out. I had the cell number of the driver as I was on his route so a quick call resolved the problem and the flag was delivered to us just on time! Purolator literally saved her bottom literally! Thanks Purolator!!!
Hair and Makeup by Razors Edge.

Tops & Bottoms & Boudoir

If you don't already know "Tops & Bottoms" is Prince George's exclusive lingerie shop that gives women the essential foundations to look their best in everything their wear. Well we certainly know how important it is to have you looking your best when you are doing your Boudoir session.
So we got together with Susanne and Norman who own Tops & Bottoms to do something to showcase their wonderful lines. We spent the day photographing a woman (not a model but could be) showcasing Tops & Bottoms beautiful lingerie in our studio. In a few weeks we will be producing a book for Tops & Bottoms with these images so when you pop into the change room to try on your next new bra etc you will have a chance to see it!
