Indian Restaurant in town,owns this Venue and cater it as it has  a huge kitchen there too. So when you go inside of this place you are blown away!!Definitely a night to remember, I stayed till midnight and that is when the dancing just started!!. Well done Jacki and Shannon. and team. You rocked this event.

Business Women Updates

 

Women in business also need to have their sessions of course and Camille came to us for hers.We like to have you come in after you have had your hair and makeup session as well .A consult is essential to knowing what kind of a look you need and the places you need to place your "face" in your marketing campaigns.It isn't just one look and we know that making the most of your time with us really adds value.Our business sessions are booking now in mid July so give us a call and get on top of things before the Fall comes!!

Our Auction Fundraiser Donation for the Art Gallery 2012

One of the things I hear from our Boudoir clients is how much they LOVE making this a special day for themselves.I LOVE hearing that too.So when you are planning your session treat yourself and pamper yourself as you only will do this a few times ( we hope) in your life! Frances came to us when she won the bid on the fundraiser we did for PG Art Gallery's" Menagerie" Event last month. Her Hair was by Jody at CRAZE (562-6226) and her Makeup was by Heather at Les Beaux Visages Salon (563-3788). Thanks ladies you did a beautiful job.Her  cute hair piece was made by a friend..Your husband is going to love his pic. ssshhh if you know him don't tell him as it is a Christmas gift.

Any Day Now.

Oh I LOVE Boudoir and double that when it is for a new Momma to be.
This was such a beautiful session that we did for our Bridal Winner from Storybook Wedding Show back in

January. She looked radiant as you can see.Thanks so much to Renata at La Tienda who did her hair in this very 50s ish style and to Crystal of Blessings Studio who did the makeup.Both ladies put their talents in with us to give a wonderful experience which she just can not say enough positive things about.She said "everyone should do it , even my Mom!!" Hear that Mom ...or soon Grand Mom (for the 3rd time!) I think that would be super!!  And we are super excited because in a couple weeks we will be seeing her back again with her little bundle of joy!!Our Winner's Boudoir Sessionhttps://www.facebook.com/crystal.desharnais.9?ref=ts&fref=ts

Newborn Week!!

Baby Arianna

Maybe it is because I do so many boudoir sessions ( someone
said to me) but I have been also doing as many ( not quite)
newborn/baby sessions!! But that isn't always true - right??

Just thought I'd share this pic that  Amy's husband John took
for me on my NIKON D300 at the end our newborn session.
We were all exhausted...except Arianna this past week.
My excuse: it was one of 3 newborn sessions this week!!

Thanks John and Amy and yes you too Arianna!You were
fun to work with.

Pretty in Pink Plus

Introducing one of our newest sets!! Pretty in Pink.How cute is this?
Our first session on this set and boy did she have fun.It is a surprise for her husband so if you know her
please keep it to yourself until after the end of August. She didn't think he'd be looking here ( but he will after!!) Hair done by Erin at Contours and Makeup by Les Beaux Visages - Linda. Beautiful job everyone!!

Hottest Gift for the Groom

Another lucky gal from our Bridal Show came in for her session.She had been wondering what to give her fiance for their July Wedding. I think he will be very happy with what you came up with!

A Marilyn Moment

Our Silent Auction Gal Julia made it this week.

She was so much fun and gorgeous on our Private Suite Set.We both just loved the look she has in this 

one and has that Marilyn Monroe look of being "caught" between poses. I think her husband is going to love it just as much.

Kris Kringle CDC Winner

We had a wonderful time with Cindy who came to us via a Kris Kringle CDC Silent Auction we supported in Dec.
So BIG thank you to Jody and Brooke at CRAZE
Hair and Salon on Tamarack St ( tucked in between Sylvan Learning Centre and Leslie's' Pet Parlor across from Value Village) for donating their talents doing her hair and makeup. Have to tell you Cindy's husband LOVED her hair and was very taken with all her images today when they saw them for the first ( and 4 & 5th times!!).
So next year ladies watch out for this HOT item as I think it will be talked about alot and the bidding will
be something you will want to get in on and WIN! Supporting a great cause to top it off!

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!!

Theatre NorthWest Winefest Auction Bid Boudoir Session

In December, we put an Auction Item up for a fundraiser for the Theatre Northwest Wine-fest. This is the Lucky Lady who received it as a gift.

BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE - BE A DIVA

Well this is so exciting for all of our customers who have been asking and now for the first time in Prince George an exclusive experience with our Studios - Boudoir for all ages!
Women really are raving not only how much fun they are having but also the power it has given them to see themselves in such a wonderful sensual and classy way. Yes, they also say how nervous they are at first to "do it" but honestly each of one you have also told me how that goes away after a few minutes once you start to see how I see you through the lens. You have to experience it for yourself ladies! ( Big hint here for you to drop to the people in your life that you want to have one of these sessions included in your stocking!!) we do gift certificates. We have so much to show and tell you so give us a call and come see for yourself!!
We have more exciting news coming up next week so watch out !
