Welcome Back

Diane came back to us with her family after a number of  years since her last session and alot of changes in their family . She looked even more radiant and that was probably because of her grandchildren.. You can see how gorgeous they are.

 Thanks so much to those that hired our studio and brought us back together again quite by serendipity.

For our past clients we sure would love to see you again too!

Hair and Makeup done by Razor's Edge.Beautiful job.

So Cute....couldn't resist at Tops and Bottoms

Yesterday I dropped in just to drop off some biscotti to my friend Susan at Tops and Bottoms ( after we had been to yoga together at Chinook at 630am and a coffee after at Margos on Victoria St). Great start to our day. I thought it would be a quick in and out but this is what I saw when I "popped" in! OMG it is SO CUTE.. I want to see someone come in with this on cause I have some wonderful ideas for you!!! It comes in sizes up to G cup. and you have two options of panties ..though I think the one with the boning is so hot!
Do drop in and see Susan at Tops and Bottoms on 2nd and Victoria
 and this sweet little Conturelle number go home with you!

Weightwatchers Draw Today Bringings Double the Joy

Oh what a wonderful way to start the day .
Once again we gave a full makeup and hair makeover  plus boudoir session with
Philomena Hughes Photography . Jody at Craze Salon will be the makeup and hair artist.
 The winner was Sandra!! Her Mom was absolutely THRILLED...and screamed when she heard her daughter's name called.Paddy did the draw at the  Saturday morning  Weight Watcher meeting ( the one I regularly attend) and received hugs from both her Mom ( upper right pic), me ( bottom left) and the previous winner (bottom right) from last year.Fern knows how much Sandra will love her experience.We will be doing the session the first week of January. After they both told me separately that they wished were hoping that the other would win it.The icing on the cake is that Kathy is one of my swimming buddies so it just makes me smile ( alot all day so far!). I know Kathy feels she has won just because Sandra did.
I love the expressions on those around Sandra and Kathy too! Thanks everyone.Next year we are opening it to all members of WW  here in PG at the 1st & Tabor location..Details will be announced at all the meetings in 2013.!! Congrats again Sandra!

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.

Summer 2012 Brides Boudoir Session

We had another Summer Bride in for her Boudoir Session for her Fiance.
It was a blast and her 2 aunts came to the preview session and couldn't believe
their eyes how beautiful she looked.Tissues!! Loved loved the lashes.

Hair and Makeup by Core.Nice work there girls.

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!

Bride to Be....Boudoir Session

What a gift this Bride is giving her Groom.
The Boudoir Session was today and tomorrow she is writing a major exam! Wow.Amazing. She looked
stunning in her baby blue teddy and pearls.
It was a delight to photograph you again and
I wish you both all the best on your wedding
day!

Boudor Winner from our Weight Watchers Draw Dec 24,2011

also did their maternity images) so she is thrilled

hair up do..with La Tienda!! Our second prize
winner...was in today having her session and received
another set included and as this is a surprise for her new
husband we can't release the name..but congrats anyway!

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.
