A poem about distraction

(if they want to)
Clothing has no gender and textures can help you find out who you are! In this session, I photographed Brian in a few glorious gowns and skirts to show that all bodies can wear whatever they want and everyone deserves to safely explore different ways of showing up! At our Winnipeg studio, this is a MUST - safety, security and comfort are all the name of the game so you can show up as your best self -whatever that looks like to you!

Being soft in the world is hard.

As much as I wish I could change your life for you, it is not my life to change.

Every client that comes to me apologizes countless times for just existing and every time it breaks my heart, but through the power of photography and showing up for oneself we see the apologies shift.

One of our amazing hairstylists & makeup artists came in for her own session to feel like a bad ass punk princess - we danced around in the floofs, sat “like a lady” on the sofa, and played with some beautiful flowers. Take a peek at Sandy’s session.

Until - a poem by Teri Hofford

Why you should have your photo taken 1000 different ways.

Our body is just a series of shapes that our brain assigns meaning to. This means that in order to change your body image, you need to change your brain - NOT your body. I break this down in today’s blog post.

If you are diversifying your portfolio, you don’t need to tell people what a good person you are for doing it - I break down the problematic ways in which photographers tend to look for validation in their work and how it can be harmful to their clients.

On the blog today I am chatting about FAT - the fear of FAT, being FAT, and photographing FAT!

Boudoir photography is great, but it comes with some unspoken expectations that can make people feel like “it’s not for them” when in fact, EMPOWERMENT photography leaves it open for people to decide how, when, and where their story is being told!

A quick little summary of my Quotes That Changed My Life! project from January!

Our Jan 29th Round up!

Have you ever considered what it means to be A CREATIVE vs. BE CREATIVE and then understand why we lose creativity? In this post I share some of my thoughts and feelings about the subject.

As photographers we are trained to photograph in a very binary way - this can make it feel like we are forcing our clients into a very specific box - one that may not feel comfortable to them. In this session, we broke the box because power is not reserved only for men.

How would you treat your body differently if it was a garden?
