Meet Shelly – shy and cute with a passion for photography, art and everything creative. When we first chatted about a concept for her shoot, she loved the idea of “bridesmaid boudoir” and was excited to make it quirky, fun and different from traditional boudoir photography …
Jenn and I recently met up with Kristina, Bill and their little man Brayden for their family hike engagement shoot. Although it was a beautiful day, the chilly wind eventually brought tears to our eyes, so we cut the walk short and headed to a nearby playground for some family fun – and I thought my kids were fast!
Jenna and Jeff’s wedding is set for this fall at the amazing Grand Pre Winery. After learning about their love of wine and cozy nights relaxing on the sofa, combined with the fact that Jeff would soon be leaving for Afghanistan, we decided to keep things indoors and planned an engagement shoot in the comfort of their beautifully decorated home. We had a great time getting to know the couple and ended up staying well past midnight while sampling a variety of phenomenal wines. Proof that it’s easy to lose track of time when you’re having a lot of fun (mixed with a glass or two of your favorite grapes) …
This bride-to-be wanted to give her fiancé something different, something a little more sexy and fun than your typical wedding day gift. Her photos turned out to be a mix of super cute & fun to downright sexy. After all, this isn’t just a shoot… it’s an event where clients are pampered with professional hair and make-up and treated like celebrities for a few hours while they do their own personal covergirl shoot with the end result being a magazine-quality spread.

Great stuff, as usual, Jeff. Your boudoir stuff is some of the best I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot. Keep it up, Man! PS, check your email.
Where do I sign up?? What a fantastic idea for a gift – I had no idea what boudoir was. Incredible photography! I think that I can pull my girlfriends together for a collective … otherwise I’m solo 
Amazing work!
Good luck with the Boudoir Collective buddy – the Chronicle Herald article is great!
Love it Jeff! And congrats on the Chronicle Herald!
Jeff had a fun idea to surprise his wife with a private studio shoot for their date night. It got me thinking – I spend so much time with engagement sessions, weddings and boudoir, that I didn’t know what to call this – the “married shoot” or the “we said yes shoot”? Thanks Jeff for reminding me that married couples like to have fun too.
Ashley and Jeff share a love for cycling, so for their engagement shoot, we had to capture this active couple in action (and we loved that they sported matching spandex for part of their shoot) …

Love Love Love the pictures
what a fantastic session! i love when couples incorporate parts of their lives into the engagement sessions.
Love all the photos especially the tire photo, Jeff – clever logo placement! Great theme!
From a recent boudoir session that certainly reflected a sense of intimacy and sexiness, and also one of my favourites from the shoot.

Love this shot, dawg! Great work!
I really like the clean lines of the wall and floor in this shot. They frame the shot really well and seem to accentuate her softness. Beautiful lighting too, congratulations!

boudoir : a woman’s dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room … and what better day to showcase one of my “knock your socks off” boudoir sessions than on valentine’s day. Having these photos made is a growing trend for today’s brides, being at one of the most beautiful times in their lives. But some women often gift these images to that special someone, while others choose to have the session done just for themselves. My “Knock Your Socks Off” boudoir sessions are tasteful and classy, yet sexy and fun … and who wouldn’t want to have a day of pampering with hair and makeup followed by an rockin’ photography session that’s totally designed to be all about you …
A big, big thanks to my wonderful client for allowing me to share some of her images … she absolutely rocked her session – all of these images came from her 2 hour session (I like variety)!! Please contact me if you’re interested in learning more about my knock your socks off boudoir pricing and packages.

Sexy! I love all the instruments in the background!
Great work jeff, I have been meaning to go on a coures for boudoir photography thats run here in the uk, Some great shots love the first one, nice eyes, and what a beautiful woman.
What a beautiful woman, you really captured her alluring appeal, amazing pictures!
JEFF!!! Sooooo amazing! I am so impressed that this was your first boudoir shoot! You knocked my socks off and it wasn’t even for/of me!
Wow Wow Wow!!! These are beautiful Jeff! She looks simply stunning and has to be thrilled – awesome work.
Jeff, man. These are great. She must be completely thrilled.
yes! nice work. beautiful setting and your post work makes these even better.
I was wondering on prices for photos
For most clients, this is a once in a lifetime photo shoot. The concept of a boudoir shoot does not necessarily have to be the stereotypical sexy poses in lingerie. It’s about treating yourself to a fun day of pampering and leaving with a sexy and elegant collection of images that reflect your own unique sense of style and self. Sessions include a hair and make-up artist/stylist helping to create different looks, and each session includes many wardrobe changes to give you a diverse selection of beautiful images to place in a custom-designed album or to showcase as fine art prints.
I’ve seen such a great response to boudoir photography over the past year – more and more women are treating themselves to this once in a lifetime shoot that’s all about them. I think a lot of people don’t really understand what this type of shoot is about – they see a bit of skin and lace and are either turned-off by it, or think – “that’s not me”. But this shoot can be whatever you want it to be: it can be fun & flirty, sexy or even conservative if that’s your style. With hair and makeup by the fabulous Alicia Melanson, followed by your own private shoot and ending with a personalized “magazine spread” presented in a custom designed album – it’s simply an unforgettable experience, one that Jenn and I have a great time shooting. This post is the perfect example – one of my gorgeous clients who came by the studio to create a sexy, fun and completely different gift for her husband’s 50th birthday – and she had a wonderful time doing it, so it wasn’t just “for him” …

Drop dead gorgeous! Wow. That’s quite a memorable birthday gift! Simply stunning.
Beautiful! Love this series.
Over the holidays, Jodi flew in from Newfoundland (sans Gabe) and stopped by the studio for a few shots of “the bump”. She was adorable and we had a blast … and I’m happy to report that since our shoot, Finn Macphail Woollam came into the world at 7 lbs. 2 oz. Congrats to the new parents!
