Boudoir shoots are one of my favourite things to be a part of! They are fun, daring and sometimes even a little nerve racking for the models. Let's face it, every woman wants to feel sexy and beautiful. Remember -those are two different things. This was a flawless day filled with amazingly talented women. First, let me introduce you to Jessilynn from www.jessilynnwongphotography.com. Jessilynn is a very creative, inspiring photographer that goes beyond looking through the lens. Her assistant, Kinga Gacek is the glue that holds all the pieces together..seamlessly, might I add. Check her out on IG @photography_K.G
And last, but definitely not least is Sheila our model/blogger. She is modern day gal who is OH-SO smart and very beautiful! Sheila started a blog called 'SMALL GIRL MEDIUM CITY' which has just exploded over time. Check out Sheila, all her girls and their articles representing Toronto and their adventures at www.smallgirlmediumcity.com.
Now let me take you behind the scenes of a boudoir shoot. This was my domain, some may say it's cramped but I prefer to call it cozy...
Even though it was 8 am I blasted my tunes (on a portable speaker, thanks baby) to gear Sheila up for her moment. She loved it! We sang along to Jay Z and giggled. It was raw girl time. It doesn't get any better! The panic was passing and the excitement was starting to surface.
Here are some close ups of jewelry and Sheila rocking those booties.
Nothing says boudoir like long, toned legs.
A couple of shots of Jessilynn and Kinga collaborating.
As I mentioned above, boudoir shoots are something every person should do. The experience challenges you to go against that little demon voice inside that we all hear from time to time. It allows you an outlet to release that sexual , sensual and confident self. It makes you feel in control and powerful...it's truly an experience you can only understand once you've done it.
Here are some final prints of Sheila. If you can't get enough of her check out my LOOKBOOK images under Boudoir.
