Yesterday we partnered with Chez Rose Lingerie located a short drive from Ottawa in Carleton Place. Why pay city prices? Shop from Wendy’s online collection, or drop in and she can order anything you want from her extensive catalogs. Chez Rose Lingerie has ordered a set of catalogs for us to have in studio as well for your convenience.

Stop into Chez Rose at 230 Bridge St in Carleton Place and ask about our promotion! Only available in store!

Burlesque Boudoir

Last week while in Nashville, I had an amazing opportunity to shoot a boudoir session with a local burlesque dancer. She was not only gorgeous, but brought some of her stage costumes with her to the studio, which made for some fantastic retro style images!

The term boudoir is derived from the French verb bouder, which means “to pout”…on that note, how fabulous are those red lips?

As I’ve mentioned before on the blog, I had the time of my life in Nashville, and being able to create images with such a beautiful, strong woman was the icing on the cake!

Boudoir Session Sneak Peak

This week, while in Nashville this week for the Digital Wedding Photography conference, we had the honour of attending a fabulous education seminar taught by the one and only Critsey Rowe of Couture Boudoir. I was eager to try out some of the new techniques that she presented, and had the opportunity to photograph a few sessions at a studio that evening.

The thing I find most rewarding about boudoir photography is seeing the confidence that builds in a client during a session. Most women start out with nerves and jitters, but once they see their true beauty highlighted, the rest of the session goes flawlessly because they positively glow.

The woman I had the pleasure of working with for this shoot was not a model, but a Nashville wife and mother who decided it was high time she did something for herself, and we were both thrilled with the results! Take a peek:

A big Ottawa New Year’s toast!

With January off to a great start, I figured it was a good time to sit down and thank all of the amazing people who have helped to make this last year so successful.

To our wonderful wedding clients, a warm thank you for choosing us to capture the most important day of your lives. Being recently married, we know that making choices during wedding planning is not always easy and we are so incredibly thankful to have had such fantastic folks to work with. It is always fun for us to be integrally involved in each wedding, and we’ve had the pleasure of photographing some amazing weddings in 2009.

To our boudoir clients, a big round of applause and thanks needs to be sent your way for being fun, fearless, and willing to push the boundaries of one’s usual comfort (and fully-clothed) zone. It is very rewarding to see the evolution of a boudoir shoot and of course the best one is seeing our client’s delight in the final images.

To our maternity and infant clients, a big thank you for bringing such love and preciousness into the world this year! In a time when there is much to grumble about, the sheer innocence and beauty of a newborn baby makes one remember what is truly important in life.

We have some big, exciting things in the works for the upcoming year, including a visit to Nashville, Tennessee next week for the Digital Wedding Forum (DWF) annual photography conference. With the holiday busy-ness and our trip fast approaching, blogging has been on the back burner for a bit, but we promise to get some posts done from our trip. We’re looking forward to learning new things and meeting some great people, not to mention trying some legendary Southern food!

For now, have the Happiest of New Year’s and we’ll see you here again in 2010!
