Winter Beauty | Creative Shoot | Stony Plain Photographer

This was a concept in the back of my mind for a long time, one of the many that I had jotted down and put away. Then I had the privilege of meeting an amazing family who's daughter Amber just happened to be a dancer. Her mom and I got talking and she started showing me past costumes , like any proud mother would do, this blue outfit instantly caught my eye. That was it I got a hold of the lovely Darcy with Chantilly Lace Designs and she handcrafted a frosty blue crown to match. The session went amazing with the help of Darlene from Darlene Brink Makeup Artistry and Ambers mom. It ended up being one of our coldest days and we became a tad limited on what I was willing to put Amber through but she was a trooper and we got what we could as fast as we could.

Beauty At Any Age | Over 50 is fabulous | Glamour Photographer

It truly amazes me the restriction we put on ourselves and others. I really wanted to push for women everywhere to recognize and appreciate beauty at every age and stage of life.

Get photographed, capture the true beauty of your spirit for generations to see and hold on to. Let's teach our daughters that beauty has no expiry or limits!

When really thinking about wanting glamour and boudoir to be my focus this year I had to stop and think about why women shy away from being photographed, especially over 50. We are our own worst critics, there is always a reason not to be photographed but why..... every stage and age is beautiful in it's own way.

Women over 50 have accomplished so much, have an appreciation for life like no other and so much spirit to share. These are our role models, the women we look up to, the ones that laid so much out before us and their beauty should be celebrated more then anything!

So where do I start......what about my MOM.

I took a photo of my mom years ago when I very first stared, it is beautiful and we both love it. She is smiling and radiating, it truly showcases her and you can feel her spirit coming out in the photograph. She has since wanted me to take more photos, I have put it off always to busy. Recently she made a comment, "We need to do it before I get to old, maybe it's to late", WHAT.....when does that ever matter. That was it, this needed to happen, we arranged hair and makeup (big thank you to HP Makeup Artistry and Tabitha Weiting with Evolution Salon) and the session was on.

May these images remind my mom and women everywhere that over 50 is fabulous! Don't shy away, let your spirit shine and be captured for all to see. You Deserve It!

Celebrating Glamor | Alberta Photographer

Sometimes you just need to feel like a rock star and celebrate you! 

Lot's of women turn to boudoir to celebrate themselves and be reminded of how beautiful they truly are...........but what about the women who aren't quite ready for the full boudoir experience. There is always a reason to celebrate and feel good in your skin. How truly amazing to have a timeless photo that you can look back on for years to come. Not new but highly overlooked, "The Glamor Session".

 

This session is for you and all about you at any age and any stage in the game. A way to celebrate your beauty and feel good in every aspect. Why do 1 year old's only get to celebrate? Birthdays rock at every age. Your grad, your wedding great moments but now let's celebrate conquering life. True beauty and feeling beautiful is timeless and I think documenting this is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.

I love boudoir and would highly recommend it to anyone it is the best high you will ever have, Glamor is just another avenue of it and is just as great! 

We associate stigmas to the word boudoir but really it is showcasing beauty in all forms and all styles.

I will be doing a few of these example posts over the next while to show off exactly what I mean and how empowering it can be.

Are you ready to celebrate YOU!
