Be True to You } Pink Blush Boudoir Edmonton YEG
Change starts with truth.
I’m not quite sure where to begin, but I feel like I need to get something off my chest.
This is something that I’ve been struggling with over the last few years, that I feel has been greatly impacting my business and my ability to help other women.
I’m always telling my clients to be good to themselves, by taking care of their hearts and their health. So many women feel they are not worthy of love, and are stuck in their shell without speaking their truth due to their own self doubts. Boudoir is an amazing release of that.
In the first five years of my business, I was full of passion and love for my work. I gave my business every ounce of energy that I had, so that I could help it develop and be successful. I definitely accomplished a lot, and looking back and I am really proud of that.
But some other things were not a priority - mainly, myself. I have talked to many entrepreneurs and I know I am not alone in this. We pour our heart and soul into a business, and it’s very easy to stop taking care of our own needs. We start to make choices every day: yoga or work? Time with friends, or work? We consistently choose work, and lose precious balance.
I am of course no exception. In that time, I totally lost touch with myself, and I stopped taking care of my health completely. I stopped going to the gym. I stopped going to yoga. I never saw my friends. I stopped turning to my personal meditative practice and prayer when I needed guidance, something that used to give me so much peace.
This eventually brought me to a place where I felt completely drained and burnt out. I thought I was losing all passion for the work that I do, and even considered quitting at times, because my exhaustion was making me question myself. It’s an easy mistake to make; our passion is a tiny sun within us, and it can burn out. The symptoms of burnout are different for everyone, for me I felt a lot of anxiety and actual physical pain. Headaches and even bouts of depression were inevitable, because my body was trying to tell me something.
The signals got loud enough that I knew something had to change, and I began an intense process of self reflection. I began making different micro choices. My business is my priority now more than ever, but I also know something I didn’t before: I am a necessary tool to my business. And any savvy entrepreneur knows they have to take care of their tools. The happier I am, the better my work is and the happier my clients are. I am in a people business, and when I am feeling amazing, it’s catching.
So, over the last year, I’ve been making some big changes to keep this machine running to it’s top potential.
Here’s what I have been doing:
Getting back into my meditative practice. I am reconnecting with myself in a major way.
Taking better care of my vessel; eating nutritious food, quitting smoking, going to the gym and yoga.
Spending time with my friends. Carving out even an hour a week with someone non work related has allowed me to nurture old friendships and build new ones.
Listening to podcasts and other influencers who provide value and ideas for my continued growth
Most importantly, I had to address some serious past trauma. I did suffer some abuse growing up, and this I think has been the root of all of my self care or lack thereof. I have gone to lots of therapy over the years, but never actually confronted anyone about this - I had no closure. That I would say has been the most painful and difficult part of this process, but also the most rewarding because I feel a huge weight off of my shoulders.
Last but not least, I began very Intentionally walking the difficult path to self acceptance. I have had to face the fact that the way that I was feeling was a direct result of me not loving myself, just as I encourage my clients to do. To me, shooting boudoir isn’t just about taking pretty pictures. There’s much more to it than that. I realize now that I have been given a gift; I see the beauty in others that they don’t see for themselves. I now understand that my lack of self-worth was hurting my ability to help other women. How can I truly show another woman what I see in her if I can’t see my own worthiness?
It is not easy to make these changes, but I’m finally starting to realize how much this was affecting me. My anxiety is subsiding, my body pain is virtually gone. my mind is becoming clearer, and best of all I’m starting to feel that burning passion for my work again. But this time, with better balance.
For the past few years, I felt like I have struggled to connect with my clients in a deeper way. I finally feel that now I’m being truly honest with myself, and with the people around me. I can be open, and more able to help others. To anyone who is reading this who might be suffering from anxiety, depression or pain: if you are still carrying your past traumas, I highly recommend trying to find a way to release them, you can set yourself free.
I still have a long road of healing a head of me, but at least now the wheels are turning forward. I wish to continue on this path of healing, so that I can go on to bring more value to my clients. Often the way that we feel about ourselves is due to the projections of others who also suffer. We make what other people say or how they treat us become our truth. In releasing these fallacies, we have the opportunity to truly shine and see how wonderful we really are.

Celebrating International Women's Day } Pink Blush Boudoir Edmonton YEG
International Women's Day.
Today has been a beautiful celebration of women on social media. We have been smiling ear to ear all day, reading the posts of our wonderful clients and friends who are sharing stories, love and support. It made us wonder, how did it all begin?
We took to Wikipedia to find out, and put on our researcher hats. Our research was very brief, because we like looking at makeup tutorials better. Seriously, they are addictive when your job is to style and photograph women for shoots!
So, the first “Women’s day” was held on February 28, 1909 by a socialist party in New York. The following year, it was suggested that this become a full conference, and eight years later women gained suffrage in Russia, and it was turned into a national holiday way over there. This day was celebrated largely in communist and social countries until 1975, where it was adopted by the united nations.
If this is starting to remind you of that hilarious show drunk history, we won’t blame you. Please History channel, do an episode on women’s day.
Anyways, International Women’s Day has roots in socialism, but it’s grown into something much bigger than a political movement. Women’s day could be turned into a debate on politics for sure, but to us we feel that it doesn’t need to be that complicated. Women are awesome, let’s celebrate them. Mothers, sisters, friends, daughters, managers, peers, mentors, motivators, we are really feeling the good vibes of this day.
We do what we do because to us, it’s women’s day every day. When our clients eyes light up when they see themselves posed beautifully in our luxurious studio, it really makes our day. We’ve done shoots with women from 18-80, and honestly while sexuality is a part of it, to us boudoir is a deeper thing. Yes it’s sexy, but it’s also empowering. There’s something about the act of choosing to do an act of self-love like immortalizing your body in stunning photos that is so good for the soul.
But don’t take our word for it. Our client Miss G is a repeat customer because to her, it’s a huge confidence boost:
“Boudoir for me is empowering, because it’s actually a really indulgent thing to do. Finding beautiful outfits, getting my hair and makeup done, being pampered by the ladies at Boudoir Pink Blush makes me feel like a rock star. Seeing the end result and having those beautiful photos is an experience I recommend every woman do at least once in their life. While my husband adored his wedding boudoir album, I think I enjoyed it just as much!! It’s really easy for us to be so hard on ourselves, to criticize every lump and bump on our bodies, but every time I see the images I am blown away. Is that really me, do I really look like that? It’s amazing!”
Here are some images of miss G enjoying her gorgeous new hair extensions by The Extensionist. We styled them and they were lots of fun to play with!
Fishnets } Pink Blush Boudoir Photography Edmonton YEG

Im so in love with fishnets right now. It's funny how we go through fazes in life. In my early 20's I loved them and then I got over them, but now Im back. A pair of high waisted fishnets can help hide some flaws and add an edgy feel to your shoot. Even some of the full body pieces are pretty cool. I highly recommend bringing a pair for your shoot. Enjoy these hot images of Miss R.
