October Moon Ceremony - The Hunters Moon

As October graces us with its autumnal beauty, the Full Moon arrives to illuminate the mysteries and magic of this transformative season. October’s Full Moon, often called the Hunter’s Moon, shines brightly, urging us to embrace the harvest within and prepare for the darker months ahead. This is a time to gather the lessons of the year, reflect on your journey, and set intentions that will carry you through the coming winter.

Zodiac Insight: Aries Full Moon

This October, the Full Moon lands in the fiery sign of Aries, sparking a wave of courage, action, and self-discovery. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, symbolizing new beginnings, leadership, and a pioneering spirit. Under this Full Moon, you may feel an intense urge to assert yourself, take bold steps, and pursue your passions with vigor.

Aries energy is all about independence and self-empowerment. This Full Moon is an invitation to break free from any limitations, to confront what’s been holding you back, and to step into your true power. It’s a time to ask yourself: Where in my life do I need to take the lead? What bold actions can I take to move closer to my goals?

However, with this fiery energy comes the need for balance. The Sun in Libra, the sign of relationships and harmony, reminds us to consider others as we pursue our desires. Finding the balance between self-assertion and cooperation is key during this Full Moon.

Journaling Prompts for the Aries Full Moon

1. What desires or passions have I been ignoring or suppressing?

2. Where do I need to take bold action in my life?

3. What fears or doubts are holding me back from pursuing my dreams?

4. How can I balance my needs with the needs of others?

5. What new beginnings am I ready to embrace?

6. In what areas of my life do I need to step into a leadership role?

Take some time under the light of the Full Moon to explore these questions. Let your journal be a space for honest reflection and inspired ideas.

Step 3: Reflection and Journaling Take out your journal and choose one or more of the journaling prompts above. Allow the words to flow freely, expressing your deepest thoughts and feelings. This is your time to connect with your inner self and the energy of the Full Moon.

Find Your Divine Feminine: A Boudoir Goddess Journey

Step into the realm of the goddess, where sensuality intertwines with strength, and beauty blossoms from within. In the depths of this sultry photoshoot, a soon-to-be bride indulges in the sweet nectar of self-love, draped in honey and adorned with fruit, embodying the essence of femininity in its purest form.

As a boudoir artist, I've cultivated my craft over countless sessions, each one a testament to the power and allure of the feminine spirit. My work is more than just photography; it's a love letter to the goddess within every woman, celebrating every curve, every imperfection, and every nuance that makes her uniquely divine.

The dark, moody set of this photoshoot serves as the backdrop for a captivating tableau, adorned with a stunning floral wall adorned with butterflies, skulls, and flowers. It's a space where fantasy meets reality, where beauty is redefined and reimagined through the lens of self-love.

But beyond the aesthetic allure lies a deeper purpose – a mission to help women heal their connection with their bodies. In a world that often dictates unrealistic standards of beauty, boudoir photography becomes a form of therapy, a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance that transcends the confines of traditional therapy sessions.

Every detail of this photoshoot is meticulously curated, from the styling to the lighting, to ensure that each woman feels seen, heard, and celebrated in her entirety. Pimples, dimples, hip dips, stretch marks – every "imperfection" is embraced and elevated, transforming them into symbols of strength and resilience.

My goal is simple yet profound: to instill a sense of unshakable self-worth in every woman I work with, to empower her to see herself through the lens of love and acceptance. Through the language of art, we embark on a journey of transformation, where vulnerability becomes our greatest strength, and beauty is redefined on our own terms.

So, to all the babes who don’t know they are babes, it's time to say "damn, I should brag more." Your body is a masterpiece, a temple of divine femininity waiting to be celebrated and adored. And through the art of boudoir photography, we can unlock the beauty that lies within, one stunning image at a time.

Unveiling the Elegance of the Macabre: A Spooky Boudoir Session in Edmonton

As the veil between the worlds thins and the crisp autumn air carries whispers of mystery, my Edmonton-based boudoir studio comes alive with the enchantment of Halloween. This year, in the heart of the season, my muse Leah and my husband became the perfect duo to manifest the allure of the supernatural in a spine-tingling Vampire Halloween Boudoir shoot.

Boudoir, often associated with sensuality and romance, transcends its traditional boundaries in our studio. It's a space where creativity knows no limits and where every woman can explore the depths of her imagination. With Leah as my model, we embarked on a journey into the shadows, blending elegance with the eerie, and proving that even the darkest fantasies can be exquisitely beautiful.

The stage was set, adorned with flickering candles casting dancing shadows upon rich velvets and antique furnishings. Leah, with her porcelain skin and bewitching gaze, embodied the essence of a modern-day vampire queen. Her attire, a delicate balance of lace and leather, whispered secrets of centuries past while hinting at the forbidden desires of the present.

Guided by the vision of this unconventional boudoir session, my husband stepped into the role of collaborator and co-conspirator. Together, we orchestrated a symphony of shadows and light, capturing moments that blurred the lines between reality and the supernatural.

In the midst of the shoot, as crimson lipstick met pale skin and lace veils enveloped Leah's form, we delved into the realm of the macabre. With each click of the camera shutter, we immortalized moments of passion and mystery, weaving a narrative that transcended the boundaries of time and space.

But it wasn't just the aesthetics that made this session extraordinary; it was the exploration of the human psyche and the celebration of individuality. Boudoir photography, in its true essence, is about empowerment and self-expression. It's about embracing every facet of oneself, even the ones that dwell in the shadows.

As the session unfolded, we embraced the unexpected, incorporating elements of blood and gore into our imagery. Yet, amidst the darkness, there was a strange beauty—a beauty that spoke of resilience, of embracing one's inner demons, and of finding strength in vulnerability.

In the end, what emerged from our Spooky Boudoir session was not just a collection of photographs but a testament to the transformative power of art. It was a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unlikely of places and that within each of us lies a story waiting to be told.

As the veil between worlds begins to thin once more, and Halloween draws near, our boudoir studio stands as a sanctuary—a place where fantasies come to life and where the ordinary gives way to the extraordinary. And for Leah, my husband, and myself, the journey into the shadows continues, fueled by the endless possibilities that await within the realm of boudoir photography.

Elevate Your Self-Love Journey with a Boudoir Experience - Alberta Boudoir Studio

In the heart of Alberta, where elegance meets artistry, lies an invitation for every woman: a transformative boudoir photoshoot experience. When you step into my exquisite boudoir studio, you're not just entering a space; you're stepping into a realm that celebrates femininity, strength, and the timeless essence of womanhood. This isn't merely about photographs; it's about rediscovering, embracing, and celebrating the beautiful individual that you are.

The Essence of Self-Love

February is often hailed as the month of love, a time dedicated to expressing affections to cherished ones. Yet, within this broad spectrum of love, there's a niche, a profound sentiment that sometimes remains overshadowed: self-love. As the world around us decorates in shades of romance, we advocate for a different hue: the deep, enriching shade of self-adoration.

Each morning, as you face the mirror, there's a story unfolding - your story. The journey of self-recognition, acceptance, and love is a daily pilgrimage. It's about acknowledging every scar, every curve, every freckle, and embracing them as markers of a unique journey. If this embrace is yet a distant dream for you, consider this boudoir experience as your guiding star. Guided by Toronto's finest and my lens, we'll illuminate the path towards this empowering self-celebration.

The Courage Within

Embarking on a boudoir session is akin to unveiling layers of oneself. It beckons courage, vulnerability, and an innate desire for authenticity. While the thought of posing, of baring one's soul before the camera might be intimidating, remember this: within you lies a reservoir of strength waiting to be tapped. The initial apprehensions, the fleeting doubts - they are but stepping stones towards a more confident you.

I understand the trepidation. Not every angle may feel familiar, not every pose may feel innate. But rest assured, I am here not merely as a photographer but as a companion on this journey. Together, we'll navigate through the nuances, refining each moment, until you stand amidst a symphony of confidence, exclaiming, “I am here, radiant and unapologetically me!”

Beyond Perceived Flaws

In a world often driven by perceptions, it's easy to fall into the trap of self-comparison. Many of us have journeyed down this road, juxtaposing our individuality against societal standards. Yet, in this journey, lies a poignant realization: true beauty emanates from authenticity, not conformity.

Your quirks, your idiosyncrasies, your unique essence - they tell a tale, a narrative that is exclusively yours. And while external voices might sometimes overshadow this narrative, it's essential to remember: those who genuinely love and cherish you see beyond the surface. They witness the sparkle in your eyes, the resilience in your spirit, and the unparalleled beauty of your being.

It's a gentle reminder that while introspection is vital, it's equally essential to view oneself through a lens of compassion, understanding, and love. The critiques, the judgments, often stem from internal dialogues. Redirecting this dialogue towards appreciation can be transformative, paving the way for genuine self-love and acceptance.

The Transformative Power of Boudoir

Boudoir photography, in its essence, is more than just a visual journey. It's an exploration, a celebration, and a testament to one's journey of self-discovery. Every click of the camera, every play of light and shadow, encapsulates a moment, a feeling, a memory.

Allocate a mere five hours, and witness a metamorphosis. Witness how the lens captures not just an image but a story, a spirit, a soul. The perceived imperfections, once viewed through a critical lens, are now celebrated as badges of honor, symbols of resilience, and markers of individuality.

It's a journey towards authenticity. It's about embracing the imperfections, celebrating the quirks, and recognizing the beauty in every nuance. But most importantly, it's about cultivating a relationship with oneself, fostering self-worth, and nurturing self-love.

Embarking on the Journey

As the world whirls in its frenzied pace, amidst expectations, judgments, and fleeting moments, there's a sanctuary awaiting you - a sanctuary of self-love, empowerment, and celebration. This boudoir experience is not just a photoshoot; it's a voyage, a pilgrimage towards self-rediscovery.

So, as the seasons change, as days transform into nights and nights into days, one thing remains constant: the essence of you, radiant, powerful, and beautifully unique. Embrace this essence, celebrate it, cherish it. And when you're ready, when the time feels right, step into my Edmonton studio. Let us embark on this transformative journey together, crafting memories, capturing moments, and celebrating the beautiful tapestry that is you.

Full Moon Ceremony: Harnessing the Energy of the Harvest Moon in Aries

As summer transitions to autumn, the September full moon—known as the Harvest Moon—illuminates the sky, marking a time to gather the fruits of our labor and prepare for the season ahead. This year, the Harvest Moon falls in the bold and fiery sign of Aries, infusing the night with dynamic energy that encourages us to embrace courage, take action, and forge ahead on our personal journeys.

Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is all about new beginnings, leadership, and self-empowerment. Under this full moon, we’re called to reflect on our personal growth, release what no longer serves us, and step boldly into our power. This is a potent time for transformation and setting intentions that align with our true desires.

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to moon rituals, hosting a full moon ceremony at home can be a deeply empowering experience. Below, I’ll guide you through a simple yet profound full moon ceremony you can perform in the comfort of your home, complete with journal prompts to help you tap into the powerful energy of the Aries full moon and harness its potential for personal growth.

What You’ll Need:

• A quiet, sacred space where you won’t be disturbed

• A journal and pen

• A red, white, or silver candle (colors that resonate with Aries and lunar energy)

• Sage, palo santo, or incense for cleansing

• Crystals such as moonstone, carnelian, or clear quartz

• A bowl of water (optional)

• Any objects that hold significance to you (photos, symbols, etc.)

Setting the Stage:

1. Create Your Sacred Space: Begin by setting up your space with intention. Light your candle and place it in the center of your area. Arrange your crystals, bowl of water, and other significant objects around the candle. Visualize creating a circle of protection and sacred energy around you, inviting in the fiery strength of Aries and the nurturing light of the moon.

2. Cleanse Your Space: Light your sage, palo santo, or incense and walk around the room, allowing the smoke to cleanse the energy. As you do this, set the intention to clear away any negativity or stagnant energy, making space for the fresh, bold energy of Aries to enter.

3. Ground Yourself: Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths. Imagine roots growing from your body, grounding you into the earth. Feel the stability and support of the earth beneath you, connecting you to the natural rhythms of the world and the dynamic energy of Aries.

The Ceremony:

1. Welcome the Moon’s Energy: Close your eyes and take a moment to tune into the energy of the full moon in Aries. Visualize its light shining down on you, filling you with its vibrant, assertive energy. Invite the moon’s power to guide you through this ceremony, helping you release what no longer serves you and step into your true power.

2. Reflection & Release: Open your journal and begin by reflecting on the past month. With the influence of Aries, consider where you’ve taken bold steps or where you’ve held yourself back. What challenges have you faced? What lessons have you learned? Write freely, allowing your thoughts to flow. Then, consider what you’re ready to release. What habits, fears, or self-doubts are you ready to let go of under this full moon? Write them down, and as you do, visualize the full moon’s light burning away these obstacles.

   Journal Prompts:

   • How has the energy of Aries influenced my actions and decisions this month?

   • What fears or self-doubts are holding me back from stepping into my full power?

   • What am I ready to release under the bold light of this Aries full moon?

3. Harvest Your Intentions: Shift your focus to what you’ve been working towards. What seeds have you planted, and how are they beginning to grow? The Aries full moon is a time for action—write about your goals and intentions, acknowledging the progress you’ve made and what you’re ready to harvest. Feel gratitude for the courage and strength that have brought you this far, and commit to taking the next steps forward.

   Journal Prompts:

   • What bold actions have I taken towards my goals, and how do I feel about my progress?

   • How can I continue to harness the energy of Aries to pursue my passions?

   • What intentions am I ready to harvest under this fiery full moon?

4. Moon Water Blessing (Optional): If you’ve prepared a bowl of water, hold it up to the moonlight and speak your intentions into it. This water will absorb the dynamic energy of the Aries full moon and can be used in future rituals, or you can simply drink it as a way to internalize the moon’s blessings.

5. Closing the Ceremony: When you feel ready, close your ceremony by thanking the moon, the sign of Aries, and any other energies you’ve called upon. Blow out your candle and take a few moments to sit in silence, integrating the experience. Visualize the circle of protection and sacred energy gently dissolving, leaving you grounded, empowered, and ready to take bold steps forward.

After the Ceremony:

In the days following your ceremony, keep your journal close and pay attention to any signs or synchronicities that may arise. The full moon’s energy often lingers, offering continued insights and guidance. Remember, the Aries full moon is a time of action and empowerment—allow yourself to step fully into your power and embrace the changes that are unfolding in your life.

As you honor the Harvest Moon in Aries, embrace the dynamic energy it brings and let it fuel your journey toward transformation, growth, and abundance. Your path is illuminated with the fiery spirit of Aries and the nurturing light of the moon—step into it with confidence, courage, and the knowledge that you are supported every step of the way. Happy Full Moon, and may your journey be filled with passion, purpose, and endless possibilities.

I hope you enjoyed tonights Moon Ceremony, and these stunning Images of Miss K in the rain room images.

Empowerment and Healing: The Transformative Journey of Boudoir Photography After Abuse

The aftermath of leaving an abusive relationship can leave profound emotional scars on a person, impacting their self-esteem, body image, and overall well-being. As survivors embark on a journey of healing, many discover unique and empowering ways to reclaim their bodies and rebuild their confidence. One such transformative experience is the art of boudoir photography – a powerful tool that allows women to rediscover their strength, beauty, and resilience in the wake of trauma.

Reclaiming Your Body:

Leaving an abusive relationship often involves breaking free from a cycle of control and manipulation, where the survivor's sense of self is eroded over time. Boudoir photography serves as a cathartic process for reclaiming one's body and celebrating its unique beauty. Through carefully crafted images, survivors can see themselves in a new light, divorced from the negative perceptions ingrained by their abuser.

Healing Unkind Words:

Abuse is not only physical; it often involves a barrage of cruel words that leave lasting wounds on a survivor's psyche. Boudoir photography becomes a medium for rewriting this narrative. By choosing poses, settings, and themes that resonate with their true selves, survivors can drown out the echoes of unkind words and replace them with affirmations of strength, resilience, and self-love.

Addressing Emotional Scars:

The emotional scars left by an abusive relationship can run deep, affecting one's sense of worth and trust in others. Boudoir photography provides a safe space for survivors to explore and express their emotions. Through artistic self-expression, women can process and release pent-up feelings, taking a crucial step toward emotional healing.

Rebuilding Confidence:

Rebuilding confidence is a crucial aspect of the healing journey after abuse. Boudoir photography serves as a powerful tool in this process by allowing survivors to see themselves through a lens of empowerment. The process of selecting a wardrobe, collaborating with a photographer, and showcasing their unique beauty can be a catalyst for renewed self-assurance.

Timing is Key:

While boudoir photography can be a profoundly healing experience, survivors need to approach it with caution and readiness. Rushing into this transformative step too soon may inadvertently trigger additional emotional distress. It is advisable to wait until the survivor feels emotionally prepared and consults with a therapist if needed.

Therapeutic Support:

Given the sensitive nature of the healing journey, survivors are encouraged to seek therapeutic support before and after a boudoir photography session. Trained therapists can provide guidance, helping survivors navigate any unexpected emotions or memories that may surface during the process, ensuring a safe and empowering experience.

Choosing the Right Photographer:

Selecting an experienced boudoir photographer is paramount, especially when working with survivors of trauma. A skilled professional will approach the session with sensitivity, empathy, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by those who have experienced abuse. Communication and trust between the survivor and the photographer are key to creating a safe and empowering environment.

Boudoir photography emerges as a transformative step in the healing journey after leaving an abusive relationship. Through artistic self-expression, survivors can reclaim their bodies, heal the wounds of unkind words, address emotional scars, and rebuild confidence. However, it's crucial to approach this empowering experience with care, waiting until the survivor is emotionally ready and seeking therapeutic support when needed. By choosing the right photographer, survivors can embark on a journey of self-discovery, embracing their strength and beauty as they reclaim their lives.

Embrace the Magic of the August Full Moon: A Journey of Healing and Reflection

August is here, and with it comes the luminous full moon, casting its silvery glow across the night sky. Known as the Sturgeon Moon, this full moon brings a powerful opportunity for healing, reflection, and transformation. Whether you're a seasoned moon lover or just starting to explore its magic, this is the perfect time to harness its energy for personal growth and rejuvenation.

Focus on Healing: Embrace Your Inner Strength

The August full moon encourages us to delve deep into our inner worlds, uncovering and addressing wounds that need healing. It's a time to focus on self-care, self-love, and self-compassion. Here are some areas to concentrate on during this lunar phase:

1. Emotional Healing: Release pent-up emotions and let go of past hurts. Acknowledge your feelings, and give yourself permission to feel and heal.

2. Forgiveness: Forgive yourself and others. Holding onto grudges only weighs you down. Letting go can free your spirit and open your heart to new possibilities.

3. Self-Worth: Boost your self-esteem and remind yourself of your intrinsic worth. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and recognize your unique qualities.

Tips for Your Own Moon Ceremony

Creating a moon ceremony is a beautiful way to connect with the lunar energy and set intentions for healing and growth. Here’s a simple guide to help you create a magical experience:

1. Prepare Your Space: Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Cleanse the area with sage or palo santo to remove any negative energy.

2. Set Your Intentions: Write down what you want to heal and release. Be specific and heartfelt. Place your intentions under a crystal or candle as a focal point for your ceremony.

3. Meditate and Reflect: Spend some time in meditation, focusing on your breath and visualizing the moon’s light surrounding and healing you. Reflect on your intentions and feel the emotions that arise.

4. Release and Let Go: Safely burn the paper with your intentions (if you feel comfortable doing so) or bury it in the earth as a symbolic gesture of release.

5. Close with Gratitude: End your ceremony by expressing gratitude for the healing process and the moon’s guidance. Thank yourself for taking the time to focus on your well-being.

Journal Prompts for the Moon Ceremony

Journaling during the full moon is a powerful way to gain clarity and insight. Here are three prompts to guide your reflections:

1. What emotional wounds am I ready to heal and release?

   • Reflect on past experiences that have caused pain. Write about how they have impacted you and what steps you can take to heal.

2. In what areas of my life do I need to forgive myself or others?

   • Consider where forgiveness is needed. Write a letter (you don’t have to send it) to yourself or someone else, expressing your feelings and offering forgiveness.

3. How can I celebrate my unique qualities and achievements?

   • List your strengths, talents, and accomplishments. Reflect on how these qualities have shaped who you are today and how you can continue to honor them.

As the August full moon graces the sky, take this time to honor yourself and your journey. Embrace the healing energy it offers and allow yourself to transform under its light. Remember, you are powerful, worthy, and endlessly magical. Happy moon gazing! 🌕✨

Feel free to personalize your ceremony and journal prompts. The most important thing is to follow what feels right for you. Enjoy the process and let the moon's magic guide you on your path to healing and self-discovery.

Debunking Boudoir Myths: What to Really Expect During Your Session

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome to my cozy boudoir studio in the heart of Edmonton. Today, I want to address some common myths about boudoir photography and shed light on what you can truly expect during your session. Let's dive in and dispel those doubts, so you can step into your boudoir experience with confidence and excitement. But first here is a quick look at Miss J’s Google review.

GOOGLE Reveiw

WOW! I can't say enough about Sarina. I was apprehensive coming into this experience having never done a boudoir shoot before. I was met with professionalism and understanding, and Sarina did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable, sexy, and playful. This experience has done so much to make me feel empowered. I will definitely by recommended Pink Blush Boudoir. - Miss J

Myth 1: Boudoir Photography is Only for Models

One of the biggest misconceptions is that you need to look like a supermodel to do a boudoir shoot. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Boudoir is for every woman, regardless of age, size, or shape. It’s about celebrating your unique beauty and capturing the essence of who you are. My studio is a judgment-free zone where you are celebrated just as you are. I believe I have a unique gift to see the beauty in bodies, not their societal flaws.

Myth 2: You Have to Be Completely Nude

Boudoir is all about what makes you feel comfortable and sexy. You don’t have to bare it all unless you want to. From lingerie to your favorite oversized sweater, we can create stunning images that make you feel empowered. It’s your session, and you set the boundaries. The goal is for you to feel confident and beautiful in whatever you choose to wear.

Myth 3: You Need Experience in Front of the Camera

Many women worry about not knowing how to pose or feeling awkward in front of the camera. Don’t stress! It’s my job to guide you through the entire process. I’ll show you how to pose and help you find the most flattering angles. By the end of the session, you'll feel like a pro, and those initial nerves will be a distant memory.

Myth 4: Boudoir Sessions Are Intimidating

Stepping into a boudoir session might feel daunting, but I promise it's not intimidating at all. My studio is designed to be a safe and welcoming space. We’ll chat, laugh, and maybe even dance a little to your favorite music. The experience is meant to be fun and uplifting. My goal is to create an environment where you feel relaxed and can truly be yourself.

Myth 5: Boudoir Photos Are Only for Your Partner

While boudoir photos make an incredible gift for a partner, they are first and foremost for you. This experience is about celebrating your body and your journey. Many women do boudoir sessions to mark personal milestones or simply as a way to treat themselves. It’s a powerful reminder of your strength and beauty.

Myth 6: Wanting to Do a Boudoir Session for Yourself Makes You Full of Yourself

Taking the time to celebrate yourself and your beauty is not vain or self-centered. It’s an act of self-love and empowerment. A boudoir session can be a transformative experience that boosts your confidence and helps you appreciate your body in a whole new way. It’s all about you, and that’s more than okay!

Myth 7: Boudoir is Only for Women

Boudoir photography is for everyone. Men, couples, and trans individuals are all welcome in my studio. The goal is to capture the essence of who you are, no matter your gender or relationship status. Love and beauty are universal, and boudoir photography is a celebration of that.

Myth 8: Your Partner Will Always Love Your Photos

While many partners do cherish boudoir photos, it’s important to remember that the primary purpose of the session is for you to celebrate yourself. If a partner doesn't appreciate the effort and beauty of your photos, it might be a reflection of their own issues, not yours. This experience is about your journey and self-expression.

Myth 9: Not All Women Know How to Be Sexy

Everyone has a sexy side; it’s just a matter of finding it. As a boudoir photographer, it’s my job to help you discover and embrace your sensuality. We’re all born with a sexual nature, and through posing, lighting, and encouragement, I’ll help you see and feel your own sexiness.

Myth 10: It’s Hard to Find the Right Lingerie

Finding the perfect lingerie can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. I offer private fitting sessions at my studio where we can explore options from my carefully curated client closet. Together, we’ll find pieces that flatter your body and make you feel fabulous. With the right guidance, choosing lingerie becomes a fun and empowering part of the process.

Embarking on a boudoir session is an empowering journey that celebrates you. By debunking these myths, I hope you feel more at ease and excited about your upcoming session. Remember, boudoir is all about embracing your unique beauty and having fun along the way. I can’t wait to capture your radiance and help you see yourself in a whole new light.

Ready to book your session? Let’s create some magic together in my Edmonton studio!

With love and confidence, Sarina Rose

Client Review with Album Reveal - Boudoir Photographer Edmonton YEG

Today’s blog is a special one. Not only do you get to see some amazing images from a wonderful Boudoir Experience, but you also get to see her reaction to seeing her finished album for the first time. Creating custom albums for my clients to cherish forever is one of my favorite ways to make sure you get the most out of your Boudoir Experience. Luckily I print with the most amazing company. It is a Canadian-owned and run, company with all female staff, so you know your images are safe and in good hands. The Album cover options range from luxury leathers, sexy velvets, sparkles, snake skins, and rainbows. There is truly something for everyone, but to top it all off, I can make you custom gilding to suit your personality and taste. Miss F has darling pink hair, she loves stars and peonies, and her partner’s nickname for her is Goose. I took these points and created the stunning Gilding below.

Keep scrolling to see her reaction, all the beautiful images we created together, and her very own Google review.

Google Review:

“Words cannot describe the amazement and sheer joy of seeing the final result of my shoot. before I start gushing about the end, let me tell you about the beginning. From the start, Sarina has been incredibly forthcoming and transparent about everything. (pricing, sets, experience, privacy, etc...) the consultation was amazing and she was very flexible with moving my photoshoot date around to accommodate my work schedule.

Her experience with Hair and Makeup is AMAZING and visible with the time and care she put into my makeup- listening to what shades and colors I usually go with. As well as matching the makeup/look to the vibe of the shoot.

During the shoot, she was incredibly encouraging with her praise and the directions during posing made me feel like I had been doing this forever.

The photos turned out AMAZING. I FEEL amazing. And the Album, don’t even get me started. The custom Gilding she created just for me, is so beautiful. Every page is jaw-dropping. I will have this treasure forever.

Sarina is an incredible woman and I HIGHLY recommend doing a boudoir shoot even if you have zero experience ( like me). you WILL feel amazing and have a physical moment to remember that you DO look amazing. you ARE beautiful.” Miss F

Client feedback is truly one of the most important parts of my work. Hearing how clients feel about their experience has a big impact on how I learn and grow as an artist and as a professional. It lets me know when I’ve got things right and where I might have room to improve. I am passionate about my craft and creating the ultimate boudoir experience for every client. This experience is not just about pretty pictures. Boudoir has the power to completely transform how a woman sees herself. It can help us take our power back from the misogynistic pressure of society that many of us fall victim to. It can help us heal from unhealthy relationships or reconnect after a significant change to our bodies.

As women, we hold great power when we know ourselves, and that includes knowing our bodies intimately. We only have one body in this life, we will spend more time with it than anything else. I believe it is imperative for a woman to feel comfortable in her skin, to feel connected to her feminine energy, and to know its power. A body doesn’t have to be perfect to be Celebrated, it just needs to be seen with tenderness and appreciation for all it has gotten us through. Our scars, our stretch marks, the parts we think we need to change, they all tell a story and it is your story so love it.
