More of Me



Happy New Year!

2015 has been full of challenges, big life changes, adventures and countless sacrifices but I genuinely believe that in the end it has made me appreciate this business in ways that I had never thought possible.

I have missed being able to encourage women to grow on their self acceptance and self love journey. I have missed watching a woman's face light up as she sees her raw and natural beauty within her images after a completed session. I miss witnessing the nerves melt away and watching a woman recognise and enjoy her own unique beauty. I miss being able to offer an experience that all women should have.

2016 will bring new ideas, more consistency, mounds of creativity and more of ME as I have finally made the decision to jump into this passion full time for the first time since it all began which I could not possibly be more ecstatic about! I cannot wait to push myself in new ways while expanding on my ideas for the future Linen & Lace Boudoir.

Here is to 2016 and all that it has to offer

Client Interview - Ms. D

What made you decide to do a session?

My boyfriend’s 30th birthday – I wanted to make it extra special!







Did you have any fears in regards to doing boudoir?

I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to relax and feel confident enough to be satisfied with the final product.  










How did you find the overall experience?



Amazing. Alyssa did such a great job making sure I was comfortable. She showed me the images along the way, and let me know how I should be posing – which gave me a nice boost of confidence. 







What were some of your first thoughts after seeing your images?

I loved them. It shocked me how nice they looked and that I could actually look sexy! 










Did anything change in the way you see your own beauty as a result of this session?

Absolutely. It made me realise the things I feel the most insecure about are actually barely noticeable – they make me, me.






Would you recommend this experience to another woman?

Totally! Not only is it a great confidence boost, it gives you an excuse to get ready and put on something sexy. Not to mention my boyfriend was ecstatic!

Ms C - Sneak Peek

It's Sunday night here in Thailand and I am about to hit the hay but first thought I would leave you with an image of this lovely lady. 

Ms C wanted to gift her husband with an all black & white, film styled session and I have to admit that I was a bit nervous. I had to work in a tight space with minimal lighting and had never delivered a full session with zero colour images before. In the end, I loved the challenge and we all felt that the results came out beautifully. I cannot wait to share more from this session throughout the coming week!

One Year.

Today marks a milestone.

It has been exactly one year since I chose to separate my business page and officially create Linen & Lace Boudoir.

I am absolutely blown away at all that has happened and all that I have been able to experience within these past 12 months. It was so very difficult to leave my home of Winnipeg temporarily this past month, which meant also temporarily leaving this passion and dream of mine to photograph women in all of their individual and unique beauty.

Now that I am here, I am reassured more than ever before that this is exactly what I want to be doing with my life. Empowering women to see their true beautiful selves.

Thank you for encouraging me, trusting me with your vulnerabilities and continuing to support me as I moved across the globe. I have incredible dreams for this business and I cannot wait to implement them when we return home to our precious Winnipeg.

Thanking all of you, endlessly xo

Ms Jay - Winnipeg Boudoir Photography

Who knew that wind, cloudy skies and an absolute stunner would help create some of my favourite images to date - then again, I am not surprised. The outdoors provides such a wonderful backdrop and I was beyond thrilled with the results from this session. Ms Jay was perfection and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

Ms C - Winnipeg Boudoir Photography

 Earlier this year, I had the honour of collaborating with some fantastic local businesses to gift this beautiful and deserving mother with a Valentines Day boudoir session to surprise her hubby with! Our morning began with music, laughter, strawberries, chocolates and Ms. C getting her hair and makeup done in preparation for her close up. We started off with a simple off the shoulder sweater and gradually moved up to a few sexier outfits. She was initially fairly nervous but by the end of her session she was absolutely beaming with confidence!

Thank you to all of those who took part in this giveaway and thank you to beautiful Ms. C for allowing me to share these images with all of you xo
