Check out a session I did with Krysty at PerfectFit4U's gym during her transformation challenge photoshoot, and read about her experience on her fitness journey below. I asked Krysty to guest post on my blog because I speak to SO many women who ask me what they can do to "lost that last 10 lbs" before their photoshoot, or who are SO concerned about their weight, and try all sorts of unhealthy ways to "get ready for their photoshoot." I honestly believe you are ready just as you are, but if you want to make health and lifestyle improvements, you need to go about it in a <b><i>healthy</i></b> manner, and Krysty really embodies what that looks like <b><i>mentally</i></b> and <b><i>physically</i></b>!<br />

<br />
"Hi! My name is Krysty and I am 33 years old. I am from a small mountain town in British<br />
Columbia named Castlegar. I moved to Lethbridge in 2004 to finish my undergrad in Molecular<br />
Biology and have made it my home ever since. I enjoy road cycling, spinning, cross country-<br />
skiing, and resistance training. I love music, fun, and entertaining people in my home (i.e. I love<br />
to throw parties).<br />
<br />
So, I joined the #Perfectfit4U challenge in the spring of 2017. When I saw the first<br />
Transformation Challenge in the fall of 2016 I was envious that I wasn’t a part of it. I knew it was<br />
something big, so when the spring one was advertised, I jumped at the opportunity. My main<br />
motivation behind getting my butt in shape was my upcoming wedding. Our wedding was in set<br />
for September 16, 2017 and I knew I wanted to look, and feel, my absolute best for our big day.<br />
As much as I’d like to think it wasn’t all about my looks, I had put a lot of pressure on myself to<br />
look my best. I mean, come-on, those pictures last a lifetime.<br />
<br />
I have always struggled with my weight and growing up I had ZERO knowledge about nutrition.<br />
Even though I was a biology major I didn’t have a good grasp on calories in and calories out or<br />
how much protein to consume, good fats vs. bad fats, high carb, zero carb diet. I used to think<br />
Ritz ® Crackers were healthy. Luckily growing up I was very active so even though I was a<br />
bigger girl, and ate what I wanted, my weight wasn’t out of control.<br />
<br />
Well that all changed first year of university, when I moved out to Lethbridge and was living on my own. I was working at McDonalds and carrying a full course load. In addition, I wasn’t getting the physical activity I needed. Between the free McDonalds food and my stress related to school my weight sky-rocketed.<br />
<br />
At my heaviest I was 249 lbs. The funny thing is though I knew I was overweight… but I didn’t feel as if it limited my life in any way, until I started to get healthy. In 2006, I was going through some serious life changes. I had graduated with my undergrad from the U of L, started a full time job in science and broke up with my high school sweetheart who had moved out to Lethbridge with me. That’s when I started to take a real hard look at myself and my health.<br />

<br />
<br />
I wasn’t in love with who I had become. I was angry, short tempered, grumpy and always in constant state of stress. I don’t know what brought it on but one day I signed up for Curves. I called it the “old lady gym” (which it’s not by the way) but I was 21 and extremely overweight (48% body fat – yikes!); it seemed like the best fit for me.<br />
<br />
I remember my first week on their nutrition program. I was struggling. Headaches, irritability,<br />
cravings; the sugar I had become so addicted to was detoxing from my system and I was a mess.<br />
But I stuck with it and after their six week program I lost 16lbs and won the award for the most<br />
weight loss in the group. To be honest though, I was the youngest and the heaviest. But that<br />
small win was all I really needed to propel me into a lifestyle striving for a healthier me. The<br />
weight loss didn’t come fast or easy and a slew of weight loss programs filled my life over the<br />
next 10-years, Herbal Magic, LA Wieghtloss, and Weightwatchers all helped my lose 50 lbs (and<br />
keep it off).<br />
<br />
In 2014 and I my “new” boyfriend (now husband) and I booked a trip to Las Vegas for Electric<br />
Daisy Carnival (a huge rave at the Motor City Speedway). Now, I was stressed for this trip<br />
because just as important the music is for this party, so was the fashion! That’s when I found<br />
#Perfectfit4U for the first time and worked my butt off to look super cute at EDC in June of that<br />
year. I had lost a total of 90+ lbs since joining Curves back in 2006 and felt ah-ma-zing. And it<br />
wasn’t just my appearance, I had found the confidence in the gym that I had never felt before<br />
and I had totally re-vamped my nutrition knowledge.<br />
<br />
So… why did I join the Transformation challenge? Well, even though I had all the tools in my toolbox to life a healthy lifestyle, I was slipping. You know that feeling when you’re in a happy healthy relationship and you enjoy a bit more, drink a bit more, and eat a bit more! That was me. And<br />
then, to top it all off, in the summer of 2016, the worst happened. My father fell ill and passed<br />
away within just 12 short weeks after a brief, but brave, battle with lung cancer.<br />
<br />
During that time, life was a blur. Between trips back and forth to British Columbia my health was not my priority; gas station meals and McDonald’s pit-stops. Going to the gym was the last thing on<br />
mind. I would look to food for comfort and eat my emotions. It wasn’t good.<br />
<br />
So when I saw the call for the Spring Transformation Challenge group and I knew it was<br />
something I had to be a part of! As soon as I sent in my first deposit I started to put myself and<br />
my health first again. I never lost the tools that I had gained with #Pefectfit4U from 2014; I had<br />
just lost the motivation to make myself priority, with an excuse list a mile long. But I had a<br />
wedding to prepare for and a new life with my partner ahead of me and I wanted to start that<br />
chapter of my life with my health in check.<br />

<br />
I know I can do better and be better so I am always pushing myself to new achievements. Losing the weight really gave me some inspiration to know that I am capable of many things. But I am also a firm believer of who you surround yourself with, you become. So I make an effort to surround myself with people I aspire to be.<br />
<br />
My advice for others trying to find their own path is three-fold. First, if you want greatness in your life, surround yourself with great people. Choose your company wisely. Make sure you surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you.<br />
<br />
Second, I know these sounds cliché, but say YES to a lot of things. And I know there is a fine line<br />
between taking on too much and not putting yourself first. But every choice I have made in my life was always to keep as many doors open as possible. Yes, with some decisions some doors<br />
close and that’s okay… but I still don’t 100% know what I want to accomplish in this life and<br />
every open door is a new opportunity.<br />
<br />
And finally, and I think the most important one for me “Successful people, celebrate other<br />
people’s success”. This one is HUGE for me. There have been many dark times in my life when I<br />
had experienced jealously, anger and frustration of other’s success stories and my short-falls.<br />
But when I came across that line awhile back is completely changed my perceptive. Through<br />
celebrating others, you’ll practice the selflessness and will you find a cure for the envy, which<br />
can sabotage your own success.<br />

<br />
Well Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and with it comes an idea of sweet romance, and everlasting love. I remember when my hubby and I were first together, everything we did was exciting! We planned all of our dates, we went all over Lethbridge and Southern Alberta really, experiencing life together. It was exhilarating!<br />
<br />
Now, after 4 years together, we don't plan as many dates out (mostly because we plan so many dates in, working on our house together which is our shared passion). Sometimes when we're wanting to rekindle a little romance though, we will plan a fun date, or reminisce about great dates we've gone on (and there have been so many!). So today I thought I'd share a list with you of my Top 5 Unexpected Date Night Ideas to try. Feel free to add in your own date night ideas in the comments, I love to get new ideas of fun things we can do together (especially before the baby comes!).<br />
<br />
<b><i>1. Go to an Unexpected Movie</i></b><br />
<br />
They say variety is the spice of life, so what does seeing a movie have to do with variety? Well what if you didn't watch a preview for the movie, and maybe had never even heard of it? What if you had no idea what to expect at all?<br />
<br />
One of the best dates my husband and I went on was totally impromptu, we just felt as though we had to get out of the house and go do something, anything. So we hopped into the vehicle, and started driving. It was a Tuesday (cheap movie night) and we ended up at the Movie Mill, at around 7pm when all the movies seem to start, and just asked the person working the cash which movie we should watch. She recommended a movie, and that's what we bought tickets for. We had never heard of it, never seen a preview for it, and had no idea what it was even about. It turned out to be a lovely romantic movie that we both really enjoyed!<br />
<br />
Would we have ever considered seeing that movie had we watched a preview, honestly probably not. I personally am not a fan of romance movies (they always make me cry, and I hate crying in public lol), and my husband doesn't really care for them either, but it was an excellent movie, and a really fun way to get out and have no idea what to expect. I imagine even if the movie had been terrible, it still would have been alright because we would have experienced it together (and had no expectations)!<br />
<br />
<b><i>2. Run/Walk a 5K Together</i></b><br />
<br />
My hubby has agreed to do a lot of things that I want to do, that I don't think he would otherwise do if he were single, and one of those things has been running/walking 5k's with me. Surprisingly this has actually been a really fun date we've had because we get to dress up for the theme of the 5k! So far we've done the Color Run at the University of Lethbridge, the 5k Foam Fest in Red Deer, and the Clause Cause at Helen Schular Nature Centre, all excellent themes to dress up to! We get to go shopping for fun things to wear before hand, and then we get to actually do the 5k, so really this is like 2 dates in one. See our fun costumes below, our team was called Hugh Jass Construction, so we dressed up as construction workers!<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3xTSpJxdiJTv06trXRc8Wqlv_hLn69Ynf50_X9-hOb2yz2gS5nK9unQjvednSRGNz3z6tHLZpWpaOdfCo54R6y9xfvnU28aY1UTvaLmpesADUqM-MigvUkSMu5T1Ewj9ix-3gQpozBg1/s1600/17862487_10155008424171011_7349906196527452114_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3xTSpJxdiJTv06trXRc8Wqlv_hLn69Ynf50_X9-hOb2yz2gS5nK9unQjvednSRGNz3z6tHLZpWpaOdfCo54R6y9xfvnU28aY1UTvaLmpesADUqM-MigvUkSMu5T1Ewj9ix-3gQpozBg1/s320/17862487_10155008424171011_7349906196527452114_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">P.S. Don't wear your hair down at a Color Run... this is a very bad idea lol!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
During each of these 5k's, they have all presented different challenges and we've had to work through them together. The Foam Fest was particularly fun because they had obstacles that we got to do, and my hubby is so much more courageous than I am, so he was encouraging me the whole way through to do each of them! At our last 5k, the Clause Cause, we both attempted to run the entire thing, my hubby succeeded, I made it to about 4k and then got horrific cramps and had to start walking, but when I crossed the finish line he was there waiting for me and cheering me on! Doing these together has been an opportunity for us to cheer each other on and support one another in a fun way, and for a worthy cause!<br />
<br />
<b><i>3. Have a Phone Free Night</i></b><br />
<br />
You may not realize it, but all the time you are spending on your phone is actually taking you away from the people in front of you, and robbing you of really amazing moments you could be having. A lot of times we long for connection, whether we're single or in a relationship, and our phone can be the barrier to that connection we crave. Try this: go out for a date literally anywhere, and leave your phone in the vehicle. Don't even bring it in with you to the restaurant. But what if I have kids, you might say. Well, parents were going on dates long before cell phones were around, so give your baby sitter the number of the restaurant you're going to and tell them what time you'll be there so they can get ahold of you if the need arises. Then, enjoy the bliss.<br />
<br />
When you don't have a phone between you, you have to focus on each other. When you ask about the other person's day, they don't have the option of saying a one or two word answer, and then putting their noses back in their phones, they have to make conversation with you. It's truly an enlightening experience, and it will make you realize all the moments you are missing from being non-present with your phone by your side.<br />
<br />
This is personally something I have been working on, as I find myself on my phone a lot with work, and just with life in general. I have noticed a significant improvement in my relationship with my hubby when I don't bring my phone places, and vice versa, and both of us have benefited from it. So try it out, you might just be surprised what you discover!<br />
<br />
<b><i>4. Get Out of Dodge</i></b><br />
<br />
When Kelli and I were first dating I asked him to take me to the states as I'd never been to Montana (I'd only lived here for a few years when I met him), and he said sure. He said it so casually that I didn't really think it was going to happen, but then that weekend he cancelled his plans and we went on an overnight trip to Whitefish. We didn't have anything planned when we got there, and in fact I didn't even realize we were staying overnight so I didn't bring an overnight bag with me and we had to go to Walmart to get a tooth brush and such when we got there.<br />

</tbody></table>
We drove around, drove through the country side, I think we even stopped at a garage sale, and we just hung out. We watched a movie in the hotel that night, and drove back home the next day. It was lovely. It was so much fun to just get out of town together, and since then we've gone on many overnight or weekend trips to places within a few hours of here. We get to have interesting conversations on our drive there, and listen to our favourite bands together as well. We can plan fun things to do when we get to our destination, or plan nothing at all. Whatever we feel like, there are no rules, sometimes it's just fun to get out of town.<br />
<br />
<b><i>5. Take on a Project Together</i></b><br />
<br />
One of our favourite things to do together is work on projects. We will work on our house, work on our yard, work on fixing something, or find something new to make. Kell is a very hands-on kind of guy, and he likes to fix things, and I enjoy learning from his wide array of skills. Sometimes we will turn the tables and do something I am more skilled in, and we get the opportunity to teach other. Find something that interests both of you, and work on it together.<br />
<br />
This could be making a new furniture piece for your house, this could be re-organizing your basement, this could be planning out all the cool things you'll do to your yard, or it could be making some art for your walls. Whatever it is, find something to work on together. Planning things out together, going to get the tools and supplies needed to complete the project, and then working on it together helps build skills needed to build your relationship, and work on problems together, and not only that, it's fun!<br />
<br />
This past weekend we took on the project of painting our house together. It was a lot of work, but while we worked we got to chat about a variety of different topics, and when it was all done, we got to admire our hard work and enjoy the fruits of our labour. Kelli actually has an excellent eye for colors and decor (more so than I do!) and without doing these projects together, that might be a side of him I wouldn't otherwise get to see. So take on a project, and see what you can learn about and from each other!<br />
<br />
I hope you've enjoyed my Top 5 Unexpected Date Night Ideas, taken from my own personal library of dates Kelli and I have been on that we've enjoyed. Please let me know if you try any of them out, or have done any of these, and what the outcome has been! If you've got an Unexpected Date Night to add to the list, leave it below in the comments! I always love reading new and fun ideas, and trying them out!<br />
<br />
Cheers & Happy Valentine's Day!<br />

This month my theme is #love... since February is the month of love I figured there isn't a theme more fitting than this. In coming up with this theme and working through some ideas, one that kept popping back up to me was #selflove - putting yourself first, being your own BFF, and learning to love & appreciate the person you are. There are 8 million and one self help books out there about the long term solutions to loving yourself first, but today I just want to touch on 10 quick things you can do RN that will help you learn to put you first!! These are things I try to practice on the daily, and have really helped my self love game, hopefully they help yours too!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Plan Out Your Day</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this seems simple, and you might be thinking, "how can planning out my day really be an act of self love?" Well, by planning out your day every day, you remind yourself of a few things: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, your goals - you know those things you try to work towards every day, they don't just magically happen. They take dedication and planning. I always believe if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Secondly, your priorities. By writing out what you plan to do each day you can prioritize what is actually important to you. Want to spend more time hanging out with your kids? Schedule it in. Want to take a friend out for coffee? Plan to do it. Whatever it is that is important to you, plan for it so you make it happen!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So sit down either at the beginning of the week, or each morning, whatever works for you, and plan out your days ahead. Then, when opportunities for distraction come up (which to me, are ALL the time. I don't know why my friends love impromptu shopping trips so much lol) you can decide whether that fits into your schedule or not, whether that's a priority or not, and whether you want to do it now, or plan to do it later (maybe when you've saved up a bit of cash haha!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. Go For a Walk In Nature (Pro tip: leave your phone in your pocket & don't take it out)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone has 10 minutes they can spare in their day to go for a walk in nature. How is this an act of self love? By spending 10 minutes just with YOU, you can start to learn to appreciate the subtleties of who you are. Spending time alone with yourself also allows you to calm your nerves, breathe in some fresh air, recharge your battery & begin fresh again with whatever the next task you've got on the agenda. Hint: Plan this out in your daily calendar & set a reminder to do it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. Have a morning routine</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to find myself struggling to get going with my day, especially being self employed it's so easy to just laze around in bed all morning and do nothing and accomplish nothing. But doing that was actually detrimental to my mental health, because I was beginning to believe I wasn't capable of doing more in the mornings (even though they're actually my most productive time). So I started a morning routine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoy scrolling social media and seeing what my friends are up to, so after my alarm goes off I lay in bed for half an hour and just do that. It seems unproductive, but actually getting it out of my system before I do anything else allows me to focus on my day and not worry about it. Figure out what morning routine will work for you, and try it out for a week. I couldn't believe after doing this for a week how much more productive I had become!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4. Donate your least favourite clothes, because math!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If Katie has a closet full of 100 items of clothing, but she only likes 50 of those pieces, she is satisfied with only 50% of her closet. That means for the other 50% of the time when she's wearing her least favourite clothes, she isn't feeling 100% her best. If Katie donates the 50% of the clothes she doesn't like, now Katie has a closet of 50 items that she loves 100%. Math! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's crazy how much a great outfit can make you feel like a million bucks, so get rid of the ones that don't! I can't tell you how many pieces of clothing I used to own "just in case" or "one day I'll wear this and it will look good." Once I stopped telling myself those lies, and just purged the BS, I was filled with a closet full of things I love, and that in itself is an act of self love. Every time you put on a great piece of clothing or jewelry, or whatever it is that makes your heart happy, you look in the mirror and you <i>feel good.</i> If that's not the fastest path to loving yourself RN, I don't know what is!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>5. Take yourself out on a date!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was maybe my most brilliant scheme, especially when I was single. So what does this even mean, take yourself out on a date? Well, just as it sounds, take yourself somewhere nice, order something nice, and do something you love for the evening. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason I started doing this was because I had been in SO many crappy relationships that I didn't think it was fair to allow these crap guys I was dating to define what was good enough for me. Their idea of good enough for me, and mine, were two totally different realms of reality. I realized that a man didn't have to define who treated me the best, and that in fact if I treated myself the best, it would be the easiest measure to see who else measured up. If they didn't treat me as good as I treated myself, they were out of the running. It made it very clear, very quickly, who I wanted to date, and who I didn't. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well, by doing the things I loved, I firstly spent more time just doing the things I loved (hello cool events around town, fancy restaurants I had always wanted to go to, fishing trips to local lakes, etc.) but secondly, and more importantly, <i style="font-weight: bold;">I got to know myself.</i> I got to realize the things I really enjoyed doing, and the things I had been doing before because other people were just doing them, so I did too. I was able to define myself better, who I was, who I wanted to be, and where I was going. And that was <b>life changing.</b> So try it, take yourself out on a date this week (even if you're attached), and get to know yourself a bit better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Putting it all together:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So try out these tips, and let me know how they go! Send me an email and tell me about your experiences trying them out, or leave a message in the comments! Better yet, tag me on IG @katiekayboudoirstudio doing the things that you love to do, that are an act of self-love and spread the message! #loveyourselffirst ! </div>

Have you ever wondered what you were <i>meant </i>to do with this life? Have you ever felt lost or like you didn't know which way to go? If any of this sounds like you, you're not alone. I spent the better part of my life trying to determine what I wanted to be when I grew up. I remember in school all of my friends had high aspirations, they just <i>knew</i> they wanted to be a nurse, or a care worker, or a lawyer, or whatever else their hearts desired. I never had <i>any </i>of that. I chalked it up to a poor education system in Canada, often feeling jealous of my British counterparts who were groomed for their professions and post secondary careers long before high school was even over.<br />
<br />
When I left high school, I knew I needed to work, and I needed to make money. I had a faint idea that I would like to do something creative, but somehow in my mind I felt like creativity did not pay the bills. So instead I took a few years off, and then went to college and took Child and Youth Care. I honestly picked my college diploma by opening up the brochure and going "eeny meeny miny mo." No, I'm not joking.<br />

Me my first week of college, I'm in the middle in the purple with the pig tails (my signature look at 21...lord knows why). I went on to photograph two of these classmates' weddings!</div>
<br />
College was an interesting time. I excelled in school and made the honour roll, but I was never passionate about the program. I loved helping people, which is why I got into the career in the first place, but I am just not the kind of person who can leave work at work. So I floundered and eventually dropped out of the program, but during that time I learned some valuable lessons that I think you'll benefit from too.<br />
<br />
The first lesson I learned is that you never, ever know where life is taking you. Had I not taken that course I would not actually have become the photographer I am today. Shout out to all my college amigo's who's weddings, engagements and family photos you allowed me to shoot! I learned through those experiences that even though we don't always know where we're going, it doesn't mean we're not travelling in the right direction.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me & one of my first brides & friend from college Natasha</div>
<br />
Last night I watched this new show on Netflix called "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction" and it was an interview David Letterman did with Barack Obama. If you haven't watched it, check it out it's entirely worth it. Something Barack said really stuck out to me, he asked Dave, "<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't you say to yourself, 'Boy am I lucky?' One of the things I'm always surprised by is when I see people who have been successful in business or entertainment or politics, and they're absolutely convinced that it's all because they were so smart. And I'm always saying, well, I worked hard, and I've got some talent, but there are a lot of hardworking, talented people out there. There was this element of chance to it – this element of serendipity. And I wonder if you ever feel that </span>sometimes<span style="font-family: inherit;">?"</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The thing that was striking about this </span>statement<span style="font-family: inherit;"> was that there sat this man, a revered politician, 44th president of the USA, human rights activist, a super intelligent guy, and he felt </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">luck</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> was a driving factor in his incredible life. That </span>statement<span style="font-family: inherit;"> actually left me dumbfounded, <b>because it's true</b>. Often times I feel as though people can look at my own life in particular, and ask how I got to where I am today. They ask how I can do this full time, and comment on how lucky </span>I<span style="font-family: inherit;"> am to do something I love, and they always say they wish they could do something they love too. The truth of the matter is, you can! </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I will be the first to admit that I am not the smartest person to ever walk this planet, I </span>don't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> have the knowledge, and thanks to my 'fly by the seat of my pants' lifestyle, I tend to learn things the hard way. But if I can pursue this career that I love, and do something that excites me every single day then you can too. Because so much </span>of<span style="font-family: inherit;"> what got me to where I am today is not being afraid to put myself out there, to put myself in a situation where luck could find me.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me when I decided to quit my 9-5 insurance job, and up and live in the bush for a while. I really do live by the seat of my pants.</div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The second lesson I learned is that the thing that terrifies you is probably what you're meant to do. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">I remember going to a jewelry party many years ago, when I first had the inkling I wanted to be a photographer. I remember at that time in my </span><span style="background-color: white;">life</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> being so petrified to say this is what I want, this is the path I want to pursue. A woman was at the party and asking if the host knew anyone who could do her head shots for the University staff directory, and I so </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">badly</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> wanted to speak out and say, "yes, me! me!" But I was frozen in fear. Literally, frozen. Instead, a girl right next to me said that she was a photographer and would do it. They exchanged </span><span style="background-color: white;">contact</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> information, while I sat silently by. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't know what griped me with such fear, perhaps it was the irrationality of</span> someone calling me out and saying, "you don't know what you're doing, you can't take photographs, you're a phoney." All I know is that I was there, in that same moment with that woman, and I did not put myself out there. That could have been a link to a totally different career path within photography, and maybe that's why it didn't happen for me then, but I will never forget the feeling of not putting my horse in the race, not standing up and saying this is who I am, and not being fearless enough to just be me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Maybe that's what being lost in life all boils down to: the fear of being who you actually are. What if that person fails? What if that person isn't as good as another person pursuing a similar career? What if, what if, what if....? That question can plague you for the rest of your life, and in that moment with that woman, it certainly had me in it's grasp. What allowed me to remove myself from it's clutches was a much more important question I had to ask myself...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">What if I never tried? What would my life look like then? But...what if I did try, and what if I succeeded? What if I got to do this as my full time job? What if I got to help people on a level that I never dreamed possible? What if I got to make a difference to women everywhere? What if I got to have a voice for those who were too afraid to speak up?... But what if I never tried?</span><br />

Me sitting on the Women In Business Speaker Panel and talking to my local businesswomen about the life of an entrepreneur, overcoming an abusive relationship, and finding my passion.</div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Once that thought crossed my mind, it pretty much set fire to the whole thing. I could not imagine my life without at least <i>trying</i> to pursue the things that mattered to my heart. And I knew that it mattered to my heart, because nothing had ever <b>scared me </b>so badly in this lifetime as the thought of speaking up in that jewelry party and saying this is who I am, this is what I do, this is what I love. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">So my advice for those who are lost, who are looking for their path and their passion in this life... seek out the opportunities to tell people who you are. Say out loud the thing that scares you right to your very core. Whatever that thing is, whoever that person is, whatever that career is... that's the thing that's going to set your own heart on fire with a passion like you've never known. That's the thing that you will endlessly pursue because once it is yours, once you can confidently claim "This is who I am, this is what I do" you will never be able to go back to your life before that moment.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">I decided to actually start leaving my room or my house and made a conscious effort to do stuff with friends, and actually participated in the things my friends or family were doing. Things were starting to look up. Then I met a boy. I'd felt the happiest I had ever been in a long time and I was surprised to see how he made me feel amazing. He actually made me feel </span><span style="color: #222222;">beautiful</span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> in my own skin, and I found </span>the<span style="font-family: inherit;"> courage and the strength to stop my eating disorder.

I felt like I was going back in to my old ways again.

I learned how to find happiness within myself, through my own independence. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">My advice to women or girls struggling with the same stuff is to travel for awhile, and find yourself, and don’t rely on any man and or anyone to make you happy but yourself, and don’t be afraid to talk to someone because people are always listening."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">I seriously love this </span><span style="color: #222222;">girl, and although she didn't want to dive too deeply into the details of her life, I appreciate her giving us all a reminder that we are not alone. I know how easy it is to feel alone (I run a business by myself, work by myself save for my awesome clients, and find myself talking to my doggies more than I care to admit), but just because we feel that way, doesn't make it true. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For those of you who don't know, this October I am getting married to my wonderful fiancee Kelli! We've been together almost 4 years, and when he popped the question in September of 2016, my first thought after, "YES!" was, "now who is going to be our wedding photographer...?" Funny enough, it wasn't just on my mind, but on the minds of lots of my friends, clients and family, because <i>everyone</i> asked who I was going to pick and how I would decide. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So who did I pick to photograph one of the most important days of my </span>life<span style="font-family: inherit;">? The amazing Tracy & Shawn from </span><a href="http://www.loveandbeloved.ca/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Love & Be Loved Photography</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. When I met them, it was like meeting my photography soulmates. I chatted with them for almost an hour, and I loved that they listened to my ideas but had lots of their own. Their calm but powerful presence was exactly what I was looking for on my </span>wedding<span style="font-family: inherit;"> day, I knew almost instantly upon meeting them that I could trust them to do this job, and to do it well. When I saw their wedding photos from other </span>weddings, it honestly brought tears to my eyes. I just knew they were <i>the ones</i>. </span><br />

<br />
After we received our engagement photos, I was speechless (if you know me, you know this is a rare occurrence!) - these two had been able to really show so much emotion, love, friendship, and silliness in our photos, I was blown away. In other words, if you're looking for a wedding photography team, I highly recommend them!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I know that as a bride, picking a wedding photographer is daunting. There are so many choices, it's not just about budget, it's about style, who you like, who works well with the look you want, and the list goes <i>on. </i>Luckily as a photographer, I already had some great tools to help me decide who our wedding photographer was going to be. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I shared some of these insights with a few clients, who had never even considered some of the things that were forefront in my mind, and I realized that there are probably a lot of brides out there who would appreciate some direction and help in choosing their wedding photographer. So get ready, this is the exhaustive, intensive, meat and potatoes list about choosing a wedding photographer!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The <b><i>2 most important things</i></b> to consider about photography for your wedding day are:</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. This is your wedding day, it only happens <i style="font-weight: bold;">once. </i>Make sure you pick someone who you <u>trust</u>, <u>like</u>, and want to spend the whole day with because they are the one wedding vendor that you will spend the most time with. Make sure they're fun, and that you have a good repertoire with them. If you meet them, and you just don't "click," don't book them, it's that simple.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. After your wedding, your photos are the only things that will be left (besides your spouse of course) so you want to do thorough research of the wedding photographer to ensure they're going to deliver to you the absolute best photos and products available within your budget. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Trust me when I say </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">everyone</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is going to ask to see your photos from your special day, so if you don't like those images, this request is going to make you cry. Every. Single. Time. Instead of looking back at your wedding and sharing in fond memories over beautiful images, you're going to avoid looking back on those images at all, and a day that should have been so special to the two of you, will quietly slip into the past. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So where do you start? Well before you even begin researching local photographers, I suggest heading over to Pinterest and starting a board of wedding images you like. Pick ones that move you, ones that make you <i>feel</i> something. Then, once you've compiled a fairly hefty list, ask yourself the following questions:</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Do you like photos where the bride and groom are really close together, very intimate, romantic, serious or where they are more far apart, more fun poses, less serious? </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Do you like really soft colors, really dreamy looking, or do you want deeper colors, more emphasis on the backgrounds or the people? </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Do you like truly photo-journalistic style images or do you want a lot of candid images?</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Keep in mind that some photographers will try to tell you their style is photo-journalistic because they take a bunch of "candid" images. This is a bunch of crap. Candid images (where no one is posed, the type of photo literally anyone could take who had a camera) are <b>not</b> the same as photo-journalistic. Photo journalistic style is still a composed image, it still has thought and a purpose, it still tells the story of the wedding. A candid image is just a picture, and some photographers use them as filler for your wedding album.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, with all of that in mind, you're able to begin to see what <i>style</i> of wedding photography you like. This is important because just as you look at wedding dresses prior to trying them on, you want to know what style of wedding photography you like prior to hiring your photographer. Once you know your style, you can now begin to look for photographers who emulate that style! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Okay, so you've found a few photographers in your area who's style you like, now what? Probably very few of these photographers have their prices listed, and you may be on a budget, so you may think you don't want to "waste your time" meeting with someone out of your budget. In my experience, wedding photographers will usually offer a payment plan, or allow you to pay the total in the few weeks or month prior to the wedding, so even if a photographer seems out of your budget, it's definitely worth it to meet with them to see what you can work out. Especially if you love their style, there is usually a way to make it work. </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would also like to point out that you're probably going to have bridal shower, you could always ask to make it a "photography shower" and ask your friends/family to donate to your wedding photography budget, instead of more traditional showers like lingerie, etc. This is a great idea if you want the photographer of your dreams, but they're out of your budget, plus it makes your friends/family feel good knowing they've contributed something you'll actually love and cherish literally <i>forever</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The next step is to contact them, usually by email, to arrange a meeting. When you go the meeting, you're going to want to be prepared with some questions for them. Don't just go in to the meeting unprepared, you are a detective and your discerning who is the best fit for you, this involves some investigation on your part. I have used the wedding questions from HereComesTheGuide.com and TheKnot.ca to help me in creating this list, and both of those websites have fantastic resources when it comes to wedding planning, and wedding photography. </span></div>

<b style="font-family: inherit;"><u>Questions for Your Potential Wedding Photographer:</u></b></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b> 1. How far in advance do I need to book with you?</b></i> If they say they could potentially book you in as soon as next month for your wedding, they're probably not that busy of a photographer. Like any good professional, they should be booked up well in advance because they are in high demand.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>2. How long have you been in business?</b> </i>Yes, I understand that all photographers have to start somewhere, but I would suggest that you don't want your wedding to be their first ever. Just because they've been in business a long time however, doesn't guarantee their great, so you need to ask them:</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>3. How many weddings have you shot?</b> </i>If that number isn't a lot, they could still be green in the wedding industry. Keep in mind that the more weddings they've shot, the more experience they have in knowing exactly which shots to get, how to anticipate the events of the day, etc. </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>4. How would you describe your photography style?</b></i> Now you may get a great answer, or you may get a wishy-washy answer, when I was interviewing photographers I heard all sorts of responses to this from "light and airy style" to "my style is photographing love." Now, if the second one doesn't make sense to you, don't worry, it didn't make sense to me either. Realize that photographers are just people too, and if they're saying things that don't make a lot of sense, or they sound a bit ridiculous, they're probably inexperienced, and this is a sign that you should probably move on.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>5. How would you describe your shooting/working style? </b></i><span style="background-color: white;">Ask them to walk you through how they shoot a wedding ceremony, some photographers will walk right up and adjust your dress to get that "perfect" shot while you're saying your vows, others want to just be a fly on the wall. You have to decide what is more important to you, some photographers can be very distracting to you and your guests, others can be almost invisible. Remember that the photographer isn't running the show, you are, and if someone coming up to you mid-ring exchange and fixing your dress bothers you, then make sure you don't pick that person as your photographer.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<i style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="background-color: white;">6. Do you have a portfolio I can </span>review? Are all the images yours, and is all the work recent? </b></i><span style="background-color: #f4cccc; font-family: inherit;">This is <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">the most important thing to see from your wedding photographer!!!!</u> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyone can take 500 images in a wedding day, take 10 amazing shots, take 490 boring ones, and only show you the 10 amazing ones to make you think they're great. This is not an accurate representation of what you will actually get in your wedding package so make sure you ask to see:</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- An <b>ENTIRE </b>wedding collection: from getting ready to reception and everything in between (this could be in the form of an online gallery, on their computer, or on a USB)</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- An <b>ENTIRE</b> wedding album: some photographers will mash up different weddings into one album, so as to show you their best images, but again, you are paying for all the images, so you better like ALL of their images</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would also ask to see more than one wedding from start to finish, so you can see if they are consistent in their style, if they are delivering good quality images, if they are capturing emotion, if they are what you want your wedding images to look like. <b><i>Picture yourself in the photos, if that was you, would you be happy with those shots?</i></b></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<b><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>7. What type of equipment do you use?</b> </i>If you're hiring a professional, this really shouldn't be an issue you even need to consider, as a professional will make sure they have multiple camera bodies (incase one fails, or to shoot your wedding with multiple lenses without wasting time changing the lens back and forth), multiple batteries, memory cards, lenses. etc. This really should be something the wedding photographer should worry about, and not you, but the reason you need to ask this is because if they say, "well I shoot with my cellphone/iPad/flip phone/etc" run.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>8. Do you shoot in color and black & white?</b></i> <span style="background-color: white;">Some photographers will not give you all your images in color <i>and</i> black and white, so if this is important to you, make sure you ask about it.</span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i><b>9. Can I give you a list of specific shots I would like?</b> </i></span><span style="background-color: white;">You should definitely have some idea of what images you like (from all your earlier research into style), but your photographer should also be intelligent and have a list of poses she/he goes to, I call it the photographers toolbox. Is their tool box well equipped, or does it only have a hammer and nails? You want an experienced photographer who will have a variety of poses they can call on, depending on weather, backgrounds, dress style, etc.</span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i><b>10. May I have a list of references?</b> </i></span>Remember, you're the detective, ask to speak with their past brides. Ask the following questions to the references:</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Why did you choose this photographer? (If it was a friend, they may be less likely to be truthful about their experience)</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- What did you like most about working with this photographer?</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- What did you like least?</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- What was your wedding day like? Ask about their ceremony/reception/photography locations, if the photographer has only ever shot weddings in churches for example, and you're getting married on the beach, they may not be equipped to deal with the changing outdoor lighting. Or if the bride got married on a beach, she can give you an idea of what to expect since you are too, that type of idea.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">- How long after your wedding did you see a sneak peek? Receive your images? Receive your product (albums, prints, canvas, etc)? </span>How<span style="font-family: inherit;"> long did the photographer say this would take vs. reality?</span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- What was the quality of the product, what did you think of it, has it lasted? Seeing the durability and quality of an item will let you know what quality you can expect.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Did the photographer go above and beyond in your opinion? Would you recommend him/her to your friends? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<i style="font-family: inherit;"><b>11. Are you the photographer who will shoot my wedding? Will you have any assistants with you on that day? If not, who will be taking the pictures and can I meet them before my wedding?</b></i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Some photographers use "associates" to shoot weddings for them, so make sure you're able to meet with and see the work of anyone involved in photographing your wedding, so you can know exactly what to expect. Associates aren't necessarily a bad thing, often times they will have been coached and mentored by the photographer, and their styles can be very similar, and are sometimes available at a cheaper price point.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>12. What happens if you are unable to shoot my wedding, for whatever reason?</b></i> The parameters of this should be clearly outlined in the contract you sign with your wedding photographer, so that should this happen the expectation on both ends is crystal clear. Often times, the photographer will help you find a replacement for them, but you will more than likely be required to cover all the costs of the new photographer, while also being refunded from the first photographer, depending on the circumstances. Either way, ask this question and be very clear about the possible outcomes.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>13. Do you charge a travel fee?</i> </b>Some photographers will charge extra to photograph a wedding over a certain number of kms away, make sure you ask this question if you're getting married outside of the home city of the photographer.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>14. Are you photographing other events on the same day as mine?</b></i> <span style="background-color: white;">This matters because if they are taking another job before your wedding they could be <b>late</b> to your wedding. Remember, this day only happens </span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">once</i><span style="background-color: white;"> and you want everything to go smoothly and without a hitch.</span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i><b>15. Is it okay if other people take photos while you're working?</b> </i></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Know that other people may not be permitted to take photos while your photographer is working. In my own wedding contract I have this listed because it can be very distracting for your bridal party and family as well. Imagine getting family photos taken and there are 3 different people taking pictures of the family portrait at the same time,</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> </span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">everyone's</i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"> eyes will be looking at different cameras, and the images will not turn out. </span></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">This could result in editing charges for you because the photographer will have to go in and adjust everyones eyes. This is also important because you're hiring the photographer for their style and their abilities, and you don't want other people around taking away the key folks who need to be in the shots, so that they can take pictures of them instead. Guaranteed great aunt Mildred's photos of the bridal party are more than likely not going to make it into your wedding album, but your photographers images will, so the photographer needs to be the one taking the images. This is not to say that other people should be forbidden from taking images either, but realize that the photographer is there to do a job, and if there are multiple people competing for the same shot, it's going to be counter productive.</span><br />

<div class="gmail_default">
<i style="font-family: inherit;"><b>16. Have you ever worked at my ceremony/reception location before?</b> </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is important because lighting is different in every single location, and your photographer needs to be aware of the lighting on your wedding day. If they've worked in your location before, they can give advice about where to set up your ceremony or your signing table, or your head table even, based on what will produce the best images. This advice can be invaluable for getting great shots not only from the pros, but from your family and friends as well.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><i><b>17. What time will you arrive, how long will you shoot, if I want you to stay extra what is the fee?</b> </i>Make sure your photographer thinks it's important to be early to your wedding, as weddings don't always go quite according to plan. Generally you'll be purchasing a package from them with set hours, but if you're not, make sure you understand how much time you're getting and at what cost. If your family's speeches go way longer than expected, and you don't get to your bouquet toss until 30 minutes after originally planned, make sure you know the fee for asking your photographer to stay longer. </span></span></div>

Can I customize one that suits my needs?</b> </i>If your photographer has passed all the questions above with flying colors, it's time to chat packages. Often times they will have a variety of packages, so you'll need to discuss the logistics of your day with your wedding photographer to find one that suits your needs. For myself, I wanted coverage that lasted from getting ready in the morning, putting on my dress, taking the limo, all the way through the ceremony, the family photos, the formal photos, into the reception, and later into the night.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5e5e5e;"><i><b>21. Do you provide retouching, color adjustment or other corrective services?</b> </i>Your photographer should fully edit all of your images for a pleasing color balance, proper tones, etc. You may pay more for specific image altering requests (ie. removing excess skin on the back or near the armpits, from a tight strapless gown). Make sure you ask about anything you feel concerned about, and make sure you understand the answer. You can also ask to see an unedited photo vs. an edited one from them, so you can understand what to expect in terms of editing.</span><br /><span style="color: #5e5e5e;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: inherit;"> Every photographer is different, so just because one operates one way, doesn't mean they all operate that way. Ask these questions so you know how much work you'll need to put in on your end to order your album. If you're terrible at making decisions, you can ask your photographer if they will decide the album images for you, so you don't have to choose. </span></div>

If you want to make prints, or your own albums, or send them to family & friends online, you may want the digital copies. I also recommend having the digital copies and storing a back-up of them onto your computer, as well as onto Dropbox/Google Drive/iCloud, in case your house burns down/floods/etc and you lose your wedding album. At least you haven't lost all of your wedding images. There is nothing saying your wedding photographer will still be around if this happens to you, so it's best if you can have a copy of them just in case. </span></span></div>

Once you've asked all of these questions, and you think you trust the photographer enough to be there on one of the most important days of your life, your next steps are to book them! You should be super excited about this, if you have any nagging feelings or anything is making you feel uneasy, sleep on the decision. You want to be 100% certain. As certain as the moment you said YES! to your fiancee, you should be just as certain when you say YES! to your wedding photographer!</div>

Good morning babes! Today's topic is one I hear a lot, "I would book a session but I have nothing to wear!" Honestly, boudoir props can be found <i>everywhere</i> and you probably already have most of these lying around your house!! Boudoir props can range from anything such as guns, to guitars, to garters and to everything in between. I have probably seen everything you can think of when it comes to props and accessories, and today I'm going to share with you some easy props you can bring for a session, that you probably already own. Some people don't want to bring any props, and that's totally fine too, but there are two reasons I love props that might persuade you to love them too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Firstly, props add that personal touch to your session, making it that much more meaningful for you, and a significant other if you're giving it as a gift. Imagine having a beautiful image of yourself reading your favourite book, or wearing your husbands favourite shirt, or holding something you love, or engaging in something you are passionate about. You are going to have a photo so unique that <i>only you</i> will ever have that prop, no matter what the pose is! It makes that photo entirely your own!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Secondly, props allow me as the photographer to use them in creating <i>unique</i> <i>poses</i> for your session! When you're looking at the images below, imagine that photo without the prop, although still gorgeous, the prop really tells the story. And after all, I'm all about telling your beautiful story!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, enjoy this sneak peek of the super foxy Miss X while I take you through some easy props you can bring to your session! You may be surprised at how many you already own!</div>

<b>1. Your/His Shirt</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I see the shirt as one of the most universally adaptable props, and literally EVERYONE owns a shirt (I hope!). There are a few styles of shirts that work really well for your session:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Button up Shirt/Dress Shirt: this style works great because it can be opened, closed, buttoned up, seductively unbuttoned, worn off the shoulders, held down by the legs, I mean the options are endless. Pair with a tie, and you've got even more choices!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- T-Shirt: this style works great because it can make something so casual look so gorgeous, especially if you're a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. This style can be played up with a pretty necklace, or played down with a pair of chucks or long socks. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
An easy prop that you'll already have if you're engaged or married is your ring. When you're wearing a ring it allows me to get shots like the one below, beautiful little details that help tell the story of your session. I have also seen promise rings, rings handed down from generations past, and rings that have special meaning in your life. A ring is something probably everyone owns, and even if it doesn't have meaning to you and it's just pretty, you can still bring it because it still works in this shot!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know about you, but once upon a time I got it into my head that I needed a garter belt, and they were on sale at La Senza, so I picked one up. Have I ever used it? Nope, not even once. But do I still faithfully hold onto it "just in case"? Yup! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're like me and just have a collection of odds and ends of lingerie, you can bring them to your session as props. You don't even have to know how to put one on, I will show you or do it for you, and the results, as you can see below, are so much fun! Again, they give the opportunity to do some fun additional poses that without them, we may not be able to do!</div>

<b>4. A Garter Belt without Stockings</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just because you have a garter belt, doesn't necessarily mean you'll have stockings to go along with it. If you don't, that's totally okay! We can still use it for your session, and still make it look totally stunning! So if you've got one that you're thinking of bringing along, just bring it because you never know what I can make work for your session! And this image happened to be one of Miss X's favourite, even though there are no stockings at all. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right now with summer I am seeing a ton of bridal boudoir, but I'm also seeing about an equal amount of anniversary boudoir sessions too! Do you still have your garter from your wedding? Bring it along as a nod to your wedding, or as an accessory for your bridal boudoir session, and we can do some cheeky shots like the ones below. It doesn't even have to still fit you, I have tons of tricks to make garters work in your images. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're like me, you probably have some really nice pairs of high heels sitting in the back of your closet that you never wear (maybe because your fiancee is the same height as you, and when you wear your heels you tower over him - yes the struggle is real). Why not bring them to your session? Just make sure to dust them off first and give them a good wipe if they've been sitting for a while! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not everyone is a high heel kind of gal, so this shot also works with chucks, hiking boots, runners, dressy boots, ballet shoes, with pretty well anything you can put on your feet... although I do draw the line at crocs, no crocs! But seriously, you've got footwear, I know you do, so bring it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may also have a fun hat sitting in your closet, collecting dust with your shoes, why not bring it too? A hat is a versatile accessory because we can pose you in so many ways with it, this is just an example of one of my favourites! Other items for headwear can include:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Umbrella </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Headband</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Tiara</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Ball Cap (yours or your significant others!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You probably have at least one of these head pieces at home, so grab it and bring it along to your session!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Have you thought about the wedding gift you'll give your fiancee before your wedding day?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The most incredible thing about doing a bridal boudoir session is that you're able to give a gift no one else can give him... and the look on his face when he receives it is 100% worth it! So many grooms have been so excited by the gift of boudoir, and have emailed to say how happy they are that their spouse wanted to do something so beautiful and unique for them, and how happy they are that boudoir exists!</span></span></div>

A few months ago I had the fun-loving Miss G come in for a boudoir session! She gave her session as a gift to her boyfriend, but I ran into her a few weeks ago and heard that they are no longer together. I asked her what she did with her photos, to which she laughed and told me that she looks at her photos almost every day, and they give her a confidence boost every single time she sees them! She is so happy she did the session, and it empowered her to be the strong, and independent gal that she is! </div>

As a boudoir photographer, I'm generally asking people to step out of their comfort zones and step in front of my camera to do their boudoir session. I know it's a lot to ask of some people, and some people don't know if they can take the step (or sometimes the leap) out of what's normal, to do something that can be both scary, but super rewarding! Well, this weekend I took a pretty big leap out of MY comfort zone, and I wanted to share it with you guys, because I can't just talk the talk, I better be prepared to walk the walk!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago Ashlyn, the owner of <a href="http://www.perfectfit4u.ca/" target="_blank">#PerfectFit4U</a> (a gym and personal training/nutrition facility in Lethbridge) asked me to compete with her and a group of other women in a competition called <a href="http://www.femsport.tv/" target="_blank">FemSport</a>. Basically, it's a strength competition for women only, and the events tested include flipping a 290lb tire 6 times, doing 15 burpees with a 30lb sandbag, doing 50 box jumps for time, lifting kettlebells ranging from 45-70lbs and running them to a podium, and then also doing an obstacle course for time. To say it's intense is probably an understatement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

When she asked me to compete with her and her team, I decided to just go for it, I thought to myself, honestly what do I really have to lose? If I say no, basically I'm saying I could <i>never</i> do something like that, and if there's anything I've learned in this life, it's that if you put your mind to something and put in some hard work, you <i>can</i> achieve it. I mean, I started a boudoir business essentially out of thin air five years ago, and if it wasn't for that mindset, I wouldn't be as successful as I am today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so began 12 weeks of gruelling training, with a group of really fit girls, and...me. I have been into fitness fairly passively for the last year, but since February I have become more dedicated to my fitness goals, and I even signed up for the color run in Lethbridge, and the foam run in Red Deer. I have realized over the last year that the thing that motivates me more than anything else is having an end goal to reach, working out just to work out doesn't really do it for me. I need a goal to strive towards, and Femsport was my next goal. So the training began.</div>

At first, I really wasn't sure what I had gotten myself into. I had only ever flipped a tire once with help, I wasn't sure I could even lift a heavy kettlebell, and a burpee with weights...maybe <i>not</i>. But, I had already agreed to do it, and I'm no quitter. So every week usually 1-2 times/week I would meet up with the girls and we would work out. It was really tough at first, but I began challenging myself and overcoming obstacles that I didn't even know I would be able to, and doing things that totally surprised me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I began flipping that tire with passion, and zest. I couldn't lift the kettlebells at first, but slowly I was able to. And doing burpees... at first I struggled to do them, but soon I was able to do them with a 40lb weight, more than the requirement for FemSport! Who am I? I looked in the mirror and started not to recognize the reflection staring back. I was transforming on the outside, but more importantly I was transforming on the inside.</div>

Doing something that completely terrified me made me realize a few things about myself. I learned that just because something seems scary, it doesn't mean it's not do-able. Actually, because it's scary, it makes it that much more exciting when you accomplish it. I realized that finding people also trying to accomplish something outside of their comfort zone means you end up surrounding yourself with people who will motivate you to do things you never even <i>dared</i> to dream of doing. Then I realized that after accomplishing it and proving to yourself you can do it, you get to experience one of the best feelings in the world: confidence in yourself. You get to have physical proof that hard work actually does pay off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realized that <i style="font-weight: bold;">I </i>had to put in all the hard work, if I didn't show up to train and put in 100% effort, there would be zero returns/zero gains for <b style="font-style: italic;">me </b>and<b style="font-style: italic;"> for my team</b>. Reaching this goal wasn't just signing up for the competition, it was all of the training and practice and time spent improving my skills and abilities to be ready for this competition. When it's all said and done myself and my team have put in hours and days of work over 12 weeks, all for about 8 minutes of timed work at the competition.</div>

Running Kettle Bells for Time - The purple are 45 lbs each, the green are 55 lbs, the red is 70 lbs! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And guess what? The payoff was HUGE. My team placed 2nd Overall in our division! Now, believe me I was incredibly shocked about this! I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out, and I certainly wasn't <i>expecting</i> to place in this competition! I mean I was <i>hopeful</i> but I also felt like there were a lot of great competitors, so it was anyone's guess who would place! But when they called our name for the silver medal, I had to do a double take! Did I just hear that correctly? Then, when I stood up there with my teammates to receive my medal, it all hit me at once. I did it. I did this thing that at first I wasn't sure I could do, then I thought I could do it, but wasn't sure if I could be good at it, then I realized I was good enough at it that I actually received a medal for it! Not even in my <i>wildest</i> dreams did I think that would happen!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So why am I sharing this with you? Because I want you to know that when I ask people to step out of their comfort zones, I understand what I'm asking you to do, because I know what it feels like to step out of MY comfort zone. I understand that it's scary, and that you may not feel like you can do it, but I promise you if you put your mind to it, <i>you can.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily for you, a boudoir session doesn't even come close to requiring the amount of work before-hand that FemSport has. You only need to show up on the day of your session, with your lingerie, and I will seriously take care of <i>everything</i> else!! And the payoff for you will be HUGE too! You may experience the same emotions I had, being unsure if you'll be able to do it, and then realizing when you're finished that you did it, and that you actually ROCKED it. That it was actually fun, enjoyable, rewarding, and you'll get the greatest gift from all of it: confidence in yourself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my advice about doing things outside of your comfort zone If there's something you want to do that scares you, just do it, just commit to it. What is the worst that's going to happen? Honestly, if I failed miserably at Femsport this weekend, I'm still <b>FAR</b> better off for all the effort I have put in, than I would be if I never even attempted it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's best to accomplish your goals with a team of supportive, like-minded people cheering you on. If I was to train for this on my own, I probably would have given up, or stayed within what's normal for me. Instead, I had other girls rooting me on, and that made a world of difference. People believing in you can be the difference between success and failure, I know it was for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to give a huge shout out to my #PerfectFit4U teammates, Savana and Jamie, as well as all the girls I trained with (pictured below). It was a hell of a fun time training, pushing past our limits, and seeing all our hard work pay off together! I can't wait to do it again next year!!</div>

A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of meeting <a href="http://instagram.com/nixxik/" target="_blank">Nixi</a>, a local tattoo artist stationed at <a href="http://albertainktattoos.ca/" target="_blank">Alberta Ink</a>. Her work is divine, you can check her out on Instagram @Nixxik if you'd like to see the tattoos she creates. We began planning her boudoir session, and I suggested we photograph her on location at Alberta Ink, and she was totally down! YAY, I could barely contain my excitement!!</div>

Firstly let me just say a big thank you to Alberta Ink for letting me shoot there, it's an incredible space, with gorgeous light, and served as a beautiful backdrop for this boudoir session. But secondly, Nixi is a <b>stone cold fox</b>, and she just lit this space up! I was so excited when I walked into this space to shoot because I just knew we were going to make magic happen that day. With a girl this stunning, and a location this cool, this session was going to be awesome, guaranteed! </div>

If you've never been into Alberta Ink, it's an expansive studio space, with two large windows on one end, exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, and lots and lots of tattoo equipment. It was seriously the perfect location to photograph a tattoo artist in, and what better place to start than on her own chair!</div>

Alberta Ink also has some really fun bi-folding walls, so I incorporated that into her session as well. I absolutely love this shot below, it really expresses what boudoir means to me: it's not about <i>baring it all</i>, it's the idea that you <i>could </i>bare it all, but <b>you</b> choose when, and how much. It's about the power of being provocative on your own terms. It's about owning your sexy side! </div>

Nixi is also a huge <a href="http://www.peta.com/" target="_blank">animal rights activist</a>, and it was really important to her to wear her Animal Liberation, Human Liberation vest from <a href="http://www.peta.com/" target="_blank">PETA</a> during her session as the issue is so near and dear to her heart. She has a big heart for all animals, and has even recently rescued a mama pup and her puppies from abandonment! </div>

The awesome thing about photographing a tattoo artist is that generally they also have a lot of tattoos, and photographing beautiful detail shots is one of my favourite things to do. I love all the artwork she has on her body, each piece is so unique, and so stunning! </div>

I love shooting on location because I get to be so creative in my posing and it affords me the opportunity to create new poses, and to create new art! If you're in the market for a tattoo, I highly recommend Nixi as she's such a talented artist - go follow her on Instagram @Nixxik to see her work, or follow @thealbertaink to see what all the artists at the shop get up to! I currently have four tattoos from Nixi, and can not wait to get some more! Want to see what I have for tattoos? Follow me on Instagram @katiepaharaboudoir to check them out!</div>

While I was in between studios this past winter, I was shooting on location a lot, and had the opportunity to shoot at a local hotel here in Lethbridge. Shooting on location presents it's own unique set of challenges, but also gives some opportunities to try new poses, and new techniques! I actually love shooting on location because it allows me to be creative in new ways, and use the space and light around me to create beautiful images. So what are a few of those challenges and what do I do as a photographer to overcome them? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In some situations I am presented with what I would describe as a busy background, what I mean by that is there may be things in the background that are distracting, the decor might not be the best, or things may be in the shot that I don't want there. The first thing I did when shooting at this particular location was make sure to take a good inventory of where everything in the room was, and relocate things that would be eyesores out of the shot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For example, on this bedside table was not only a lamp, but a telephone book (I didn't even know they still made those honestly!), a corded telephone, and a vase. All of those things were distracting, and took away from the main purpose of the shoot: Miss Y. So I took them out of the shot, and now we focus on her and her alone, doesn't she look stunning?!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just because a space is small, doesn't mean it isn't usable, I just have to get creative with posing! So in this shot below I've posed her on this ottoman, with her legs going up the wall, maximizing her va-va-voom, while making great use of a small space. This pose is not one I would typically have taken in my old studio space, and shooting on this location actually inspired me to use this pose in my new studio because I love it so much!</div>

Working on location also forces me to get creative with lighting. This space didn't have enough room for additional lighting, which I'm okay with as I usually shoot with natural light anyways, but because this light was only coming from one source, I was able to use shadows (and this flag) in a really beautiful way!</div>

A little while ago, I had the pleasure of photographing the gorgeous, and extremely patient Miss C! I say she was extremely patient, because her session was one of mishaps and firsts for me as a photographer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It started out like any other morning, I got to the studio, turned on some music, swept and washed the floor as I do every day (I'm a bit OCD when it comes to cleanliness in the studio), and waited for my client and makeup artist/hair stylist to arrive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now normally, anyone I have hired for hair & make-up arrives well before my client, but this morning she wasn't there. At 8:55AM Miss C arrived, and still no hair & make-up artist. I was starting to worry! </div>

The hair & make-up artist I hired for this day is a dear friend of mine who I know to be punctual as hell and always in contact if anything should change, and I began to think all sorts of awful thoughts. What if she got in a car accident? What if she's on the side of the road somewhere and needs help? What if her house burned down? Finally, at 9:30AM I get a message through Facebook from her. All the while, Miss C is patiently waiting with me, and is super understanding!</div>

The message read, "I'm so sorry, my vehicle broke down and I left my phone at home. I had to borrow a ladies phone to log into Facebook to contact you because I don't know your number!" Instantly, I felt relieved to know she was okay and not hurt! I offered to come and get her, but her husband was on his way, and the vehicle needed to be looked at immediately due to the nature of what was wrong with it (don't ask me what that was, I'm not a mechanic lol!). Well now that I know she is okay, this leaves me in a predicament, what am I going to do about Miss C's session?</div>

Luckily, in case of moments like this, I took makeup lessons to make sure my client would still be able to have her boudoir session! I am always very aware of the fact that many women take the day off, and prepare sometimes weeks in advance for their session, and I never want to leave them high and dry, so to speak! So it looks like the day is saved! Well, not so fast....</div>

I have left all my makeup and hair styling tools at home! Thankfully, Miss C is totally laid back about the whole situation, and comes with me for a car ride to my house! Now, I really believe the universe works in mysterious ways, and what happened next proved that this day was no exception. </div>

Earlier that morning I got up and put the evening's supper in the slow cooker, thinking I was being so pro-active, and on top of my eating at home game! However, I completely forgot that on that one particular day, the city planned a power outage in my neighbourhood. When I walked into my house, the lights didn't switch on, and instantly I remembered why. </div>

So I quickly grabbed all my makeup and hair tools in the dark, grabbed my slow cooker, and went back to my car. Miss C held the slow cooker at her feet, while I drove back to the studio to do her makeup and hair. So although it seemed like a disaster at first, Miss C was still able to have her session, and my supper was saved! It was a win-win! </div>

I just want to say a huge thank you to Miss C for her patience and understanding through this very unusual situation! I am so glad it happened the way it did though, because it has shown me that planning for the worst case scenario can pay off, and I actually have come to <i>love</i> doing the hair & make-up for my clients, and now I just take on this role myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has allowed me to be more flexible in my scheduling of my boudoir clients because I just have to work around my own schedule and that's it. It's also helped me to be more helpful to my clients in providing tips and tricks for them before their session for their skin care routine, as well as makeup and product choices for after their session if they want to re-create their look!</div>

<b>Reason #5: It's Probably Totally Unexpected</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For years and years, brides would give their honey's watches, or ties, or cologne, or cuff links, and for years and years grooms <i>expect</i> to get these as gifts. They've heard from their bromigo's that that's what their wives got them for their wedding, so they're expecting something similar from you. Why not knock his socks entirely off by doing something totally unexpected?! You will not only wow him with your images, but you'll also definitely be setting the bar high for the next gift he gets you - so it's a win-in!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When planning out your boudoir session, you can be super crafty and make it the gift that lasts all year! On the night of your wedding, or the morning of, you can give him the first part of his gift, a mini-book with 7 images from your session, with a special note from you inside! Then every month on the anniversary of your wedding, you can give him one picture with a letter attached about what you love most about him or your marriage! Then (okay you have to like the slow-play here!) on your <i>one-year wedding anniversary </i>you can give him the entire album of your images, because... it's your paper wedding anniversary! After a years worth of romantic love letters, and beautiful photos of you, you can bet your marriage will be as passionate as ever! </div>

<b>Reason #3: It's a beautiful way to wear your wedding accessories!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know about you, but I'm super bummed that I only get to wear my wedding accessories once, especially considering all the time and effort I put into finding the absolute perfect shoes, jewelry, and veil. Your boudoir session is a chance to wear all of those items twice, and really have a beautiful memory of each and every one of them. When you do a bridal boudoir session, I get to focus in on those special accessories, and use them to capture these type of accessory shots like you see above. You definitely won't get photos like this on your wedding day! </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Reason #2: It doesn't have to <i>just</i> be bridal !</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Think you can only bring your wedding accessories as props to your session? Think again! You can wear anything you'd like for your boudoir session, and you can add that personal touch that will make your fiancee totally go crazy! For example, his favourite jersey is a super popular prop because he already thinks you look cute wearing it, imagine how much more he's going to appreciate you wearing <i>only</i> it. It doesn't just have to be his jersey either, bring his work shirt, or his favorite t-shirt, or something from his hobbies or personal interests - the sky is the limit! I have seriously seen everything from guns to guitars, you name it, you can bring it and we can probably make it work!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Reason #1: It's the <i>Ultimate Confidence Booster</i></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay yes, it's a beautiful gift for your fiancee, but it's actually (and more importantly) a beautiful gift for yourself. A boudoir session <b>will</b> give you more confidence (don't believe me? read all my testimonials <i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/KatiePaharaPhotographyBoudoir/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">here</a></i>), and can you imagine what you could do with some more confidence? I know so many men who just wish their ladies could see them the way that <i>they</i> see them - as the gorgeous women that they are! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Think about this for a minute: how many times have you asked your fiancee if you look pretty, and how many times has he just answered yes, without even looking up from whatever he's doing, because he's tired of answering that question? Okay now what great men we're blessed with in our lives, but ladies I know we all want our men to drool a little over us, and think we're gorgeous, and TELL us. But I'm going to let you in on a little secret about confidence...it grows when <i>we</i> grow it, not anybody else!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcCaY8ALgU36R1-uZbUEmJ-ODuQk-nhYSlgYG2m_vFsDczPaq0WDsShfRl2U5xuUVfKI7XUUhPNT-u_ZFrkTICOlOft4JC2Suqj5We2sGQF2XkgXMyx8g66JLAuqRVjyGYV8kET8Yrn-R3/s1600/KPP_SP-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcCaY8ALgU36R1-uZbUEmJ-ODuQk-nhYSlgYG2m_vFsDczPaq0WDsShfRl2U5xuUVfKI7XUUhPNT-u_ZFrkTICOlOft4JC2Suqj5We2sGQF2XkgXMyx8g66JLAuqRVjyGYV8kET8Yrn-R3/s640/KPP_SP-8.jpg" width="640" /></a>When you do a boudoir session, you grow your own confidence. You see yourself in the light that your fiancee always see you in, and you actually don't feel like you have to ask that question, "babe do I look pretty today?" because you already know the answer! Can you imagine what a <i>good feeling</i> that is to just <i>feel beautiful</i> without needing outside confirmation? Maybe that seems insignificant, but change begins with the voice in our head and that's what a boudoir session does, changes that voice in your head, and it really is <b><i>life</i></b> changing. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't take my word for it though, come and do your own session and see for yourself. A bridal boudoir session as a groom's gift is amazing because it can be totally unexpected, it can be the gift that keeps on giving, it gives you a chance to wear your wedding accessories again, you can bring all sorts of fun props, and it really is the ultimate confidence booster! If those aren't enough reasons to come and do one, then I've got one more for you: I'm having an incredible bridal boudoir sale! $50 Off any boudoir package, complimentary hair & make-up, same day viewing, & two week turnaround! </div>

I Tell Beautiful Stories is the latest endeavour from Katie Pahara Photography. My clients are an inspiration to me, and hearing their stories of struggle, and overcoming obstacles in their life is easily the best part of my job. Each and every one of my clients has lead an incredible life, and I am honoured to be able to share some of those stories with you. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meet Miss J, a kind and gentle soul, with the biggest heart of any girl I've ever met. Her story brought me to tears, and I am so thankful she wanted me to share it with you. Warning, there is some graphic content in this post, please be aware this is all apart of her story, and the hard times need to be shared in order to understand the impact of the good. In her own words:</div>

"I’m Miss J, I’m 24 and in the most fulfilling relationship of my life. I currently live with my boyfriend whom I absolutely adore. We are the perfect balance of similar and different so every day with him is a new adventure. I’ve lived in Southern Alberta for four years and after leaving a big city like Calgary (where I was born and raised) I feel in love with the quaint atmosphere that is Southern Alberta.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess my story starts when I was in junior high. No matter what school I transferred to, no matter how many people I told, I was bullied relentlessly my <i>entire</i> childhood. I never really understood what a friend was because I didn’t have any. I was picked on for everything; my hair, my clothes, my friends, how I ate my lunch, <i>everything</i>. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was always a bigger teenager, I had gained weight when I quit dance to pursue an arts based middle school, so my weight was a constant, easy insecurity for the bullies to sink their teeth into. Kids used to tell me I couldn’t get on the school bus because there wasn’t room for a whale. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In an effort to make myself thin I stopped eating. I was bulimic and anorexic, and no one knew. The weight never came off. When I got to high school I was so depressed there were days I couldn’t even get out of bed for school. I had no friends. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In grade 12 <b>I gave up.</b> I decided that I had had enough and that I was going to <i>end my life</i>. I called the one friend I had to say goodbye and then walked into my bathroom and proceeded to slit my wrists. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remember fading in and out when I heard my home phone ring. My mom came down the stairs and opened the bathroom door and found me. Her youngest daughter, bleeding, in what I hoped would be, to death.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next day I went to school. I wore a long sleeved shirt (despite the fact that it was the middle of summer) and was called out of my first period class to speak with a guidance counsellor. After speaking with her for less than 5 minutes she determined I was too fragile to be at school and I needed to go see my doctor right away. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Later that day my doctor determined it was in my best interest to be admitted to the hospital, because I was considered a danger to myself. Initially I was told I’d be in the psychiatric ward for 3-5 days to get my stress levels down and then I would be able to return to school after that. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Three days went by, then five, then ten… it took almost two and a half weeks to see the progress of the new meds they put me on and therapy I was doing. Two weeks turned into two months which turned into three. I spent almost <i>four months</i> living in a psychiatric facility. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was released I left with many mental health diagnoses including major depression, anxiety disorder and borderline personality disorder. All three I will struggle to live with every day for the rest of my life. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Borderline personality disorder is one of the hardest to live with. It basically means I have trouble</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
regulating my emotions, so when I'm sad I'm <i>depressed</i> and I don’t leave my bed, but when I'm happy I'm <i>over the moon</i> and just love life. When I'm lonely I feel like I have <i>no one</i> and I cut myself off from the world and so on. I later learned that borderline personality disorder stems from overwhelming fears of abandonment. It took years, therapy, time, and medication to get to the stable point I am at now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like anyone with mental health struggles, I have good days and bad days. Luckily with medication and the support of my friends and family I have way more good days then bad ones now. I have never looked back on my time in the hospital as a bad thing and sometimes when I’m not stable I think of going back to the psychiatric ward because it helped me so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn’t have imagined that this journey would lead me to meet the amazing, supportive people in my life, both now and when I was struggling in the hospital. Now I have overwhelming support from my amazing friends, family and boyfriend. I also have the emotional support of my dog Biscuit, and cat Calliope. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was in the hospital my mom, grandpa, and sister came and visited me every day, reminding me that I was loved and I wasn’t going to be in the hospital forever. I also made great friend in the psychiatric ward, some of whom I still talk to today. It was amazing to have all this support and love suddenly around me right when I needed it the most. I will forever be grateful for the people in my life and I try my hardest everyday to show everyone the same love and support I was shown. </div>

I have overcome so much in my life and I wanted to share my experience with other people so that young girls who are bullied, girls who are bigger, girls who hate themselves and how they look can see a confident young women, who walked through the fire, standing before them saying, <b><i>"I’m here and I’m beautiful too."</i></b> I got an overwhelming response of people who loved my photos and told me how beautiful I was (and that I had a nice booty) and that was incredible to me because I have never felt beautiful or sexy. Doing a boudoir session, <b>I felt more empowered about my body than I ever have before. I truly felt beautiful.</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here’s my advice to girls who are bullied: who F**king cares what other people think. Not everyone is going to like you but at the end of the day the only person who needs to like you is <b>YOU</b>. You need to be able to look in the mirror and say you are happy with yourself. Stop focusing on flaws and focus on your triumphs. </div>

You are a strong woman who can over come anything. There is no test to what the human mind is resilient to, but if I can go through something as terrible as I did and still come out on the other side, you can too. Life sucks sometimes but you just got to pick your head up. It does get better, I promise." - Miss J</div>

Miss J, there are no words for how grateful I am that you have been willing to share this story with all of us. It takes courage to stand up for yourself, and to press on even though you've endured so much, and we are all so glad you are here to share your story with us. Thank you for your words of encouragement, I know someone is reading this somewhere and needed to hear someone say, "It's okay, I see you and what's happening to you, and I have been there, and it does get better." So thank you Miss J, you are a true gem!</div>

Featuring Miss T<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lot of people talk to me about a boudoir session, what they need to bring, what they should wear, how to prepare for it, etc. Today I want to address a concern I think a lot of women have, what is the sexiest thing you can wear to your session? So many women have a hard time really <i>owning</i> the adjective "sexy" because so many of them have never <i>felt</i> that way before, can you relate? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It can be hard to pick any outfit if you don't feel like a sexy individual, and it can be even harder trying to figure out what <i>does</i> look sexy on your body type, if you don't see yourself that way. I have seen clients walk through my doors, and when they're ready to start their boudoir session, they look like SUPER MODELS, but until they FEEL like one, it won't matter, because we believe that we have to feel sexy, before we can be sexy, and that just isn't the case. Today, I'm challenging that belief and putting the whole idea on it's head! The stunning Miss T embodies what this post is all about, so enjoy her sneak peek while we chat sexiness - and a big thank you to <a href="http://facebook.com/makeupbyprogga/" target="_blank">Makeup by Progga</a> for the gorgeous make-up application! </div>

I want to remind you that everyone puts their pants on the same way, one leg at a time, and all these women/celebrities/models/friends/etc that we think look like bombshells, may not always <i>feel</i> like bombshells. It really comes down to the "fake it 'til you make it" idea ladies! Put on your sexy clothes, even if you don't <i>feel</i> sexy, because if you stay in them long enough, eventually you will! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want you to think about the last time you wore your lingerie for an hour, can you even remember a time when you did that? And this is not including the 3.5 seconds it takes for your man to take it off of you! That is one of the mystifying powers of doing a boudoir session, you're in your lingerie for an hour! You are in clothes that make you look sexy... for an hour! That's a lot of time to start feeling comfortable, and even to start <i>feeling</i> sexy in those clothes!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">So guess what happens once you start </span><i style="text-align: center;">feeling</i><span style="text-align: center;"> sexy? You </span><i style="text-align: center;">become</i><span style="text-align: center;"> sexy. And ladies, this is one of the most valuable things I've learned from being a boudoir photographer: sexy is a state of mind, not a wardrobe choice, not an outfit, not a hair style. Yes all of those things can help you feel that way, but it is a state of mind! Why does it matter if it comes from inside or outside? It matters because...</span><br />

Being sexy isn't about showing the most amount of skin, or wearing the most revealing lingerie or clothing, or having your hair or makeup done, sexy is about being confident. Like Demi Lovato says, "What's wrong with being confident?" Women who come to their session with confidence are already ahead of the game, but for those of you who don't think you're quite there yet, let me tell you this: Confidence can be practiced! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Doing things like a boudoir session, putting yourself first on the priority list, going out of your comfort zone to try new experiences, those are all things that instil confidence in you! And the biggest secret of all: confidence is <i>the</i> sexiest thing you can wear to your boudoir session. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take Miss T for example, she looks absolutely jaw-dropping in every single outfit, but guess what she's wearing: workout clothes, a sweater, a baseball jersey. Clothing that you wouldn't necessarily associate with sexiness. Yes, she's got some excellent lingerie thrown into the mix, but I think she looks equally as gorgeous in ALL of these outfits, not <i>just</i> the lingerie. Confidence and being sexy are a state-of-mind, and I always believe that if you bring that first, no matter what else you bring with you, you're going to rock your session, just like Miss T! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you agree sexy is a state of mind? Let me know in the comments, I always love to hear your thoughts!</div>

<b>1. A Floral Dress</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Floral print is EVERYWHERE right now, and it's so gorgeous on everyone! You can get floral print in any color, to suit your skin tone, and in any type of floral pattern! It's so versatile! I LOVE this wrap dress (I want one!), and because it's still fitted in the waist, Miss S looks amazing in it! A key aspect when planning for your boudoir session is to make sure that whatever you bring fits you! It shouldn't be too small, but it also shouldn't be too big either! A wrap dress is a great idea because it will fit exactly as you tie it, giving you options if you move up or down a dress size before your session! </div>

<b>2. Classic bra & panty set, in a fun color!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Miss S rocks both the fun color, and the classic black bra & panty set in her photoshoot, and you can too! Picking a bright color is fairly easy to do, look for something that matches your skin tone. Don't know how to find your skin tone? It's seriously a piece of cake! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>To find your skin tone:</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take a white piece of paper and hold it up to your face, then decide:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If your skin looks yellowy, greeny, or brown, you've got warm skin tones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If your skin looks pinky, bluey, or rosy then you've got cool skin tones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're skin looks grey/ashey then you've got neutral skin tones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(For more about this, see <a href="http://www.thelist.com/20621/best-clothing-colors-skin-tone/" target="_blank">this great article</a> on finding <a href="http://www.thelist.com/20621/best-clothing-colors-skin-tone/" target="_blank">skin tones</a>) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you've determined your skin tone, you can determine what colors look best on you! Warm skin tones can rock the corals and honey colors (like Miss S here), cool skin tones can do the lavenders and blues really well, and neutral skin tones you get the cream of the crop, you can wear whichever colors you like best! Having a fun pop of color can really add a cheeky touch to your session - and you can pair your outfit with a bright pair of high heels, or go for the nude pumps like Miss S did, they both work!</div>

Miss S has elegantly paired her bodysuit with a long necklace and nude pumps, and that keeps this outfit super classy! Bodysuits are everywhere right now, and hey you can even get them in floral! Two birds with one stone! </div>

Bodysuits can look great on every body type, just make sure that the suit fits you properly in all areas! You can look for fun mesh netting in patterns that accentuate what you've got to show off, and hide anything you don't want to be seen - it's a win-win!</div>

Sometimes thinking outside the box pays off when it comes to really showing off your personality in your boudoir session, so look for sexy wrap dresses and body suits at places outside the lingerie store - you'll be amazed at what you can find! </div>
