the photo experience

Portrait of Karyn

the PHOTOGRAPHEr

I'm Karyn, a portrait photographer with over 20 years experience and I have an ongoing passion for boudoir-style empowerment sessions. I'm here to celebrate YOU - every dimple, scar, mark, bulge, every discoloured stretch mark, every perfect imperfection that characterises you and makes you human, I'm here to celebrate it!

Embracing your power may seem vulnerable, but it's also liberating and deeply therapeutic.

I'm in continuous training to offer you a therapeutic approach, a trauma-informed service that respects each person's limits, using a decolonizing language to soften the experience.

More about me โ€ฆ

the experience

Packages include a questionnaire and a video consultation to prepare our time together. Relaxation and connection during make-up and hairstyling. A creative experience of an hour, or more, with Karyn, a photo session tailored to your needs; in the studio, in your home, or on-location, and including a minimum of three scenes and outfit changes. All in a casual yet structured atmosphere. I demonstrate the poses with guided artistic direction, while leaving room for spontaneous moments.

The experience ends with the unveiling of the images, in person, or virtually with an online gallery, for the selection and ordering of your images and album.

the investissement

A personalized album is included.  Made from archival-quality materials with silver halide photographic paper, edge-mounted on acid-free cardboard and spine-bound so that the album opens flat.  Prices include a custom layout of 10 pages, or 20 sides.  This 5-star album offers the most beautiful cover-to-cover options, with additional pages and fabulous embellishment features available.  The studio also conceptualizes bespoke wall art and decor pieces.

To the highest standards, our work comes from professional laboratories and passes through my hands for superior quality control.  All paper and wood-based products are FSC-certified and all waste is reused or recycled.

Why an album ?

Itโ€™s a superior product and itโ€™s how I personally prefer to archive my own sessions !
Through years of experience, Iโ€™ve concluded that an album offers the most beautiful, discreet, and luxurious way to showcase our images. I do offer prints and artwork, but designing pieces that can sit inconspicuously in your space is what I enjoy offering most.

the deets

  • Questionnaire : Be sure to fill out the questionnaire that was emailed to you, it really helps in preparing for our time together (didn't receive it? Check your spam or let us know so we can resend).

    Consultation - a phone or video call is set up to discuss and prepare. This letโ€™s us break the ice a little and get to know each other, answer any and all of your questions.

    Preparation : Do not underestimate the value of a fresh haircut in your photography investment. A manicure and pedicure are also highly recommended for a finished look, this gives us variety in the poses. And, if you prefer to be bronzed, I recommend a vaporized tan and please don't try anything new before the session.

    Prep the outfits you'd like to be photographed in and don't be afraid to practise your "look" in the mirror. I will be there to coach you every step of the way but hey it's still fun to do, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Please come to the studio with a clean and exfoliated face, and bring your favourite products... It's fun to discover new stuff! Also arrive with your hair clean and dry, otherwise, please arrive with your hair already styled.

    Unless otherwise specified, I personally provide your beauty makeover during these creative explorations. However, depending on availability and desired results, a PRO make-up & hair artist / assistant photographer can join us for an additional fee of $200.

  • ONE rule to follow : you have to feel beautiful !
    Whatever makes you feel inspired, confident, strong, centred, sexy, sensual, comfortable, powerful โ€ฆ bring it. Any accessories you want to include in the photos such as jewelry, comfy sweaters, scarves or tank tops that look cute with your sets, bring those. Iโ€™ll help you pick each fit for each scene and pose weโ€™ve prepared.

  • The Day of our Photography Session :

    โซธ Be sure to drink lots of water and eat a decent meal before you come in.
    โซธ Don't forget the outfits and any accessories you want to include in the photos.
    โซธ I demonstrate each pose and guide you through sequences to create a variety. I direct and structure our time together, while also allowing space for more organic, spontaneous moments to bring out something unique.

  • The viewing and ordering appointment for your images is set at a later date and takes approx. 60-90 minutes. In-person or with a video call and an online gallery, I assist and guide you in the selection process. These galleries have minimal post-production edits for this presentation, only selected images are retouched. We finalize the package options and album details such as page count, finishing, cover material, featured images, etc. that you desire.

  • Each image selected is ever so slightly retouched and edited to provide a polished final photograph. Please note that I do not remove permanent marks, or wrinkles, or cellulite, or anything that makes you you ! Personally, I find all the real bits the most beautiful !
