This is just to let you all know that my upcoming Boudoir Marathon is now fully booked. If you were considering booking a spot in this marathon but didn’t respond quick enough and are still interested, please feel free to contact me. The more emails I get – the more I will be up for planning another marathon sooner rather than later. These marathons are LOADS of fun, I cannot get enough of them!

I’d like to share a beautiful testimonial from a former boudoir marathon attendee that really touched my heart. I love to hear feedback from my girls who have had a wonderful time at these shoots. My goal is to make them feel beautiful inside and out and I feel like I have accomplished that when I hear things like this:

“Passion. Emotion. Feeling. Sensuality. Feminity. A few of the more than 1 000 words that come across the pictures taken by Melissa during my boudoir photoshoot. Melissa’s love of photography comes through as she clicks away and eases through the photo shoot by talking, laughing and engaging with her client. It is clear to see that Melissa’s lovable and quirky personnality defines her work yet making the photo shoot comfortable and enjoyable. Having the opportunity to come out of my shell and capture the essence of my soul and inner self has proven to be an outstanding experience that I would love to live again”. – Camille

Thank you so much for that very touching email Camille, I truly appreciate it!

Like I have mentioned in the past – we have a total BLAST at these sessions and I am more then thrilled to be spending another fun filled day with some gorgeous ladies!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon

The boudoir marathon that took place a couple weeks ago was a huge success! With a group of 6 amazing women and one talented makeup artist, what more could a photographer ask for!?

To tell you the truth, at first I was very dubious about offering boudoir sessions, but hearing those ladies mention how much fun they had and how great they felt after their shoot, I won’t even think twice about having another one!

The reason why I offer these sessions is mainly because I am a huge believer that a woman’s beauty goes beyond that of their physical body. Beauty comes from within. No matter what shape or form, if you are comfortable with who you are inside then you will be one radiant and confident lady on the out. I strongly believe that I was surrounded with those gorgeous ladies during my last marathon. Here is what some of those ladies had to say about their experience:

‘ I am so happy I did the boudoir shoot. It was an amazing experience – very empowering! I never would have guessed! I was so comfortable, Mel and Dee Dee make a really great team! I would do it again for sure! ‘

‘ I was so incredibly impressed with the boudoir photo shoot experience. The work of Dee Dee was impecable and she was able to capture my look perfectly. Mel was a fantastic photographer to work with. She had a vision for each of us and went with it. Overall, it was a great day and an experience I’ll never forget…but the picture will help remind me! ‘

‘ I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful time I had yesterday. I was quite stressed at the beginning but you were wonderful at making me feel comfortable. Can’t wait to see the final product! ‘

‘ The boudoir marathon was one of the best experiences of my life! I was a little nervous before arriving but once I got there and got my makeup up done, it slowly went away. I would totally recommend this to any woman and to do it with Melissa! She was amazing and made me feel so comfortable! ‘

Thanks again to all of the amazing ladies who came out and rocked it! And a huge thank you to my extraordinary makeup artist, Dee Dee. I couldn’t have done it without you! xoxo

** Edited to add: Boudoir marathon is fully booked. If you were interested in booking me for a boudoir session, please contact me so I can possibly book another date!

Without further ado, here is what is going down:

For this event, I have 7 spots available throughout the day. Here are the available times:  8am, 9am, 10am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm – Contact me to reserve your spot. A non-refundable deposit of 100.00$ is required to guarantee your place.

Don’t forget that Valentine’s day is right around the corner and some sexy boudoir images of yourself would make great gifts for the hubby! Gift certificates are also available.

Contact me quick! I am looking forward to the day spent with some gorgeous ladies!
