Why Boudoir?
Your body - no matter how tall, short, curvy, thin, young, mature... is simply a body that I transform into art.
A boudoir session with me isn't really about the outfit (though we do have an incredible client closet), or the hair and make up (though our artists are incredible). A boudoir session is about emotions. It's about the transformative experience and the healing of old wounds. Though this isn't a magic one size fits all healing trick, boudoir can be an incredible step in your healing journey to self love.
The reason I love boudoir so much is that it can be so powerful to see images of yourself that a stranger views as the most beautiful things she has ever seen. It's about having someone right by your side at every step, hyping you up, and laughing with you.
It's about knowing that you were able to get outside of your comfort zone and totally flourished.
boudoir isn't about being sexy for someone else.
It's about love for yourself.
Join the FACEBOOK empowerment group
Facebook VIP GROUP
The main focus of the group is female empowerment. I share posts focused on body positivity, self esteem and positive affirmations as well as fun games, jokes and light hearted stuff. It's a great group of women who lift each other up. I also share photos from sessions, behind the scenes footage from live sessions, show off the gorgeous products. It's a safe, inclusive space for women to be themselves. There are also monthly giveaways for those who choose to interact frequently with the group!

I hear a lot of objections when it comes to why women are waiting to do a boudoir session. I'm too fat, too old, I'm not curvy enough, I don't look like a lingerie model, I have cellulite, I have stretch marks, I have scars. The list goes on and on. TRUTH TIME. 99% of Victoria Secret models are photoshopped, 80% of all people have stretch marks, 80% of women have cellulite, the average clothing size is 16-18. Those scars? They tell a part of your story, that story is beautiful.
Truth is you are a person, people come in all shapes and sizes and we aren't all meant to be the same! You have always been enough. You have always been worthy. The most important thing you can be in this world is yourself! Maybe your self love game is strong, maybe it's in progress still. Either way, I'm your hype girl, let me make you feel comfortable, confident and beautiful. Then let the photos prove to you how beautiful you truly are.
Behind the Scenes
About Amy
Hygge- the danish word meaning a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well- being; is my ideal state of being. I love nothing more than being at home, with my man and my dog, reading a good book with a great smelling candle burning and a latte by my side.
I haven't always been a person who loved herself, it is a process, and not always an easy one. But the feeling I get when women look at their images and realize how amazing and beautiful they are really fills my cup. Helping women in their self love journey is the best part of this job..
My clients come from all walks of life, they are all ages, all sizes, all ethnicities. They often tell me their stories, stories of struggling with eating disorders, struggling with a new body after childbirth, struggling accepting their body as it is. They also tell me stories of acceptance, and self love, and what it's like to finally love the skin they are in. What I've learned through all of this is that we are a lot more similar than I ever thought. I always felt alone in my struggles, alone with my thoughts, I felt that it wasn't acceptable for me to even like myself the way I was, that because I had some extra pounds I was supposed to hate myself and punish myself until I looked a certain way. This job has shown me that it's okay to be who I am, it's okay to give myself grace and treat myself with love and kindness. My hopes are that I can help other women feel this way as well. You are not alone!
HEY! IT'S ME! I'M AMY. I'M A KITCHENER, ONTARIO BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER. I TREASURE AUTHENTICITY AND EMBRACING YOURSELF AS YOU ARE.

Amy made me feel so comfortable and confident in what was my first ever experience doing a boudoir photoshoot. I felt seen, heard and our session really empowered me and my self-confidence towards my body after 3 kids. I truly enjoyed this experience and would recommend her to every woman desiring an experience like this! The photos turned out STUNNING! So happy with them. THANK YOU!

10/10 would do it again! Amy was awesome to work with and made me feel so comfortable. I was a bit worried as we are all programmed to feel shame in our bodies but Amy had a way of just making everything feel so easy and natural! Loved the experience, every woman should do it at some point!
