introduction


In the world of photography, capturing the essence of a person's individuality and personality is an art. As a photographer, one of the most rewarding experiences is working with a client who is not afraid to express themselves. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing Alanna in a unique portrait session that left an indelible mark on both of us.


In this post, I'll carry you through the process, the team and some behind the scenes videos.

the beauty team


Living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a small city, we're fortunate to easily find like-minded creative people.


The session kicked off with the expert touch of Muriel (@rielbeautyy) who worked her magic with the makeup, while Chante (@sliceyfingers) styled Alanna's hair to perfection. The final touch was a stunning manicure by Candace (@colourmecandy). The collective efforts of this talented team transformed Alanna into a radiant vision, ready for her close-up.

THEMES


The photoshoot was a fusion of different themes and outfits, adding a touch of personal style and creativity:

  1. A stunning gold dress paired with champagne
  2. A sleek black fitted dress complemented by a cake
  3. A glamorous gold bathing suit
  4. A daring combination of a gold bathing suit, white wet sheet, and gold foil


capturing emotions


Alanna wanted to exude power, boldness, sexiness, and confidence - emotions that we were determined to encapsulate in each click of the camera. Every pose, every glance, and every smile was a testament to her inner strength and beauty. As a photographer, it was a thrilling experience to help Alanna channel these emotions and capture them in a series of unforgettable images.

The reveal


”I don’t know how to feel, I’m just in shock”


Doing in person reveals is what fuels me. I love feeling the energy that you give off when you see these beautiful photographs for the first time!


Alanna was in disbelief. I completely agree, this photoshoot is our best one yet!
