Victoria BC Boudoir Photography - Second Sessions

“Do it. Do the thing that sits on your ribs and whispers of lava centres and passions ignited. Do it, the thing that writes happiness in your bones. Do it, the thing you don’t do but you should do. Do it, the thing that makes your heart beat. Do it, the thing that makes your skies melt. Do it, the thing that makes you, alive.”

– Brooke Solis

This wonderful woman has been in my studio before - many moons ago when the walls were still robins eggs blue, and the both of us were still growing into the women we would soon become. It’s been more than a couple years, and I’ve had the honour of hearing how this woman has chased her dreams, followed her heart, and done things that would scare the pants off of a lot of other people.

I love second, or third, or fourth + shoots. There’s a beauty in a first session, but follow-up sessions can have so much more room to play. With a foundational session behind us, the magic really comes alive and I can see people slip easier into themselves in a second session. It becomes easier for them to get into their body and out of their head – their essence flows more easily and we can capture some truly intimate and magical things.

On a side-note, this is the first blog post of the new year, and I’m making a trend projection/manifestation: sweaters, no pants. I’ve already done three sessions like this since my initial selfie session got published – and I’m just sayin’…. everyone should get on board this band wagon because it’s a hecka good one. #sweatersnopants #winniethepoohstyle
