Shawna -
OWNER/PHOTOGRAPHER
I love my little life here in Calgary with my wonderful partner Mike. We enjoy the outdoors and travelling. As for me, I am a wee bit obsessed with photography and that is why I love my job so much! I have been a professional photographer for over 16 years now specializing in boudoir and weddings. I like to have fun at sessions, so don’t be embarrassed as I get a little silly to make sure you take your mind off being nervous. I hope to capture you as you are! My number one goal is that you are comfortable in front of the camera.

LOCATION
about the studio
We are happy to welcome you to our beautiful studio space in the South East of Calgary. This wonderfully cozy studio is filled with creative energy, consisting of 7 gorgeous areas that ooze femininity. We also have a gorgeous staircase of which there is a beautiful 9 foot long chandelier specifically for boudoir. There is also a piazza with beautiful french doors! Our studio is fully equipped with natural & artificial lighting, gorgeous furniture, and a myriad of props and backdrops. We love photographing inside these walls, using its stimulating energy to create many more masterpieces. We invite you to come meet us, have a look at our space, see the samples of our luxury line of albums and share your dreams!
urban
An Urban session will take you to a location that is just minutes from the studio. It includes spray painted concrete walls and railway tracks. This session is hip, fun & sexy . . . so enjoy!
country
An orchard, barn, or field describes a country setting best. I would describe these images as whimsical and dreamy. I have locations near the studio that are just a short drive away. They are in a private setting and will make for romantic, magical photography. You can view some outdoor sessions on our blog.

who is the photo session for?
03
Tease Boudoir Photography specializes in photography for all women who want to celebrate the beauty of their bodies and personalities, and create unique artwork capturing their femininity and sensuality. Every stage of womanhood is wonderful; while having its own dimension and allowing different sides of her to shine, women constantly change and evolve physically, emotionally and spiritually. From the purity of a senior to a gentle young bud of a woman in her twenties; from the one who knows her body in her thirties, to the one who knows her body and soul in her forties, to the beautiful liberated lady in the full bloom of fifties, celebrating her soul, womanhood and character in sixties – we enjoy photographing and capturing the beauty of all these moments, while creating beautiful artwork to be enjoyed forever. Motherhood, sisterhood and friendships are amazing bonds shared by women throughout their lives and we enjoy creating portraiture series capturing these connections.
do you edit the photographs?
04
Yes, we do artistic editing as well as light airbrushing - Shawna is a professional photo editor and can get rid of complex problems such as unwanted cellulite, heavy stretch-marks and other little things you wouldn’t want to see in the photos. Please let us know if you have specific editing requests.
please tell me about the pricing process?
05
To secure your session time and date, a non-refundable 50% deposit is required. Your remaining total will be due one week prior to your photo shoot. Professional makeup is included in all of our packages, while professional hair styling is either included, or is available for an additional $60 as an add-on. Depending on your package choice, we will photograph the number of looks (outfit changes) included in your package during your session. About one to two weeks following your photo session, we will email you your own personal password protected proofing website of about 70 to 130 of your best images. The first few images will be retouched (teasers) and then the remaining will be untouched. You will then be able to select your favourite images and, if you wish, purchase any extra images, upgrades and products in addition to the ones included in your package. Please note that all our packages are priced before taxes. GST will be applied to your total.
how should i prepare for the shoot?
06
Once you book your session date, we will send you our basic Preparation Guide to help you get organized for your session. We suggest to have your regular pampering routine done a few days before the shoot, which may include: manicure/pedicure, getting your hair done (color), etc. Try to avoid getting plastic surgery or any kind of facials before the photo shoot since it might greatly affect the final result. Try to give your face or body at least 4 weeks time to heal before coming in for the photo shoot.
the women you shoot, are they all models?
07
Almost all of our clients are regular people who have no experience in modelling and have never been photographed professionally before. Some of our clients come in as timid and shy girls and leave as energized and confident women who got a chance to express their inner sensuality in a new and exciting way. We photograph only for our clients and our goal as artists is to make each woman feel beautiful and appreciated for her uniqueness, regardless of their body type, size, height or experience in the modeling field.
how soon after the photo shoot will i be able to see the images?
08
About 1 to 2 weeks following your shoot, we will invite you to your personal website. You will then be able to select your favourite images, decide on the cover of your album and purchase any additional products and upgrades.
how soon after the viewing session will i receive my photos?
09
Once we place the order with our printing lab, it takes about 14-18 days for the album, and about 5-7 days for fine art prints to arrive into your hands.

Wa rdro be A QUESTION WE HEAR MOST OFTEN IS . . .
what should I wear for my boudoir photo shoot? Your photo shoot wardrobe can be composed of everyday things, such as sweaters and tank tops, and/or more glamorous lingerie and corsets. Items we always recommend to bring are high heels, stockings, thongs, bodysuits, bustiers and bras with good support. From classic black to soft pastels to bridal white to bright neon hues, lace and silk look great on every body type. Prepare a wardrobe that suits and flatters your body type. Make sure all items fit you well. Once you are booked we will send you our welcome magazine that will help you create your look as well. We also have a Shopping Guide which will provide you with recommendations for local lingerie stores and we will even provide you with discounts!! We encourage our clients to bring as many wardrobe items as they want, regardless of the number of looks in their package, so that we can experiment and mix and match items to put together the most suitable outfits. Shawna has an exceptional styling and fashion sense, so you can fully rely on her advice!
BEFORE
makeup & hair styling
The day of your photo shoot is the time for you to shine and look your very best! That’s why all of our packages include a professional makeup service, as it is an integral part of the preparation process so that you are camera ready. Our 4 amazing artists are talented and experienced and will enhance your natural beauty and conceal anything that is unwanted (blemishes, uneven skin tone, etc). Basic hair styling is also very important to the final results. One of the most complimentary hair styles for boudoir photography is soft and romantic waves. Our professionals are experts in creating such a look.
our airbrushing & editing philosophy
Our retouching philosophy is to stay away from unnecessary and excessive photoshopping. Our magazine quality retouching techniques are there to gently and subtly emphasize and enhance your most beautiful angles and conceal anything that takes away from your beauty (blemish, uneven skin tone, a distracting skin fold, cellulite, etc). Our professional retouching techniques were carefully developed to intensify natural beauty without taking away from what makes you, YOU!
