International Women's Day Fundraiser Set for 2025

By Jesse Mercedes • January 13, 2025

Allow me to unveil 2025's IWD Fundraiser mini session set!!!!

KEEP UP WITH ME ON INSTAGRAM!!

I am now booking February-April 2025!✨ April books have JUST been opened so if you've been waiting for an April session and want prime picking at dates, shoot me an email through my website 🥳🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ Now that we're booking into early spring... I want to gently remind brides that if you're planning on gifting a boudie session and/or products for your big day, you need a minimum of 8-10 weeks between session date and when you want products in hand for! Typically I say aim to have your products in hand 1-2 weeks prior to the wedding so you're not scrambling last minute! 💍 ⁠ ⁠ April is going to be the month that my 🌸JUNE🌸 (or later) brides are going to want to be booking!! If you're getting married in May I do still have availability in March as well💒⁠ ⁠ As always, shoot me a dm with any questions! 🫶🏼

Allow me to let you in on a little secret...⁠ ⁠ HEYYYY, I’m Jess—your confidence fairy godmother, boudoir expert, and personal hype gal. 💫 I created Bare Soul Boudoir after realizing the incredible impact this art form could have on my clients.⁠ ⁠ The secret? This isn’t just a photoshoot.⁠ ⁠ In almost six years, I’ve worked with everyday women from all walks of life and witnessed, firsthand hundreds of times, how boudoir has the power to heal in SO. MANY. WAYS. ✨⁠ ⁠ 💖 Whether you’re looking to feel at home in your body, reclaim your power, celebrate leaving a toxic relationship, or finally feel at peace in a healthy one...⁠ ⁠ 💖 Whether you need a confidence boost or want to honor how far you’ve come...⁠ ⁠ 💖 If you’re tired of feeling like you’re not beautiful or struggling to silence that little voice in your head telling you you’re not enough...⁠ ⁠ Boudoir is for YOU.⁠ ⁠ I don’t take this job lightly. I understand the power I have to make or break a woman’s self-esteem, which is why I pour so much time, attention, and detail into every aspect of what I do. I truly adore this art form. The transformations I see in my clients are incredible, and hearing how their sessions have impacted them is the most heartwarming part of my work.⁠ ⁠ Boudoir is a reset button. A breath of fresh air. A new perspective through unbiased eyes.⁠ ⁠ Let’s be real: self-love isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. The tough side of self-love means getting vulnerable, stripping down (figuratively and literally in this case, lol), and facing the feelings that have weighed you down. It’s saying, “Enough is enough,” and choosing to change the narrative. 🥹🥹 As they say, growth doesn’t happen inside your comfort zone.⁠ ⁠ With me and my team, your experience is intentionally crafted, down to the tiniest detail:⁠ 🖤 Professional make-up & hair⁠ 🖤 Access to HUGE XS-6X Client Closet⁠ 🖤 A full resource library to help you prepare before hand⁠ 🖤 FULL posing guidance and styling support throughout⁠ ⁠ From start to finish, we’ve got you covered. 🖤👏🏼⁠ ⁠ If you have any questions or want to chat about what your boudoir experience could look like, feel free to shoot me a message! 🖤

It’s no secret that outdoor sessions will forever have my heart. Something so beautiful, so serene and so powerful about connecting with yourself and nature in this way. 💫🖤 More from this moody forest session just went up on the blog🫶🏼 ALSO- CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE NEWEST CLIENT CLOSET ROBE FOR A SEC?!?!?! 😩🤩 And @trinityswitzer NAILS?!?? She’s a super talented nail tech, go give her a follow!!!! ✨ @trinity.enhancedesthetics 💅🏼 Makeup by @tuniimakeup was just so fitting for this green moody vibe, we all brought this together so beautifully 🌲🤎

I'll never ever get tired of capturing beautiful mom-to-be's 🥹 🍂✨️🫶🏼🤰🏻 It's truly such a special time in a moms life and being able to freeze it in time for them to re-live for years to come is seriously SUCH an honour 🥹 Dealing with all the changes your body goes through during pregnancy can be hard, a session like this allows you to see how beautiful growing a tiny human is 🙂‍↕️🍼 More from this magical session can be found on the blog on my website 👀 Maternity sessions can be booked in studio any time of year or outdoors from June-October 🫶🏼

If you're not already in the VIP Group- COME HANGGG!! (18+, women only) I'm so incredibly proud of the little community we've built over there. From asking advice for upcoming sessions to asking for show recommendations to sharing pics in your new lingerie. Think of it as a besties group chat 🥲😍⁠ ⁠ OH ANDDDDD we do fun giveaways and polls and you get lots of sneaks at stuff hehehe 👀 You know where to find the link 😉⁠ **All membership questions must be answered in order to be accepted!

Some recent words from past clients about their experiences comin in HOTTT 👇🏼⁠ ⁠ 💫"I had a blast! I was so nervous the week leading up to it, and then the entire drive, the closer I got, the more my nerves kicked in. This is totally out of my comfort zone - I have been wanting to try boudoir for years and searched it up on Google a month ago and knew Bare Soul was the one for me. Between getting me dolled up and chatting the whole time (I’m an introvert so this was helpful) I wasn’t even thinking about it! I was busy getting pampered. Jess hyped me up the whole time making me laugh and smile, showed me everything, and during the entire shoot I didn’t even think of any of my insecurities. Acne, razor burns, stretch marks, bloating, weight, literally nothing came to my mind, which is crazy. I will definitely be coming back for more shoots and can’t wait until my photos are back!!"⁠ ⁠ 💫 "I was so nervous going into my session, but once we started hair and make up Jess and her team were so calm and kind! @tuniimakeup did my hair and makeup and she kept the conversations flowing so easily, I honestly didn’t know why I was even so nervous in the first place! Jess is so positive and she’s like your own cheerleader during the session which makes it so much easier! This is definitely something I would recommend to anyone, especially if you’re looking for ways to increase some self love!"⁠ ⁠ 💫 "I had the absolute best time ever! Jess and her team made me so comfortable and it really felt like I had known them forever. I couldn’t recommend getting pictures with this team more and I’ll definitely be back!"⁠ ⁠ Reviews like this seriously make me so incredibly happy. It's an honour to be even just a small part of these incredible women's self love journey. ❤️

I somehow manage to forget to post about these GORGEOUS robes in the client closet. We've so lovingly named them the "I just killed my husband robes" 😂😂😂😂😂 ⁠ I've now got 4 of these beauties available for you to use for your sessions! (& let's be real I'll likely end up with more in the future) ⁠ ⁠ This peachy colour, red, purple and a teal-ish green are the current colours I have🤩

ITSSSS MEEEEEE✨ here to introduce you to the 5 new backdrop colours I’ve added to the studio ✨😍 #1 - Bone 🦴 #2 - Ash Grey 🩶 #3 - Thunder Grey ⛈️ #4 - Baby Blue 🦋 #5 - Baby Pink 🌸 This brings my collection up to 11 total colours (not pictured but available: Barney purple, White, Red, Rust, Evergreen & Dark Brown) Which of the new colours is your fav?🤩👇🏼💭 Mine is without a doubt the thunder grey with bone being a CLOSE second ✨

🚨THIS IS NOT A DRILLLLLL🚨 We are only 2 days out from our most popular minis opening for booking!!!!! 👀 Our annual January shower minis are a client FAV & for good reason 👀🚿 Allow me to remind you that this is the ONLY time you're able to book a shower session with me so run don't walk your booty over to the email list sign up so you don't miss out!!!! 💌⁠ There is a blog post up on my website with a gallery from 2024's minis if you wanna see the vibes ✨ ⁠ ⁠ Booking opens to the email list Nov 17th @ 10am ⁠ Session date is January 11th at our usual venue 🚿⁠ ⁠ I've said it before & I'll say it again- IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO START YOUR YEAR OFF RIGHTTTTT?!?! ✨🤩 Let 2025 be the year you stop giving yourself excuses, the year you show yourself some love, the year you do something that scares the SHIT out of you for the sake of growth 🩶 @tuniimakeup & I can't wait to make magic with youuuuuu! As always I'm here if you have any questions, you know where to find me 🫶🏼🤪

The honey bonus set is a client fav & for GOOD reason 👏🏼🍯✨🐝

If you know anything about me you know that in my personal life, you will not catch me dead wearing pink, ya girl is a pink hater tbh 😂😂😂 BUT I will not deny that SOOO many babes absolutely ROCK pinks from the client closet 😍 This stunning hot pink satin 2 piece set is seriously SOOO stunning on this babe🤩🤩 ⁠ ⁠ What colours would you lean towards for a session? 👀👇

Let me let you in on why a pre-wedding bridal boudie sesh is a good idea 👀👇🏼⁠ ⁠ ✨ WEDDING PLANNING IS STRESSFUL DUDE?!?! You 1 million percent deserve to throw something on the agenda that is designed to do the exact opposite. The stress of lining up all your vendors, deciding colours and guest lists and food etc, having to manage rsvp's can all be A LOT to handle. Even if you have a planner covering these things for you, I'm willing to bet the planning stress is still present. This is the perfect opportunity to take a moment for you. To allow myself and my team to make you feel like a GODDESS ⁠ ⁠ 💍 MOST clients that come into my studio have never been professionally photographed before & I'm willing to guess that this is the case for a lot of brides as well. Big, fancy cameras and having your photo taken can be SCARY as shit, I get it. But this gets you in front of a camera in a more vulnerable way so by the time wedding photos come along- it'll feel like a piece of cake!!⁠ ⁠ 🕊️ CONFIDENCE. This kind of goes hand in hand with my last point about not being used to getting professional photos done. One super common thing I hear from clients both in their inquiry forms and in the studio is things along the lines of "I'm not photogenic" "I hate having my photo taken" "I never look good in photos" I TOTALLY understand how you can feel uncomfy having your photo taken when you shy away from the camera in your daily life often or when you feel like every photo you take is horrible. This session gives you a peek through a different lens. (pun intended) That little voice in your head will without a doubt be a lot quieter when you're riding the confidence high of ROCKING your boudie sesh. ⁠ ⁠ LASTLY (yes, LASTLY) it's a killer gift for your partner IF you'd like it to be. I put this last because when you come in for your session if you lead with the mindset "I'm ONLY doing this for my partner" you leave a huge chunk of the experience benefits on the table. You get out of your session what you put in. So head into it with the mindset of "This is for my growth, my healing and for my main character journey and it just so happens to also be an amazing gift" 🫶🏼 ⁠ ⁠

I know, I know- It's November 7th and I'm over here posting beach photos still 🥲 This was the last sunrise session I shot this year before summer so tragically ended and I was absolutely not going to let this sit in the archives until next summer 🤪 ARE WE KIDDING?! THE WAVES WERE ✨✨PAID ACTORS!!!✨✨ I shit you not when I say some of these waves were coming up 5, 6 feet after smashing the sides of the pier. I could not have asked for a more perfect morning for a gorg sunrise session for realllll 🥲🥲🥲🥲

We're just under 2 weeks away from my most anticipated minis of every single year 👀 5th annual January shower minis will open for booking on November 17th @ 10am to the email list ✨️⁠ ⁠ ⁠ We'll be back at our regular venue again and our session date will be January 11th- MARKKKK YOURRR CALENDARS! ⁠ ⁠ Name a better way to start the new year... I'll wait 👀🚿

Maternity sessions will always hold a special place in my heart, being able to freeze this incredibly special moment in time for mamas to be is priceless 🥲🤎

Although I've shared all my creative concepts for halloween this year, I can't let Halloween pass without sharing this incredible pumpkin head session 🥹🥹 Would you believe this babe if she told you this was her first time carving a pumpkin?!?!? Cause I sure didn't- I was SO impressed 👏🏼⁠ ⁠ Pumpkin head sessions can be booked anytime around the halloween season as they're considered a regular outdoor session in terms of package! You must carve your own pumpkin just to be sure it fits on your head!!! (Cause the 1 and only time I tried to do it we had to cut the pumpkin into a mask cause it was WAY too small 😂💀). SO if you missed out on one of these this year, they'll be back!! (And so will my creative concepts.... 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀)

🕯️🖤THE FINALE🖤 🕯️ Of all my shoots this year, this concept tops the list for me 😭🦋 From hand making each and every moth to the way the outfits and location came together- It’s the one that reflects me and my style the best and AHHH I’m just so beyond thrilled with this one 😭😭😭 I can’t wait for you to see the behind the scenes of creating everything this year!!! Get ready for a MOVIEEEEE 😂 I’m probably about half way through editing and it’s looking like she’ll be close to an hour (if not more, we’ll see👀) so BUCKLE UP🤪🤪 Shout out to @tuniimakeup for the glam🥲

TAAAAA FREAKING DAAAAA… 💀💍👰🏼‍♀️👻 One of my favourite concepts from this years spooky shoots 🥲 The original plan for this shoot had no bridal elements in it whatsoever- but as I was leaving my studio it just clicked, the veil needed to come with us and it really brought this whole thing to life in the best way 😍💀 AAAAAND I finally got RAAAAIN🥲💧 💄💇🏼‍♀️: @samanthalynn.makeup

✨Meet the new maternity package✨⁠ ⁠ With so many questions about maternity boudoir and if I offer it or not, (which I always have!!) I wanted to create a specific package catered to this special time in a mama to be's journey. 🤰🏼🩷⁠ ⁠ This package is the same cost as my regular in studio package although the set design is a little more simple to allow the beautiful bump to be the main focus of these images. ⁠ ⁠ It includes one set design that's customized to your preferences.

Upon booking we will discuss and create a mood board to bring your session to life. 🥲⁠ ⁠ These type of simple backdrop sessions can of course be booked as non maternity as well if you feel it's more your vibe that a standard in studio session! 👀⁠ ⁠ Head over to the sessions + details page on my website for the full package details & pricing! 🤩 (Save 15% on remaining 2024 and january 2025 dates now until Oct 4th!)

⚡️WEBSITE UPATES ARE LIVE⚡️ For year 5 I felt it was time to go in a give the Bare Soul site a little refresh AND make the ease of access to session info like pricing, packages and example photos a little easier for you babes to browse 🖥️ (a mindful, detail oriented queen over here 😉) The most important updates: The session details & pricing page!! ✨ You can now view ALL types of boudoir sessions that I offer all on one easy to navigate page OR sort by specific session type that you’re after!! This includes: 🖤 In studio (including bonus set add ons) 🖤 Maternity + Maternity Portraits 🖤 Bridal 🖤 Outdoor 🖤 Birthday 🖤 Creative As well as all product collection pricing ✨ 👀 IM ALSO NOW OFFERING MENTORING FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS!!! This has been something that’s been so highly requested over the years but even more so in the last few months. You can now book 1 on 1 mentor calls either 1 call or a 3 pack of calls with a discount 🤩 These are open to photographers in any niche as ya girls knowledge applies across niches. (If you’re a business owner from another niche, still feel free to reach out- I can more than likely help you out as well & would be stoked to do so!!!!) After shooting for more than 10 years now- I’m SOOO stoked to finally be offering this. Booking into November + December for calls!🫶🏼 And the last update you’ll notice through out the site is just some aesthetic changes. It’s no secret that the lens I see and create through when it comes to boudoir is that of creating art. Turning my clients into art. My approach to boudoir isn’t necessarily about a sexual gaze or a more erotic style being at the forefront. It’s a softer more creative approach focused on soul healing (hence the name Bare SOUL boudoir 😉) and I felt it was time to infuse that into my branding in a more prominent way. You’ll notice a lot of the photos are now in ornate frames- signifying that YOU ARE THE ART PIECE. 🥲 The valuable, beautiful, intricate art piece. 🫶🏼 Head over to the link on my page and check out all the new changes👀🫶🏼 AAAAND don’t forget the session sale starts TOMORRRRROW- what type of session do you have your eye on???👀👀👀👀

5 FREAKING YEARS. WOW. 🤯⁠ ⁠ 5 years ago when I decided to separate my boudoir work from all the other shoots I was booking at the time, I had absolutely NO idea that it would turn into the brand and the community that it has today. That 11 months later I would ditch all other niche's of photography and less than a year after that that I would leave retail jobs behind forever ✨🥺🫶🏼 ⁠ ⁠ All the hard work, all the blood, sweat and tears, the hard conversations, the endless hours staring at a computer screen, the constant fight against social platforms censorship, the hours of practice + trail & error- was (and still is) so well worth it. There truly is no sense of pride like building something that has the ability to impact and change so many lives from the ground up. ⁠ ⁠ It sure isn't all sunshine and rainbows all the time but I really wouldn't change any of this for the world. Huge shout out to all the clients who've put their trust in me throughout the years, to my incredible team who helps me bring this experience to life, to anyone who's followed along whether you've been here for years, are new or found me somewhere in between. And most importantly HUUUUUUUGE shout out to my man for always being here to support me- whether it be last minute kijiji pick-ups, uhaul rentals, hauling heavy shit, dealing with my breakdowns and constant wacky ideas. I couldn't do any of this without you 🥺⁠ ⁠ Cheers to many more years of Bare Soul, This is only the beginning 👀✨🫶🏼

In a world riddled with pressures to fit into a mould, to have perfect skin, to be a certain weight, have a certain bra size.... ✨ BOUDOIR SERVES AS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR ✨⁠ ⁠ From the moment you step into my studio, it's ALL ABOUT YOU. Exactly as you are. We aren't gunna cake you in makeup to cover up who you are- we're gunna enhance the beauty that's already there. I am going to help you choose outfits that you FEEL good in, outfits that make you feel like the baddest bitch there ever was 🤪 You'll leave feeling like a brand new woman, you'll notice a shift in your self worth before even receiving your gallery. THEN YOU RECEIVE THOSE IMAGES AND OOOO BABY! Those icky intrusive thoughts that used to invade your mind telling you that your stretch marks or cellulite or belly size made you unworthy, BYEEEEE 👋🏻 ⁠ ⁠ Every time you look at those images you'll be reminded that all the things that you used to consider "flaws" are all things that are part of your story! ❤️⁠

Anyone else feel like they blinked and summer was over? 💔 BUTTTT good news... I’ve got something cooking to celebrate new years this year 👀✨🪩 Get your booty on the email list!!

✨TIPS FOR FEELING YOUR MOST CONFIDENT✨⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Do things outside of your comfort zone & things that scare you. The amount of pride you will feel in yourself is next level. You did the damn thing & that will feel so good!!⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Take care of your mental health above all else. It is so incredibly important.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Only maintain relationships/friendships with people that make you feel GOOD & up lift you. Your energy is a precious resource. Don’t waste it on those that bring you down.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable, beautiful & confident. Clothes were made to fit your body not the other way around. Size up to feel comfortable, the number on the tag doesn’t matter. ⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Completely avoid using beauty filters that change your appearance and/or manipulating your body or face with photo editing. Relying on these to feel beautiful won’t make you feel more confident in the long run and perpetuate the narrative in your head that you need these to feel beautiful.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Unfollow/Block/Mute people that make you feel like shit in any way shape or form. Social media is not that deep, there’s nothing wrong with curating a happy space on your accounts and removing anyone who doesn’t align with that. Be mindful of what you’re consuming. ⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Stop shit talking yourself!!!!!⁠ Your brain & subconscious hear you & your inner dialouge matters more than you realize. Working on changing your thought patterns will make the world of a difference.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Move your body. Find ways to move that you enjoy—whether it’s yoga, walking, running, lifting etc. Movement releases endorphins and connects you to your body, helping you feel strong and grounded.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 AAAAAAND.. Book the boudoir shoot 😉❤️ We're here to help you feel like your best self✨

One of the most common questions I get about sessions is.. "Do I have to share my images online?" The answer- Absolutely not!! What (if anything) gets shared is COMPLETELY up to you and there's never any insensitive or pressure to share!!🖤⁠ ⁠ You have 4 options when it comes to your photos: ⁠ 💫 Full release - Any/all photos can be shared⁠ 💫 Partial release- Only photos you approve/select can be shared⁠ 💫 Anonymous release- Only photos that conceal your identity can be shared⁠ 💫 No release- Photos stay on my hard drive for no ones eyes but mine & yours ⁠ ⁠ A contract is signed by both of us with your chosen option if you do choose to release any images.

"I absolutely loved the entire experience! Jess (photographer) made me feel so comfortable and confident, which translated to some pretty amazing photos if I do say so myself lol⁠ This service is perfect for any woman who isn't comfortable doing hair and makeup, since it is all provided! The selection of outfits was very impressive and so beautiful, it wasn't hard finding 2 that were perfect. She gave such amazing guidance and instruction, and was able to capture the best version of myself ❤️⁠ I was also extremely impressed with the products she had available, one being a 30 photo book, which she designs herself, that completely went above and beyond my expectations. I had the option to edit placement of photos if I wanted, but I absolutely loved what she designed. I would 100% recommend this photography session" ⁠ ⁠ -Past Client Google Review

So when I tell you every detail is attended to and thought about, I mean it. Our booking process is seamless, every piece of info you could need to prep is in our extensive library of resources that clients get access to, anything you could need on shoot day is at the studio for you, I get down and show you every single pose down to the angle of your chin & moving that tiny strand of hair. I edit out things like outlets, give you a choice of your final images & guide you START TO FINISH. When you hire me for your experience, you are hiring a boudoir EXPERT who’s been shooting exclusively boudoir since 2020 & picked up her first DSLR camera back in 2014.

This isn’t the last of these you’ll be seeing, we got what looks like 4 different shoots into this session but each portion needs its own moment 😏👀🏈 This summer has been so much fun getting out of the studio WAY more & pushing my creative boundaries. Shooting in new locations, with different setting & lighting scenarios push me to evolve & grow as an artist so you’ll always catch me trying new things✨🙌🏼 I finally just now feel I’m coming out of a MASSIVE burn out (likely from the 🦠 years lololol my fellow biz owners knowwwww) and a huge part of that has been limiting my in studio sessions & doing more that lights my creative soul on fire and acting on my random spurts of inspiration as it comes❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Don’t get me wrong I will always love a good studio session HOWEVER it has been so so nice to spend most of my shoots over the past month and a bit out of the studio and changing it up🙌🏼 Shout out to my incredible clients for always being down for whatever I throw at them 🥹🫶🏼 💄: @tuniimakeup

If there’s one thing that will NEVER go down at my sessions, it’s my clients being left without guidance or me telling you to “look sexy and pose”🤨🤨 BYEEEE, NOPE NOT HEREEEE👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 When you’re booking with me you’re getting a boudoir EXPERT. I’ve shot thousands of women at this point & delivered 10s of thousands of images, having offered exclusively boudoir for the last 4 years. (AND Bare Soul is about to turn 5- WHAT🤯) As my 170+ 5 star google reviews will tell you- I’ve got you covered from start to finish. Emotional prep to physical prep to outfits to posing- I GOT YOUUU👏🏻 All you need to bring is an open mind, your trust in me & your beautiful self ✨ Let’s do this thingggggg🫶🏼 All info, session + product collection pricing can be found on my website!!

The sunrise in black and white just hits different 🥲🖤 I originally wasn't going to add any b&w images to this gallery since the whole point of a sunrise is those dreamy colours HOWEVER once I threw one in just to see- the MOODINESS?!?! I was DECEASED 😍 This year was my first time doing a sunrise session cause let's be real WHO wants to wake up at 4am 🙃 While I am utterly OBSESSED with the results, this night owl likely won't offer many of these in the future so ENJOY THIS MAGIC ✨😂🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ Imagine my struggle trying to pick only 10 images for this post 🙃 More from this jaw dropping session will be up on the blog soon 📷

Allow me introduce myself... HIIIIII I'm Jess- Your confidence fairy god mother & boudoir expert 📷✨🖤⁠ ⁠ I've spent the last 5 years specializing in exclusively boudoir, hence.. boudoir.. expert 😉 Back in late 2020 I ditched all other forms of photography & dove head first into boudoir ONLY. I've worked with thousands of women from all walks of life, delivered tens of thousands of images & got the honour to hear so many moving stories from my incredible clients. ⁠ ⁠ If I've learned one thing over the last 5 years it's that there's only a very rare case that I have a client who isn't absolutely sh**ing their pants prior to coming into my studio... But guess what.. You can do hard things.. 😉🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ "I'm not confident enough for that" ⁠ "My post baby body doesn't deserve to be in front of the camera"⁠ "I HATE photos of myself"⁠ "I'm SO awkward in front of the camera"⁠ "I need to lose ___ pounds first"⁠ ⁠ These are all SUPER common objections I hear when it comes to booking a boudoir experience & let me tell you, I know you can definitely find a million & one excuses NOT to do the dang thing. BUT the absolute awe that my clients end up in leaving the studio & then all over again when seeing their final gallery, is nothing short of MAGICAL. ⁠ ⁠ Those objections turn to:⁠ ⁠ "I'm so proud of myself"⁠ "Holy sh*t, I can't believe I conquered my fears"⁠ "I take more risks & challenge myself more in life now"⁠ "I can finally see the beauty that's been there all along"⁠ "I'm absolutely stunning exactly as I am"⁠ "My scars aren't flaws"⁠ ⁠ If this kind of transformation is something you're missing in your life, reach out- let's make magic ✨🖤

TOMORRRROOOOWW… I’m dropping some no hair/no makeup/no client closet beach sessions in Port Stanley for various dates! 🌞💧 I’m only offering a total of 6, so make sure you get your butt on the email list (dm for the link or find it in my bio!🫶🏼) **photos in this post are not from port but you get the vibe😉 The way I see it, beach sessions are the perfect “come as you are” type of session & a perfect session for no glam since you’ll be full of sand and water anyways 🤗 Let’s make some sandy magic 🌊👙⛱️🫶🏼

Baby blue has been one of my FAVE colours to shoot lately & has been a popular choice in the client closet 😍👀

"I have wanted to do a shoot forever but could never find a photographer that I felt would be a good fit, until I came across Jess from Bare Soul Boudoir. She is easily the most comforting, friendly, sincere person I have met and will be your biggest HYPE girl. When she says you’ll be besties by the end of your session, she means it. I don’t know how she makes every single person feel so incredibly comfortable while posing and shooting but she is just THAT good. Not to mention her beyond beautiful studio and her amazing hair/makeup team! Aside from her being the best person to photograph you, the photos she sends back to you will leave you speechless!! I had to do several double takes to make sure that it was really me in the photos. I have had 2 sessions with her in the past 3 months and will continue to book with Jess! If you’re thinking about doing a boudoir shoot, Jess should be your girl, you will not regret it!!"⁠ - Past Client Google Review 🥺🫶🏼 ⁠ ⁠ Read through our over 170 google reviews if you're wanted to hear from babes from all walks of life about their experiences! Shoot me a dm for the link or google "Bare Soul Boudoir"

Did a little furniture rearranging at the studio to hold me over until I find the perfect new pieces to change things up ✨😍

The confidence & growth that comes from boudoir can so easily seep into so many aspects of your life... ⁠ It allows you to believe in yourself, it shows you that you can do hard/scary/uncomfy things, it lifts the veil of self doubt.. ⁠ ⁠ I shared a post from my Facebook group last week in my story (with permission of course) that really show cased how much this babe had grown since her first session with me: ⁠ ⁠ "Last weekend I went well out of my comfort zone! I attended my friends daughters baptism!! She offered to let me bring someone but I went alone. I had so much anxiety about feeling out of place and knowing no one. It was such a great day and I actually had a great time with great food. I’m so glad I went despite my insecurity of going alone. ⁠ Jess you have been a huge part of me regaining my independence and branching out. I will be forever grateful for all the experiences 🥹and the many more to come"⁠ ⁠ THAT right there is the tangible effects of booking one of these experiences. I've said it before and I'll never stop saying it, this is so much more than "just a photoshoot" & I'm honoured to go on your self growth journey with you. 🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ Pssssttt... If you're not in my private ladies only Facebook group yet, shoot me a message and I'll send you the link. We've built such an incredibly supportive community over there & I'm just so proud of our little safe space on the internet. 🫶🏼✨🖤

it's giving..... ✨romance✨

River sessions will forever have my heart 🌳✨️🌅

The dangerous thing about getting your photos done... is it becomes addicting 😉🤭⁠ ⁠ When you put your trust in a professional at their craft, someone who you vibe with, someone who knows how to make their clients comfortable in front of the camera- you end up addicted I'm tellin ya 😝⁠ ⁠ That being said, huge shout out to all the babes who come back to see me time & time again. I love watching you grow and evolve as a person & watching your confidence get greater & greater with every shoot. Your continued trust means the absolute world to me 🥲😍

Whether you're...⁠ 🖤 Looking to find confidence ⁠ 🖤 Getting married⁠ 🖤 Celebrating divorce⁠ 🖤 Celebrating a healthy love⁠ 🖤 Celebrating leaving a toxic relationship⁠ 🖤 Taking back your power⁠ 🖤 Capturing a moment in time⁠ 🖤 Looking to do something that scares you for the sake of growth⁠ 🖤 Wanting to treat yourself to a day of pampering⁠ 🖤 Going through a hard time⁠ 🖤 Learning to accept a new body due to weight gain, weight loss, having children, having surgery etc⁠ ⁠ Boudoir is such a powerful experience & healer. I'm truly in awe at the amount of different stories I get to hear. Having photographed thousands of women at this point in my career, I'll never get tired of learning about how boudoir played a part in my clients journeys. (And am forever honoured to be a small part of that journey!)

A black & white birthday 🎂 🖤 ⁠ ⁠ A BRAND NEW birthday specific package in the works for the babes who wanna go all out celebrating another year around the sun.. Stay tuned & get yo booty on the email list 💌🥳

I've said it before & I'll say it again- A bridal boudie sesh serves as WAY more than just a gift for your boo 💍⁠ ⁠ Most babes that come in for their sessions aren't super comfortable or used to having their photo taken, especially professionally with big scary cameras in their faces. ⁠ ⁠ SO I'd argue that doing a bridal boudie sesh not only gives you an incredible gift for your partner AND a massive confidence boost before the big day BUT also serves as a trial run. A way to shake off some of those camera nerves, because if you can do a shoot with an (almost) stranger pretty much naked...... your wedding photos will feel like a BREEZE! ⁠😉 ⁠ ⁠ Plus you won't be questioning how BOMB you look in those photos & will be able to be a little more in the moment, a little less in your head about the photos on your big day! 🥰⁠ ⁠ If you're thinking about a bridal boudie sesh you need 8-10 weeks minimum between session date and the date you need products IN HAND for! (If you're just wanting digital images, you need 4 weeks minimum) ⁠ ⁠ AAAAAND I've got a brand new bridal package releasing so soon...💍👀

Only a few hours till pool mini's launch!!!😍 Email will be going out at 2pm, run don't walk to the email list!!!

Our honey session add on has been soooo popular this year & I am HERE for it 😍✨️🍯

REPEAT AFTER ME.....⁠ ⁠✨ I am the architect of my life; I build its foundation and choose its contents.⁠ ✨ I am superior to negative thoughts and low actions.⁠ ✨ My ability to conquer my challenges is limitless; my potential to succeed is infinite.⁠ ✨ I acknowledge my own self-worth; my confidence is soaring.⁠

It's almost time 👀 Pool minis open for booking June 8th @ 2pm!! Session date August 10th 🌞 MARKK YOOO CALENDARS & GET YOUR BOOTY ON THE EMAIL LIST ✉️💧

"I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience with Jess. Not only is she exceptional at what she does, you can tell she loves it and that energy is so fun to be around. I felt comfortable and safe every step of the way - which goes a long way when you are in front of a stranger in your underwear.⁠ I feel so powerful and beautiful after my session and I can’t suggest a shoot with Jess more"⁠ - Past Client Google Review 🥹

Celebrating the incredible gift of creating life with a photo shoot is so special 🥺 I've had a huge amount of DM's lately asking if I do maternity sessions & I absolutely do!!! ⁠ I offer both boudoir maternity & portrait maternity sessions if gettin nakey (or almost nakey) isn't your thing!! ⁠ ⁠ Summer is such a perfect time to do your maternity shoot outdoors with all the beauty of nature 😍 (But we can also totally do in studio if that's more your vibe!) ⁠ ⁠ **The only maternity sessions I DON'T offer are those with children or significant other's/other family involved

Don't mind me.. just out here pumping out magic ✨️🖤⁠ ⁠ This entire outfit is in the client closet & was actually one of the first pieces I got when starting my client closet YEARS ago now!! Sadly the company is no longer in business ): Rip Salt & Lace Intimates

Shower minis always end up being some of my fav sessions every year!! In case you just joined us around here- every January we host shower minis & they're definitely a client fav!! Would you do a shower mini? 👀

All this hot ass weather lately is making me reminisce on this incredible shoot from last August- this will FOREVER go down as one of my favourite shoots of all time 🥺🫶🏼🥲🦋⁠ ⁠ Glam done by the incredible: @tuniimakeup⁠ ⁠ Insta killing the crop on these is breaking my heart looool @instagram get with it and allow full length photos in feed 💔

In case you missed it... 👀 Pool mini's are comin back this summer!!!! 💧🌞🍉⁠ ⁠ Mark your calendars for August 10th!!! Booking opens June 8th @ 2pm! 💌⁠ ⁠ This years venue has tons of greenery which will be a nice change from past years😍🌿

Angel minis open for booking 🪽THIS SUNDAY🪽 at 2pm!! (May 19th!) Exclusive to the email list- so get your booty on there! (Shoot me a dm for the link to join!!!) Mini session date is July 13th at the bare soul studio ✨🪽😇 Who’s coming to make some angelic magic with me?👀

HIII it's meeeeeeee, just here to remind you that taking time for you, saying no to what doesn't serve you, putting your phone on do not disturb, doing what's best for you & protecting your peace ISN'T SELFISH!!!! 🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ SO often we get caught up in the hustle of everyday that we forget to take time to have slow, intentional moments. Something I'm definitely guilty of. ⁠ ⁠ Earlier this year I made a commitment to myself to slow tf down this year, to be more intentional with my time, to stop allowing every waking second to spent in/on my business. I'm convinced I'm still recovering from covid chaos burn out & therefore I'm not putting pressure on myself to fill every slot of open space in my calendar. For me that looks like taking on fewer clients this summer, creating just to create & spending every possible second outside with my bare feet in the grass- playing with my girls 🐶 & working on my gardens/ making my backyard the absolute oasis I've always dreamed of. 🖤⁠ ⁠ What does slowing down/taking care of your mental health look like to you?

More birthday magic for your Tuesday ✨🎂🍾🥳
