Boudoir Studio | Victoria, BC | Dark Etherial Styled Shoot
Inspired by Halloween, I decided to go for a darker vibe than normal with last month’s moody styled shoot at the Bella Boudoir Studio in Victoria, BC.
Candles, laces masks, and (of course) sparkles all helped to enhance the etherial looks.
For the first look, Nicole Murray and myself styled Bella E in a silky black slip and gemstone crown. The makeup look consisted of a dark smokey eye and dark lip. Wanting to still focus on the boudoir style of the shoot, we took a traditional vampire look and made it much more glam!
To switch things up even more we styled the Bella Boudoir bed with luxurious black sheets. These sheets are on hand in the studio, so if you are looking to break away from the usual white I am more than happy to oblige! For this setting, we styled Bella E in some simple and sexy black lingerie while keeping the same smokey makeup look.
The next look was definitely one of my favourites! Bella E was styled in the most gorgeous black body suite and butterfly mask. It was pure magic and mystery! Also, black body suites never fail to be so flattering on absolutely everyone.
Last, (but certainly not least!) Bella E transformed in the most glamorous…fairy, ice queen, good witch? We can’t decide! Bella E wore one of the dresses that we currently have in our client wardrobe. Covered in rhinestones and glitter, it makes everyone look like a princess! This dress photographs so well and catches the light absolutely perfectly. For this makeup look, Nicole got creative and created the most mesmerizing silver eye look with a pink neutral lip. We couldn’t get over how perfectly the silver turned out!
I absolutely love shoots like this as they give me a chance to get creative and try something new! If you like any of the looks of elements in this shoot, don’t be afraid to ask if you would like to incorporate them into your shoot! I am always excited to try something different.

Our Portrait Session with Jaimey Hamilton
This Feel Good Campaign portrait session from earlier this year left me feeling SO inspired! (I still tear up a little just thinking about it…)
Jaimey is a local musician who is also a cancer survivor.
The Feel Good Campaign (organized by Melanie Baird and Danielle Bennett) partnered with Bella Boudoir to make this incredible shoot happen.
Both professionals in the beauty industry, Melanie and Danielle teamed up to provide cancer survivors with the opportunity to get glammed up, pampered, and celebrate themselves, their beauty, and their strength!
When asked to be a part of this beautiful day – our answer was of course, “Yes!!”.
All of us had a blast together! Jaimey is such a sweetheart and a fantastic musician! We couldn’t be more proud of this warrior!
A little bit about Jaimey…
Jaimey is among the new generation of exciting, up and coming Canadian country/pop artists. Born in a sea side town located on Canada’s pacific west coast, Jaimey has used the inspiration of calming ocean waves and misty mountains, to create her own brand of modern country/pop.
Music and song craft fuel Jaimey’s passion in life, and have also been a major source of healing for her. By the age of twelve, Jaimey had been diagnosed with Leukemia three times, surviving a bone marrow transplant. Writing songs has helped Jaimey through her tough times and called to focus her natural ability to turn a phrase into great melodies.
In March 2017, Jaimey had an amazing opportunity to have a wish granted by the Children’s Wish Foundation. Her wish naturally, was to travel to the big city and record the song “Survive”, with producer Adam Alexander (composer of ‘Shattered’ by Jillea). Her wish was granted, and soon she was on a plane to Toronto to embark on her dream. A total of eight songs were produced at Diamond Factory Studio, including her current single Parachute, as well as Candy Cigarette.
