Unveiling the Essence of Confidence: A Street-Style Session with Sharnai, Our Fearless Brand Ambassador

In the realm of photography, every session is a unique journey, a canvas waiting to be painted with the essence of the subject. And when our brand ambassador, Sharnai, approached us with a vision of embracing her confident and powerful self, we knew we were in for an extraordinary adventure.

1. Embracing Confidence in Unusual Places

Sharnai's desire was clear – to embrace the strong, confident person she knew she was becoming. She yearned for a session that would reflect this newfound self-assuredness. Together, we set out to find a location that would be anything but usual for a boudoir session. The choice was Graffiti Alley, an unconventional yet vibrant canvas where artists have left their colorful mark.

2. Sharnai: A True Brand Ambassador

Sharnai embodies the spirit of Boushie Babes Photography. She initially became a brand ambassador because her first session left her in awe. She was eager to explore more facets of herself, and when we launched our brand ambassador sessions, she couldn't resist the opportunity to work with us once again.

3. Graffiti Alley: A Playground of Colors and Self-Discovery

Graffiti Alley, nestled downtown, offered us a world where we could play, explore, and embrace every facet of Sharnai's personality. It was the perfect backdrop to showcase her inner strength and newfound confidence.

4. Early Mornings and the Magic of Dawn

For this session, we chose an early morning time slot at 6:30 AM. Why? Downtown areas are bustling during the day and night, but the early hours grant us the freedom to capture solo street shots without the hustle and bustle. The soft, ethereal light of dawn added a unique touch to our photographs, creating an enchanting mood.

5. Dancing in the Rain

The day of the shoot greeted us with rain, but that didn't deter us. We both embraced the drizzle and decided to go ahead. As it turned out, the rain created picturesque puddles that added to the possibilities of our shots.

6 & 7. Wardrobe and Props: Unleashing Sharnai's Inner Badass

Sharnai brought an array of outfits, including a black nighty ensemble, a sleek leather jacket paired with jeans, and a cozy sweater. She also came prepared with a bat and a few other props that we used to create magic. The bat, in particular, symbolized her inner badass, and we used it to capture shots that screamed confidence.

8. Challenges and Surprises: Morning Rush and Broken Coffee Pot

Our morning started with a few unexpected challenges. A broken coffee pot left us caffeine-deprived, and we were running late. As the session progressed, traffic started to pick up with the approaching school hours, but these challenges only added to the uniqueness of our experience.

9. Graffiti Alley: A Moody, Real, and Beautiful Backdrop

The location, Graffiti Alley, played an integral role in shaping the session. It provided a moody, authentic, and breathtaking backdrop that enhanced our creative journey. We had a blast, and the images speak volumes about the fantastic time we had.

10. A Spectrum of Emotions: From Soft to Over the Top

The session encapsulated a wide spectrum of emotions. From soft and strong to a bit crazy and over the top, we explored a range of moods that allowed Sharnai's personality to shine through. The result? Timeless beauty is captured in every frame.

This street-style session with Sharnai was a testament to the power of self-discovery, confidence, and embracing all facets of oneself. We hope these images convey the essence of our extraordinary journey.

Capturing Destiny's Joy: A Spur-of-the-Moment Maternity Session

In the world of photography, there are moments that transcend the ordinary and become cherished memories for a lifetime. Destiny's spur-of-the-moment maternity session with Boushie Babes Photography is one such beautiful story that we had the privilege to capture.

Destiny, a radiant mother of two, was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her third child. The catch? She wanted it to be a surprise – no peeking at the ultrasound to discover the baby's sex. As her due date came and went, and with a home birth planned, Destiny was growing more and more impatient for the arrival of her little one.

One day, she reached out to us with an idea that filled our hearts with excitement. Destiny wanted to document this precious time in her life, to have a moment just for herself before welcoming baby number three. And so, the idea for a spontaneous maternity photoshoot was born.

What made this session even more special was the location. Destiny wanted to do it right where she was living, in the midst of her daily life. As her friend and photographer, I was more than happy to come to her and capture these authentic moments.

The connection I share with Destiny runs deep; I've known her her whole life and even went to school with her parents. Being entrusted with capturing her pregnancy journey was a delightful honor.

Throughout the session, Destiny couldn't help but ask me for my prediction regarding the baby's sex. Without hesitation, I confidently proclaimed, "It's going to be a girl, no doubt!" Destiny's eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement, but she had to wait a little longer to find out if my intuition was right.

The resulting photos from that session tell a beautiful story of a mother's love and anticipation. They capture the joy, the waiting, the hope, and the quiet moments of reflection before the arrival of her third precious child.

At Boushie Babes Photography, we believe in capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments – the moments you want to cherish forever. Destiny's spur-of-the-moment maternity session embodies this philosophy. It reminds us that photography isn't just about pictures; it's about freezing time, preserving emotions, and creating memories that will be treasured for generations to come.

As destiny would have it, the wait was worth it. Destiny's baby was indeed a girl, just as I had predicted. It was a moment of sheer joy and fulfillment, one that Destiny and her family will always carry with them.

We are immensely grateful to Destiny for allowing us to be part of this incredible journey. It's a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of life's most beautiful moments, and it reminds us why we do what we do.

If you're looking to capture your own special moments, whether it's a maternity session, a family portrait, or any other cherished event, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Boushie Babes Photography. We're here to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Celebrating Joana: A Tale of Renewal and Self-Love

In a world where the pace of life often leaves us breathless, there are moments that stand out as reminders of the importance of self-care and self-love. Joana's story is one such reminder—a beautiful narrative of how a simple giveaway turned into a transformative experience that touched our hearts and rekindled her spirit.

📸 The Giveaway: A Glimmer of Hope

Last year, we held a giveaway that sparked curiosity and excitement among our clients. As the names were drawn, Joana emerged as a runner-up winner. Little did she know that this unexpected twist of fate would lead to a journey of rediscovery and rejuvenation.

💫 A Boost for the Soul

As an older lady with a lifetime of experiences, Joana had reached a point in her life where a boost was needed—a reminder of her worth and the value of taking time just for herself. The giveaway came at the perfect moment, offering her an opportunity to pause, reflect, and invest in her well-being.

📷 The Day Just for Her

When Joana stepped into our studio, her warm smile masked a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, nervousness, and a touch of vulnerability. We set the stage for a day that was entirely hers. From the moment she sat in the makeup chair, surrounded by a team dedicated to making her feel cherished, it was evident that this experience would be more than just a photoshoot.

💖 A Celebration of Joana

As the session unfolded, Joana blossomed in front of the camera. Each click of the shutter captured her radiant spirit, showcasing the beauty that comes from within. It was more than photography—it was a celebration of her journey, her strength, and her individuality. From the twinkle in her eyes to the curve of her smile, the images told a story of resilience and grace.

🌟 Embracing Self-Love

Through this experience, Joana learned that self-love is not a luxury, but a necessity. It's about embracing the person you've become, acknowledging the chapters you've lived, and taking time to nurture your soul. Joana's story is a testament to the fact that it's never too late to invest in yourself, to be celebrated, and to shine.

📝 Joana's Journey Continues

Joana's story is a reminder that every person deserves to feel special, cherished, and celebrated. We are grateful to have been a part of her journey, and her radiant spirit continues to inspire us. As we reflect on her experience, we're reminded that our work is not just about capturing moments—it's about creating spaces where individuals can find joy, love, and the beauty that resides within them.

To Joana and all those who have embraced their journey of self-discovery, we raise our cameras in celebration. Here's to the remarkable power of self-love and the moments that shape us.

Embracing the Curls: A Personal Hair Care Journey

Hey there, lovely readers! 👋

✨ Today, we're diving into a more personal topic that's close to the heart and the roots—curly hair care. As someone who has spent four decades navigating the twists and turns of curly locks, I'm here to share the wisdom I wish I had known 40 years ago. So, if you're ready to embark on a curly hair care adventure, keep reading for some tried-and-true tips that have transformed my tresses!

1. Shampoo Strategically

Gone are the days of daily shampooing! One of the most valuable lessons I've learned is to use shampoo only when your scalp truly needs it. Keep it as close to the scalp as possible and focus on cleansing the roots. Over-shampooing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving your curls dry and frizzy. Opt for sulfate-free, gentle shampoos to maintain your hair's natural moisture balance.

2. Tame with a Wet-Dry Brush

Say hello to the magical wet-dry brush—a game-changer for curly hair! Use it exclusively in the shower or bath when your hair is wet and coated with conditioner. This nifty tool helps detangle your curls without causing breakage or frizz. Start from the tips and work your way up, gently easing out knots and tangles as you go.

3. Conditioner, Your Best Friend

Curly hair craves moisture like a desert craves rain. Use as much conditioner as your hair needs, and don't hesitate to switch it up every now and then. Just like our skin changes over the years, our hair's needs evolve too. Experiment with different formulas and find what your curls adore. After all, happy curls are well-moisturized curls!

4. Embrace the Magic of Hair Oil

Ah, hair oil, the elixir of lusciousness! If your curly hair tends to be on the dry side (like mine), embrace the power of hair oil. Start at the tips and work your way up, distributing the oil evenly through your curls. Don't be afraid to use more than you think you should—I've found that my hair drinks it up with delight. The result? Hair that's gleaming, hydrated, and utterly fabulous.

5. Let Go of Styling Products (If You Want To)

Here's a secret: sometimes, less is more. I've recently bid adieu to my faithful mousse and hair spray companions, and my hair couldn't be happier—or more cost-effective! Embracing my natural curls has brought out their true beauty, and I've found that simplicity can be stunning. Of course, feel free to play around and find what works best for your hair's unique personality.

Curly Hair, Unleash Your Radiance!

So there you have it, a glimpse into my curly hair care journey and the lessons I've gathered along the way. Remember, your curls are as unique as you are, and they deserve to be celebrated in all their glorious forms. Treat your locks with love, patience, and a touch of experimentation, and watch them flourish like never before.

Here's to embracing the curls and celebrating the beauty of every twist and turn in our hair journeys! 🌀🌟

Until next time,

Accalia Carter Founder, Boushie Babes Photography

Unveiling Authenticity and Self-Love: Shanna's Empowering Journey with Boushie Babes Photography

At Boushie Babes Photography, we believe in capturing stories that go beyond the surface. Our 40 over 40 sessions are a celebration of life, resilience, and the unwavering spirit that emerges with age. Shanna's journey embodies the essence of this transformative experience, as she opens up about her struggles, triumphs, and her remarkable partnership with her Harley, Zephyr.

Shanna's path to self-discovery has been marked by remarkable milestones. Having lost over 100 pounds twice, her journey wasn't just about physical transformation but also a profound inner metamorphosis. She faced her insecurities head-on, opting for a tummy tuck and implants as a testament to her commitment to self-love and acceptance.

However, Shanna's story is more than just a journey of physical changes. Behind the captivating images of her arm tattoo sleeve and the fierce Harley Davidson, lies a history of resilience and healing. Shanna opens up about her traumatic childhood, a period that left her grappling with feelings of unworthiness and a profound sense of unlovability.

"My coping strategies were codependency, an eating disorder, and eventually alcoholism," Shanna shares. It wasn't until 2008 that she embarked on a path of self-discovery and healing. Slowly, she began awakening to her truth, embarking on a journey inward, and embracing her own worth.

Shanna's boudoir shoot with Boushie Babes Photography represents a powerful moment of self-celebration. It's about granting herself permission to shine, to celebrate her authentic self, and to honor her journey. "To celebrate my beauty and light that I have found from the inside out," she reflects, a testament to her newfound self-awareness and self-love.

Her journey isn't just about personal growth; it's about the profound love she shares with her husband and her motorcycle, Zephyr. Shanna's words radiate joy and gratitude as she marvels at the unexpected and beautiful twists that life has taken. Her story is a reminder that life's journey is full of surprises, and embracing these twists with an open heart can lead to unimaginable joy.

Shanna's journey is woven with powerful mottos and sayings that have guided her. "To Thine Own Self Be True" is a reminder of authenticity, while "How Free Do You Want To Be?" serves as a challenge to break free from self-imposed limitations.

As Shanna embraces her path, she envisions the woman she's becoming. "She is no longer asking for permission or approval. She speaks up and asks for her needs to be met," Shanna declares. She's embracing vulnerability, curiosity, and self-compassion, all while standing firmly on the foundation of her worth.

Shanna's words of wisdom echo the hard-earned lessons she's gathered along her journey:

• Healing is an inside job, requiring consistent effort and support.

• You are more than enough just as you are.

• Life is on your side, and love is your guiding force.

Shanna's story is a testament to the power of transformation, self-love, and embracing life's twists and turns. Her journey is a beacon of light, inspiring others to embark on their path of self-discovery, authenticity, and unapologetic self-love.

If Shanna's journey resonates with you, if her story sparks a desire to celebrate your own path, we invite you to explore our 40 over 40 sessions. Contact us today to embark on a transformative experience that captures the essence of your journey and celebrates the remarkable person you are.

Embracing Fearlessness and Self-Love: Racheal's Empowering Journey with Boushie Babes Photography

At Boushie Babes Photography, our lens isn't just focused on capturing images; it's a powerful tool to reflect the strength, resilience, and beauty that reside within each individual. Racheal's story is one that resonates deeply with our core values - the journey of reclaiming self-love, celebrating individuality, and daring to be unapologetically bold.

Racheal's decision to embark on a Love Your Body session was a pivotal moment, a declaration of self-celebration in the face of life's challenges. As a woman who had navigated the realms of motherhood, life's trials, and personal trauma, Racheal's path to healing and self-discovery led her to our studio. She was determined to rewrite her narrative, to create boundaries, and above all, to love herself fiercely - a journey we were both honored and excited to be a part of.

"I love to be outside of the box. Make my own mold. Be bold and brave," Racheal shared with a sparkle in her eyes. Her words echoed the sentiment of someone who was ready to break free from the confines of expectations and societal norms. Racheal had spent years prioritizing others, often neglecting her own needs. But this time, she stood resolute: "Not this time. I'm doing this for me, and I don't care what anyone has to say about it."

In the intimate moments captured during Racheal's session, her transformation from vulnerability to empowerment unfolded before our eyes. The mantra "Tough times don't last, tough people do" became a guiding light. Racheal's journey had been one of resilience, a testament to her unwavering spirit. Her strength emerged from the battles she faced, the self-mothering, the determination, and the refusal to give up on herself.

Racheal chose the words "Head Bitch In Charge" to encapsulate her newfound identity - a declaration of authority over her life, a proclamation of her strength and control. It was a message that resonated with her desire to be fearless, to rise above struggles and external opinions. Through her words and images, Racheal showcased her transformation into a woman who was unafraid to carve her own path, to set her own boundaries, and to stand tall in her independence.

"I am becoming fearless," Racheal declared, her voice unwavering. The metamorphosis she described was a journey of shedding old fears, of stepping into the power of saying "no," and of realizing that self-care isn't selfish - it's essential. Her path towards true independence had been a beautiful, albeit uncomfortable, transformation. And in that discomfort, she found a sense of contentment that had eluded her for so long.

Racheal's wisdom was hard-earned, and she shared it generously: "Life is not fair. People do not care as much as they say they do." Her words carried the weight of experience, a reminder that our energy is best invested in nurturing our own hearts. Racheal had learned that redirecting that energy inward, towards self-love and personal growth, was where true fulfillment lay. Her message was one of kindness, resilience, and the unshakable belief that the world needed more love, not bitterness.

Racheal's journey with Boushie Babes Photography is a testament to the transformative power of embracing oneself fully, of rewriting one's narrative, and of standing tall in the face of adversity. Her story reminds us all that within each of us lies the strength to overcome, the courage to be bold, and the capacity to love ourselves fiercely.

If Racheal's journey resonates with you, if her story of healing and empowerment ignites a spark within, we invite you to embark on your own path of self-celebration. Let Boushie Babes Photography capture the essence of your strength, your beauty, and your unique journey. Reach out to us today, and together, we'll create a visual narrative that speaks to the incredible person you are and the remarkable journey you're on.

The Power of Body Positivity: Why It's More Than Just Saying Positive Things

The Power of Body Positivity: Why It's More Than Just Saying Positive Things

Body positivity is a term that has been thrown around a lot lately, and while it's great to see the movement gaining momentum, it's important to understand that it's more than just saying positive things. True body positivity is about changing the way you think about your body and yourself.

Unfortunately, the wrong photographer can leave you feeling worse about your body than you did before the session. That's why I'm here to change the narrative and be more inclusive for all body types. As a boudoir photographer, I understand that my work goes beyond just taking pretty pictures. It's about holding space, being non-judgmental, and boosting my clients up in ways they haven't been before.

That's why boudoir sessions are more expensive than other types of photography. The deeper work that goes on before, during, and after the session has long-lasting effects on my clients' confidence. They leave feeling like a new person, seeing themselves in a new light, feeling sexy and like a woman/man, and feeling desirable again after life happens.

In addition to the photos, I also include affirmations to help my clients reframe the way they think about their body and themselves. Body positivity isn't about being toxically positive, but about learning to love yourself for who you are right now, while also working towards becoming the best version of yourself.

It's time to change the conversation around body positivity and focus on the power it has to transform lives.

Are you ready to join the movement and embrace your body?

Love yourself Series, post 24, Sam

In this series within my blog, I will share individual client stories, that they have allowed me to share with you, in hopes of encouraging you to love yourself more right now not when. These are real women, with real stories.

Let me introduce you to Sam, a Sandpoint native, and mother of a handsome little boy. She has been through a lot over the past few years, including trauma and the struggle of getting back on her feet after life knocked her down. Despite never having been professionally photographed before, she was determined to empower herself and see herself in a new light.

After booking a session, we met in town for her style session and discovered that our families had known each other for years - it's a small town, after all! We talked about everything she was going through, including finding housing and navigating the challenges of growing up in a scary world.

During her session, Sam was amazing! She brought props and fun outfits, which allowed us to capture different sides of her personality and show her in a new light. She loved all of her images, and I couldn't be happier for her. But don't just take my word for it, here's what she had to say about her experience:

She as a single mother had to do one of my very limited post-payment plans,( only have 10 spots available at a time, so they fill up fast.) So, almost a year later she finally made her final payment and got her products and online gallery. Here is her reveal:

Giveaway Series, post 3, Miss M

In this series within my blog, I will share individual client stories, that they have allowed me to share with you, in hopes of encouraging you to love yourself more right now not when. These are real women, with real stories.

Allow me to introduce Miss M, a client who preferred to keep her identity anonymous to empower others while maintaining her privacy. As her photographer, I respect and support her decision wholeheartedly. The image above and her testimonial will be the only time you see her face as she requested a more anonymous bodyscape.

During her session, Miss M was amazing and killed it! We captured a range of emotions and styles that were absolutely fabulous, but she decided to keep those images to herself. However, she wanted to be featured in a way that gave her bragging rights and the chance for one of her images to be entered for a cover or award. We selected several images that only show her body and not her face for this purpose.

Miss M booked her session after winning the runner-up prize in my last Giveaway. She needed a pick-me-up after going through a tough time, getting married, and finding out some major things were hidden from her and her children. She was struggling with her body image, having had kids and aging, and just needed to see herself in a different light.

Here's what Miss M had to say about her experience:
