Boushie Babes Photography Website Evolution

Hey there, friend! Today, I've got some exciting updates to share about the changes happening here at Boushie Babes Photography.

Buckle up, because there's a lot to cover!

First off, you may have noticed some expansions to our offerings on the website. Why the change? Well, it all boils down to you, my amazing clients. After shooting countless boudoir sessions, I've realized that many of you want more than just those sultry portraits. You want me to capture more of your lives, from the sweet mommy and me moments to the milestone senior and teen portraits. And you know what? I'm all in.

I'll admit, that a big part of this expansion is personal. You see, I've had my own regrets about missing out on precious moments with my girls when they were younger. It breaks my heart to look back and wish I had more photos to cherish. So, consider this my mission: to ensure that you have those memories captured, so you never have to experience that same regret.

And let's talk about family photos. I want your family showcased on those holiday cards every Christmas, capturing the growth and changes that happen year after year. But here's the kicker—I want you, as a mom, to be in those photos too. No more hiding behind the camera while everyone else smiles for the shot. It's time to celebrate you and your unique family dynamic.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room—social media. As a boudoir photographer, I've faced my fair share of challenges with platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Shadow bans, potential bans, you name it. That's why I'm shamelessly plugging my email list here. Sign up to stay in the loop, just in case we need to make a quick escape from the social media madness.

Oh, and speaking of social media, you may notice some changes to my main business pages. They'll be a bit more "PG" from now on, with the VIP ladies-only group serving as the hub for all things boudoir. It's not ideal, I know, but hey, we've gotta roll with the punches.

And a quick PSA: I don't have a Twitter or TikTok at the moment, and Pinterest is giving me some grief. So, if you come across any fake accounts or scammers using my name, please report them ASAP.

Phew! That was a lot, but I wanted to keep you in the loop about all the changes happening around here. Thanks for sticking with me through it all. Here's to embracing the new and navigating the ever-changing world of photography together. Cheers, my friend! 📸✨

Unlock Your Selfie Potential: The Ultimate Guide to Captivating Selfies

Unlock Your Selfie Potential: The Ultimate Guide to Captivating Selfies

Are you tired of scrolling through your camera roll, only to find lackluster selfies that don't do you justice? With Valentine's Day around the corner, it's the perfect time to elevate your selfie game and capture those perfect moments with confidence. In this guide, I'll share insider tips and tricks to help you master the art of taking selfies like a pro.

Angles:

The angle at which you hold your camera can make all the difference in how your selfie turns out. Experiment with different angles to find what works best for you. Often, holding the camera slightly above eye level can help accentuate your features and create a flattering look.

Lighting:

Good lighting is essential for a great selfie. Natural light is your best friend, so try to position yourself near a window or go outside for that soft, flattering glow. Avoid harsh overhead lighting, as it can create unflattering shadows. If you're indoors, consider using a ring light or softbox to achieve that perfect lighting.

Color Cast:

Be mindful of the colors around you when taking a selfie. Avoid busy backgrounds that might distract from your face. Pay attention to the color temperature of the light as well; cool-toned lighting can give your photos a blue cast, while warm-toned lighting can create a cozy atmosphere. Adjusting your white balance settings can help correct any color casts and ensure your selfies look vibrant and true to life.

Composition:

Think about the composition of your selfie. Consider framing your face off-center for a more dynamic look, or experiment with different poses to add interest to your shot. Don't be afraid to get creative and show off your personality!

Editing:

While it's important to take a great photo straight from the camera, a little editing can go a long way in enhancing your selfie. Use editing apps to adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation to make your selfie pop. Just remember not to overdo it – subtle edits are often the most effective.


Ready to elevate your selfie game just in time for Valentine's Day?

Download my comprehensive Selfie Guide now to unlock insider tips and tricks that will help you take selfies like a pro. Whether you're celebrating with a loved one or treating yourself, you deserve to look and feel your best.

With these tips and tricks up your sleeve, you'll be well on your way to taking selfies that are sure to turn heads and garner likes galore. So go ahead, strike a pose, and let your inner selfie star shine!

Inner Child Work: Journey back to your inner child and unlock the keys to deep healing and self-discovery. Together, we'll nurture and heal the wounds of the past, paving the way for a future filled with joy, abundance, and unconditional self-love.

But wait, there's more!

In addition to our in-depth discussions and transformative practices, you'll also receive actionable steps and personalized meditation techniques to add to your toolbox. Because let's face it, transformation isn't just about knowledge – it's about putting that knowledge into action and embodying the change you wish to see in the world.

Step into Your Radiance: A Transformative Boudoir Experience with Boushie Babes

In the enchanting realm of Boushie Babes Photography, your boudoir experience is more than just a session—it's a sacred journey of self-discovery and celebration. I am Accalia, your guide and photographer, and my mission is to elevate your essence, capturing the magnificent tapestry of who you are in this very moment.

A Tapestry of Transformation:

Picture this: You step into the studio, a space carefully crafted to embrace your uniqueness. As you share the flavors of your soul, I hold space with reverence, fostering an environment free from judgment, only filled with love. Through every click of the shutter, we unravel the layers, revealing your extraordinary beauty and inviting you to see yourself as the goddess you truly are right now not when or if.

Coaching from the Heart:

From our first conversation to the final delivery of your images, I am your dedicated coach and director. I guide you through the entire process, ensuring you feel empowered, confident, and, most importantly, seen on a soul level. This isn't just a photoshoot; it's a moment of self-celebration, a chance to embrace your perfect imperfections with grace. The time to celebrate you and who you are now. Seeing authentic expressions of you that others get to see and fall in love with every day, but you never do, I hear from every client now that is such me expression, and they love it. My clients love that I coach and direct them to get authentic images that don’t look forced or posed and give you all the feels!!!

Style and Grace Unveiled:

To ensure you feel and look your best, we kick off with a personalized style/fitting session. We meet at the Valley Mall in Spokane, or we Zoom, where we go over how you want to be styled for your session, I give ideas of things to buy or bring from home for your session, and I tell you to bring it all, cause the day of we never know till then and better to have more than not enough. On the day of your session, our team provides professional hair and makeup, setting the stage for an experience that transcends the ordinary. We always tell our clients if you don’t love your hair and make-up, we start over, cause if you don’t love your hair and make-up, you won’t love your images and that’s a hard pass for us here at Boushie Babes.

Swift Magic and Same-Day Reveal:

Unlike the standard waiting period, your images are ready for viewing and ordering on the same day. Witnessing your beauty through the lens, unedited and raw, is a powerful moment that leaves you feeling like the goddess you truly are. We then select your favs, all others are deleted for your protection, and you select the collection that fits your needs and we go from there. I encourage my clients to pay in full because I love getting them the images as soon as possible. Once final payment is received digital galleries are sent out within 72 hours!!! Printed products are delivered within 2 weeks or less making it one of the fastest turnaround times in the north west!!!

Exclusive Alchemy:

Boushie Babes Photography is an exclusive experience, with only 5-6 boudoir sessions granted per month. This exclusivity allows me to devote my undivided attention to your journey, ensuring you receive the guidance and support needed to truly shine. This also allows the fast turnaround time, and for me to keep everything but the printing of products in-house, meaning I am the only one viewing your images other than my print lab, unless you allow us to share of course. I take extreme care of your amazing images and hold them with the utmost respect and care.

More Than Photography:

What sets us apart is the fusion of my skills beyond the camera. I use my intuition and energy work, always with your permission, to enhance the transformative experience. You are not merely a client; you are a participant in a metamorphic journey. I have for years searched for something that allows me to use all my skills, my energy work, my herbal knowledge, my intuitions, and the other gifts I have unlocked over the years such as my creative eye. Photography and boudoir are that meshing of those skills and I am so grateful to be able to share it with all of you.

For Those Who Dare to Transform:

Boushie Babes Photography is not for everyone—it's for the courageous souls ready to embark on the path of self-discovery. Those who choose to do the work, confront their shadows, and emerge as a beacon of their light. This is your invitation to celebrate yourself, your journey, and your divine essence. This is the space for you to dive deeper, and embrace and embody those lost or forgotten parts of your soul. This is an invitation for those who are ready and make shit happen, if you are not quite ready, that’s okay, keep following along and doing the work when you’re ready, I will be here.

🌟 Reflecting on 2023: Lessons Learned and Empowerment Unveiled 🌟

🌟 Reflecting on 2023: Lessons Learned and Empowerment Unveiled 🌟

As we bid farewell to another transformative year at Boushie Babes Photography, I'm compelled to share the invaluable lessons that have shaped my journey and the path ahead. 📸💖

1️⃣ Perseverance Amid Challenges: This year reiterated the power of relentless perseverance. I embraced the mantra that failure is not a setback but a stepping stone. Every challenge became an opportunity to grow, and I discovered that the only true failure is giving up.

2️⃣ The Mindset Shift: A profound realization dawned – mindset is the silent architect of our reality. Navigating through the labyrinth of overwhelm, I acknowledged that many struggle to begin their mindset journey. It's a space where I've invested my energy, learning that a positive mindset is a game-changer in both personal and professional realms.

3️⃣ Selective Connections: In the realm of personal and professional relationships, I recognized the importance of intentional connections. The people I invite into my circle directly impact my ability to serve from a full cup. Quality over quantity became my guiding principle.

4️⃣ Self-Discipline with ADHD: Managing ADHD requires tailored self-discipline strategies. Implementing systems and automation freed up mental bandwidth, allowing me to focus on what matters most – connecting with clients and creating transformative experiences.

5️⃣ Adaptation in Business: The landscape of social media advertising shifted, pushing me to pivot from traditional strategies. Learning to navigate these changes and adapting my approach became instrumental in sustaining the business.

6️⃣ Acknowledging Growth: Self-acknowledgment emerged as a crucial aspect of personal development. Recognizing my own growth and giving credit where it's due empowered me to move forward with confidence.

7️⃣ Shadow Work and Unpopular Truths: Embracing shadow work, confronting uncomfortable truths, and standing up for oneself became central themes. The journey within is challenging but unveils the powerful truth that we create our reality.

8️⃣ Financial Empowerment: I released the guilt associated with wanting financial stability and abundance. Acknowledging my worth and embracing abundance not only benefits me but amplifies the impact I can have on others.

9️⃣ Foundations in Business: Establishing solid foundations in business is an investment in future time and success. The groundwork laid today paves the way for more profound connections and impactful experiences.

🔟 Living Authentically: The resounding lesson of 2023 – live authentically. Answer the soul's call, embrace the unknown, and be the change you wish to see. In the realm of artistic creation and personal transformation, there's no greater magic than living your truth. 💫✨

11️⃣ Authentic Client Connection: This year, I delved into the art of authentic client connection. Instead of tirelessly reaching out, I embraced a more organic approach, allowing clients to come to me when they are ready. The shift from aggressive advertising to authentic magnetism felt more aligned and empowered. As a healer and intuitive, I recognized the importance of reserving my energy for those genuinely prepared to invest. It's a dance of reciprocity – I offer my expertise, and in return, I attract clients ready to embark on transformative journeys. This lesson not only elevated the quality of connections but also reinforced the notion that true alignment leads to a more fulfilling and sustainable business journey. 🌟✨ #AuthenticConnection #AlignedBusiness #BoushieBabesInsights #bestkeptsecret

Bonus Lesson - The Power of a Sacred Circle: This year, I discovered the profound impact of having a sacred circle. Gathering twice a month, following the moon, and engaging in our brand of witchy shit has been a blessing. From manifesting desires to sacred ceremonies, our sacred circle has created a space for support, connection, and genuine camaraderie. In 2024, I aim to expand these gatherings, weaving more magic into our collective journey. 🌙✨

As we step into the next chapter, may authenticity, resilience, and empowerment continue to guide our collective journey. Here's to more magic, growth, and uncharted adventures in the coming year! 🥂🌈 #YearInReview #LessonsLearned #EmpowermentJourney #BoushieBabesReflections

Thank you all!!!!!

At Boushie Babes Photography, every session tells a unique story of empowerment, self-discovery, and the celebration of individual beauty. Today, we shine a spotlight on Erica, a remarkable woman who embarked on a transformative journey with our Body Love Project.

Erica's story began in July 2022 when, after navigating the challenges of motherhood and life's hurdles, she sought a profound self-care experience. Having previously experienced a Boudoir session, Erica recognized the power of embracing her authentic self, and so, she eagerly responded to our call.


📞 Connection Beyond the Lens: The Phone Call That Started It All

📸 Elevating Brand Essence: A Day with Kay at Boushie Babes Photography 📸

📸 Elevating Brand Essence: A Day with Kay at Boushie Babes Photography 📸

In the heart of our photography journey lies connections, and there are moments when the universe aligns to create something truly special. This was one such occasion when Kay, a dear friend and a soul companion, reached out for headshot branding photography for her new website. Our history of ceremonies, shared experiences, and the mutual support we've lent each other over the years made this collaboration even more meaningful.

Kay's vision was clear—she wanted headshots that reflected her authentic self, capturing the essence of her coaching business. As we prepared for the session, we decided to bring the shoot to her home, where she conducts virtual calls with her clients. The goal was to mirror what her clients see during their interactions.

Upon arriving at Kay's space, we took the time to connect, exploring the story she wished to convey through her images. We decided on different looks, from a dressed-up business attire to a casual, everyday appearance. To add a personal touch, we incorporated items like her computer and accessories that reflected her work environment.

Challenges excite me, and for this session, I embraced the use of natural light only, capturing moments in the comfort of someone else's home. Kay's multifaceted coaching business called for a variety of shots, from computer work to showcasing the body movements she teaches. We even captured moments of her tapping into her various roles.

The result was a treasure trove of images, each capturing a facet of Kay's authentic self. Her warmth, dedication, and passion shone through, creating not just headshots but visual narratives that mirrored the spirit of her coaching.

As Kay marveled at her images, I witnessed the magic that happens when someone sees themselves in a new light—beautiful, confident, and empowered. She chose to immortalize these moments by opting for all her favorites with our digital collections, ensuring her children and grandchildren have timeless memories to cherish.

This experience not only marked a beautiful collaboration but also highlighted the power of capturing personal stories through photography. Kay's journey is a testament to the transformative impact of creating visuals that resonate with one's authentic self.

So, when you're ready to elevate your brand and tell your story through captivating visuals, don't hesitate to reach out. Boushie Babes Photography is here to transform your vision into a collection of timeless moments.
