2013Boudoir In The City-Is Boudoir for you?
It was an experience of a lifetime and I highly recommend it to all women!When I took the first look at myself in the mirror after my hair and make-up were done, tears came to my eyes….I looked sooooo beautiful and didn’t want the fairy-tale like night to end!-Lisa B
Boudoir In The City has returned. November 22nd, 23rd and 24th. This elegant, luscious weekend is held at one of the finest 5 star hotels in downtown Vancouver. This is a day of pampering. This is a day of being renewed and rejoicing in the skin you’re in! Boudoir is for every woman, every shape and size. This is a day about YOU. (It just so happens to work out in time as the perfect gift for the special person in your life, win/win!)
You may have some questions…..Who does a Boudoir?
Well….EVERY SINGLE WOMAN NEEDS TO HAVE ONE!! It really is that simple. All ages, all sizes, all body types. Boudoir is about bring out the beauty that’s in YOU. It’s not about mimicking something you see in a magazine. Boudoir is personal, its real, and its timeless.
When is the right time? Honestly, the right time is a personal choice for each woman, but I can say that no client of mine has ever regretted having had hers done, even if they were not in their “ideal size” jeans. Maybe you are thinking about having kids and want to document the body you have had your whole life before you give that body the blessing of growing a baby. Or maybe you have had a baby and realize what a miracle your body IS and are ready to celebrate and learn to feel sexy as hell again. Maybe you’re the woman who has messaged me several times saying you REALLY want to do a boudoir but you are too self-conscious right now, you just want to loose that last 15 pounds… let me tell you something. The time is now. Your only regret will be to keep putting your dreams aside. Let us show you exactly what your beauty is. MAYBE you are heading into your 60’s, you’re a grandma, your amazing body has taken you all over this world and done so many incredible things and you’re ready to get that sexy back and rejoice. Or perhaps you just need a good ole pick me up!!
I was very hesitant about booking a boudoir shoot after having two c-sections. I was feeling terrible about my new self, and really lacking any sort of confidence.Lisa and Gabby were truly amazing, Gabby was able to turn this frumpy mommy into a sexy lady!! Lisa was amazing at dealing with my body insecurities and pushing me outside of my comfort zone to get the best shots!
was blown away when I opened my email an these pictures of this sexy lady!! It was me!! I’m back in my groove
and feeling like I got my sexy back, thanks to Lisa and her amazing team!!

Once you have had your time with our amazing hair and make-up team with Gaby Ramirez Make Up you will come to me feeling EXCITED, probably still a bit nervous, and that’s OK!! It’s FUN to be excited right?? I personally get a thrill every time I start a boudoir session, i love to see the excitement in your faces, I LOVE to then see the look of confidence that flashes across your eyes once you start to FEEL that beauty i’ve been talking about. That sexy, soft, sensual side that is in all of us. Its a pure joy to see that through my lens.
“When Lisa took those photo’s of me, it was an amazing experience. I felt comfortable and at ease with Lisa and she made the whole shoot feel like I was posing with a friend. There was no awkwardness or uncomfortable moments. It was so fun! I am not a skinny girl and was worried I wouldn’t do well in the shoot (I was so nervous in Gaby’s chair!), feeling like I wasn’t thin enough or pretty enough, but have never felt more beautiful, more glamorous or more feminine than I did when I was posing for my pictures with Lisa. ~Jennifer P
This was the best experience ever! I had amazing time and felt so hot!!! Lisa, you are an amazing photographer and you brough my sexy back after me being just mom.-Andrea
“Lisa’s bubbly, fun attitude is so sincere and makes her easy to get along w
ith. When I walked in the door she immediately smiled and welcomed me as if I was a friend in her home, even offered me a drink! She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable and easy to get naked around ;)
Lisa is authentic as they come. She makes you feel completely comfortable the second you walk into the room! ~Laura S
The Boudoir in The City is for you if you are wanting very tasteful, sexy and elegant images to cherish, to gift, to remember forever.
What will your session be like? I can TRY to describe your time with us, but nothing will compare to what it will actually FEEL like…..You will arrive at the hotel and toss your keys to the hotel door man who will park your car (after all this is a day of pampering, spring for the parking attendant!), head to the concierge who will have your name and where you will be handed a key to our suite, the elevator will whisk you up to the floor and room, your session will start immediately when you walk in the door. Champagne will greet you as will your beauty specialist Gaby. You’re going to have a seat and start the transformation, Gaby will listen to all of your requests and concerns and recommend the best looks to suit your personal style. Hair and make-up will take approximately 90 mins, after which you will be shown your sexy new look!! If there is anything you do not love, it will be changed, you will come to the next suite to see me once you are perfectly HAPPY! It’s then you will pour out all of the outfits you have been trying to decide on! You and I will look over your outfits and choose the best ones to flow into your session, (YES I will help you!). After you have your selections I will give my “boudoir 101” lesson, give you some pointers where we will both giggle over because let’s face it, im pretty funny to watch getting my boudoir on! You will enter the private (gigantic) washroom and get itno your first outfit :) Now at this point you MAY come out in a robe, to which i will pry off of you using my wit and charm and perhaps some more bubbly :) By then most of my clients are relaxed and excited to get going. From then on it’s just fun girly time with me and you. The next 90 mins is where the true transformation begins. I cant tell you what EXACTLY is going to happen those 90 mins, you’re going to have to come and find out for yourself. But I can tell you that you will leave a completely different person. You will leave wondering why you have waited so long. You will leave wishing your time was not over. You will leave feeling AMAZING.

Hi Lisa
Just wanted to remind you of who I am, I am Ava’s grandma. You did the photo shoot of the playhouse my husband built for her for her birthday
I was wondering if you are going to have a bourdoir session coming up, or if I can just book one.
We are celebrating our 25th anniversary this August and I would like to get photos done for my husband
Deserae and I were just talking to other day about the family session with still have to finish up and I mentioned to her what I was thinking of doing and she had encouraged me to contact you
Look forward to heating back from you
Thanks
Glynis
