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.
