Vintage Chic Portrait - Victoria BC - 250.516.2457

This was my first time and it was amazing! Chelsea made me feel so comfortable and her makeup team made me feel so glamorous and gorgeous. We had a lot of laughs and it was just a great day. My whole life I have struggled with my weight and self love and after the birth of my third son that all changed and I wanted to do a boudoir shoot to show off my new found confidence and self love! I also am a believer in going outside your comfort zone and this was the perfect opportunity! My favourite part of the session was getting to pose in front of the camera with someone who knew exactly what she was doing and knowing the photos would be amazing. She also gave me a few sneak peeks!! Since having my photoshoot my self love has sky rocketed. I appreciate myself more which in turn I feel like I glow a little more and am able to love even bigger because I love myself! I see myself in a new way that I haven't been able to do before and that means so much to me. It was more than I expected. Chelsea is so knowledgeable in the way she poses you and tells you how to work your face. She also makes you feel so beautiful and not judged which is huge! Once you see your photos your jaw drops to the floor. I loved everything about my session from getting my makeup and hair done to posing I can't really pick just one part it was all amazing!! I would recommend everyone to contact her to get photos!

I had the most wonderful time during my session with Vintage Chic. Not only was it fun mixed with lots of laughing and giggling, my session made me feel gorgeous and sexy. I'm not what you call super feminine so letting myself be transformed was a real treat. It was quite a natural session and Chelsea and Melanie (makeup artist) were both very encouraging and fun to hang out with. It was interesting to see myself through some very different lenses. I can't wait for the reveal of my pictures. Thanks Chelsea!!

This day and age, many women feel pressured to look and act a certain way, to tick a box they were placed in and try to fit the image that has been created for us. It’s difficult to stop picking on our ‘flaws’ and simply appreciate our bodies for what they are. The process of transferring your insecurities and forming them into acceptance is by far the most challenging part of self-love. Boudoir shoots may not only show you the “flaws” in a new positive light but also accentuate your existing qualities. We’re all guilty of often being too harsh on ourselves and there’s no shame in being reminded of our self-worth and individuality.For nearly an hour, I got to have an experience that felt both out-of-body and the most in touch with my body I’ve ever been. Chelsea knew how to get my “best” angles, but she also wasn’t afraid to show my body, I felt like a movie star or a model…or better yet, me, I walked out of my session with Chelsea feeling like a new person. Not only did I feel sexy and strong, but I knew I could continue to look at myself the way Chelsea did through her lens. That even on the days when my depression and anxiety were at their worst, I could remember how that moment felt. Yes, I’m more than my body but my body is worth loving, too.Maybe it’s not perfect, but here it is.”“Confidence is a superpower .once you start believing in yourself , magic starts happening”

I cannot say enough good things about the service that myself and my mom received with Vintage Chic. My mom is battling cancer right now and doing a photo shoot to create memories of the beauty through this painful journey has been an experience that I will cherish forever. Not only were we put at ease, from start to finish during the shoot but we were made to feel beautiful and empowered. My mom has always been self-conscious of her looks, and losing all of her hair has only made this worse. She felt relaxed and wonderful from start to finish at the shoot. From the moment we entered the studio I knew that we were going to have an amazing day, and we did filled with laughs, and no tears.
If you or a loved one is going through this battle, I cannot recommend strongly enough going and doing a photo shoot to document the journey. The photos and memories that are created are ones that you will have forever.
