Treat Your Inner Goddess…She Deserves It.

The Original Goddess Collective

It took a long time (many years) to decide on how I wanted to offer these sessions to my clientele. You see I had a vision for a ‘boudoir’ style that wasn’t like everyone else’s, and I was never in love with the common boudoir style. Not to mention the term boudoir never ever sat right with me. The term Glamour was a runner up for my style in the Goddess Collective but again it just didn’t hold that true divine power in the word itself. Divinity holds a class full power to it and that’s how I wanted all the women I work with to feel, like the true Goddess they are. Goddess, yes that one sang to my heart and the style I had finally achieved for these empowering sessions, and so the Goddess Collective was FINALLY born.

I’m passionate about inspiring women to love themselves and help them find their inner Goddess. I strive to make timeless images that EMPOWER you. I often get asked ‘But Andrea I’m not a model. Aren’t all these women models?’ The truth is, No! The women I work with are every day women, like myself. They were brave and put their trust into me to create something timeless divine and powerful.

So whether you’re expecting, or just want to feel that inner goddess express herself I’m excited to help you capture that empowering beauty.

Empowering ALL Women

REGULAR VS MINI SESSIONS

Mini Sessions, what are they and why are they different from a regular session?

These Sessions are NOT:

my regular photo session offered at a discount.
insanely good deals offered to anyone who wants them at any time.
customizable like a full session

They ARE:

Exactly as they sound, a mini session.
They consist of a shorter time frame (15 mins vs 1-2hrs)
They consist of a lower number of images than a regular session
While less expensive than a regular session they are a ‘pop-up’ flash like seasonal sale.
They are only offered on specific dates & times of the year
They are planned a year in advance
They are specific
They are a little taste of my style and service for those who’ve never worked with me before

Regardless of what session you choose, I can’t wait to meet and work with you!

MoonDreams | Category: Fine Art | Score: Merit

We can’t thank you enough for supporting our little business and continuing to help us grow in our passion of the art of Photography. These scores wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our little village of clients, mentors, family & friends.

TIP TUESDAY #9

7 Tips for Preparing for Your Spring Session

With the first official day of spring literally a couple days away, we’ve gone ahead and given you some tips to ensure your day is stress free and flawless for your spring session. Listen up!

Wear layers. Spring can be finicky in the sense that you can go from frigid to over heated in a matter of minutes. We suggest wearing layers — tank top, tee shirt, cardigan, scarf, etc. That way each family member can peel off, or add, a layer as they see fit and remain comfortable throughout the session.
Location is a big deal. You better believe we’re going to take advantage of the fresh, warm air and all those bud popping up from the ground and in the trees. If you have any favorite locations, let us know. We have a nice list on hand, ourselves.
Play into the colours of the season when choosing your family’s outfits. Fresh pops of green, blue, pink and yellow are always a hit in the springtime. We recommend choosing a color theme for the whole gang, then slightly deviating from that with accessories to keep things interesting.
Speaking of accessories: wear them! Choose jewelry, scarves, or prints that play into the spring theme. Butterflies, flowers, insects, etc, can make for some super adorable family pictures.
Time it right. Book a session too early and you may miss out on those spring buds. Book too late and you’ve already wandered into summer territory. Keep an eye on the weather and give your photographer a call when the time is right.
Incorporate props. Spring offers some beautiful backdrops where props blend in perfectly. For example, old wooden chairs look stunning in a sea of blooming rose bushes, and a quilted blanket is lovely on the fresh, green grass. (ALP Studio offers some great props to choose from to bring to your session. These can be identified and selected during your pre-session planning consult).
Really think about your footwear. Spring can often mean a soggy ground, so flip-flops or heels are not the best choice. Instead, wear something that’s comfortable and spring appropriate, like loafers, flats or boots.

See you in the Spring!

Xo,
