It is crazy to think back, but I have had the pleasure of photographing Jess for the last 3 years. She has grown up to be such a beautiful

We met at Ottawa Valley Studios for her session. Her hair and makeup were done by Shannon of SD Beauty out of Ottawa, "She was friendly

Now, let's do this! 2017 is here and ready to go, and we are too. This year is looking to be a great year for Bold and Radiant and to st

It is hot out there ... And we have the perfect excuse for you to cool down. Click here to book now! These past few weeks have been an absolute pleasure for us here at Bold and Radiant, as we have had many women come by and take part in our #waterbeauty sessions. They have been especially exciting, as we have had women who would never had thought of having a professional photo shoot done of them selves ( do to self esteem issues, body issues etc.) and have walked away feeling

This is a session I couldn't wait to share. This amazing women was a referral from a past client whom we had also done some fine art work for, and when she saw the images from said client, she said to us "i want that". When we get to shoot Fine Art, the experience from every shoot is completely new and exciting, we really get to let loose with our creativity and it's always a blast. But today you get to hear about it from her, so please welcome "Mrs. N" to the blog, as she ta

Last year we thought we would do something different, what came out of this thought was themed sessions, the first one that came to mind was water and what can we do with water, and from there the Wet Sessions were born! We had a blast photographing our wet sessions, held at Bold and Radiant. It was a small event with roughly 13 participants.

So all these lovely Bride to be's get all of this together

With us just finishing up with a Bridal Boudoir this past week, I thought this would be a great time to have a little talk about why it's such a great idea for all the lovely bride to be's! Many new brides struggle with finding that perfect wedding day gift to give to their husband to be. And rightly so, I mean men are hard to buy for, they can be picky! What do you get him, a nice engraved flask? Maybe a personalized pocket knife? nope! I know... a beer cozy, right!!! Ther

Bold and Radiant Photography Boudoir photography has had a lot of media play in the last year as it is beginning to have a big resurgence. It seems that it has a been doing this for the last 30 yrs, but in different ways. In the 80's it was all about GLAMOUR, big hair, big shoulder pads, big boas. In the 90's it was more the HEROINE CHICK, ya know grim and grimy. In the early 00's it took a bit of a back seat. But now we are seeing some very beautiful and timeless images mad

Store front Studio vs At Home Studio. You know it’s a funny thing, as a photographer you are always looking at what’s best for your business, what are the trends and what are the benefits. One of those trends / benefits that a lot of people focus on is having a Store front Studio, you know the ones that are in a downtown area or a bustling suburb.
