Fun on the Lanes! ~ Portrait Session, Vancouver, WA

Amanda's grandparents own the Allen's Crosly Lanes bowling alley in Vancouver, and she asked if we could have our session at her grandparents’ bowling alley. She remembered having tons of birthday parties and family celebrations there because her grandparents have owned it for many years. Because of the pandemic, the bowling alley was closed down for a while and had an uncertain future... so Amanda wanted to document it in a special way!

“Paper” One-Year Anniversary Gift Idea ~ Boudoir Photography, Vancouver, WA

The traditional one year anniversary gift is paper… what better way to honor that tradition than with an album of sexy, powerful boudoir photos? =D

I have a lot of clients who book sessions with me to create images for their significant other for special occasions (weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.) and this was one of those sessions!

This beautiful woman booked her session with me several months in advance so that she could pay it off little by little and not arouse her partner’s suspicion and ruin the surprise! When it was finally time for her session, I was so excited to work with her and create something amazing together!

Boobs Out and All ~ Guest Blog, Vancouver, WA Boudoir Photography

I couldn’t tell you how long my session lasted. It could have been 45 minutes. It could have been 3 hours. I honestly can’t remember. I just think about it and think of how relaxed I felt, boobs out and all.

I’ve since been able to see the shots Brittney captured, and I’m in love with them. Years of practicing my RBF paid off, and I don’t know what we talked about, but the genuine smiles and laughs she got were incredible. To see myself in that way, it made me feel powerful. Not the kind of power where you know you can do something, but the power you feel actually doing it.

Forever Your Little Girl ~ Wedding Dress-Up, Vancouver, WA

Maybe one day this little girl will wear this dress on her wedding day. She’ll be able to look back at these photos of herself as a 3 year old wearing her mother's wedding dress, and compare them to her own wedding photos. Maybe one day the dress will get passed on and used in various ways for generations to come. These images will always be there to document and remember this moment, between this mother and his daughter, and how much this dress meant for them

My First Attempt at Couples Boudoir! ~ Vancouver, WA

My First Attempt at Couples Boudoir! ~ Vancouver, WA

I was approached a couple of years back about intimately photographing a couple. At that time, I was pretty new in the boudoir world, and was still trying to get my bearings with posing and photographing women… I wasn’t yet ready to try to bring a second subject into the mix.

Since that time, I’ve learned a lot about the genre, followed some other amazing boudoir photographers, and started to get a little bit of FOMO of the CONNECTION that they are able to capture during their couples sessions. So I decided that 2021 was my year to branch out, try something new, and challenge myself!

My Studio Evolution - Brittney Corey Photography, Vancouver, WA

With 2020 came a lot of unusual changes. I don’t have to tell you how weird the last year has been, but I did find it interesting that even during a global pandemic, my business continued to grow, and my boudoir bookings were increasing. I made the very hard decision to branch out to my own space, a space that I could decorate and set up with more permanent set designs and larger props.

Rebecca & Ian ~ Vancouver, WA Maternity Photography

The light was absolutely GORGEOUS when I arrived at Wintler Community Park for our session. I always arrive about 15-20 minutes before a session to walk around, scout out some locations, and just generally breathe in some inspiration. I crossed my fingers HARD that the lighting wouldn’t change before Rebecca and Ian arrived… and was thrilled that it didn’t!

Don't Think, Just Boudoir ~ Guest Blog, Vancouver, WA Boudoir Photography

Honestly I didn’t even remember what we talked about but I was at ease and moved through the session naturally & comfortably. I found JOY!!

As I walked away from the studio, I was thinking to myself “Damn I’m pretty HOT!” and “what an intimately FUN experience I just had!!” I couldn’t wait to see how my pictures would turn out.

Unique Engagement Photo Location Ideas

I photograph couples a lot. They are usually in beautiful, outdoor locations, which I LOVE, but what I dig even more is photographing couples in places that MEAN something to them. I absolutely adore this couple’s engagement session at… Target! You guys, if a couple ever asked me to take their photos in a store like this, I would be on cloud nine! It would be so fun to challenge myself with this kind of creativity!

Here are a few more ideas that I have for some “unique” engagement session locations that honor your relationship together!

Celebrate Your Anniversary Boudoir-Style! ~ Vancouver, WA

I can’t say that I wasn’t a little bit jealous when my client recounted the story of her husband popping the question at 4000 feet in a hot air balloon! Talk about a beautiful, memorable story! So much so, in fact, that she decided to get a beautiful tattoo on her shoulder to honor the event, and her relationship. So, of course we made sure that the tattoo was shown off in her photos, as well!

Customer Appreciation Holiday Event ~ Vancouver, WA

/

Last year I had the grand idea of hosting a holiday photo event. I thought this would be a great way to thank my 2019 clients for their support over the course of the year, and also, possibly meet some new families! I had SO MUCH FUN, but I also quickly realized that I am NOT an interior designer… My holiday set up SUCKED. LOL (Much thanks to those families who still showed up and didn’t complain about the set. lol). So, this year, I decided to do the event again, but upped my game and rented a set at Moonlight Events in Vancouver. Best. Decision. Ever. =D

I photographed EIGHT families over the course of my four hour time block… and check out how ADORABLE they all were! (I need to get myself some of those comfy holiday jammies!)

For those of you who celebrate today’s holiday, Merry Christmas! To all of you, have an amazing weekend with your families. Thank you for your ongoing support of my small business, and all of my crazy ideas! =D

Say Yes to the Dress... Again! ~ Camas, WA Wedding Anniversary

What did you do with your dress after your wedding?

Mine is hanging up in my closet. I know that I probably should have gotten it preserved and cleaned…. but I just never got around to it. I’m not sure if it’ll ever be worn again, but maybe? Maybe my daughter will want it if/when she gets married… but who really knows.

I’ve had friends try on their dresses again years after their weddings to show their kids, or to surprise their spouses with, and always thought it sounded like a fun idea… so when this mama contacted me to PHOTOGRAPH her surprising her husband and kids in her wedding dress for their anniversary, I was so here for it!

Mommy & Me at Frenchman's Bar ~ Vancouver, WA

Mommy and Me photo sessions hold a special place in my heart. Moms usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to candid family photos — we often have to resort to selfies, deal with our partner’s idea of a “good” picture (OMG the angles that he chooses! lol), or just not be in them at all. We moms NEED photos of ourselves with our kids… bonus points for photos that we actually love to look at and make us feel beautiful.

Alexis + Karl ~ Engagement Photography, Vancouver, WA

One of my favorite places for photos in the Vancouver, Washington area is at Wintler Community Park. (I was actually just there this weekend for an elopement wedding session… more about THAT to come at a later date!)

I absolutely LOVE the beach in general, and Wintler has the best “beach” for photos that I’ve found in the area. If you know of a better beach-y area, though, I’m all ears! So I was MORE than excited when Alexis and Karl agreed to meet me at the park for their engagement photos!

Self Love, Body Positivity, and My First OUTDOOR Boudoir Session!

Last week I was thinking about self-love and body positivity and how many different definitions/ideas are out there about these terms. I know that I hear them all over the place, and, as a boudoir photographer, I use them a lot myself. So, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you all about *my* definition and philosophy around these terms … this will likely just be a complete brain dump... so keep that in mind. lol But, do read (or at least scroll) to the end and check out my FIRST EVER OUTDOOR BOUDOIR SESSION! (I’m pretty pumped about it… if you can’t tell. LOL)
