Hi, I'm Emilie.

Photographer. Mom. Woman. Dreamer. The soul behind Studio Revival.

I'm a mom of two, a photographer, a creative, and a woman who understands that life has a funny way of changing us.

I've always loved photography, but what I love most about boudoir isn't simply taking beautiful photographs.

It's what happens when a woman sees herself differently.

I love that moment when someone who walked into my studio feeling nervous, unsure, or disconnected from herself begins to relax.

Her shoulders drop.

She laughs.

She starts to feel comfortable.

And somewhere along the way, she realizes:

“Oh… that's me.”

That is the part of this work I will never get tired of.

Why Boudoir?

I've always been drawn to the beauty in people—the little things that make someone uniquely themselves.

Boudoir gives me the opportunity to capture that in a really personal way.

It's not about creating a perfect version of you.

It's about creating photographs that make you feel seen, beautiful, feminine, confident, and completely yourself.

And as a woman and a mom, I understand how easy it can be to put yourself last.

Life gets busy.

We take care of everyone else.

Our bodies change. Our priorities change. We move through seasons that can sometimes leave us wondering where we went.

That's one of the reasons this work means so much to me.

I get to create a space where, for a little while, you get to be the priority.

A little about me

I understand the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

I know what it's like to have a million things on your mind, to spend your days taking care of everyone else, and to sometimes realize you've forgotten to take care of yourself.

I'm also a naturally creative person. I love beautiful details, music, fashion, good food, meaningful conversations, and finding beauty in ordinary moments.

And I genuinely love people.

I love getting to know the woman behind the photographs—the stories she's lived, the chapters she's entering, the things she's proud of, and even the things she's still learning to love about herself.

You don't have to be a certain type of woman to belong in my studio.

You just have to be you.

Why Studio Revival?

Studio Revival was created around the idea of coming back to yourself.

Because sometimes life takes us away from who we were.

Sometimes we lose confidence.

Sometimes we become so focused on being a mom, partner, daughter, professional, or caretaker that we forget we're also a woman with dreams, desires, personality, beauty, and a life of her own.

Revival is about reconnecting with that woman.

Not becoming someone new.

Not fixing yourself.

Just remembering that she's still there.

And yes, I still get excited every time I pick up my camera.

After all these years, I still love the anticipation of a session.

The music playing.

The wardrobe coming together.

The little conversations between photographs.

The moment a client sees an image on the back of the camera and suddenly goes quiet because she didn't expect to see herself that way.

Those moments are why I do this.

Photography allows me to create something beautiful, but boudoir allows me to create something that can mean so much more.

A reminder.

A celebration.

A turning point.

A love letter to yourself.

And sometimes, simply a really beautiful photograph of a woman who decided she was worth showing up for.

I'm so glad you're here.

If you're considering a boudoir session, I hope you know that you don't have to arrive confident.

You don't have to know how to pose.

You don't have to have the “perfect” body.

You don't even have to be completely sure that boudoir is for you.

Come as you are.

I'll take care of the rest.

I'm Emilie, and I'd be honoured to photograph you.
