Boudoir photography is a style of portrait photography focused on capturing confidence, self-expression, and individuality in a private, professional setting. At Fontaine Photography in Vancouver, boudoir sessions are designed to be tasteful, artistic, and empowering, using professional lighting, posing, and styling to highlight each client’s unique beauty.

Family and lifestyle photography captures real connection, emotion, and everyday moments in a natural way. These sessions go beyond posed portraits to document how families interact, laugh, and spend time together, whether in a Vancouver studio or at an outdoor location in Burnaby or the Lower Mainland.

Yes. Personal items such as heirlooms, baby blankets, meaningful accessories, or business tools are welcome. These details help make each photoshoot more personal and allow the final images to better reflect the client’s story or brand.

Professional photos are used for business websites, LinkedIn profiles, social media, marketing materials, press features, corporate directories, family albums, wall art, and digital branding across online platforms.

Professional photography builds trust, credibility, and visual consistency. High-quality images help Vancouver businesses appear established, reliable, and professional online, which directly impacts how potential clients and partners perceive a brand.

Studio photography uses professional lighting, high-resolution cameras, controlled environments, and trained photographers. This produces cleaner, sharper, and more flattering images that are consistent across platforms and far more effective for branding, marketing, and professional use.

Clients should wear well-fitted clothing in neutral or coordinated tones that reflect their style or brand. Avoid busy patterns or logos unless they are part of the branding. Fontaine Photography provides wardrobe guidance to help clients look polished and camera-ready.

Most Vancouver photography studios recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance. During busy seasons such as spring, summer, and fall, earlier booking helps secure preferred dates and times.

Headshot sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes, while branding, family, and boudoir sessions usually range from 60 to 120 minutes to allow for multiple looks, poses, and setups.

Headshots are clean, professional portraits used for profiles and corporate needs. Branding photography includes a wider variety of images that show personality, lifestyle, and visual storytelling for websites, social media, and marketing.

Preparation includes selecting outfits ahead of time, getting rest, staying hydrated, and reviewing any styling or posing guides provided by the studio. Light grooming and simple makeup also help ensure natural, polished results.

Both offer advantages. Studio sessions provide controlled lighting and privacy, while outdoor sessions offer natural light and scenic Vancouver backdrops. The best choice depends on the style and purpose of the photos.

Professional photographers guide clients through posing, expression, and movement while creating a relaxed environment. Clear direction, encouragement, and experience help even camera-shy clients feel confident.

A professional photography studio provides high-quality equipment, experienced photographers, consistent lighting, private shooting spaces, professional editing, and a structured client experience from start to finish.

A photoshoot begins with light direction and setup, followed by guided posing, outfit changes, and multiple lighting setups. The photographer reviews images throughout the session to ensure flattering angles and strong results before selecting the best images for editing.
