BEAUTY & EMPOWERMENT
ARTWORK

“She went above and beyond to capture a huge range of shots in line with my vision, giving great direction and encouragement along the way”

Megan P.


Kate Tutty offers Vancouver and Victoria BC based boudoir photography experiences. These sessions are all about self discovery and exploring self-image medicine that re-connects you with your inner and outer beauty in all of its diversity. Photography is the one true medium that captures everything that’s evolved you, and everything that you bring into this moment and the next chapter of your life.

Whether you’re seeking an incredible gift or to celebrate you, I’m here to help you feel safe and seen. Whatever it is about boudoir photography that speaks to you, my intention is to collaborate, connect and honour yourself with a luxurious, professional, and confidential investment in celebrating, and empowering, you in your skin.

I work with and welcome all femme and non binary genders and ages to help people connect to their authentic self – their sensuality – it’s work I’m deeply honoured to do. Please scroll to review this summary of the experiences and tangible artwork I offer my clients to get an idea of what we can create together. I welcome a diversity of expressions in my sessions, but do not offer erotica photography services at this time.

Warmly,

Kate Tutty
Photographer & Editor

CELEBRATE YOUR SPARKLE

BEAUTY IS Unique to each being – it’s SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE IN ITS DIVERSITY.

Building and rebuilding a relationship with ourselves is a life long journey.

This is artwork that reshapes how you see yourself – beyond the gaze of others.

Let’s celebrate the body and being that’s carried you through every peak and valley.

KIND WORDS

HEre’s some heartwarming reflections from others who have gone on self image journey with me.

LAURA L.

Kate has been my go to photographer for many years. Her eye for photography is unreal and she is so multitalented. From dance, boudoir to branding and my website; she’s been able to do it all so well. She has the ability to make anyone look good, and feel good in front of the camera. The follow up process of getting the photos is also awesome! She has such a detailed eye for edits and includes me in every part of the process. Definitely hire her!!

DARCY

Kate made the project so much fun! She has such an eye for creative detail and is also so professional. She made me feel comfortable while in front of the camera, and captured the vision perfectly. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone who is looking for an inspiring creative process to take part in, and for an overall great experience as well!

HEATHER

I did a boudoir photography session, and I had so much fun shooting with Kate. She gave wonderful guidance for posing and had a lot of ideas around the studio. I felt really comfortable the whole time. Would recommend to anyone!

Meet Kate

Your body image specialist

Kate has spent a decade behind the lens, holding spaces for clients that enhance their self image through a gentle exploration into their authentic self expression, unique and self-empowered beauty.

As someone whose struggled with chronic illness, a fluid identity, and healing my own fractured relationship with the male gaze, sensual self-image artwork is a process I’m honoured to offer and explore with clients.

With a background as a dancer and circus artist, and through her time training at a spice positive pole studios, Kate’s become a firm ally for folks in the queer, alt. and sw communities.

Kate’s artistic approach is deeply romantic, symbolic, poetic, narrative-oriented and tailored towards discovering and preserving each client’s unique and expressive sensuality.

FEEL SAFE AND SEEN – THROUGH EVERY CHAPTER

EMPOWERMENT JOURNEYS

Your body is there for you through every stage.

Artwork that reshapes how you see yourself – through the ages.

You don’t have to be a model, you don’t have to be in the so called “best shape of your life.” All you have to be ready for – is to evolve how you see yourself.

Kate explores different poses with you through each step of the session – her collaborative approach is deeply inspired by her early days working with other artists and dancers, and folx in the queer and non binary communities to explore photography as a means of self and gender affirming care.

She offers digitals, albums, and wall art that captures and preserves your self image wins for years to come.

– THE PROCESS –

01.

CONNECT ON A DISCOVERY CALL

AND OUR ARTISTIC STYLE

In this first stage, we connect on a call and I get a sense of what you’re seeking from a boudoir experience. On the call I hear about your goals for a session and I share more details about the session options, prints, and what to expect. 
 
Delivery timelines are also important, so if you’re hoping to have artwork in time for a special occasion, please book yourself in well in advance. 

02.

BOOKING

Let’s make it official

After our call, I’ll share package options (for your session and artwork collection), a booking form and contract. On the booking form there’s space to outline your payment options.
 
The full session fee and contract is required to secure your booking and hold a date for your session.

Payment plans are available for up to 18 months. Since life happens sometimes, you’re welcome to rechedule your session once with 48 hours notice. 

03.

PREPARE FOR YOUR SESSION

We’ll explore how you long to be seen

Once your booking is official, you’ll receive a welcome guide to help you prepare for your session. In the weeks leading up to our photoshoot date, I’ll coordinate a story board and we can explore outfit options that fit your vision.

Defining and photographing how you feel most sensual is an important part of my process.

The balance is due 7 days before your session, in order to qualify for the prepayment discount.

04.

PHOTO SHOOT TIME

THE DAY HAS ARRIVED

When you arrive for your session, I’ll have a selection of decadent snacks and refreshments while you’re getting ready.

Throughout our photo shoot, I’ll demonstrate and coach you through some awesome poses and dial in all the lighting and details so that you feel relaxed and in your element from start to finish.
 

05.

ORDER YOUR ARTWORK

IT LASTS A LIFETIME

After our session, we’ll plan a reveal where you select your favourite 5 – 50 images and order any additional products.

I offer light and professional retouching of all of my images, which generally focus on refining non-permanent physical features (skin textures, blemishes etc.) to enhance your natural beauty.

As a personal preference, my editing style includes some natural skin texture.

06.

DELIVERY

THAT LASTS A LIFETIME

When your order is ready, 2 – 4 weeks after your reveal, you will receive a link to a private gallery fully integrated into my digital storefront to download your images. All of my premium prints and products are from my favourite professional Canadian print labs (GTA Imaging).

Your gallery will be hosted privately in my client portal for up to 1 year. Products are proofed and shipped to me for quality inspection, packaged and delivered to your doorstep. 
 
Due to the sensitive nature of boudoir work, only the images that are included in your order will be saved and stored for up to 1 year.

FAQ

Got Questions?

Yes of course! When you pre-pay for a luxury boudoir photography collection you receive a 20% discount. Most people want to order more than the base digital package when they finally see their georgeous images so keep that in mind.
 
The collection payment must be recieved in full before your gallery and products are designed and delivered.

Don’t even worry about hair and makeup that will have you looking and feeling like a stranger – that’s the opposite of what we’re trying to achieve.  The look we always aim for is an enhanced version of you.
 
I like to work closely with each of my clients to style direction and mood board that reflects their version of sexiness.  The styling process is our chance to get to fully pamper you, and allow you to indulge in the experience. All of the stylists I work with, are amazing humans and experienced body positive professionals. 

Please wear whatever makes you feel your best to your boudoir photography session!
 
 Having outfits that fit well is important, so I encourage clients to bring a few of their own outfits. You’re also welcome to explore some of my options to supplement what they already have. I have a few wardrobe pieces that I lend out for sessions (please note that my ever evolving client closet is very femme at the moment). I also encourage clients to rent boudoir gowns from time to time if they’re seeking an extra flare. If you did want to try on or wear anything from my wardrobe, I ask that you wear dark or nude undergarments. I also encourage my Victoria-based clients to look into Mel Lingerie for higher-end fittings. I always try to keep outfits and styling minimalist when I’m shooting outdoors (that’s why my outdoor sessions earned the name “you’re a natural”)

We have a selection of outfits from size XS-2X from local designer Twin Flame Lingerie, as well as a Reclamation maternity boudoir gown, leather harness set, and a XSM Honey Birdette corsette. There are only a handful of selections in each size, but it’s a great option to explore some new looks. Take a look through your boudoir welcome guide when you get a chance for some insights into how to prepare and as well as some wardrobe recommendations. If you’d like some recommendations, some universally flattering looks for diverse bodies include things like high waisted undies, and body suits. All client wardrobe pieces are washed and have a sanitation liner that’s changed in between each client.

Since we live in a world where folx, sadly, screenshot digital artwork, I do require either an in person proofing and ordering approintment or a prepayment for one of the collections as a condition of creating your proof gallery. You can, of course, upgrade your collection when your proof gallery is revealed.
 
Boudoir photography ordering sessions typically happen on Zoom.

I’m there from start to finish to help you breathe, relax, laugh, and feel at ease during your session (I used to be a yoga teacher!). Honestly, no one knows what to do with their hands or toes which is why I’m happy to demonstrate poses throughout your session. I’ll ask you things like “what your favourite features are” to get an idea of what parts of your body you like to rock and emphasize with your posing. I know how to help pose you to ensure you feel and look like the most radient, empowered, and spieciest version of yourself. Having a great playlist helps, and I’ll always have a speaker with me and take song requests.

I do offer these from time to time at select times of the year (great option for industry babes as well). Subscribe to my email list for updates.
