Sleeping Beauties: Vintage, Ethereal Boudoir Shoot

A great stylist can bring your vision to life and a great photographer can capture the emotions in the air. We’re so excited to share this styled lingerie shoot from Justine Celina Maguire, a Calgary lifestyle blogger with a focus on Canadiana and telling beautiful stories set in our landscape. She’s a bit of a style maverick, with a casual sophistication that’s easy to translate into your own wardrobe. Together with Gabe McClintock Photography, she’s styled a boudoir shoot using vintage pieces and set in a character home, which gives the entire shoot a raw, natural beauty that we adore. Hear more from Justine after the jump!

From the stylist:

I’d worked with Gabe previously on a few styled shoots, so when he came to me with a different idea for a boudoir shoot, I was so excited to partner with him and help bring his vision to life! Together, we created images that were ethereal, feminine and raw — something unique and fresh in the boudoir category. I curated a wardrobe of vintage lingerie in soft, winter-inspired pastel hues with romantic lace accents and whimsical details. We kept Irene’s makeup soft and natural with a defined, matte eye and two lip options — a light peachy nude, and a berry stain. Her hair was styled in soft, finger-combed waves with a deep side part for a pretty, undone look.

The shoot took place in a character home with huge windows on a very white winter day. The space was staged to maximize the beautiful natural light and create a serene backdrop for our images. Vintage furniture was juxtaposed with modern touches and crisp white linens to keep the overall look pretty and fresh. We wanted to give the viewer the feeling that they’re getting an authentic glimpse into Irene’s bedroom — Gabe captured moments that are personal, innocent and alluring.

For this collection of images, we wanted a soft, vintage feeling. Gabe shot everything with the Contax 645 or the Leica M7, on Kodak Portra 400 film.
