Embracing Alopecia: Vancouver Boudoir Photographer

Meet the incredible Ms.M! This gorgeous human has a condition called alopecia where her immune system attacks her hair follicles and as a result she is bald. Don’t feel bad for her though. She is proud of her beautiful bald black head and is even more proud to show off her overall beauty!

Together we co-created these amazing images with a Mateus Studios Boudoir Portrait Experience and as you’ll see, her session was not all about lingerie! Ms.M opted to wear a variety of outfits that I think were just perfect to capture her vivaciousness, her sparkle, her sensuality and her fierceness!

As you may know, I’m an Award Winning Vancouver Boudoir Photographer and I’m super proud to share that a few of Ms.M’s images were winners in The 2022 Portrait Masters Image Awards! And, this lovely was a participant in our Fabulous Beyond 40 Exhibition!

Ms.M is definitely fab and fierce and I hope you love her photos as much as I do! Enjoy!
