It’s a Jack and Ruby first! Our ‘Friends of Jack and Ruby’ posts are a way for us to share with our clients all of the fabulous people we work with in the wedding industry. This is the first time we’ve featured another photographer. Well, TWO photographers, actually. Lizette and Carol are Coco Boudoir. They are absolutely AMAZING at what they do. These two ladies know how to take tasteful, classy, sophisticated boudoir photographs that ANY bride would be so proud to present to her groom on their wedding day. As brides we do so much to get ready for the big day. We eat a little less, exercise a little more, cut and color our hair, get our nails done…. all these things for one day. Why not take advantage of all the hard work you’ve already gone to and book a session with Coco Boudoir. You are looking your absolute best, why not make the most of it? We can guarantee you Lizette and Carol will bring out the best in you and give you images that you will love forever!
When Carol and Lizette launched Coco Boudoir we read on their site why they wanted to get involved in shooting boudoir photos and it really stuck with us because it seems as women we are always stuck looking in the mirror wishing we could change something or other, rather than looking in the mirror and seeing the beauty and strength that we possess right now!
“We were inspired by the strength and beauty we saw and wanted a way to show all women how beautiful they are right now, not next year, a bit more toned or 10 lbs lighter, but right now.”
Boudoir is not just for brides, it’s for anyone who wants to have beautiful photos of themselves taken. When the word boudoir comes up most people right away think of lingerie but by taking a look at their blog you’ll see that that’s not always the case! Carol and Lizette are constantly scouring the web, Forever 21, and so many other places to find things for their wardrobe and they do a great job of mixing in pieces from your everyday wardrobe into the shoot if that’s the look you’re going for.
We asked Lizette and Carol our usual Jack and Ruby questions. Here’s what they had to say;
Whats your favourite thing in your closet?
Lizette: My brown boots! they are so comfy and make feel put together.
Carol: My silver jeans! They are soooo comfortable and look great on everyone!
What’s your ideal getaway?
Lizette: Some place hot, overseas and with breathtaking scenery. You should see my Pinterest board, there are so many places I want to see someday.
Carol: Beach, sand and sun, doesn’t matter where…
What’s your favourite indulgence?
Lizette: Chicken wings!!! I bet Carol will Say chips, chocolate and surfing the web 
Carol: oh, Lizette, you think you know me so well… it’s actually, chocolate, web surfing (it’s an addiction really) THEN chips.
What’s your favourite movie?
Lizette: There has only ever been 2 movies that have made me cry, I am Sam and my Sister’s Keeper, so for that reason I’ll pick those since I’m pretty difficult to make gushy and tearful. If I’m going for a good laugh then it’s black sheep hands down.
Carol: I love movies! So hard to pick one but I would have to say Titanic. I saw it a different time with each of my girlfriends and once with my fiance, for a grand total of 8 times. Not a typo people 8 times. Obsessed much? I think I should break out the vhs player and watch it again…
What’s your favourite way to spend a weekend?
Lizette: Truthfully I love busy weekends that are chalk full of friends and family
Carol: Snuggled on the couch watching movies with my girls and my husband.
What do you love about your job?
Lizette: I LOVE seeing the confidence of our clients while we’re photographing them. They are always smiling from ear to ear saying how beautiful we helped make them feel. The emails we receive after they (and their significant others) see their gallery is pretty awesome too! Basically I love making women feel beautiful and confident. How lucky am I?
Carol: The photoshoot itself is my favourite. I love going through the outfits the women bring and picking just the right thing. I get giddy when we get shooting and I see the images on the back of the camera. I love, love, love when I show an image to a woman on my camera and she says, “That’s me???”
