The Boudoir Studio That Checks ALL The Boxes!

I have been specializing EXCLUSIVELY in all forms of boudoir photography since 2008. This is not a side-service I've added onto my studio offerings, rather 'Boudoir' has been what I've lived and breathed for over a decade. The term Boudoir Photography gets used incorrectly quite often. Boudoir photography isn’t so much a style of photography, as it is an approach to photography. Boudoir shoots extend far beyond women being photographed in their intimate outfits or in the buff. It is a dance between the photographer and the client - the client being a woman who has most-likely never done a photo shoot before, let alone a photo shoot so unquestionably soul baring! This dance involves complete trust, along with professionalism, connection, guidance and the courage to try something new. Boudoir photoshoots are all about embracing womanhood, celebrating the goddess within and creating OUR OWN definitions of beauty. Read on to see what makes my boudoir studio your best choice...

Guelph Boudoir Photography

Renowned Guelph Photographer specializing in Boudoir, Portrait, Maternity & Artistic Nude Photo Shoots

I'm Katie Refling and I've been running my boudoir photography studio for over 15 years. I first started off in Toronto as one of Canada's original exclusive boudoir specialists, then a decade and thousands of clients later, I finally relocated my studio to Downtown Guelph after moving to the city a few years prior. My private studio is located in the awesome heritage building Boarding House Arts on Dublin St. S. I've had the privilege of working with countless awesome and inspiring women over the years as they took the epic plunge into embracing their true selves and owning their unique, unfiltered beauty. My favourite part of it all? Watching my clients feel empowered and hearing afterwards how the amazing effects of their photoshoots and experience in the studio trickle down into all parts of their lives. // READ MORE ABOUT ME

"Thank you for the major self-confidence and self-acceptance boost. I feel beautiful and somehow feel I found the me I lost?! I don’t know how else to say it. Thank you so very much." ~ Cerie

"I was very nervous driving to my photo shoot with Katie, but my fears were instantly gone when I walked in Katie’s studio and had a a quick chat with her. Her energy took away all of my anxiety and I continued to feel more and more at ease during the shoot. By the end of our session, I was walking around in my lingerie like nobody’s business and I felt so sexy! Katie, I want to thank you so much for this amazing experience; I will look back on these gorgeous photos with such great memories for years to come." ~ Nat

"As a plus size woman, I thought looking beautiful and sexy in photos was impossible, but you have opened my eyes and shown me that I am beautiful. I really feel like a big part of me has changed for the best since our photo shoot. I’m so grateful that I had the guts to do this and that you made me feel so comfortable." ~ Theresa

Plan YOUR photoshoot and see for yourself!

This is my passion and it's been going strong since I opened my studio in 2008.

When you walk through the doors you will be a little (or maybe even VERY) nervous knowing what you’re about to embark on. It’s one thing scrolling through gorgeous photos on Instagram or Pinterest and fantasizing about doing your own shoot, but it’s an entirely different story when you’re changing into your first ‘barely there’ outfit and thinking “well, here goes nothing!” Breathe easier knowing I hear this on the daily: “You made that way easier than I thought!”
