I can not express how grateful I am to Bonnie whose expertise and eye for detail completely captured the essence of the evening, incredible photo's that I will cherish forever. All of my guests commented on how absolutely beautiful her work was, she made us all look like movie stars at the Academy Awards!

March, 2014Finally, I can look at myself from the outside how I thought people saw me, and how I felt I looked from the inside. I am ready to feel it all and be fully alive and present to the joy and challenge of being a woman in this body in order to more fully become myself and I will never be able to repay Bonnie for working to shine her light through my darkness to feel beautiful and sensual again. I strongly recommend that EVERYONE go through this process for self awareness reasons, themselves and give yourself the gift of looking at yourself in a new perspective and in the ways others see you that you might not see

November, 2016I have never done a formal photographic portfolio before, but, having just ended a 30-year professional career, I thought the time was right--to celebrate my accomplishments, to essentially document, in photographs, that I have lived. Although I was aware that most of her work was with women, Bonnie had no hesitation in taking me on, collaborating with me, and getting me comfortable with her suggestions for some great shots. We spent several hours together taking hundreds of images, and I am proud to say that the results were extraordinary--easily the best photographs of me I have ever seen. Just having them to look at and share has empowered me in ways I did not expect; I would highly recommend Bonnie's experience and professionalism to bring out the very best in you. You will never feel more proud of yourself!

January, 2016The photos Bonnie took, when I first viewed them, were absolutely mesmerizing. Talk about an out-of-body experience!. They revealed a side of me I haven’t met or consciously thought about for years (I’m 72). Instead of preparing myself to cringe or feel embarrassed, I saw the woman I secretly have always wanted to see... poised, radiant, beautiful... I was 100% satisfied with my purchase and cannot wait to pick up the rest of my package (I already have my phone app, which is awesome!) Thanks Bonnie, you’re the best."

October, 2016I had an incredible experience at Bonne Belle Boudoir Photography. I felt so at ease which even surprised me because usually I need to warm up to people first. Bonnie was extremely professional and made sure that I felt comfortable right away. She is a genius with makeup and her studio was beautiful. I recommend her to anyway one who wants to take a step out of their own skin and see themselves in a completely different light. I am not a small girl and i was quite worried that my chubbiness would overtake and I of course am my own worst critic but when i saw some of the shots, my breath was completely taken away. Best experience ever and definitely a keepsake in my time line to look back on when i'm older. Much love

October, 2016Working with Bonnie has been a blast each time; she is encouraging and really makes you feel so good about yourself and your body. She is adept at providing a comfortable and judgement-free environment. Her photos are masterful; I would describe her style as whimsical realism. Bonnie is personable, open, and very honest in a way that isn't overwhelming nor aggressive. She has such an eye for that magical, ethereal lighting and can make any woman feel like an absolute Goddess - because we all are!

May, 2016We thought you were a fantastic photographer! You made us feel comfortable and at ease and you were very accommodating and helpful as we were picking out our wedding date and location for pictures. We were extremely pleased with our pictures... more than we had asked for; with a variety of poses and unique ideas. Not to mention the fact that you provided us with a beautiful slideshow that went above and beyond what we had expected...thanks again! We have referred you and have only positive things to say about having you as our photographer.
~ Brittany Trombley
April, 2016I have always mentioned your name and always say how pleased I am. I use your photograph for all my business advertising and have no intention of changing them for awhile. They captured me on a day where I look rested, polished, professional and feminine. You are sweet to deal with and I definitely would use you and still want you to do some shots of my daughter and I if and whenever she comes to Kelowna.
~Deborah Betts
March, 2016Bonnie you are an amazing photographer and absolutely loved working with you. Yes I felt super comfortable and relaxed and it was really fun doing our photo shoot with you. I was thrilled with my photos and loved loved loved them. I've been using them for my head shots for my acting portfolio and auditions. I feel really beautiful and I have received my complements as well as tons of likes on Facebook when I used them for my profile pictures as well. You were very easy to work with and I liked you right away. You have a beautiful energy and spirit and I loved working with you
~ Judy Jones
April, 2016MAGICAL. The photos are beautiful, tasteful, artful, and mysterious. They are a fantasy brought to life, and into light. They were better than I could have hoped for and I literally CANNOT wait until we do the next shoot!! And to post them online; my friends are going to go nuts. I just had so much fun I am champing at the bit to get back in the saddle. Or I suppose to get undressed in front of a camera once more because I LOVE the feeling that it gives me. Love, love. It is empowering and fantastical and spiritual in a way. It helps me connect to me - a meditation of sorts.
~Amanda Niicole
March, 2016I loved having you as my photographer, I was really relaxed and enjoyed myself a lot. I felt empowered when I saw my photos, they made me feel that I am worthy and beautiful. I kept saying ‘’wow, that’s me!’’ lol. I have already told people about you and I will tell more. I will tell them that you are very professional and kind, super fun and that you made me comfortable. And that there’s no way they would be disappointed. Thanks Bonnie!

January, 2016As a birthday surprise for my love; I did a photoshoot with Bonnie of Bonnie Belle Boudoir. I was so nervous and self-conscious going in, but that didn't last long! Bonnie is amazing, she set me right at ease, we laughed, we joked, we collaborated and the end result was...to me...shocking! I had no idea I could be so beautiful, sensual, sexy and confident! Thank you Bonnie, not only for helping me gift my husband the most beautiful photographs and video (for those times he works away!), but for helping me to see my own beauty. I thought I would never show anyone but him, but honestly, they are so tasteful and pretty, I would (and have) shown girlfriends who I hope will do this too. What a boost for a gal's self-esteem!!! Thank you Bonnie Belle Boudoir, you rock!!!

I can not express how grateful I am to Bonnie whose expertise and eye for detail completely captured the essence of the evening, incredible photo's that I will cherish forever.

December, 2015I really did enjoy the experience.... it felt like I was a movie star in my own movie for a day! I felt very comfortable throughout the afternoon of the shoot, and more relaxed as the day progressed. It was easy to collaborate with you on the fly to get the best shots in areas of my home you had not seen before. The number of really great photos you were able to provide me was unprecedented--I have never seen so many from one afternoon. The photos have done me a great service--both improving how I see myself, and now, how I can show others of what I have become. I feel great about them! I really like the philosophical point on your website, that underscores that pictures show that we have lived, really lived.
~Dr. Mark Fromberg
October, 2016I had an amazing experience with a true professional, this New Year has been a challenging one for sure and I needed something to help with my self esteem and wanted to do something for me, this was by far the best decision I have made, Bonnie even said I resemble Raquel Welsh. Try the black outfit for curvy women!!
~ Debra Terry
May, 2017A wonderful experience. Bonnie is a real professional. She spent a few minutes getting to know me ans was able to capture me in a photo that upon posting in my social media receive over 30 compliments. I will gladly recommend Bonnie to all my business as well as personal relationships. I now consider her a friend. Thanks a million Bonnie
~ Roy Kunicky
October 2016I just reviewed a full photo album that Bonne Belle did for Kelownas largest fundraiser "Swinging With The Stars" and Bonnie's work is bordering on brilliant! The colours and clarity are simply amazing. I would highly recommend her for any photography job!

April, 2016The mermaid shoot was a fantastic experience. It was so cool to fulfill that fantasy that I feel like so many girls grow up having if they've ever seen The Little Mermaid! The photos were absolutely stunning; it made me feel like I was the star in my very own grown-up Disney movie! I will 100% do it again if I was ever given the offer. It was so amazing and I had the most wonderful time.
~ Amanda Niicole
May 2016Oh Bonnie, what a great gift that was to give my husband!!! David was absolutely thrilled and so happy that I did the photos for him! He's going to take his time and choose which one he would like to have enlarged for our bedroom. The video just took the whole thing, right over the top!!! Thank you so much for taking such beautiful pictures of me!!!
