She made me feel comfortable and respected, and adjusted as needed to fit my comfort level.My photos are like art and have allowed me to look at myself as such and I am so thankful.
I already knew before even working with her that I loved the power I could sense in her photos and how she creates the most beautiful, atmospheric lighting.
My boudoir photos are stunning and I encourage any person who is considering getting them done to take the plunge! We never know what the future will hold and I hope to cherish these photos and my body and everything it has done for me. She made me feel comfortable and respected, and adjusted as needed to fit my comfort level. My photos are like art and have allowed me to look at myself as such and I am so thankful. Even in her printing options and processing, she is so thoughtful in making sure that your photos are safe and processed with care and privacy.
I can’t recommend Lianne enough, and can’t wait for potential future opportunities to arise to work with her!

Boudoir is a
state of mind.
Boudoir Photography is Intimate Portraiture - it means stepping into your power, however that might look.
It’s finally allowing yourself to be seen.
It’s showing up for yourself.
It’s WILDLY EMPOWERING
Hi, I’m Lianne!
I’ve been putting myself in your shoes and in front of my lens for over 15 years and know exactly how vulnerable this moment can feel.
I’ve always been an observer. I love to watch expression and body language. So, I guess years of awkward introversion have led me to creating beautifully vulnerable and emotive portraits, who knew!
I am so passionate about what I do and want to give that amazing, empowering and truly life-giving experience to others!
I am here to guide you, listen to you, reassure you, and to capture you in a way you may not even believe is possible — yet.
Working with me will feel like a breeze. Everyone who steps in front of my lens is treated as an equal, a friend, a collaborator, and - most importantly - a valued human being.
I am focused on connection from our very first interaction, and help you with everything from start to finish. This includes concept design, wardrobe styling, and location scouting to curate everything to achieve the dream session you’ve always wanted and more.
I know, it’s kind of a big deal — maybe even a bit scary!
Let’s be real, we all have that one thing we’re hyper-aware of, something we wish we could hide, soften or just not think about for once.
You aren’t alone in this. I’m right there with you, and I will never brush your feelings aside. We will talk about it, and I will keep it in mind for our whole session so you don’t have to. I have those feelings of my own and know what it’s like to worry something will be exaggerated on camera.
A big part of your session is me sharing the back of my camera as we go so that you can see what I am seeing. You’ll feel yourself relax at this point, I promise!
If you’re afraid of feeling awkward — you’re already my kind of person.
You just want to know you are with someone who truly cares about and remembers the details so you don’t have to stress out.
Truly! I’m awkward on the regular. It’s basically part of the experience at this point, and we usually end up laughing about it within the first five minutes. You never need to perform or know how to pose. I guide everything and usually those awkward moments become the icebreakers that make the session so much fun!
Fearlessly authentic. Wildly empowering. And yes, a little awkward — in the best way.
You don’t have to perform, or even begin to pretend that you know where to put your hands - I’ve got you. I read the room, guide the flow of things, and make sure you know what is happening next. You’re in a safe space. You’re supported. You’re never rushed through anything. That’s the beauty of being in expert hands. I have been in your shoes before and absolutely do not take it lightly!
Lianne made the experience so incredibly SAFE. And as anyone whose body has been a battleground, that feeling cannot be manufactured.

She has such a gift for capturing the real, the raw, and the beautiful with her camera. For the most human moments in your life, Lianne is the one you want looking through the lens.

How do I Pick the Right Photographer For Me?
Boudoir & Intimate Portrait Photography sessions have soared in popularity over the last ten years, so it’s important to make sure you’re considering a few things:
Who you hire truly matters.
Do you connect with their personality, energy, and they way they value their clients?
You’ll be trusting them with your vulnerability… you should actually like and feel safe with them.
Does their work resonate with you?
Pay attention to the mood, consistency, and emotional tone of their images. How does it make you feel?
How and why does their process support you?
Will you be guided and feel taken care of when you’re feeling nervous? Will your images be shared publicly or kept private?
WHAT MOST BOUDOIR & INTIMATE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCES GET WRONG IS THIS:
They rush you for time.
Direct you into poses that feel too generic or overdone.
Sometimes treat your images like content instead of something that is deeply personal.
Working with me looks and feels different.
BARE AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU WANT
I will never ever pressure you to wear something that doesn’t feel like it belongs in your own closet, and yes, that includes lingerie. Remember — Boudoir is a state of mind and not about fitting a certain look. It’s about feeling confident and empowered in the moment and capturing who you are authentically, in whatever feels right on your body.
Looking back on these images years later I want you to see yourself. Every session is a time capsule, honouring the version of yourself that showed up that day.
Lingerie, crop tops, giant sweaters, birthday suits or a mix of everything - all styles are welcome, and encouraged!
EVERY SESSION IS CUSTOMIZED TO FIT WHO YOU ARE
No one-size-fits-all cookie-cutter boudoir experience here. You don’t need to know where to start. From the very beginning, we talk about your comfort level, preferences, and what you hope this experience will feel like. Together, we build a foundation that is so genuine to who you are it makes showing up ready feel as natural as breathing.
On your session day we shoot until it feels complete. There is room to shake off the nerves, settle into the groove, and actually enjoy yourself. With no clock ticking in the back of either of our minds creativity, and conversation, have room to flow with ease.
YOU AND YOUR SESSION ARE SAFE WITH ME
There is never be any pressure to share your images. This is a personal experience, and your comfort and trust are my highest priority. I don’t take your vulnerability lightly.
For some people, sharing a handful or even all of their images becomes part of the empowerment. For others it’s something they choose to keep entirely private. Both are valid. Your boundaries are clearly communicated, documented within my file storage system and your session file, and strictly followed on my part without exception.
You might also take comfort in knowing that I work with an all-female production team for your prints and albums, so your images are handled with the same privacy and respect at every stage.
YOUR BODY TELLS YOUR STORY
Yes, I fully edit your images, and that includes retouching. I smooth skin, remove breakouts, and anything that is not permanent. What I don’t do is remove your features. Freckles, scars, smile lines, the shape of your body — this all stays unless you specifically ask me otherwise.
It’s not my place to make decisions about your body.
There is zero shame in talking to me about your concerns or asking for adjustments (hell - I tuck my own chin sometimes, I get it!). When we sit down together to view your images we’ll talk about editing direction and anything you want me to consider for your final product.
The woman in this featured image was making the choice to embrace her psoriasis, so the spots remain in the final product. This was her choice, and you have one too.

For the first time, I felt like I was seeing the artist I always believed I could be. She captured the inner me that was always there. It was such a beautiful and powerful experience.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Lianne Viau for the past four years, and I can confidently say she is exceptional at what she does.
One moment that stands out to me is the first time I saw myself through her lens. It was honestly emotional. For the first time, I felt like I was seeing the artist I always believed I could be. She captured the inner me that was always there. It was such a beautiful and powerful experience which gave me a new level of confidence. Most importantly it helped me to believe in myself.
Lianne has a rare ability to understand who you are and translate that into imagery. The confidence I’ve gained from working with her has had a lasting impact, and I truly believe that speaks to her skill and dedication.
I highly recommend Lianne to anyone looking for high-quality photography and an experience that goes far beyond just taking pictures.
