~ Testimonials for Sugar Creative Sessions from our fabulous clients! ~
I cannot imagine a better way to spend a milestone birthday, bachelorette party or stagette than sipping champagne, getting sexy and dolled up surrounded by your best girlie pals. Melanie made the day so much fun, keeping the shoot professional and fast paced while allowing us the time to relax, mingle and giggle. I could not be happier with the finished product – the re-touched photos are stunning. I will definitely be scheduling another Sugar Creative shoot for my 30th birthday! | Jessica
After booking my Boudoir shoot, I couldn’t help but feel like I was keeping a sexy little secret. As a surprise for my boyfriend, this provocative photo shoot allowed me to explore my own beauty, push my comfort level and turn fantasy into reality. Nervous at first, Melanie instantly made me comfortable and at ease – she offered champagne(!), a robe and private changing area. She was extremely professional, and used her creative vision to put together some tasteful, yet seductive outfits. She provided great direction during the shoot and encouraged me to share and explore my own ideas as well. Needless to say, my boyfriend was beyond surprised – he couldn’t believe this was his girlfriend staring back at him in the photos. And I must admit, neither could I. | Tamara
I was treated to a pin-up photoshoot by my wonderful bridesmaids. It was such a fun surprise! I loved spending the ultra girly time with my best friends, and it was an added bonus that we had our hair and makeup done for the night ahead. Melanie is an excellent photographer, who was professional and made us feel very comfortable. All of us were thrilled with our pictures. It was definitely a unique and memorable experience! | Alissa
I was thrilled to experience Sugar Creative. Not only is Melanie a pleasure and very professional, she was able to make me feel comfortable in front of a camera, and in my underwear! Her creative eye and team of stylists made me feel like a million dollars. A truly extraordinary day, and we walked away with fantastic images to remember it by. Thanks again for all your work. | Tammy
What a fantastic experience and one I feel every woman should have! Equally nervous and excited, Melanie was the perfect photographer to make me feel comfortable and help bring my ‘boudoir vision’ to life. I couldn’t be happier with my photos. So happy that I’m looking forward to booking a pin-up shoot next! Thank you a million times over Melanie. | Julie

My experience with Melanie and her photography was a great experience. She is very calm, fun and has an unbelievably professional attitude. Melanie makes you feel very at ease and comfortable during the photo shoot. Her creativity and effort for that perfect picture really shows in the final product. I really enjoyed my experience with Melanie and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for that perfect photo, for whatever style you are looking for. | Desiree
Melanie’s passion for life and beauty really comes through in her photos! They are enchanting and never cease to amaze me. Her ideas, colours, lighting and composition come together so effortlessly in her photos and charm anyone who sets eyes on them. I have had the pleasure of being photographed by Melanie on a couple of photo shoots. I felt very comfortable, confident and empowered! The pictures turned out amazing and I have recommended Melanie to other friends… I would not hesitate to hire her or recommend her to anyone. | Jennifer
Working with Melanie was amazing. She is very professional and fun all at the same time! I felt completely comfortable stripping down to my knickers and posing for her. The bubbly she provided definitely helped! I would definitely recommend Sugar Creative to any ladies looking to feel sexy for a day. It will end up lasting a life time! | Courtney
I had the most amazing experience during my photo shoot with Melanie. Prior to my boudoir session, I had never taken any photos like this. I went to the shoot excited but nervous. I was promptly greeted by Melanie who made me feel very comfortable. The makeup artist, Cloe, got right to work and didn’t stop till I felt absolutely glamourous. Melanie put me at ease with her friendly conversation, great attitude and expert tips. She made me feel beautiful and confident and knew just what would work. The pictures turned out absolutely incredible. While they were a present for my boyfriend (who told me that he now expects these photos every year, they were such a hit!) the experience was also a gift to myself and a memory that I look back on fondly. I highly recommend Melanie and Sugar Creative. Her professionalism, creativity and passion for what she does, guarantees high quality results. | Nikki
Melanie made me feel comfortable and at ease in a situation that was a little out my comfort zone. I enjoyed the experience, am glad I have such beautiful pictures to last a lifetime, and would do it again!! | Janice
The burlesque photo shoot was amazing. I really liked the atmosphere, and how you helped me to find the right poses. The pictures are exceptionally beautiful, I feel like I’m on the cover of a magazine when I look at them. | Kristina
Doing a pin-up photo shoot with Melanie at Sugar Creative was probably one of the highlights of 2010 for me. I joined 4 of my close friends at the studio and we were transformed into glamorous pin-up models by Melanie’s “glam squad” of hair and makeup artists. She helped us to choose our outfits from the cases of goodies we brought along and made us feel so comfortable during our individual and group photo shoots. It thrills me to look at these photos and see how well Melanie captured our individual beauty and that I’ll have these pictures forever. She proved to me that you don’t have to be a model to feel beautiful. :) | Christina
My experience with Melanie and her photography has been overwhelmingly positive. She has a calm, competent attitude that she brings to her photo shoots and carries through to the finished product. During the shoot, her friendly personality helps her subjects to feel at ease and to trust in her capable hands. Melanie works hard at creating just the right shot and puts a lot of effort into perfecting the photograph. While her photos showcase her considerable artistic and creative talents, her professional demeanour suggests a strong business sense. I would not hesitate to hire her, or to recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful and original shots. | Josie
I want to express how much I loved working with Melanie. I had a fantastic time on the shoot with her and she was able to give me exactly the type of pictures I was looking for. I was very impressed with how organized and professional she was with every aspect of the shoot, before we started, during and after we were done. I felt very comfortable during every part of the process. Her wonderful photography and talent took 10 years off my age! She works magic. I would not hesitate to hire Melanie, or to recommend her to anyone who is thinking of hiring a photographer for a personal photo shoot of any type. Thanks again Melanie! | Teresa
Melanie and Stephanie made Bring Your Sass! Burlesque Night a fun and amazing night for everyone. The photo shoot was fun, and I loved the makeup and hairstyling portion as well. I was having trouble downloading the photos when they were ready, and Melanie went above and beyond by coming out to meet me and provide a disc with the photos. Amazing job, Melanie! | Min
Melanie did a fantastic job of making our entire group feel comfortable and attractive throughout the photo shoot – even though some of us had never done anything like it before, her photos turned out beautifully and highlighted the parts of ourselves we liked best. Melanie was very flexible and accommodating, capturing candid moments of our special day and was very kind in sharing these extras as well. Thanks again Melanie for such a memorable and fun experience, I would recommend this to everyone! | Flora
