Introduction
To mark her 25th birthday, Milan chose to celebrate in a powerful, meaningful way—with an empowering birthday photoshoot in Winnipeg that honoured her growth, identity, and evolving womanhood. This wasn’t just a boudoir session—it was a declaration of self-love, confidence, and raw authenticity. Captured by a female photographer, this session reflects the female gaze and the journey of a young woman stepping fully into her power.
Behind the Scenes: A Rebirth Into Womanhood
Milan envisioned an intimate, minimalistic boudoir session inspired by Calvin Klein’s timeless aesthetic. Her Pinterest board was full of images that embodied empowerment, softness, and honesty, all of which guided the creative direction of the shoot. This session, held in a cozy Winnipeg photography studio, marked her first-ever boudoir experience.
“This year was all about rebirthing myself,” Milan said.
“I’m figuring things out and learning to embrace the beautiful mess.”
Her wardrobe choices reflected this: from baggy jeans paired with a classic white tank, to delicate lace bras and a striking topless shot—each look represented a different layer of her journey. Her long extensions and beach waves added a carefree, sensual touch.

During the session, Milan fully embraced her body and energy. She moved freely, guiding her own poses with ease, embodying the essence of women’s empowerment through photography. There was no pressure to perform—just space to be.
