My name is Vala Grenier.
Well, I'm still not caught up on my editing, so I'm restricting shooting for the next while.
If you want to pay me, you get priority.
If we have already discussed shooting, remind me. I have no memory left.
If you have an ablsolutely killer idea...I may not be able to resist...but be gentle
I'm now doing boudoir/glamour portrait sessions. $250 includes a makeup artist, full use of cosutmes and props, aprox 1 to 2 hours of studio time, full size jpegs of your top 10 images (and any others I particularly like) and 2 print sheets 8.5 by 11 inches. Also discounts on more prints (I can go up to 13x19 inches myself, bigger if we outsource) and photobooks.
I've been shooting professionally since 1989. I do all sorts of portraits, model portfolios etc. I like to play in Photoshop, since I closed my darkroom. Lately I've been playing with rim lighting and people emerging from darkness. I'm fond of black and white and the sabattier effect (see Manray).
I will do nude and erotica. I don't drive, so I prefer people to come to my studio. I have a garden that is suitable for (discrete) photography in warm seasons.
I'm still doing selected TFCD/P if you have an interesting look/concept.
I'm shooting stock now, so preference will be given (for tfp/cd) to models willing to sign an istock model release. Don't worry, I'll only submit images you have approved for that usage. My stock portfolio is at

My rates for paying customers are (still) very reasonable. I charge $75 to $200 for a shoot. Think $100 per hour/~10 edited images on CD/1 print. This includes full use of costumes/props/jewelry etc. Extra for makeup/hair people.
My website is
www.bluemagicphotography.ca. I have a Blue Magic Photography page on Facebook. My email address is vala@bluemagicphotography.ca
I have a portfolio on
http://www.istockphoto.com/valagrenier , a link that does not always work. Some of the images in this portfolio are available there, esp some of the lovely Madelaine.
I am allergic to fragrances, so if you come to my studio, PLEASE do not wear perfume or heavily scented products.
If you are allergic to cats let me know in advance. I keep the felines out of the studio (unless they volunteer to be props), but we do have 4, so I may need to do a bit of extra cleaning:)
