On Episode 8 of What’s The Tea with Sarah E, I sit down with the unapologetically bold and beautifully authentic Melissa Kelly - one of Ontario’s leading boudoir photographers and the creative force behind Melissa Kelly Boudoir.
After working as a lab technician at McMaster Hospital, Melissa made a fearless leap from science to sensuality - turning her side passion for photography into a thriving, full-time business that has now empowered more than 10,000 women to reclaim their confidence, beauty, and power. Her work isn’t about perfection or filters - it’s about truth, transformation, and seeing yourself through a lens of compassion.
In this vulnerable and electric conversation, Melissa opens up about:
From CPR on a stranger to photographing women after mastectomy, Melissa’s story is a masterclass in courage, compassion, and conviction. She reminds us that empowerment isn’t a pose - it’s a practice.
