They can be very simple, extremely difficult or anywhere in between.
You would think that repairs would generally be easier than installing a new roof – well sometimes they are – but often they can be very tricky indeed. Most are temporary in nature but they can be done properly.
The first step in fixing a leak is to find out exactly what is causing the leak. Finding this can sometimes take longer than doing the actual repair! Basically, if the roofing contractor is not totally sure he found the cause – he probably didn’t and any work that was done was done in vain. Coastside Roofing has developed an exact process for finding and fixing leaks which is being turned into a manual for homeowners and contractors.
Finding the exact cause of the leak cannot be understated in importance. But doing the repairs properly is also very important. Non-standard repairs such as waterproofing materials or loads of sealant on metal roofs is a bad idea and can often end up making the problem worse or create a new problem. Sealants have their place, but the average roof repair man or handyman will tend to go overboard so it is important to get someone who knows what they are doing.

Yay! We're excited to see you here!
Join the Kitten Club for monthly boudoir photoshoots with professional hair and makeup, stunning digital files, and exclusive sets designed just for members. Each session features unique themes, with our team making you feel confident and beautiful. Watch Cat's video to see the magic of the Kitten Club!
What If You Could Come In For A Photoshoot EVERY . SINGLE . MONTH!?!
Raise your hand if you've felt this!
I can't tell you how often I've heard women around here say this. The photo shoot itself makes you feel so ALIVE and free! This time is just what you need to escape the world, appreciate your body, get in touch with your sexual side, and bring to life the ultimate version of you!
BUT... it's so dang expensive to do that.
There is the session fee $490, then the cost of the photos, and we both know you're going to love them ALL (or at least way more than you thought you would!) On average, women spend $3600 on their boudoir photoshoot here, and they do so happily and come back for more, because they know that it's worth the cost. It would feel impossible to do this every month.
Until today...
I've come up with a way to be able to offer an affordable way to keep the confidence going ALL YEAR LONG!
What Is The AEB Kitten Club?
The Kitten Club at Alter Ego Boudoir is not just a membership, it's your path to self-discovery, empowerment, and lasting self-esteem.
Imagine stepping in front of the camera each month and feeling a wave of euphoria as you see your unique beauty captured in stunning photos. The Kitten Club helps you build consistent confidence, reinforcing those powerful feelings throughout the year.
As you become more comfortable with your body and in front of the camera, you'll find that those whispers of self-doubt are silenced more quickly.
In those moments when self-doubt creeps in, the Kitten Club is your sanctuary. Here, you learn to quiet those negative thoughts and replace them with self-love and acceptance. Each photoshoot is a reminder of your strength and beauty, helping you to embrace who you are with open arms.
Self-expression is a powerful tool for building self-esteem. Through the Kitten Club, you'll explore and celebrate your true self, expressing your individuality with confidence and pride. This journey of self-discovery is vital for women who are struggling to define themselves and find their true identity.
Many women are searching for who they truly are. The Kitten Club is here to guide you on that journey, helping you uncover your inner strength and beauty. Our mission is to empower you to define yourself on your own terms, celebrating every step of the way.
But the Kitten Club isn't just about capturing beautiful photos, it's about unlocking your personal creativity and expressing yourself in new and exciting ways. Each photoshoot is an opportunity to explore different facets of your personality, embracing your alter ego and bringing your inner artist to life. Through the lens of boudoir photography, you have the freedom to express your unique vision, whether you're channeling a sultry vixen, a whimsical dreamer, or a bold and fearless warrior.
Our sessions are a collaborative effort where your ideas and creativity take center stage. Work with our professional team to bring your concepts to life, from styling and makeup to poses and themes. This collaboration not only enhances your creative skills but also deepens your connection with your true self.
Tapping into your personal creativity can reignite passions you may have forgotten or never fully explored. The Kitten Club encourages you to step outside your comfort zone, try new things, and discover what truly excites you. This journey of creative self-expression can lead to profound personal growth and fulfillment.
As you tap into your personal creativity, you'll notice a boost in your confidence. Each creative decision you make, every new idea you explore, and every photoshoot you complete adds to your sense of accomplishment and self-worth. This growing confidence spills over into other areas of your life, empowering you to take on new challenges with boldness and grace.
The best part about it all is you get to surround yourself with a community of like-minded women who support and celebrate your uniqueness. Together, we soar higher and faster, lifting each other up and inspiring confidence in one another. The power of this supportive network cannot be overstated. It's a sisterhood that believes in you and your journey.
Say yes to the Kitten Club and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and creative expression. You are worth it, and we can't wait to celebrate every step of your journey with you.

A Vibe for Every
Version of You
Each month, our Kitten Club brings a brand-new vibe...playful, powerful, or just plain unforgettable.

We’ll get sultry with Burlesque Kitten, cozy and undone with Barely Bound, and even set sail for Drift with Me, a dreamy boat shoot on the water.

Watch Maria's testimonial to discover how our sessions focus on self-expression and inner beauty, rather than just sexiness. She shares how the experience shifted from taking sexy photos for others to celebrating herself.
"It was a lot more of an opportunity to be expressive with your creativity rather than just focusing on sexiness. It was being beautiful in yourself."
- Maria
CHECK OUT WHAT WE'VE DONE IN PREVIOUS YEARS
Oasis
(Custom Built Waterfall)
I built a waterfall in our studio parking lot! It was WILD & FUN!
Giddy Up
Hay bales, barn doors, and a gorgeous horse. But let’s be honest... the real power came from the women who showed up and owned it. Boots on. Confidence up. A little country, a whole lot of yes.
Bring Your Wheels
Some girls have some fancy cars! I mean, I LOVE my Jeep, so why not take some photos with it!
We did this the first year too. That year I rented a smoking hot car!
Pole Party
This was a liberating experience for everyone. It was about shedding layers and inhibitions to reveal a sensual and intimate side. We created a safe space where the girls could embrace beauty and femininity without any insecurities, and letting that inner stripper out!!!
Into The Woods
I love fall! It's my favorite season!
I love being outdoors too.
There are so many things we can do outside. Some girls did fall fun, and others got their spooky on.
I think we could do this every year and get new things every year too!
Smoke Bombs!
Boom!
I'll leave it there.
Boud-Noir
This mysterious theme was truly a mystery.
What was envisioned in my head came to life, while although the gals couldn't see what I was thinking, and if I'm being honest this month I was struggling expressing what I could see with words, it all came together so wonderfully!
Old Hollywood Glam meets Projector
I'll never forget one of the girl's testimonies to me after this shoot and how it was this one that truly made her feel and see the confidence that has grown within her over the time we were together <3
Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part."
– Aimee Mullins
Ringing In The New Year
As we rang in the new year last year, our "Ringing In The New Year" boudoir theme brought a burst of excitement and celebration. Incorporating festive props like party hats, champagne glasses, and confetti, it was a playful and vibrant experience. This theme allowed us to let loose and showcase the kitten's adventurous side while still highlighting natural beauty and sensuality. Whether cute and bubbly or bold and daring, it was an unforgettable celebration of individuality and style.
Santa Baby
Last year, the "Santa Baby" theme added a playful twist to our Kitten's boudoir session. With festive props like Santa hats and candy canes, it was a spirited celebration of the holiday season. This theme allowed everyone to embrace the sensual side in a fun atmosphere, creating unforgettable memories.
Kitchen & Bath Field Trip!
Field Trip!!!
I rented an AirBNB home, locally, and we had some fun taking photos there! It was an exciting opportunity to showcase sensuality in unexpected places like the kitchen and bathroom. From posing on the kitchen counter to chilling on the shower floor, every moment was a playful exploration of everyday spaces.
Glo Angel
The Glo Angel set is an example of how, even with the best intentions, things don't always go the way I plan them. I made 3 attempts on creating some Glo-Wings! The final set was decent, but not as amazing as this backdrop I found and we used this one too.
It's just a reminder to me to keep trying and know when to throw in the towel and shift to something just as great, but BETTER!
Masquerade
We turned the studio into a sultry masquerade dream. Dark drapes, rich textures, and masks that held a thousand secrets. Every woman who stepped into this set brought a bold mix of elegance and edge. The vibe? Playful, powerful, and just the right amount of danger. This wasn’t just dress-up... it was a whole transformation.
Vinyl
Rock and roll was our "Vinyl" boudoir theme from last year! A thrilling journey into retro vibes, embracing boldness and confidence. It felt like stepping into an 80s or 90s music video.
We all really had a blast, transported back into time!
Blacklight Boudoir
Bright, Bold Colors
Body Paint
Glo-in-the-dark stickers and jewlery!
This was really tapping into our creativity!
Goddess
This set was all about tapping into that divine, untouchable energy that lives inside every woman. Some were nervous at first, but once they saw the images? Game over. They saw strength, beauty, power... and couldn’t wait to step back into it.
Sunflowers
We spent the day in a sunflower field, surrounded by golden blooms and bold women. Some slipped off their shirts, others let the sun warm their shoulders, but every single one of them showed up in her own power. It was soft, it was wild, it was free. There’s something magical about standing in a field of sunshine and realizing... you belong there, too.
Decades
As part of our decade themed shoot, each woman got to choose the era that spoke to her soul. And a few went bold, stepping into the elegance, drama, and raw beauty of the Renaissance. Corsets, curves, and a whole lot of regal energy. It was all about stepping into a version of themselves that felt powerful, artful, and completely unforgettable.
Bodyscapes
Our bodyscapes shoot was all about form, light, and the quiet power of being seen. Nudity wasn’t required, but by the time this moment rolled around, every woman felt safe, grounded, and ready. What unfolded was pure art: shadow, shape, softness, and strength. Just bodies as they are. Beautiful. Honest. Enough.
May The Fourth Be With You
We celebrated Star Wars Day with a shoot that was fierce, fearless, and full of galactic glow. With a lightsaber in hand and that signature Alter Ego energy, she stepped into the spotlight like she ruled the universe. These women didn’t just show up, they owned their power like true rebels.
KC-IV
Upcoming Themes
This year’s themes are next-level. We’re talking bold, sultry, dreamy, and everything in between. Whether you’re feeling soft and sunkissed or fierce and fiery, there’s a shoot that will speak to your alter ego. Each month is a chance to explore a new side of yourself, play with different vibes, and capture something unforgettable. This isn’t just about photos—it’s about experiences, transformation, and unapologetic self-expression. Here's a peek at what’s in store…

Kelly
“I have LOVED the people I have met and the self-esteem boost that comes with this. Do it, you will find it is so empowering!!!"
Katy
“I have loved getting to know other women, the opportunity to express myself with the photos and honestly dress up and have fun! IT IS AMAZING! And honestly, I know it looks like a little bit of an investment, but break it down by day? Think about the investment you make in other things and this is something that is a journey that you can look back on and enjoy for a lifetime and meet new people along the way and learn about yourself.”
Maria
“I have loved the empowerment that this group gives. Being around amazing strong women and encouraging each other. Just DO IT! I try to talk my friends into it all the time. It's an amazing experience.”
Tiffany
“I have loved the different picture ideas and getting to meet the other ladies and connect. I was so nervous but I loved every minute of this."
"While self-care can conjure up thoughts of bubble baths and spa days, what it is really about is putting our well-being first by evaluating and taking care of ourselves."
