✨Meet the new maternity package✨⁠ ⁠ With so many questions about maternity boudoir and if I offer it or not, (which I always have!!) I wanted to create a specific package catered to this special time in a mama to be's journey. 🤰🏼🩷⁠ ⁠ This package is the same cost as my regular in studio package although the set design is a little more simple to allow the beautiful bump to be the main focus of these images. ⁠ ⁠ It includes one set design that's customized to your preferences. These are 3 examples of the type of sets we can create/put together for your session. I've got loads of different colour and textured backdrops we can play with, tons of different greenery and florals as well but that being said the posibilities are really endless. Want to incorporate a more vintage vibe? barbie pink? butterflies? plants? disco balls? all white? something darker? Something more boho? YOU. GOT. IT. Upon booking we will discuss and create a mood board to bring your session to life. 🥲⁠ ⁠ These type of simple backdrop sessions can of course be booked as non maternity as well if you feel it's more your vibe that a standard in studio session! 👀⁠ ⁠ Head over to the sessions + details page on my website for the full package details & pricing! 🤩 (Save 15% on remaining 2024 and january 2025 dates now until Oct 4th!)

TODAY'S THE DAAAAAAAAY 🥳✨ Our birthday sale starts today and runs until October 4th! 🥂⁠ ⁠ Save 15% on: ⁠ 🖤 Remaining 2024 session dates (In studio, outdoor, maternity, bridal & birthday)⁠ 🖤 January 2025 session dates (In studio, maternity, bridal & birthday)⁠ 🖤 Product Collections (For new bookings & clients who have already had their sessions)⁠ 🖤 Studio Session Add-On's (Honey, Wet Set, Neon Wet Set, B-day Add On)⁠ 🖤 Photography Mentor Calls ⁠ ⁠ If you've been on the fence- NOW IS YOUR TIME GF.

⚡️WEBSITE UPATES ARE LIVE⚡️ For year 5 I felt it was time to go in a give the Bare Soul site a little refresh AND make the ease of access to session info like pricing, packages and example photos a little easier for you babes to browse 🖥️ (a mindful, detail oriented queen over here 😉) The most important updates: The session details & pricing page!! ✨ You can now view ALL types of boudoir sessions that I offer all on one easy to navigate page OR sort by specific session type that you’re after!! This includes: 🖤 In studio (including bonus set add ons) 🖤 Maternity + Maternity Portraits 🖤 Bridal 🖤 Outdoor 🖤 Birthday 🖤 Creative As well as all product collection pricing ✨ 👀 IM ALSO NOW OFFERING MENTORING FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS!!! This has been something that’s been so highly requested over the years but even more so in the last few months. You can now book 1 on 1 mentor calls either 1 call or a 3 pack of calls with a discount 🤩 These are open to photographers in any niche as ya girls knowledge applies across niches. (If you’re a business owner from another niche, still feel free to reach out- I can more than likely help you out as well & would be stoked to do so!!!!) After shooting for more than 10 years now- I’m SOOO stoked to finally be offering this. Booking into November + December for calls!🫶🏼 And the last update you’ll notice through out the site is just some aesthetic changes. It’s no secret that the lens I see and create through when it comes to boudoir is that of creating art. Turning my clients into art. My approach to boudoir isn’t necessarily about a sexual gaze or a more erotic style being at the forefront. It’s a softer more creative approach focused on soul healing (hence the name Bare SOUL boudoir 😉) and I felt it was time to infuse that into my branding in a more prominent way. You’ll notice a lot of the photos are now in ornate frames- signifying that YOU ARE THE ART PIECE. 🥲 The valuable, beautiful, intricate art piece. 🫶🏼 Head over to the link on my page and check out all the new changes👀🫶🏼 AAAAND don’t forget the session sale starts TOMORRRRROW- what type of session do you have your eye on???👀👀👀👀

5 FREAKING YEARS. WOW. 🤯⁠ ⁠ 5 years ago when I decided to separate my boudoir work from all the other shoots I was booking at the time, I had absolutely NO idea that it would turn into the brand and the community that it has today. That 11 months later I would ditch all other niche's of photography and less than a year after that that I would leave retail jobs behind forever ✨🥺🫶🏼 ⁠ ⁠ All the hard work, all the blood, sweat and tears, the hard conversations, the endless hours staring at a computer screen, the constant fight against social platforms censorship, the hours of practice + trail & error- was (and still is) so well worth it. There truly is no sense of pride like building something that has the ability to impact and change so many lives from the ground up. ⁠ ⁠ It sure isn't all sunshine and rainbows all the time but I really wouldn't change any of this for the world. Huge shout out to all the clients who've put their trust in me throughout the years, to my incredible team who helps me bring this experience to life, to anyone who's followed along whether you've been here for years, are new or found me somewhere in between. And most importantly HUUUUUUUGE shout out to my man for always being here to support me- whether it be last minute kijiji pick-ups, uhaul rentals, hauling heavy shit, dealing with my breakdowns and constant wacky ideas. I couldn't do any of this without you 🥺⁠ ⁠ Cheers to many more years of Bare Soul, This is only the beginning 👀✨🫶🏼

In a world riddled with pressures to fit into a mould, to have perfect skin, to be a certain weight, have a certain bra size.... ✨ BOUDOIR SERVES AS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR ✨⁠ ⁠ From the moment you step into my studio, it's ALL ABOUT YOU. Exactly as you are. We aren't gunna cake you in makeup to cover up who you are- we're gunna enhance the beauty that's already there. I am going to help you choose outfits that you FEEL good in, outfits that make you feel like the baddest bitch there ever was 🤪 You'll leave feeling like a brand new woman, you'll notice a shift in your self worth before even receiving your gallery. THEN YOU RECEIVE THOSE IMAGES AND OOOO BABY! Those icky intrusive thoughts that used to invade your mind telling you that your stretch marks or cellulite or belly size made you unworthy, BYEEEEE 👋🏻 ⁠ ⁠ Every time you look at those images you'll be reminded that all the things that you used to consider "flaws" are all things that are part of your story! ❤️⁠

Anyone else feel like they blinked and summer was over? 💔 BUTTTT good news... I’ve got something cooking to celebrate new years this year 👀✨🪩 Get your booty on the email list!!

✨TIPS FOR FEELING YOUR MOST CONFIDENT✨⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Do things outside of your comfort zone & things that scare you. The amount of pride you will feel in yourself is next level. You did the damn thing & that will feel so good!!⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Take care of your mental health above all else. It is so incredibly important.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Only maintain relationships/friendships with people that make you feel GOOD & up lift you. Your energy is a precious resource. Don’t waste it on those that bring you down.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable, beautiful & confident. Clothes were made to fit your body not the other way around. Size up to feel comfortable, the number on the tag doesn’t matter. ⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Completely avoid using beauty filters that change your appearance and/or manipulating your body or face with photo editing. Relying on these to feel beautiful won’t make you feel more confident in the long run and perpetuate the narrative in your head that you need these to feel beautiful.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Unfollow/Block/Mute people that make you feel like shit in any way shape or form. Social media is not that deep, there’s nothing wrong with curating a happy space on your accounts and removing anyone who doesn’t align with that. Be mindful of what you’re consuming. ⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Stop shit talking yourself!!!!!⁠ Your brain & subconscious hear you & your inner dialouge matters more than you realize. Working on changing your thought patterns will make the world of a difference.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 Move your body. Find ways to move that you enjoy—whether it’s yoga, walking, running, lifting etc. Movement releases endorphins and connects you to your body, helping you feel strong and grounded.⁠ ⁠ 🦋 AAAAAAND.. Book the boudoir shoot 😉❤️ We're here to help you feel like your best self✨

One of the most common questions I get about sessions is.. "Do I have to share my images online?" The answer- Absolutely not!! What (if anything) gets shared is COMPLETELY up to you and there's never any insensitive or pressure to share!!🖤⁠ ⁠ You have 4 options when it comes to your photos: ⁠ 💫 Full release - Any/all photos can be shared⁠ 💫 Partial release- Only photos you approve/select can be shared⁠ 💫 Anonymous release- Only photos that conceal your identity can be shared⁠ 💫 No release- Photos stay on my hard drive for no ones eyes but mine & yours ⁠ ⁠ A contract is signed by both of us with your chosen option if you do choose to release any images. Client privacy is of the upmost importance over here! 😘

"I absolutely loved the entire experience! Jess (photographer) made me feel so comfortable and confident, which translated to some pretty amazing photos if I do say so myself lol⁠ This service is perfect for any woman who isn't comfortable doing hair and makeup, since it is all provided! The selection of outfits was very impressive and so beautiful, it wasn't hard finding 2 that were perfect. She gave such amazing guidance and instruction, and was able to capture the best version of myself ❤️⁠ I was also extremely impressed with the products she had available, one being a 30 photo book, which she designs herself, that completely went above and beyond my expectations. I had the option to edit placement of photos if I wanted, but I absolutely loved what she designed. I would 100% recommend this photography session" ⁠ ⁠ -Past Client Google Review

This isn’t the last of these you’ll be seeing, we got what looks like 4 different shoots into this session but each portion needs its own moment 😏👀🏈 This summer has been so much fun getting out of the studio WAY more & pushing my creative boundaries. Shooting in new locations, with different setting & lighting scenarios push me to evolve & grow as an artist so you’ll always catch me trying new things✨🙌🏼 I finally just now feel I’m coming out of a MASSIVE burn out (likely from the 🦠 years lololol my fellow biz owners knowwwww) and a huge part of that has been limiting my in studio sessions & doing more that lights my creative soul on fire and acting on my random spurts of inspiration as it comes❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Don’t get me wrong I will always love a good studio session HOWEVER it has been so so nice to spend most of my shoots over the past month and a bit out of the studio and changing it up🙌🏼 Shout out to my incredible clients for always being down for whatever I throw at them 🥹🫶🏼 💄: @tuniimakeup

If there’s one thing that will NEVER go down at my sessions, it’s my clients being left without guidance or me telling you to “look sexy and pose”🤨🤨 BYEEEE, NOPE NOT HEREEEE👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 When you’re booking with me you’re getting a boudoir EXPERT. I’ve shot thousands of women at this point & delivered 10s of thousands of images, having offered exclusively boudoir for the last 4 years.

The sunrise in black and white just hits different 🥲🖤 I originally wasn't going to add any b&w images to this gallery since the whole point of a sunrise is those dreamy colours HOWEVER once I threw one in just to see- the MOODINESS?!?! I was DECEASED 😍 This year was my first time doing a sunrise session cause let's be real WHO wants to wake up at 4am 🙃 While I am utterly OBSESSED with the results, this night owl likely won't offer many of these in the future so ENJOY THIS MAGIC ✨😂🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ Imagine my struggle trying to pick only 10 images for this post 🙃 More from this jaw dropping session will be up on the blog soon 📷

Allow me introduce myself... HIIIIII I'm Jess- Your confidence fairy god mother & boudoir expert 📷✨🖤⁠ ⁠ I've spent the last 5 years specializing in exclusively boudoir, hence.. boudoir.. expert 😉 Back in late 2020 I ditched all other forms of photography & dove head first into boudoir ONLY. I've worked with thousands of women from all walks of life, delivered tens of thousands of images & got the honour to hear so many moving stories from my incredible clients. ⁠ ⁠ If I've learned one thing over the last 5 years it's that there's only a very rare case that I have a client who isn't absolutely sh**ing their pants prior to coming into my studio... But guess what.. You can do hard things.. 😉🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ "I'm not confident enough for that" ⁠ "My post baby body doesn't deserve to be in front of the camera"⁠ "I HATE photos of myself"⁠ "I'm SO awkward in front of the camera"⁠ "I need to lose ___ pounds first"⁠ ⁠ These are all SUPER common objections I hear when it comes to booking a boudoir experience & let me tell you, I know you can definitely find a million & one excuses NOT to do the dang thing. BUT the absolute awe that my clients end up in leaving the studio & then all over again when seeing their final gallery, is nothing short of MAGICAL. ⁠ ⁠ Those objections turn to:⁠ ⁠ "I'm so proud of myself"⁠ "Holy sh*t, I can't believe I conquered my fears"⁠ "I take more risks & challenge myself more in life now"⁠ "I can finally see the beauty that's been there all along"⁠ "I'm absolutely stunning exactly as I am"⁠ "My scars aren't flaws"⁠ ⁠ If this kind of transformation is something you're missing in your life, reach out- let's make magic ✨🖤

TOMORRRROOOOWW… I’m dropping some no hair/no makeup/no client closet beach sessions in Port Stanley for various dates! 🌞💧 I’m only offering a total of 6, so make sure you get your butt on the email list (dm for the link or find it in my bio!🫶🏼) **photos in this post are not from port but you get the vibe😉 The way I see it, beach sessions are the perfect “come as you are” type of session & a perfect session for no glam since you’ll be full of sand and water anyways 🤗 Let’s make some sandy magic 🌊👙⛱️🫶🏼

Baby blue has been one of my FAVE colours to shoot lately & has been a popular choice in the client closet 😍👀

"I have wanted to do a shoot forever but could never find a photographer that I felt would be a good fit, until I came across Jess from Bare Soul Boudoir. She is easily the most comforting, friendly, sincere person I have met and will be your biggest HYPE girl. When she says you’ll be besties by the end of your session, she means it. I don’t know how she makes every single person feel so incredibly comfortable while posing and shooting but she is just THAT good. Not to mention her beyond beautiful studio and her amazing hair/makeup team! Aside from her being the best person to photograph you, the photos she sends back to you will leave you speechless!! I had to do several double takes to make sure that it was really me in the photos. I have had 2 sessions with her in the past 3 months and will continue to book with Jess! If you’re thinking about doing a boudoir shoot, Jess should be your girl, you will not regret it!!"⁠ - Past Client Google Review 🥺🫶🏼 ⁠ ⁠ Read through our over 170 google reviews if you're wanted to hear from babes from all walks of life about their experiences! Shoot me a dm for the link or google "Bare Soul Boudoir"

Did a little furniture rearranging at the studio to hold me over until I find the perfect new pieces to change things up ✨😍

The confidence & growth that comes from boudoir can so easily seep into so many aspects of your life... ⁠ It allows you to believe in yourself, it shows you that you can do hard/scary/uncomfy things, it lifts the veil of self doubt.. ⁠ ⁠ I shared a post from my Facebook group last week in my story (with permission of course) that really show cased how much this babe had grown since her first session with me: ⁠ ⁠ "Last weekend I went well out of my comfort zone! I attended my friends daughters baptism!! She offered to let me bring someone but I went alone. I had so much anxiety about feeling out of place and knowing no one. It was such a great day and I actually had a great time with great food. I’m so glad I went despite my insecurity of going alone. ⁠ Jess you have been a huge part of me regaining my independence and branching out. I will be forever grateful for all the experiences 🥹and the many more to come"⁠ ⁠ THAT right there is the tangible effects of booking one of these experiences. I've said it before and I'll never stop saying it, this is so much more than "just a photoshoot" & I'm honoured to go on your self growth journey with you. 🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ Pssssttt... If you're not in my private ladies only Facebook group yet, shoot me a message and I'll send you the link. We've built such an incredibly supportive community over there & I'm just so proud of our little safe space on the internet. 🫶🏼✨🖤

it's giving..... ✨romance✨

🪽✨️

River sessions will forever have my heart 🌳✨️🌅

The dangerous thing about getting your photos done... is it becomes addicting 😉🤭⁠ ⁠ When you put your trust in a professional at their craft, someone who you vibe with, someone who knows how to make their clients comfortable in front of the camera- you end up addicted I'm tellin ya 😝⁠ ⁠ That being said, huge shout out to all the babes who come back to see me time & time again. I love watching you grow and evolve as a person & watching your confidence get greater & greater with every shoot. Your continued trust means the absolute world to me 🥲😍

Whether you're...⁠ 🖤 Looking to find confidence ⁠ 🖤 Getting married⁠ 🖤 Celebrating divorce⁠ 🖤 Celebrating a healthy love⁠ 🖤 Celebrating leaving a toxic relationship⁠ 🖤 Taking back your power⁠ 🖤 Capturing a moment in time⁠ 🖤 Looking to do something that scares you for the sake of growth⁠ 🖤 Wanting to treat yourself to a day of pampering⁠ 🖤 Going through a hard time⁠ 🖤 Learning to accept a new body due to weight gain, weight loss, having children, having surgery etc⁠ ⁠ Boudoir is such a powerful experience & healer. I'm truly in awe at the amount of different stories I get to hear. Having photographed thousands of women at this point in my career, I'll never get tired of learning about how boudoir played a part in my clients journeys. (And am forever honoured to be a small part of that journey!)

A black & white birthday 🎂 🖤 ⁠ ⁠ A BRAND NEW birthday specific package in the works for the babes who wanna go all out celebrating another year around the sun.. Stay tuned & get yo booty on the email list 💌🥳

I've said it before & I'll say it again- A bridal boudie sesh serves as WAY more than just a gift for your boo 💍⁠ ⁠ Most babes that come in for their sessions aren't super comfortable or used to having their photo taken, especially professionally with big scary cameras in their faces. ⁠ ⁠ SO I'd argue that doing a bridal boudie sesh not only gives you an incredible gift for your partner AND a massive confidence boost before the big day BUT also serves as a trial run. A way to shake off some of those camera nerves, because if you can do a shoot with an (almost) stranger pretty much naked...... your wedding photos will feel like a BREEZE! ⁠😉 ⁠ ⁠ Plus you won't be questioning how BOMB you look in those photos & will be able to be a little more in the moment, a little less in your head about the photos on your big day! 🥰⁠ ⁠ If you're thinking about a bridal boudie sesh you need 8-10 weeks minimum between session date and the date you need products IN HAND for! (If you're just wanting digital images, you need 4 weeks minimum) ⁠ ⁠ AAAAAND I've got a brand new bridal package releasing so soon...💍👀

Only a few hours till pool mini's launch!!!😍 Email will be going out at 2pm, run don't walk to the email list!!!

"I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience with Jess. Not only is she exceptional at what she does, you can tell she loves it and that energy is so fun to be around. I felt comfortable and safe every step of the way - which goes a long way when you are in front of a stranger in your underwear.⁠ I feel so powerful and beautiful after my session and I can’t suggest a shoot with Jess more"⁠ - Past Client Google Review 🥹

Celebrating the incredible gift of creating life with a photo shoot is so special 🥺 I've had a huge amount of DM's lately asking if I do maternity sessions & I absolutely do!!! ⁠ I offer both boudoir maternity & portrait maternity sessions if gettin nakey (or almost nakey) isn't your thing!! ⁠ ⁠ Summer is such a perfect time to do your maternity shoot outdoors with all the beauty of nature 😍 (But we can also totally do in studio if that's more your vibe!) ⁠ ⁠ **The only maternity sessions I DON'T offer are those with children or significant other's/other family involved

HIII it's meeeeeeee, just here to remind you that taking time for you, saying no to what doesn't serve you, putting your phone on do not disturb, doing what's best for you & protecting your peace ISN'T SELFISH!!!! 🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ SO often we get caught up in the hustle of everyday that we forget to take time to have slow, intentional moments. Something I'm definitely guilty of. ⁠ ⁠ Earlier this year I made a commitment to myself to slow tf down this year, to be more intentional with my time, to stop allowing every waking second to spent in/on my business. I'm convinced I'm still recovering from covid chaos burn out & therefore I'm not putting pressure on myself to fill every slot of open space in my calendar. For me that looks like taking on fewer clients this summer, creating just to create & spending every possible second outside with my bare feet in the grass- playing with my girls 🐶 & working on my gardens/ making my backyard the absolute oasis I've always dreamed of. 🖤⁠ ⁠ What does slowing down/taking care of your mental health look like to you?

More birthday magic for your Tuesday ✨🎂🍾🥳

I've said it before & I'll say it again, I will NEVER get tired of birthday boudie sessions ✨️🎈🎂

Ready for a new chapter? One where you realize your self worth, take back your power & grow to love the woman staring back at you in the mirror?✨🫶🏼

We're here to show you how to kick your negative self talk to the freaking curb. I'm here to show you that the (false) beauty standards you've been conditioned to believe are the furthest thing from the truth. ⁠ ⁠ YOU ARE POWERFUL.⁠ ⁠ YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.⁠ ⁠ YOU ARE WORTHY.⁠ ⁠ YOU ARE STRONG.⁠ ⁠ Standing at the bottom of the self acceptance mountain looking up is DAUNTING- I get it. But TOGETHER we're going to make that climb. ⁠ ⁠ So strap in.......... Get ready for a complete mental transformation, a transformation where you now realize your worth. You realize that your outer appearance is irrelevant. Where you wake up everyday & appreciate your one & only permanent home; your body!

In case you missed it I made a place on the internet to post any portrait/branding stuff I take on @portraitsbybaresoul ✨🫶🏼 Boudoir still is and always will be my main focus but I've been having fun doing some branding stuff for some friends + family so figured I'd open it up to others as well & create a place to post some of that work 🤪⁠ (availability for these is limited & I’ll still be selective with what I take on🫶🏼) ⁠ Boudoir not your thing but still want a lil confidence boost? You can now book solo portrait sessions as well! All the info is linked in the highlights over on that page or also linked in the bio!❤️

👉🏻 Our bodies move.⁠ 👉🏻 Our skin folds.⁠ 👉🏻 We jiggle.⁠ 👉🏻 We have fat cells. (Cellulite- EVERYONE HAS FAT CELLS!) ⁠ 👉🏻 Stretch marks happen when our body grows. (Or grows a human! 🤯) ⁠ -⁠ But I'm here to help you stop focusing on all of these things & start focusing on the beautiful soul INSIDE your body, not the physical vessel that houses it. Because let me tell ya, at the end of the day, when you're old & grey (heheh I make rhymes now) I PROMISE you, you're not gunna be thinking ⁠ -⁠ "Damn I should've worn clothes that pleased others" ⁠ You'll be thinking: "I'm GLAD I wore what made ME FEEL GOOD."⁠ -⁠ You won't be thinking: "AHHHH I should've lost 10 pounds"⁠ You'll be thinking: "WHO'S THAT HOTTIE"⁠ -⁠ It's so much easier said then done, It's so much easier to look back 20 years ago & think "How did I think I was anything but perfect?" Trust me, I get that! But that's why I'm here. That's why I devote all my time and energy to SHOWING you how worth you are- AS YOU ARE. To kick start you on your journey to self acceptance! 👏🏼💪🏼❤️⁠

when I tell you I'm just ITCHINGGGGGG to get back to outdoor sessions 😩😩😩🌿✨🦋🌸 Who's coming to join me this summer?!🤭

Behind the scenes shoot with me🪽✨🫶🏼

I'll never get tired of celebrating birthday's in the studio ✨🥳

Missing frolicking in wild flowers more than ever 🥺🌿🦋✨🌸

HELLLLUUUUURRR!! I'm Jess, Your confidence fairy god mother & boudoir queen 👑✨🖤🫶🏼⁠ ⁠ As an introvert to my core, I always felt I worked best in 1 on 1 sessions. Never got into weddings, didn't overly enjoy shooting families or couples. But working one on one with women? Hyping them up, being their biggest cheerleader and giving them images they can look back on for years to come when they're feeling "blahhh"? That's my shit and it took me from 2014-2019 to learn & fully lean into that ✨⁠ ⁠ I'm a true Capricorn & an enneagram 8w7. Stubborn. Driven. Creative. Honest. Loyal. I'll never turn down an outdoor adventure or spicy foods. You won't find a single item of pink in my closet. I cry at least once a month because dogs lives are too short. (Even though my girls are only 1 & 3 🤣) I've usually got at least 2-3 drinks on the go and those vary depending on my current hyper-fixation 😂 I've had a house plant addiction for years that's slowly expanding into outdoor gardening since buying our first home & finally being able to make whatever changes I can dream up to our outdoor space.🌿 In the summer if it's raining, you'll likely find me curled up in my egg chair under my covered area completely at peace as rain pounds down on the metal roof 💧

THIS IS YOUR REMINDER.....⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 To make sure you're filling YOUR cup before filling others.⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 That it's okay to need time/space away from those that you love. (family, friends) ⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 That it's fine to take a little longer to respond when you just don't have a whole lot of energy to give. ⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 That you are doing AMAZING.⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 That you've made it this far during these WILD times, so you can keep pushing through.⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 That it's okay to feel like your world is falling apart. Tale a deep breath, tomorrow is a new day. ⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 That regardless of the number on the scale or what you see in the mirror you are worthy of happiness. ⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 That your life doesn't exist to please others.⁠ ⁠ ✨👉🏼 To be kind, you never know what someones going through. ⁠

LET'S TALK NERVES!!!⁠ ⁠ First thing I'm gunna say here is that nerves are TOTALLY normal and should 10000% be embraced.⁠ ⁠ You might be nervous because....⁠ 👉🏼 You rarely like to look at yourself with this minimal clothing, let alone having a stranger see you this way.⁠ 👉🏼 You've struggled with body image for years and can't yet see how a photoshoot could change that. ⁠ 👉🏼 You worry about what your friends/family may think of you for booking a boudoir shoot.⁠ 👉🏼 You think that you'll be completely on your own during this experience.⁠ 👉🏼 You imagined a scenario in your head where your photos turn out HORRIBLE.⁠ 👉🏼 This is wayyyy out of your comfort zone.⁠ ⁠ Any of these sound familiar? ⁠ ⁠ In a lot of cases no matter how many times you go over my prep guide, ask me all the questions, read testimonials from past clients or tell yourself that it's just in your head... you will still feel nervous leading up to your session. ⁠ ⁠ Boudoir evokes so many emotions.⁠ 👉🏼 Fear⁠ 👉🏼 Excitement⁠ 👉🏼 Nervousness ⁠ 👉🏼 Anxiety⁠ 👉🏼 Hope⁠ ⁠ But my favourite thing to remind clients while they're riding this rollercoaster of emotions leading up to their date, is that growth doesn't come from comfort zones. A lot of times putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations is something we avoid like the plague. But think about how many times you were nervous to do something, and how FREAKING AWESOME it felt after you handled it like a boss. That "FUCK YA I DID THAT" feeling?? That's exactly what you'll feel leaving the studio ❤️⁠

"Jess and her team were incredibly supportive and empowering through the duration of my session. Jess was so easy to talk to and made you feel right at home during the session. Her outlook on body positivity and empowerment of her clients is so refreshing. 10/10 would book another session with her again in the future. "⁠ ⁠ -Past Client Google Review🥺🫶🏼❤️
