Q: What was your motivation for booking a boudoir session?
My motivation for the shoot had a lot to do with building my self-confidence again. I've always been an advocate for self-love but always contradicted myself when it came to my own body. I struggled with body image post-surgery which left scarring on my abdomen, and post baby with all the extra weight and stretch marks. It was time to fall in love with me again!
Q: What made you choose Bare Soul Boudoir?
I chose Bare Soul Boudoir because of their absolutely stunning work! I loved their vision and the way they captured clients in past work. I also hugely appreciate their requirement for the glam process prior to every session!! It really is the key element to releasing your nerves before you start the shoot.
Q: Were you nervous before your session? What did you do/ remind yourself to over come that?
I was 100% nervous going into things, I was a ball full of anxiety. I just kept reminding myself prior to arrival, that I got this and it will be more than worth it in the end. But also that I truly deserved this!
Q: How did you feel before your session vs after?
Before the session, I was nervous, anxious, and ready to run for the hills. Afterwards, I felt absolutely amazing, one of those I couldn't believe I just did that moments. Even more so because it was one of the most supportive experiences I've had in my life. Jess and Tutti, were there the entire time guiding me through everything and are truly the BEST hype girls ever!
Q: How did you feel seeing your photos for the first time?
I internally screamed in excitement the second I saw one of the first photos! I was also in complete disbelief that it was me for a hot minute. You can really see yourself in a completely different perspective after this experience.
Q: How do you feel weeks after your session?
Jess was like super woman, and I had a super short turn around time, but I can definitely say whole heartedly I will be on cloud nine for several weeks to come! I'm in love with my photos, they're stunning!
Q: What would you say to anyone on the fence about a boudoir session?
I say... JUST DO IT GIRL! Pick yourself up, forget about what YOU think about yourself, forget about your size, your weight, all of the things that flood through your mind when you're struggling to justify this self-love journey. Just go for it! It will 100% change your life for the better in one way or another and provide you with a truly healing experience.
