Kristy | Bare Soul Boudoir, London Ontario

February 24, 2023

Kristy is a registered veterinary technician, a mom of two, and she just turned 30 last year. In her free time I’m usually reading, writing or playing games.


Q: What Was Your Motivation For Booking A Boudoir Session?

A: Honestly, I have had a lot of self confidence and body image issues and healing through sexual assault in my previous relationship. I was hoping by booking the session after encouragement from a friend, that I would feel more confident, sexy and happy about being in my own skin and be able to see myself the way others might see me. 


Q: What made you choose Bare Soul Boudoir?

A: Her aesthetic, personality, and recommendation from a friend. 


Q: Were you nervous before your session? What did you do/ remind yourself to over come that?

A: I was 1000% nervous - I'm an introvert, I'm terrible at meeting new people, I hate pictures being taken of me, and I'm not one to be glammed up! Jess' prep information really helped prepare for the session - doing the yoga each day definitely helped relax me more too. I also found that reading through “When you’re ready this is how you heal” and working through that helped. Right before the session I played my own “pump up” list to get me feeling good and reminded myself that this was a day for me and whatever the outcome I was stepping outside of my comfort zone and to be proud of myself for that. 


Q: How did you feel before your session vs after?

A: Before I was nervous and excited at the same time. Afterwards, I felt confident and felt amazing leaving. It was so cathartic. 


Q: How did you feel seeing your photos for the first time?

A: I was blown away. "That's me? How is that me?" and then I started crying. It again, was cathartic and it was eye opening to see how others can see me. 


Q: How did you feel leaving the studio before seeing your images?

A: I knew they would come out amazing - even the raw images look amazing. I was beyond excited knowing that they would come back amazing and be soooo difficult to choose from. 


Q: What would you say to anyone on the fence about a boudoir session?

A: Just do it. You aren't getting any younger - there's not going to be a better time, and everyone could use the confidence boost. If you’re even thinking about a session and worried about doing the “full” experience, try the minis! You absolutely will not regret them.
