Having Samantha in the studio was an absolute pleasure! I am so obsessed with how her gallery came out. Read a Q&A with Samantha about her session & view images below!

Q: What was your motivation for booking a boudoir session?

I'm always the person behind the camera; every holiday; birthday; family event. I'm the one to make sure to capture all the amazing moments. One day I was going through my photos and realized I spend some much energy and effort in taking everyone else's picture I had none of myself in these moments.  I've been following Bare Souls boudoir for a long time;  seeing all the amazing photos of such beautiful confident women, reading about their experiences and how some wish they did it sooner; I decided I deserved to see myself in such a beautiful way; to see myself in photos for once, that I deserved to have something to look at and go damn girl you are Fire!! ; and knowing my husband would also go absolutely crazy over them was motivation all in itself.

Q: What made you choose Bare Soul Boudoir?

Jess of course!  I think it takes a lot of courage for a woman to put herself in such a vulnerable position, it doesn't matter how confident you are in yourself; in your body; to put yourself on display in front of a stranger is a little nerve wrecking... except it wasn't ! if the follow Bare Soul Boudoir on social media you can see very quickly that person behind the camera; the fabulous lady who has this intense passion for what she does and what she is so good at, the time and detail she puts into making sure every aspect of the experience is covered; is written out in so much detail; you can quickly see it's not just a job; is a passion;  a calling. Who else could someone want to have by their side for such a unique experience!

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

I wasn't nervous at all before my session. until I parked at the studio; then I realized I was about to walk into something I've never done before and thought I was going to make a complete fool of myself. The second I sat down in the makeup chair and started chatting; I completely forgot I was nervous at all; the vibe in the room; the atmosphere was so warm; so welcoming that I quickly realized that I was in good hands.

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

Before my session; a large part of me had this strange assumption that these photos that were going to be taken would look like all the other ones i have of myself; I don't care much to have my photo taken and tend to not like how I look in them more times than not and I think I was scared to get my hopes up that somehow these photos would look incredible. Well they were absolutely incredible; so classy; so sexy; I felt like such a bad bitch, like damn I could look that good! watch out world I was on fire the rest of that day 

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

My jaw dropped; I couldn't stop looking at myself; it was a little hard to believe it was me in these photos, I see myself in the mirror every day and even though I am confident in myself/my body; there are always things I see and not like so much; well seeing these photos made me look in the mirror in a whole new light. I felt so sexy; so beautiful, confidence through the roof 

Q: How do you feel weeks after your session?

Gorgeous! How could I not? It's really me in these photos?? it's still hard to believe that I can look at something that I think is so hot and it's me!! Mind blowing really . 

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

Just do it ! There is really no downside; do it for yourself and you'll fall in love with the beautiful lady in the photos; do it for a special someone and watch their face light up ! If you need a confidence boost; or just a pick me up and be pampered; there are so many Pros to doing a boudoir session and I can't think of one con. So the odds are pretty in your favour that you will absolutely love it.
