Beth’s Boudoir Photography Experience

How Did You Find Me?

I went on Google and searched #BoudoirShootsNearMe and then I followed you on Facebook for a little while.

Why Me?  There are a lot of Boudoir Photographers, but what made you pick me?

It was really just the authenticity of your boudoir photos.  They were just the people, there wasn’t a lot of extras added on and that’s what I was looking for was the real me in a picture.  So when I saw some of your boudoir shoots I thought “This is a true person and they just looked beautiful”.  And it wasn’t pushy!  Working with you throughout the whole thing was amazing and I felt wonderful going through the whole process of figuring out if this is what I wanted to do and you made me very comfortable from the beginning.

We did a lot of communication via text, did you find it was more convenient that way?

Absolutely, for me being busy going everywhere all the time and I knew this is what I wanted so being able to connect with you in between everything I was doing made it so convenient to just use the text messaging and to be able to reply back to you when I had a minute and you could reply back to me, it was super easy.  I also think that a lot of times you can ask more personal questions in a text message and you don’t feel so awkward.

Leading up to your session, do you feel like I helped to calm your nerves?

Absolutely!  You made me feel like I was gonna do this #boudoirphotoshoot and maybe secured in me that I COULD do this. You helped me with my #boudoiroutfits and we worked through the timing and you were so easy going.

How did you feel on the day of your #boudoirshoot

My confidence had to start first thing in the morning! I psyched myself up for this.  I was doing it and there was no backing out.  I came straight from work and I found your location, which was easy to find. I walked through those doors and it was so easy and you were so welcoming, I felt like I had known you forever!  I wasn’t as nervous as I though while driving to Syracuse with sweaty palms, but when I got there and met you in person, I felt like I had known you for a really long time, so I thought “this is gonna be so easy for me to feel comfortable.” You made me feel absolutely amazing!

I didn’t know if my pictures were gonna be as good as the ones on your page but it was phenomenal!

Were you sore?

The next day I remember my shoulders being on fire!  But it made me remember what I had just done and the self-confidence came back as I remembered what I just did.  It was empowering to have every ache and pain!

When you came in for your reveal, did you still have that ride of confidence?

I think I am kinda still walking around confident!  In the two weeks between my #boudoirshoot and my #boudoirreveal I walked around with kinda badass power! Like don’t mess with me, I have this self-esteem and confidence that was just overflowing. It was so powerful and exhilarating.

I was nervous to see my photos, what if they weren’t as good as the sneak peek you showed me?  But what If I love them all? What if every single one of those pictures has a different feeling or a different emotion.  And every single one of the photos was a different view of me in a different view of myself I had never seen before.  Some I wanted to cry!  It was amazing!  Every single one of those pictures was the bomb!  Like how was I gonna pick 12 pictures!!!

You did choose to purchase extra images and some wall art.  How do you like the Acrylics?

I love them!  They are nice and heavy and they just shine!  They hung great and have a little bit of a sparkle.  They are on pointe.  The album is so full of the pictures and it captures everything.  Every page is just smooth and silky.  It sits right on my nightstand!

I look at those pictures and I don’t see my scars or surgeries or the damage to my body I’ve done over the years.  Now I can see those scars and they are beautiful.  You didn’t alter those pictures at all, that’s my own #truebeauty.  That is the one thing I loved about that in all of the #boudoirpictures.
