That’s Me?!?!

Have you ever thought to do something daring on a whim? My daring whim was booking a session with a boudoir photographer while traveling as a gift for the hubs. As the session date came closer, I started debating with myself whether or not I should go through with the boudoir session on this trip. “Listen, we’re away from home and no one knows you here. Just do it!” he told me. This push gave me the courage to go for it. That’s how I end up doing a boudoir session while traveling.

The day of my session comes around and I began having second thoughts again but then I said to myself, “No! I’m doing it. If they come out terrible, I don’t have to buy them.” It was more about the experience anyways- doing something outside of my comfort zone and accepting myself in every aspect.

The way I was raised, a woman’s body was covered up and don’t bring any attention to it. I was mostly disassociated from my body in terms of beauty and liking how I look. I was complimented on my beauty in college and them when I met my hubs, but I didn’t really think anything of it because I never saw myself as a beauty magnet, I just went about my life.

Welllll, let me tell you! When I was seeing my images after the shoot, I could not believe my eyes! When maybe you don’t feel so confident in your skin and then are asked to hold a weird feeling pose, you don’t expect the images to come out looking good. You expect them to look as awkward as you feel in the pose. NOT THE CASE!!!

I couldn’t believe the gorgeous beauty I saw in the images. That was the first time I saw myself as a sexy, bomba** beauty. I asked my photographer many times, “Is that really me?!?! That’s what I look like?” I saw myself through new eyes that day. Now, it didn’t fix all of my insecurities or disassociation immediately. But over time, I was able to grow into appreciating my own beauty.

I though long and hard over my experience and as I was photographing other people and families, I wanted to bring that other aspect into my photography. I wanted to change women’s perspectives of themselves and help capture their inner goddess. It took a while for this dream to fester into a reality where I can now offer women who are where I was, the same life-altering experience through the Love My Body Boudoir sessions.

I can’t wait to capture your true beauty for you!
