Client Spotlight: She Just Wanted to Feel Sexy Again

 She told me she booked the session because she just wanted to feel sexy again. After having her son almost three years ago, she said she hadn’t felt that way at all. She felt uncomfortable in her body, not confident, not attractive, just not like herself anymore.

And honestly, I hear that more than people think.

She showed up excited but nervous, which is exactly how it usually goes. You could feel both right away. But the second she walked into the studio, everything shifted. She lit up. Grabbed a mimosa, started looking around, smiling, taking it all in. She kept saying how much she loved the space and how excited she was to get started, and that’s when I knew this was going to be a good one.

We started shooting and she did what so many women do at first, overthinking a little, wondering what to do with her body, questioning if she was doing it right. And then she just let go. She trusted me, let me guide her, and leaned into the process.

There is always a moment where it clicks, and with her it happened when she saw herself.

Not a fully finished gallery. Not a big reveal. Just a quick look at the back of the camera.

She stopped and looked at me and you could see it all over her face. Shock. Like wait… that’s me?

She told me she has never liked her butt. Always something she’s been insecure about. And there she was staring at it on the screen saying it looked "hella sexy." That right there is the shift. That’s the moment everything changes.

From that point on it was different. She moved differently, carried herself differently, laughed more, relaxed more. It stopped feeling like a photoshoot and started feeling like two friends just hanging out, being a little chaotic, having fun. At one point I had her in the wings and I’m literally moving her around however I want and we are both laughing, and those ended up being some of her favorite images.

When she came back to see her photos, she said it was indescribable. She was in shock. Could not believe it was her. And I get it, because the woman she saw in those images is the same woman who walked in, she just hadn’t seen herself that way in a long time.

She told me the biggest thing she took from the experience was learning to trust the photographer and realizing you are sexy even when you don’t think you are. You just have to see yourself in a different light.

That one always sticks with me.

Because nothing about her changed that day. Same body. Same woman. Just a different perspective.

By the end of it, she kept saying how fun it was, how it didn’t feel awkward or forced, just felt like we were being crazy and having a good time the whole session.

And if you’re sitting there feeling nervous about booking, she gets it. She was too. But she also said not to be nervous, that I’ll take care of you and make you feel confident and comfortable the entire time.

She believes every woman should do this at least once because it lets you see yourself in a way you normally never would. It lets you open up, be free, and actually own who you are.

And that’s exactly why I do this - I want to remind as many women as I can... just how badass they are.

Client Spotlight: Reclaiming Confidence, One Frame at a Time

Image
When she first reached out to me, she was at a crossroads in her life—a new chapter beginning. Her children were grown, the house was quieter, and for the first time in a long time, she was asking, “What do I want to do for me?” She told me she had always wanted to do a boudoir session. Not out of vanity—but because she genuinely loved being in front of the camera. This time, though, it felt different. This time, it was about honoring herself. Leading up to her first shoot, she admitted she was super nervous. She described standing in front of the mirror, picking herself apart—like so many of us do—worrying about her “mom bod” and unsure how she’d pose or feel in front of the lens. But that nervousness? It didn’t last long. She said what surprised her most was just how comfortable she felt once we started. “Kadee’s energy is magnetic,” she told me (and yes, I blushed a little when she said it!). “You feel like you’re catching up with a best friend you haven’t seen in years. There...

Client Spotlight: From Terrified to Totally Empowered

 She first saw one of my boudoir session ads and thought to herself, “Hmm… that might be cool.” But like so many women, the nerves kicked in fast. She ended up rescheduling—maybe even once or twice—because she was scared. Not scared of me or the camera, but scared of not feeling “pretty enough.” Scared of not knowing what to wear. Scared that she didn’t fit the “boudoir mold.” She told me, “I’m a simple, plus-size woman. I didn’t own any lingerie or high heels.” And still… she showed up. She leaned into the experience—and that bravery is exactly what made her session so powerful. What surprised her most? “How fast the hour went by,” she said. (I hear this all the time! Time seriously flies when you’re being hyped up and glowing in your element.) She loved how I guided her every step of the way, from posing to energy, and how I gave her little peeks at the back of the camera as we went. Those in-the-moment sneak peeks helped her see what I saw: a bold, confident woman show...

Client Spotlight: From Nervous to Radiant – A Boudoir Session She’ll Never Forget

 Okay y’all… I have to brag on this beautiful soul for a second. She booked her boudoir session as a surprise for her fiancé (they’re getting married in September — eeeek!!), and what started as a fun little gift turned into something way deeper. She told me she was very excited leading up to the session, but like most women, wasn’t totally sure what to expect. I still remember her walking into the studio all bubbly and open-minded — and by the end? She was straight-up glowing She said the biggest surprise was just how relaxed and fun the whole thing felt. Her exact words? “I had an absolute blast.” (Mission: accomplished 😏) During her shoot, she felt sexy, confident, and comfortable — and you could see that shift in her body language the second we started shooting. She came alive in front of the camera! We laughed, we posed, we hyped each other up — and she said her favorite part was just having fun with it all, trying different poses and getting to see herself in this new l...
