Ms. A Boudoir Experience | Michigan Boudoir Studio

Ms. A had the most amazing boudoir experience in our Michigan boudoir studio. She is on a self love journey and thought of no better way to celebrate than something for herself.

What is the purpose of your session? Is it a gift for yourself or someone else? What interests you in a boudoir session at this point in your life?

I think this would be a great step in my journey in learning to love myself; including my body, and embrace my differences. I want to feel beautiful, sexy, and brave.

Tell me about yourself. Personality, kids, profession, favorite food and hobbies? What do you value? Absolutely anything you want to share so I can get a sense of who you are, what you like. I want to see you for you and beyond the social media glimse.

I am a social worker, specialize in substance abuse. I have been married for 4 years, but have been with my husband for 12 years. We have two cats. We struggle with knowing if we want children or not. My family lives on the east side and my family is very important to me. I value my time with my family as I am close to my parents and siblings. I am both an introvert and extrovert, I enjoy going out and doing things but then need a day to myself to recoup. Spending time with friends and family makes me happy. 

What is your biggest struggle in life right now?

My lack of confidence causes me to not advocate for myself at times, or speak up to others when I should. I avoid confrontation, and rather sweep things under the rug.

Have you done a session like this before? What was your experience? What did you like? Is there anything you disliked?

I have never don’t a session like this before. 

How do you want these images to feel? How would you like to be photographed overall? Any certain style you love? Feel free to link or send any inspo images if you have them.

I want these images to feel powerful, beautiful, and courageous. I like the idea for one outfit to be ripped up high waisted jeans and a sexy bra.

What is your favorite thing about your body? What is your least favorite? Why?

Favorite: my waist and my collar bones (although I do have a tattoo by my right collar bone that I regret and try to cover up). Least favorite: hips/love handles

What is something that amazes you about your body?  What is something about your SELF that amazes you?

Amazes me about my body: i like my soft skin, long eye lashes and long hair. Amazes me about myself: I am resilent. Any struggle I may have, I continue to get up and keep going.

Where do you tend to hold stress in your body?

Shoulders, back of neck 

What was the last thing you did that made you feel super confident or where you felt full of purpose?

When I am with my parents/family I feel full of purpose and contentment. I feel confident when I take the time to get dressed up.
