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?
To feel empowered, and comfortable in my own skin. It’s a gift for myself to look back on when I need a reminder of who I am since I get so down on myself all through out my life. I’m interested in doing a boudoir shoot now because I’m a mom of two and I sometimes don’t have the time to do things that make me feel beautiful
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’m a very vulnerable person, sensitive, reserved, but I’m kind friendly. I have always had low self esteem because growing up iwas constantly told I’m ugly. Then after my weight fluctuating throughout life I felt unworthy of being told I was pretty because I gained so much weight. I have two little ones they keep me at balance . I literally can’t imagine life without them. I value family that’s really important to me. i love pop culture and my favorite celebrity is Beyonce.

Where to shop was most helpful. Because honestly prior to doing the shoot I didn’t wear lingerie but now I want to buy more.

I was a little nervous but mostly excited.
