Ms. S

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?y

Gift to myself and husband (he just gets to benefit it)! My life and body have changed so much over the years and I need to remember who I am!

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 the most introverted extrovert there is. I’m bubbly and positive. I have two kids one girl and one boy. I’m a stay at home mom. Hobbies keeping the kids alive and crafting when I get time. I value honesty, trust and loyalty. I believe in being yourself and learning to love that person no matter the changes.

What is your biggest struggle in life right now?

My poor body went through the wringer with my last pregnancy and I’m learning to love my body and scars again. Health issues and giving myself grace.

How do you want these images to feel? How would you like to be photographed overall? Any certain style you love?

I want to feel beautiful and sexy and confident.

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

I have nice legs , butt and chest. My eyes and smile! My stomach is my least favorite because I’m still loosing weight from my last pregnancy.

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

How resilient it is! How I housed two miracles. How loving and giving I am despite the awful things I’ve been through.

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

I’m not sure! Full of purpose my kids but something for myself I can’t think of anything.

The Boudoir Experience

Use 3 words to describe your experience with Brea Oakes Photography

Amazing, exciting and fun

What was your favorite part of the session?

Hair and makeup but also loved the one on one with Brea

Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different?

It was absolutely what I expected and what was explained to me.

What was the best part of your overall experience so far? Would you change anything?

Getting the photos back. I absolutely would change to get more digital photos back instead of the book. I have to hide the book from the kiddos and I would love to have more photos. It was hard deciding. You made them look amazing. Still happy I got the book.

What did you think when you saw your images for the first time?

I was overwhelmed with excitement!

Did you find my self love tips and exercise emails helpful? Anything that stuck out to you?

Yes I did! I did all the tricks and mediation on really was nice!

Did you find my session preparation helpful? Anything that stuck out to you or helped you the most?

Yes it was. I wish I knew about the bank. I would have put money in there. Money is trigger for me especially when I spend it on myself.

How nervous were you before you shoot? How did you feel after?

Very nervous before and relaxed after.

If you said yes to blogging and sharing your images, is there anything you would like me to include in the blog about your story or journey to inspire others?

I did this for me and trying to love my body after kids

Do you have any final thoughts, feedback or anything else you’d like to share?

What a wonderful experience that I WILL be doing again. When I feel more comfortable in my body after children. Husband tells me everyday that that he is in awe and the photos take his breath away. I wish I would just have ordered a bunch of digitals I could have looked at when I need a boost! Brea you are amazing and I can’t wait to work together again!
