More often than not, clients email us telling us they've been wanting to do a session for such a long time and they've FINALLY decided to gather up the courage and book a shoot! Boy does that make us happy! Every one of our clients have come to us a tad (or a lot!) nervous, and trust me, I GET IT!! I mean, c'mon, it's to be expected. Stripping down in front of someone is hard enough, but to do it when that someone has a CAMERA? In your face?? Yeah, again, it's to be expected that you'll be nervous. But don't let those nerves stop you, let them guide you to excitement and adventure! Just like Miss A did! She'd wanted a shoot. But she waited ... and waited. Finally, she realized that she wasn't going to regret doing the shoot ... she'd regret NOT doing it! So she finally emailed us. Bravo, Miss A for getting out of your comfort zone and letting your nerves guide you, not stop you!

Miss K stole our hearts right from the get go with her first email to us:

I have been dying to do this for a long time but haven't felt brave enough for it yet. I've recently come to a point in my life where I'm learning to fall in love with myself again and not depend on the approval or love of any man. I've always been tagged as the "good girl" or "so sweet" girl. It's true that I have a good heart and care for others but I'm more than that. I'm a woman who feels sexy and has the same desires and needs as any other woman. At times I feel that I'm not supposed to feel this way or be desirable because it's not appropriate but I'm only denying myself. I feel sexy sometimes and would be honored to have it captured.

That right there is why we do what we do and why we LOVE it!

She wasn't going to let anyone (including herself!) make her feel bad about wanting to feel desirable. Nor should she. She was doing it for HERSELF, to uplift her soul. Boudoir isn't just about sexy photos. It's about proving to yourself that you are more than just a mom, a wife, a housekeeper, a shuttle service , or a {insert whatever label you want here}. It's proving to yourself that you are a confident, amazing, gorgeous, feminine, bad-ass and sexy WOMAN period! The first step is always the hardest. But once you take that first step, you'll quickly realize how the rest of you, just, ... follows. Life is short, go ahead and take that leap!

Miss K was phenomenal in front of my lens! She made my job so unbelievably easy. Thank you for bringing your A game, Miss K, and thank you for bringing those stunning red bottom shoes and the killer fishnet gloves and stockings! Just see for yourself...
