love her, but leave her wild. ~ atticus

How old are you?
36

What do you do for a living?
MOMMA (1ST); TEACHER (SHHH)

What made you take the leap of faith and do a boudoir session?
What if I fail? But darling... what if you fly? I find that I am searching for... myself. YOU came along at the perfect time and provided me with an incredible outlet. I saw your previous images and thought... why not?

Did you have any obstacles or fears about the session?
My biggest fears were baring my self. My soul. I don't like to be looked at. After years of struggling with the image in the mirror... how would I feel allowing someone else to view those very flaws?

Did you enjoy your session?
I went home flying high. Hands down, one of the greatest days I've had in such a long time. It was good for mind, body, and soul.

Tell me how you felt about your session?
Speechless...

Was the session different from what you expected it to be?
Warm, welcoming, real, honest... it WAS a perfect day.

How did you like your images?
They are beautiful... I'm a little awe-struck that they are actually of me.

How did you feel when you saw your images?
At first listen (the video), I felt a tugging on my heart strings. I didn't really see MY images, what I saw were YOUR images, "strong, beautiful" ... And, then... there in a photograph was a woman starring back at me. She WAS strong and beautiful. There was something about her-- she was searching, had a confidence about her, and for the first time, in a really LONG time, okay with the image staring back in the mirror. I was choked up... Sitting on that bed, looking to the light... is JUST where I am in life. I am waiting... for sunnier days, to not be so lonely, to own my fierceness. You captured something that I didn't know existed within me. That was me. Strong. Beautiful.

Would you ever do another session?
Yes, Yes, Yes. Soon, I hope.

Do you have any advice for women interested in booking a boudoir session?
Do not hesitate. Do not wait. Do it- FOR YOU.

Did anything change regarding the way you see yourself after the session?
Perhaps, for the first time in a long time, I see what others see... a strength that I didn't know existed.

Any final thoughts on your session or things you'd like me to know?
Thank you :) You filled my bucket; my cups overflows.
