The Transformation
If I could write a new definition of "Boudior photography" it would involve the word ‘transformation’. It is not only a transformation from the everyday look to a more glam, sensual or playful side of you, but a mental transformation as well. Everyone’s transformation is different, but each woman walks away changed after their boudoir session experience. I see it in every single session. She walks into my space and I can tell she is a little nervous. Once she settles the nerves fade! She let’s go of the control and knows that I won't let her down!
“Is that really me? Oh my gosh”
-virtually every boudoir client
After the session, many report that they feel like they are walking taller once they leave my space. They have accomplished something that scared them, something that made them nervous, something they never thought they would do, but they did it and they were AMAZING! Boudior photography is more than pretty and artistic pictures, it is about allowing yourself the space to transform from feelings of nervousness into accomplishment and confidence.
My evolving story of “why”
Life stories are a compilation of events, moments, people, places and things that we do and have been done to us. I often think of my “why” as this work is so personal both for me and my clients. The reasons I do this work and am feel blessed to be a photographer is because I'm always evolving, but this is a small snippet into my current loudest reason “why.”
. Childhood struggles have helped shape me... So why did I always feel like I had to win the approval of others? I don’t know… but it is there. #workinprogress
I have a new found “why”. Having to re-establish myself and look deep into who I really want to be when I grow up has taught me (and I continue to learn daily) about my deeper “why”. My why is that I believe every woman “deserves to be seen.” I know I don’t need approval from others, I can live fully into who I was created to be.
I have lived where I didn’t feel seen. I didn’t feel that I mattered to the ones who were supposed to love me the best. I have lived days that I felt invisible and used up with nothing left to give. NO more. I know now that I am supposed to spread the message that women deserve to be seen and give them the opportunity to know that they are beautiful, loved and seen.
