We all have different reasons for wanting to book a boudoir shoot. I love hearing my clients’ stories. Here are what some of my clients have written when asked “why do you want to book a shoot?” Click the down arrow to expand each story.

  • I have struggled with loving my face and body for years. Ultimately, leading me to avoid photos at all cost. I would love to have an empowering experience where I feel beautiful and not worried about my appearance. I want to also get out of my comfort zone a bit and feel sexy rather than shy and hidden.

  • I have always struggled with body dysmorphia. Having had weightloss surgery almost 2 years ago now, I have developed a new found love and appreciate for my body and all the hard work has done for me over the past 26 years! Since "entering" this new body, I have sometimes struggled to feel sexy or beautiful, so I would love to see myself through someone else's lense for a change.

  • Im turning 40. I havent been in a committed relationship in about 10 years and I DESPISE online dating and the whole way people even date these days. I truly want to meet someone organically and after being independent for so long I want a confidence boost and pick me up to enter a new decade allowing myself to feel comfortable being vulnerable and open again. The past decade I would describe as a phoenix rising from the ashes. This decade i get to soar. (about to get personal here but....) I am a survivor of a "quietly" abusive relationship that truly did a number on my mental state (and physical at times) for quite some time. I have spent the last decade rebuilding, healing, overcoming, succeeding, gaining so much wisdom, and producing a life that i am so very proud of and grateful for and i did it all on my own with no support. I have a life I never thought possible once upon a time. Pre-dark times I was confident, I loved my body, I loved looking and feeling beautiful, my confidence SHINED in photos. I loved being in photos, even the "shitty" ones i loved. I was so emotionally and mentally torn down by someone who's words stuck in my head for so long "your beauty is gone, your body is gone, nobody is going to want you, youll have no one after me, your nothing, etc...." Its unlike anything I ever knew could possibly exist in my world. Ive worked through all of this trauma for years and this shoot is the "cherry on top" of all my hard work. Im so close to being the "me" from before from a confidence standpoint (of course we change as we get older and that a whole other issue LOL)and this is just the last little nudge to myself.

  • I've recently been on an intense exercise/fitness regimen and have never looked better! I'd like to take this opportunity to showcase that and do something for me as a treat of all my hard work.

  • Honestly... starting a new chapter in my life. I had a baby in Feb 2020 two weeks before covid lockdown. I had gained 65 lbs during my pregnancy and I never felt so uncomfortable in my skin after giving birth. I also went through a divorce, which is the second best thing that happened to me aside from my daughter being born. I got my body back (to a certain degree lol), dealt with a lot, fully healed from all of my trauma, and have come full circle in life. I'm extremely proud of the woman I am right now. This would be the icing on the cake!

  • I wanted to do something to celebrate myself and a milestone birthday and step outside of my comfort zone. This is something so unlike me or anything I’ve ever done. Excited and nervous at the same time!

  • I have struggled with loving my face and body for years. Ultimately, leading me to avoid photos at all cost. I would love to have an empowering experience where I feel beautiful and not worried about my appearance. I want to also get out of my comfort zone a bit and feel sexy rather than shy and hidden.

  • I have always wanted to do Boudoir photos, but with much reflection, I realized it was with the wrong intention. I always had the thought of doing them for a partner/husband, etc...so instead of waiting for the "right person or right time," I decided I AM the RIGHT person and THIS is the right time. I am gifting this to myself for my 35th birthday. This is a period of time in my life that I am truly healing my body image issues and experiencing self-love. I have been in better shape in the past, but I have never loved my body the way I do now. I have always thought about sex/intimacy as a natural, beautiful and necessary part of life. However, as I heal from an abusive relationship of 6 years where I was "a fat piece of shit," every other day, what I would like to get out of this experience is empowerment, take my power back from people who never accepted me for me, bring back or anew sense of confidence as I enter my mid 30s, help me to get out of my comfort zone and let me alter ego come out and play a little ;)

    As I enter my mid 30s, I hope that my outer goddess meets and embodies my inner sex goddess.

  • I’ve struggled with my body image for years and I’m learning to love my body as I grow and gain weight.

    I was always told to cover myself and haven’t been able to express my sexuality because it was seen as bad and disgusting.

    In the new year and as I’m getting older, I want to feel sexy for me and empowered in who I am.

  • I always struggled with my body imagine since a young age. On my second day of sophomore year high school , I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This diagnosis totally rocked my world and especially shattered the vision of myself. I have devices that keep me alive attached to my body 24/7 and hated photos of myself. Through my late teens and 20s, I was afraid of judgement, being touched and seeing myself as beautiful. My relationship with food kept me yo-yo dieting and always +/- 10lbs. I felt like

    I was always hiding from the camera, the mirror and my real self.

    Last year was a truly transformative year for me! I started to release a ton of judgment of myself and learned to love my body. I want to remind myself how beautiful I am , even with a chronic illness, I can be sexy with medical devices!

  • I had just gone through a rough patch with my marriage which prompted me to go on a journey of self-love and acceptance. I had also lost a significant amount of weight and am learning to love my body again.

  • I have followed your page for awhile and last fall I was planning to do it before my February 2023 wedding. Unfortunately planning a wedding, working full time, and going into the holiday season is a lot of work and I ran out of time. So instead I am going to do this as my 1 year anniversary gift for "paper"

    Also just in general I have always been interested and hoping to start a family soon so I wanted some pictures now pre babies.

  • I’ve seen it on social media before, and I never realized how truly empowering the experience can be. I really want to unlock more self love from myself, since I have been going to therapy and the gym. I’ve gotta a lot better and happier with myself, but I truly want to love myself and my body!

  • Did it once when I was younger and really enjoyed it. Some things have changed since then - I cut my hair off, got a boob job, started working out and lifting heavier so I feel more toned. And photography has come a long way since then. So I decided to do an updated shoot.

    I also love taking sexy selfies for my husband, but struggle with my facial expressions - I always look scared and awkward instead of sexy and sultry. I always end up cutting my head out of the pics!

  • I know my husband would absolutely love to have these pictures as he loves a good visual of me feeling sexy.

    I also have wanted to do this for a while as a way to capture how i look physically at this point in my life. I have been through many surgeries that definitely had an impact on how sexy i feel as a woman. I think having this experience will help me feel even more confident and happy in my own skin and thankful for my healthy body as opposed to being critical of all the imperfections.

  • I never thought I’d feel better about my body after having children, and although I think I looked better before, I feel better now! Knowing that my body created two beautiful lives empowers me. I’d love to have the opportunity to have an expert help me express that in photos.

  • Lately I’ve been struggling with my own sense of self confidence and overall love for who I am physically and mentally. I’ve always valued photos because they bring me back to a moment in time where I felt good and wished I could’ve frozen time that very second along with the positive feelings that accompanied it. I’ve heard about the incredible experiences women have during and after a boudoir shoot. I want to have that same experience. I want to be able to look back at those photos and feel the exact confidence and strength I felt during the photoshoot. My fiancé is the best when I have moments of self doubt or lack confidence. I want gift him an album as a wedding gift to show him how much he’s helped me grow and how much I appreciate everything he’s done for me. There’s also something vulnerable yet very empowering about a boudoir shoot and I want to be able to experience that.

  • Growing up while public school i was bullied relentlessly. It only got worse in high school. No matter what I did the bullies wouldn’t stop. It got to the point where it was suggested that I get placed in a different school. Me, the victim being told that I should go to a different school. After years of bullying that really was the straw that broke the camel’s back as they say. As if I wasn’t already feeling rejected by my peers but my school was trying to get me to leave. How is that supposed to make a 16 yr old teen feel? Absolutely horrible and not worth protecting and not valued as a student or a a human being. Eventually after graduating the bullying stopped but then the college I went to right after graduation turned there back on me as well. I was assault by a guy I was dating on campus and the school didn’t fully back me up and blamed me partially for the assault that night. Again another blow to my self confidence. Here I am almost 35 in the fitness industry not only helping my students gain self confidence and self worth but helping myself at the same time with them. Every time the try tell me how much they enjoyed my class or tell me that my class helped them forget about their own personal struggles helps me regain my confidence back one piece at a time.

    I always put my students first even when I’m sick and injured because I feel

    A personal responsibility to be there for them like my teachers and administrators should have been for be all those years ago, because who knows exactly what they are feeling or felt. Maybe one of them was me or is feeling how I felt all all those years now. If I’m not there for them then who will be?

  • I have always struggled with the idea that i wasn’t pretty or beautiful because of my stomach. it’s always been a pain to me even though i know i am beautiful, but i still struggle with photos of me in bikinis. i also want to get more confident in less clothes. i feel like having a boudoir shoot would extremely help my confidence since i am a visual person. if i see it, then i would really feel more confident and beautiful in my body. i struggle so much even being intimate. i really want to unlock that part of me and truly become what i can be as a woman.

  • A few months ago, my long term monogamous relationship ended, and I’m working hard to figure out the sexuality and dating style that works for me now. Earlier in the year, prior to the breakup, I was brutally assaulted and have been working to rebuild my relationship with my body, sensuality, sexuality, and touch. I believe this shoot will help me in regaining power over my body and feel confident and powerful in it being perceived.

  • I rarely treat myself & this is something I’ve wanted to do for myself for the longest time. Seeing all the beautiful women on your Instagram no matter the color, shape & size…gave me the courage to ‘maybe’ reach out this year. This promotion was a sign & I just went for it!

    I want to feel what it’s like being in front of the camera in my most vulnerable state. I lacked confidence in my body for the longest time & I want to overcome that with this experience.
