Why Boudoir?

Well, why not! My whole life I’ve struggled with body image issues and as I grew older and became more aware of society’s standards I grew to hate myself and the body I had been given. It has always been a journey of different diets and workout plans, but not a journey of any internal change. I saw that Samantha had started doing boudoir photography and was looking for boudie ambassadors. I thought “why not?” so I applied, and was chosen! I was really excited for this experience, but also terrified. Terrified of showing off my body and all of the imperfections that I saw daily in the mirror. I was also terrified of others seeing the pictures and the judgement that would come with that. Those feelings changed after my first shoot. Throughout the shoot Sam did nothing but encourage and support me while posing me in the most flattering and elegant ways. She showed me pictures of myself that were so gorgeous that I struggled believing it was me. She helped open my eyes to see a different version of myself which has caused me to appreciate my body, flaws and all. Whenever I see pictures that Sam has taken it causes such a surge of confidence and for me to truly appreciate myself which means the world to me. I highly recommend a boudoir shoot to anyone and everyone!
