When Mary first considered her boudoir session, she felt a mix of excitement and hesitation. Like so many of us, she was proud of the changes she’d made through her weightless journey, but still carried insecurities about the natural marks and features she sometimes saw as flaws. “I was worried that I wouldn’t like seeing these things in my photos,” she admitted. Yet, she pushed through that fear, choosing to honor herself in a new way.
As the day of her session approached, Mary found herself not nervous at all, but surprisingly thrilled. She’d put in the work on her fitness and mental health, and she could feel that inner strength ready to shine. “I knew I had improved areas I was previously insecure about,” she said, her anticipation fueled by the poses and energy that felt perfectly tailored to her. This wasn’t just a photoshoot; it was a celebration of all the growth she’d achieved.
And when she finally saw her photos? The perspective shift was undeniable. Through my lens and with our expertise posing, Mary saw herself in a way that celebrated her beauty and celebrated her new outlook on life. “They really listen to your preferences and things you’d like to highlight or downplay,” Mary shared, noting how every pose was crafted to make her feel empowered and comfortable.
Reflecting on her experience, Mary described how it felt to see herself captured in this new light. “They allowed me a day to feel good in my skin, feel beautiful for only my sake and nobody else’s approval,” she explained. These photos weren’t just about looking good; they were a testament to her journey, proof that she was perfect just as she is now and as she was before.
For anyone on the fence about their own boudoir session, Mary’s advice is simple: “Trust the process! Carrie and Kristen will put you at ease, treat you with dignity, and support you the whole time!” And she couldn’t be more right—boudoir is about letting go, investing in yourself, and stepping into the kind of confidence that stays with you long after the photos are taken.
Mary walked away from her session feeling not only rejuvenated but transformed, with a spark of confidence that can only come from seeing yourself through a lens of compassion and strength. Here’s to Mary and every woman who takes that leap, embracing every perfect imperfection along the way.
