Miss R’s session was all of the things boudoir photographers dream of… she had perfect outfits, a great attitude, she was flexible! I had so much fun working with her, and after reading her answers to the questions below…I think she might have enjoyed it too ;) Read what she has to say here:

1. What motivated you to do a session?
I kept seeing all these beautiful girls who were confident and glowing in their own skin. I wanted that. I wanted to do this to do this as an act of self care and to help me see myself in a different light. I have never felt like I knew how to feel sexy or comfortable in my own skin. What motivated me was finally convincing myself that I don't need to change to embrace myself with all of the love I always give everyone else.

2. Are these photos for you, or a gift for someone?
I am giving these photos as a gift. It will be an anniversary gift to my husband. He still has no idea I had the photos taken! But the session was definitely for me.

3. Before your session, what were you most nervous about?
I was nervous about being vulnerable or judged. Being in lingerie is a very intimate and vulnerable experience but Kristin was fantastic about encouraging me and cheering me on the whole way!

4. What was your favorite part of the experience?
My favorite part of the experience was getting all dolled up and getting pampered. I rarely do my makeup and I even more rarely do my hair, more than the occasional straighten iron. Having my hair and makeup done and wearing lingerie was just a great way to spend the day!!

5. Where did you shop for your outfits?
I found my outfits on Hips & Curves and Yandy.com. My accessories, like shoes and stockings and I found on Amazon.

6. After the shoot how did you feel?
After my shoot, I felt amazing. I was and still am so happy that I went through with having my shoot. I feel like it rejuvenated my soul and confidence.

7. What was your initial reaction to your images?
I was amazed. I cannot believe those were me. I honestly didnt know I would be so happy with my initial images!

8. Did anything change about how you see yourself?
I see myself as more of a woman. I think about some of the raw pictures Kristin took of me and think about how I never would've believed that would be me. I see myself as sexy, beautiful, and more confident. There was one picture that stood out to me where I was nude but in that one picture I looked more confident than I ever have in my entire life. I want this one as wall art which I never would have thought I would want that...

9. Now that you've had your session what would you go back and tell yourself to calm your nerves, inspire or empower yourself?
You're not going to regret it. Go in with an open mind and have some fun. It's not every day that you get to go get pampered and have the day for yourself.

10. Any advice for someone who might be considering a shoot?
I waited a long time before I decided to go for it. I wanted to lose some weight before I had my shoot but the woman in the photos I saw afterwards, was gorgeous, sexy, confident, and someone that I want to keep around. After I booked my session, about a month out, everything shut down because of the Covid-19 Pandemic.... to say the least I was anxiously awaiting my shoot..... so long story made short, there will always be something that comes up and something that makes it "not the right time". That's what I did for a long time but my session was more than fantastic!!!
