An interview with Ms.M about her outdoor “West Coast Boudoir” portrait session…………
Why did you want to do a Boudoir photo session? What did you hope to get from it?
“A gift for my husband but a boost of confidence was also the reason.”
What were you most worried/scared about before doing your session?
“I am not in the best shape so showing off my body is always a worry.“
What was your favorite part about the experience? What was helpful? What did you love?
“Favourite part of it all was the instruction and eye for detail in lighting and posing.“
What were your favorite features about yourself to see?
“My eyes…“
What were your favorite images from your shoot?
“I have to say, the beach ones. Especially being in the water. Wish I could laid in it longer as now I have more ideas of what I would have liked to have done. But it was freaking cold! Ha ha ha!“
What would you tell your friends about your photoshoot?
“It was an amazing experience. You made me feel at ease after a few shots.“
How did you feel after you left your session? Did you feel any differently about your body or self confidence?
“I am not one to show off my body. I cry when I put my jeans on, curse when I see cellulite, rolls and wrinkles doing this shoot made me realize that I earned it all. Laugh lines that I got from years spent with good people, rolls from drinks and dinners with friends and family. We see ourselves differently in our mirrors at home. We pick apart every detail instead of embracing the parts that make us beautiful to those who know us. So Re I thank you for showing me that I am beautiful.“
