An interview with Ms.C on her photoshoot!:
“I wanted to do the session because it is so empowering and ego-boosting. I am in the middle of a ‘lifestyle transformation’ to look and feel better about myself, but doing the shoot with (Re) was just ‘for me’ just because. :)”
“As confident as I can be about myself and being photographed, I must admit that I was very very nervous the morning of thinking “what the hell do I think I’m doing??” to myself. I’m a 50 year old woman whose out of shape, overweight and definitely no model. That didn’t last too long, but the anxiety was there for a bit.”
“My favorite part? Hmm, thats tough. I loved it all!! There’s nothing like being spoiled and having someone do your make up for you to hopefully bring out the best of your features. But I think just the ease and comfort I felt with working with (Re) was the icing on the cake for me. (She is) an amazing photographer for sure, but a great lady and I completely enjoyed myself and felt so at ease during the whole process!”
“After the shoot was over and I was home, I felt exhilarated! There truly is nothing like having someone telling you that you are beautiful, photogenic, and is able to see the beauty that a person sometimes forgets that they possess. I was feeling amazing after we were finished.”
“My favorite image? hmmm, thats a tough one. I honestly cannot pick just one! I love so many of them. I still cannot believe how good you made me look! If I had to try and choose, I’d have to say one of the ones from laying on the bed. Sorry, I just can’t pick one !”
“Favorite feature to see of myself on camera? I’d have to say my eyes. I have always felt that they are my best feature and I love how you were able to really bring out my baby blues. :)”
“I have already told my friends that doing a boudoir shoot is the most wonderful thing a woman who is a mom, a worker, a partner, a “less than perfect body” can do for herself, regardless of what shape they are, or what shape they THINK they are. Every woman has a beauty somewhere inside and doing a shoot like this brings out that beauty. I may become addicted to the high of it! lol” ~ Ms. C.
Thank you so much Ms.C for gracing my studio and showing us how you shine! ~ Re Bastien
Wow!! I still cannot believe that this is actually me! What Re does is bring out that inner beauty that we as women ALL have but forget that we have, and showcases it in the most amazing ways. I am so happy with my images and hope that I can help to inspire someone else who feels that they aren’t “perfect” too to take this amazing step and celebrate the beauty within!
You look absolutely beautiful Cheryl! You ARE an inspiration! If I could look half as beautiful I would be tempted to try!
