This boudoir shoot was not something I ever thought I’d do or feel comfortable doing. I had been looking at pictures on Chris’ Facebook page for at least 6 months and admired the confidence all these beautiful women seem to have.
Growing up I was always short and thick. I lost weight and gained it back and never was overly happy with my body. Then I had two boys that are only 13 months apart and my self-confidence completely diminished. I never really feel happy looking at pictures of myself, I avoid mirrors, I hide behind my kids in family photos.
HOWEVER, this experience has made me feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. I couldn’t believe the pictures that Chris and Monica were taking. I was extremely nervous, but once I met them I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. I laughed a lot and started to come out of my shell and comfort zone very quickly after realizing they would do anything to make me feel beautiful.
I have now done two shoots. And I wish I could afford to literally do one a month. I left feeling so empowered and confident. If you are questioning whether to do it – just go for it! You will be nervous, of course, but once you start posing and seeing the pictures you will gain confidence immediately. I wasn’t even nervous for my second shoot only excited to see what new pose or ideas they had and how amazing the pictures would turn out.
HerStory is a blog written by our clients with images they chose to share from their session: what led them to do a photoshoot, how the session made them feel, and how they feel about it now. We have worked with hundreds of clients, and each of their stories teaches us something about ourselves. –Chris Connelly Photography
