When women look in the mirror, we often see our imperfections, the things we want to change. This was my second boudoir shoot with Alicia and Kelsey and I booked it when I felt the absolute worst about my body (I had recently seen a picture of myself and burst into tears - the person I was looking at in the photo was not the version of myself that I saw in my head).
My first session was around 5 years ago right before I had my first baby, and although I love those pictures, it almost felt like that wasn’t my body anymore. I would tell myself, ‘Of course that version of me was sexy - that was before I had two kids!’ I knew I needed to do another shoot to accept and learn to love my post-baby body fully and to see myself the way my husband saw me.
During the shoot, even though I was completely naked, I felt completely comfortable as Alicia posed me. She showed me pictures as she took them, asked for my feedback and was sensitive to my insecurities, all while opening my eyes and helping me see my body in a new light. I walked out of the session feeling like a fucking goddess (pardon the language) with a renewed appreciation for my body. I love this body. I am proud of this body. I feel more confident in this body than I ever have before. Thank you, Alicia! 😘
If you are thinking about booking a shoot, do it. Many women do it for their significant other, but I think it’s even more important to do it for yourself. You deserve to feel sexy, confident, and beautiful no matter what size of clothes you wear or how your body has changed (especially the mamas out there). I promise you’ll have a pep in your step for weeks after your shoot 😉.
