WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE?
Leah’s enthusiasm! Leah’s encouragement, direction, and overall excitement completely allowed me to get out of any anxious mindset. I felt like Cindy Crawford during the entire shoot!!
ANYTHING CHANGE ABOUT HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF?
I am learning to appreciate my body a lot more. I am my biggest critic. After the shoot, I realized how special my body is and how much I allow my negative thoughts to influence how I carry myself. My body may not be “perfect” in the eyes of society but it is my own, and that is something worthy of celebrating!

WHAT MOTIVATED YOU TO DO A BOUDOIR SESSION?
Initially, a wedding gift for my fiance. I had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot but never found a “reason” to.
BEFORE YOUR SESSION, WHAT WERE YOU MOST NERVOUS ABOUT?
My insecurities! I am the type of girl that puts a “hand bra” even when walking around my house alone; being nude in any way is not my most comfortable state. I had no idea how awkward I would be undressing in front of a camera.
AFTER THE SHOOT, HOW DID YOU FEEL?
Completely empowered. And addicted! The entire experience was exhilarating; I felt like I was ready to take on the world! I texted my closest friends, encouraging them to get a boudoir shoot done too! 
WHAT WAS YOUR INITIAL REACTION TO THE IMAGES?
I actually looked as good as I felt during the shoot!! It was amazing to see myself in actual photos, exuding confidence that was genuine. I was proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone and realized how much more of a gift the shoot was for ME than my future husband!
ANY ADVICE FOR OTHERS LOOKING TO DO A SHOOT?
Go for it! Embrace your beauty. A woman’s body is an amazing, beautiful thing. Each body has a story to tell; every mole, scar, roll, whatever other “mark” on our body is a chapter in our individual story. Each story is worthy of being told and appreciated!
