For quite some time I had been following the Sheer VIP Facebook page and on Instagram. Everytime I would see a new SheerBeauty picture posted I would always think, “WOW! They look like models. I wish I could pose like that, or rock a sexy outfit.” I loved all the images that were bravely shared. Once upon a time ago, I had that courage, confidence and self love that all these women had in their photos. I kept saying when I lose weight I will book a session.
During Covid, two things happened that hadn’t in almost 12 years for me. 1. I found love. Real, true, I found my soul-mate, best friend kind of love. There is an adage that couples in happy relationships gain more weight over time- that must have meant we both made each other verrrrrry happy because we both gained. Which leads to number 2. I gained weight for the first time since I had been pregnant over a decade ago. My boyfriend truly loves every inch and pound of me. He makes me feel so amazing and loved. But I didn’t feel sexy or proud of my current figure. I thought what a surprise it would be to gift him me! As a bonus I would have motivation to work out and get fit for my photo shoot. So I did it and booked a session.
As time went on I knew I wanted to work out, eat better, get fit. Surprise- it didn’t happen. I started to get so nervous as my session got closer. I wasn’t the weight I wanted to be at and I was feeling the most unsexy ever in my life. The night before I thought about cancelling but then my awesome gift for my boyfriend would be ruined. I had no backups planned. So I woke up the next day and came to the Sheer building with my outfits.
Right away we popped open some wine and Jen and Brittney got started on my hair and makeup. Before I knew it I was all prettied up and it was time to take photos. During the first few photos I was unsure of myself and nervous. Within a few moments I relaxed and then it was FUN! They show you some photos as they take them and it truly is mind blowing. The day flew by and before I knew it, it was time for the reveal. I was in awe of how I looked at what they were showing me. It was ME on the screen looking like a sultry sexy badass woman. I couldn’t stop looking at my womanly curves! I booked this shoot for the reason to gift my boyfriend some sexy photos, but at the same time I found me all over again. Those thick thighs and extra loving to squeeze I had been complaining about the day before? Gone were those negative thoughts and were replaced with confidence that I love those parts of me that he loves too again.
I didn’t know how to keep it all a secret for over a month, but somehow I did. Everyday I wanted to cave and show him. I was bursting with excitement and would catch myself looking at the App on my phone in private. I was still blown away that it was me in the pictures. When the day came and I gave him his present, his jaw dropped. It was worth every penny and minute of nerves. Especially when we both got something from it.
Would I recommend a boudoir session with the amazing Sheer Squad? Absolutely. Whether it’s for you, or for a loved one. Do it. When you think of beautiful things, you should think of yourself. I would compare it to getting a tattoo. Because as that day ended I already wanted to book another session. Maybe for the next one I will be more in shape, and if not I’m perfectly fine with it. We are all imperfectly beautiful in our own ways. Until then I will keep trying to convince my boyfriend to join, and keep admiring my beautiful photos. Thank you Brian, Jen and Brittney for an amazing experience! You guys rock at what you do!
Xoxo,
