As a boudoir photographer myself, I know the importance of doing these sessions. I try to put myself in client's shoes from time to time and admire Brian and Jen's work so much that I knew I had to do a session with them. I was in a bad place personally and decided to book a session with Brian and Jen to help get me out of it. I had all of the classic doubts and cold feet about the session such as: hating the way my body looked, not feeling confident with anything I picked out to wear, knowing that I could be putting this money towards bills or things for my family, but I had to keep reminding myself that it's important to invest in myself and into self care. Everything leading up to the session was fantastic. I loved all of the emails I got from Brian and Jen with how to prep and what to expect. They gave me all of the information needed to I knew exactly what to expect throughout the experience. Jen would check in with me often and became my own personal little hype squad. I needed that more than I knew at the time. The day before the session I got into a little fender bender. I live in another state so I planned to drive down to Ohio that day and have a nice relaxing day to myself (I am a mom of two so any time alone is like gold) to prepare for the session. After the fender bender, I could have easily used that as an excuse to reschedule the session. Jen even offered that, but I knew it was now or never. So, off I went to Ohio with a dented car and a head full of stress and doubt. The next day I was ready to go. Full of nerves and excitement, I walked into their studio and immediately felt comfortable. While Jen and Brittney glammed me up, Brian hung out and we all laughed and joked until it was time for the session. I felt like a total BOMBSHELL with the glam sesh those two did! We went through all the outfits I brought (since I had a tough time deciding on my own) and picked out the ones to wear. I was going to play it safe but almost instantaneously felt like a vixen and switched up one of my outfits for a more sultry one of theirs that I would have never picked out. I am SO glad I did. Those are some of my favorite images. After the shoot I went to a cute little Italian restaurant right by their studio and had a delicious carb filled lunch. Then it was time for the reveal. I think my jaw was on the floor for the whole thing. I know how reveal sessions go and I knew what to expect but I didn't anticipate seeing myself the way they saw me. It was amazing. Boudoir sessions are SO MUCH MORE than sexy photos. I left that day feeling like a damn queen and I've kept that confidence high ever since. Do yourself a favor and just book the session. Investing in ourselves is so important. So, so important. Jen, Brian and Brittney are absolutely incredible at what they do. I can't wait to do another session soon since they keep updating their space and I fall in love with the new sets every time!
