Why I Finally Did a Boudoir Session (& You Should Too!)

Hey #SheerBeauties! I took a big leap and traveled from New York to Youngstown, Ohio for my first boudoir shoot. It took a whole year of planning, intense workouts, and lots of prayer to make this happen…but it was all worth it! I'm excited to share the behind-the-scenes story & some of my favorite images with all of you.

There are many different reasons a person may want to do a boudoir session. For some it may serve as a wedding or anniversary gift, for others they may want to overcome body image issues or get a confidence boost. For me personally I had been following a dynamic couple; Brian and Jen, for many years on Instagram. Initially I had wanted to work with them as soon as I saw their feed and realized how incredibly talented they are. Despite this I was still a little apprehensive and it did take time for me to get more comfortable with the idea of being so vulnerable with my body in front of strangers. 🍑 I pretty much sat on the sidelines & pondered about how things would go if I ever booked my own shoot. Eventually one day I just decided to go for it & I’m so thankful I did! Shopping for lingerie & scouting out poses was so much fun. I really feel like my photos captured my personality and I was truly captivated & in awe of how I was captured on film. 

One of my favorite parts of my shoot was recreating the famous scene from the Wolf of Wall Street, “Morning Ritual”. Featured in these photo with me is an amazing local model, Tyjaan King.

When I saw my boudoir photos it was such a surreal feeling. I had never quite seen myself that way before & it felt almost as if I was seeing myself for the first time. The experience of seeing my photos allowed me to see how beautiful I truly am. Going through my divorce at a young age had left me feeling insecure, and this boudoir shoot definitely helped me validate myself and feel more confident in my own skin. It was worth every penny I spent! I can't wait to do it all again!

So, I challenge you to do a boudoir shoot at least once in your life. It doesn't matter if you're male or female, big or small, young or old. Boudoir photography is for everyone. It's time to embrace your inner beauty and celebrate yourself!

XOXO, Victoria

It's Time to Feel Sexy, Empowered and Confident

Ladies, it's time to embrace your beauty and sexuality regardless of your age, weight, and body type. Society has conditioned us to think that we must look like a supermodel to feel sexy and confident. But the truth is, we are all beautiful in our own unique way, and a boudoir session can help you realize that. For those who have never done a boudoir shoot before, you might feel hesitant and nervous, but trust me, this photoshoot can be a life-changing experience that will boost your self-esteem and help you connect with your feminine power. Read on to discover how a boudoir session can heal you and make you fall in love with yourself.

Rediscover your confidence

Your #SheerExperience is all about celebrating your beauty, strength, and sensuality. You get to embrace your body and let go of insecurities that might be holding you back from feeling confident and sexy. During the shoot, Jen & Brian will guide and pose you in ways that flatter your body and bring out your best qualities. You will be amazed at how empowering it feels to be in control of your body and show off your curves.

Embrace your femininity

As women, we tend to get lost in our daily routines and forget the importance of taking the time to nurture our inner goddess. Your Sheer Experience can help you reconnect with your feminine energy, which is essential for your overall well-being. You get to play dress-up, wear beautiful lingerie, and express yourself in ways that make you feel alive and sensual. Embracing your femininity also helps you tap into your intuition and enhance your relationships with yourself and others.

A transformative experience

A boudoir session with Sheer Photography is not just a photoshoot; it's a transformative experience that can help you heal from past traumas and emotional wounds. Many women have insecurities and body image issues that stem from past experiences, such as abusive relationships, rejection, or shaming. A boudoir shoot can help you reclaim your power and transform your negative self-talk into positive affirmations. You get to see yourself through the eyes of someone else who sees the beauty in you, despite your perceived flaws.

A gift to yourself

A boudoir session is not just a gift for someone else; it's a gift to yourself! You get to invest in yourself and create a lasting memory that you can cherish for years to come. Imagine looking at your boudoir album 10 or 20 years from now and feeling proud of yourself for having the courage to embrace your beauty and sexuality. Your SheerExperience is a reminder that you are worthy of love, respect, and pleasure.

Ladies, if you're still hesitant about booking a boudoir session with Northeast Ohio’s premier boudoir studio, I hope this helps you to give it a try. A boudoir shoot is not just a photoshoot; it's a transformative experience that can help you rediscover your confidence, embrace your femininity, heal from past traumas, and give yourself a gift that keeps on giving. Remember, you are beautiful, just the way you are! So, embrace your curves, wear that lingerie, and show the world your fierce and fabulous self!

Don’t be shy…

Oh honey, boudoir sessions are all the rage among us ladies. And let me tell you, it's not just about getting those sexy shots. It's about honoring and loving yourself just the way you are.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO WAS ON THE FENCE ABOUT BOOKING THEIR OWN SESSION? Just do it! You deserve it. The high will last for sooooo long. It's been months and I still feel incredible about myself.

DID YOU HAVE ANY INSECURITIES OR WORRIES ABOUT DOING A SESSION THAT WE HELPED YOU GET OVER BEFORE/DURING/AFTER YOUR SESSION? I thought I was so fat and unattractive. But Jen and Brian were so supportive and funny that I felt amazing during my session and even more confident after I saw all of my gorgeous photos.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO WAS WORRIED ABOUT NOT LIKING ANY OF THEIR IMAGES AFTER THEIR SESSION? I didn't think there would be any pictures that I liked and I loved 99% of them. I had a hard time picking my favorites for the album.
