How did you hear about Whitney Browning Boudoir? : From a dear friend who had a session with Whitney a few years ago!
Why did you choose Whitney Browning Boudoir for your session? : I loved the studio and the whole vibe from her photographs! Whitney has an artistic eye and killer editing skills that made her the perfect choice! Also, the idea of a client wardrobe was appealing because I was not a person who had ever really owned or worn lingerie...that has since changed though!
What were your fears coming into the session? : That I wouldn't look like the hundreds of women whose pictures I had been admiring for so long! I find myself to be very a clumsy, goofy and not at all sexy person.
Did those fears come true? : Absolutely not! My confidence shot through the roof during the fashion show where we selected the outfits I would wear and it just got higher as the session went on. Whitney helped me choose the perfect lingerie and the poses she had me in were so flattering and I felt HOT for the first time in a long time!!!
What was your favorite part of the experience and why? : I would say the reveal. I wasn't expecting to be so shocked by what I saw, but I was! As a tired mama who rarely feels pretty and hates her body most days was in awe of what was on the screen!
How did you feel DURING your session? : I felt like a badass! Especially during the nudes!
How did you feel seeing your images for the first time?: I couldn't believe some of those images were me! That was MY ass? Sure was! I also knew I was about to have a hard time narrowing down the images! Whitney killed it!
Do you feel like you have a better relationship with your body since your session?: Absolutely! I immediately went home and ordered the blue outfit I wore plus a few more! I couldn't wait to embrace my new-found confidence on a daily basis! Also, as someone who has been struggling with secondary infertility, I had started to despise my body for what it couldn't do. I hated the extra weight I had put on due to stress and fertility medications, but the session helped me realize that no matter what size I am that I am worthy of feeling good about myself and my body! It's a beautiful and freeing thing to except yourself, flaws and all!
What will you do in the future to show yourself some self-love? : Take more time to focus on myself and look in the mirror a bit more.
Would you ever do another session?: Abso-freaking-lutley
Do you have any advice for women interested in booking a boudoir session?: Just do it! Don't wait to lose the weight, don't wait to invest in yourself, just don't wait!! You will walk away with so much more than just gorgeous pictures. You will leave with a confidence you've never felt before.
Anything else you'd like to share?: Do nudes. That is all.
