Miss A’s Boudoir Testimonial | The Second Session Was For Herself
Miss A’s Boudoir Testimonial
The Second Session Was For Herself
We at Holly Douglas & Co. believe that EVERY woman, man, person and couple should experience a boudoir photoshoot at least once in their lifetimes. We love empowering people and boosting their self-confidence through the art of boudoir photography! Of course, people expect to hear that from us, the boudoir photographers, because we do this for a living. Boudoir testimonials written by our past clients who have actually experienced a boudoir session, on the other hand, are the most convincing! For this reason, Holly Douglas & Co. proudly features a new boudoir experience testimonial each week.
This week's boudoir experience testimonial comes from the gorgeous Miss A., who was photographed in our luxury boudoir studio in East Nashville, Tennessee!
Tell us about yourself?
I am a 41-year-old single mom of two teenagers. I work full-time as a RN and a busy cardiac Cathlab. I truly enjoy my job. I get to help perform miracles every day.
How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?
Instagram. I have been following Holly for a long time and I’ve always loved her work
What was your initial reason for booking?
I had boudoir pictures made back when I was married for my husband. I love the experience that I had then and the confidence that it gave me after seeing my pictures. Since then I have been divorced, and I’ve concentrated on my health and changing my body. I had the pictures made so that I could see myself for what I look like instead of just what I feel like and all the changes that I have been through
Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?
I didn’t have expectations. I had more hopes of what they would turn out like - believe me they met those expectations. My pictures were absolutely breathtaking!
Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?
A couple of days before my shoot, I was looking through my emails to confirm my appointment and realized I didn’t have anything to wear. I sent an email to Holly with my concerns of not having time to shop or have anything to bring. She reassured me that it was fine, that she had plenty of options for me to choose from. They have a beautiful closet and she picked out beautiful pieces for me.
Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?
I was nervous when I started, but then I just did what she said - main thing was to breathe and try to relax. She told me from the beginning that “if it bends were bending it, if it moves or moving it,” and that’s exactly what we did.
How did you feel during your session?
During my session, I felt silly. I felt like I was gonna look goofy in my pictures that my face was gonna be awkward that my body was gonna be awkward. That I wasn’t gonna like how my body looked, that I was gonna look to posed. You have a lot of things going through your mind when you’re taking pictures. None of these were even a concern after I saw my pictures.
Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.
I was really nervous to see my pictures to see how I looked, to see how my body looked. My first look at my pictures I was in awe of myself - they were absolutely beautiful. I was like OH HELL this BITCH is hot 🔥! Is this really me? This is what I look like? I could not have asked for any better experience or photographer to have these done.
What was your favorite part of the experience and why?
To just get to do this for myself. To put everything aside and say this is something that I want for me and they made it happen.
Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?
As a woman, you never see yourself the way everybody else does - you always pick out your flaws. Going through your pictures, you’re still gonna pick out your flaws, but that’s the only way that you can decide which picture you like better - they are all absolutely beautiful so they were so hard to pick from. That was the hardest part was deciding what pictures that I wanted because they were all the best of the best!!!
What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?
Just go in and relax and let them do what they love to do. When someone has passion for their work, you can tell and that’s what they do. Trust them and let them do an amazing job with your pictures.
Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your interview?
When they say to stretch, they are absolutely not joking. You need to be prepared. You will be sore the next day.!!!!
Thank you for sharing your boudoir experience testimonial, Miss A.!
