Miss H’s Boudoir Testimonial
Just Let What Happens Happen
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 H., who was photographed in our luxury boudoir studio in East Nashville, Tennessee!
Tell us about yourself?
I am 43, have 5 children and 1 grandson. Four biological daughters and an amazing bonus son. I will be getting married in October to his dad. We cannot wait.
How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?
I saw Holly through Facebook. I follow a couple other boudoir photographers, and always drawn to Holly's posts over the others. I love the blog posts and learning how others decide to go for it.
What was your initial reason for booking?
Initially I wanted to do this for myself, see myself in a different way. The closer my day got the more I wanted to give it to my fiance as a birthday gift. Well long story short we were finally able to set our wedding day for Oct this year. Now I want to give him the photos then. If I can wait until then!
Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?
My expectations going in were to have fun with it, and become confident as we take the shots.
Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?
Yes, I was nervous, as I do not wear makeup or lingerie. Not knowing what would look right or be the right color, or could I really be nude and let my picture be taken in this way?
Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?
As the makeup went on and my hair was done I just started feeling like WOW look at me! The 3 of us just chatted about life while my makeup was being done. Courtney just casually asked me questions about why I'm doing the shoot, what kind of outfits do I want? I told her whatever she thought would look good. The way we just talked about whatever really made me feel more comfortable.
How did you feel during your session?
At first I was like oh boy this is gonna be interesting… Watching Courtney pose so I knew what to do was a great help. Once we started taking the pics and she showed me one I felt like ok then..let's have some fun!
Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.
When I first saw the images it felt amazing. I loved every single one. How was I going to choose which ones to keep?
What was your favorite part of the experience and why?
My favorite part was getting to just let what happens happen. I did not know how I would feel about taking these pictures going in but Courtney made me feel at ease and together we picked out the outfit and went for it. The whole day was nothing short of amazing.
Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?
My self confidence has risen for sure. I am able to now see myself differently than I did before this shoot. I can finally see what he sees!
What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?
Do it, just do it. If you're thinking about it and have any doubts at all reach out in the group or to Holly and Courtney. Everyone is so helpful and encouraging. If you want to but the price is stopping you, you can make payments!!
Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?
I would definitely recommend Holly Douglas to anyone. As someone who wasn't sure about it but wanted to so bad, these ladies are the best!
Thank you for sharing your boudoir experience testimonial, Miss H.!
