Miss J’s Boudoir Testimonial
Embracing Her Dark Feminine Side
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 J., who traveled from Columbus, Ohio, to be photographed in our luxury boudoir studio in East Nashville, Tennessee!
Tell us about yourself?
I’m 32, work as a travel nurse. I love being outdoors, especially in the mountains. I’m embracing a new found confidence in my body and prioritizing my peace.
How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?
I was looking up boudoir shots on TikTok and instagram because I never knew about it and was looking for *spicey* posing tips. I loved the energy I saw from the behind the scenes, helping with posing etc, I’m like oh….I mean if I have someone directing me I can get shots like that? Hell yes sign me up! And then they had a casting call, I’m like okay let’s give this a shot.
What was your initial reason for booking?
I’ve been embracing that dark feminine side of myself I always thought I should hide and this seemed like the way to step outside my comfort zone and embrace the confidence I’ve been working on building. Let’s get some hot shots and be like damn, I did that! Something I can treasure forever and eventually scar my kids with someday.
Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?
I honestly tried not too think too much before going into the shoot, I just kept telling myself to trust the process. I was afraid of scaring myself out of it, I knew this was, like, what you guys did so you’re the experts. I just needed to have faith that I was gonna look good or realize this ain’t for me after. But I didn’t expect to see the shots of myself that I did!
Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?
Obviously nervous I wouldn’t look good, or feel ridiculous during trying to be sexy when I feel like I knew nothing about it, ya know? Plus I’m like, I don’t own a lot of flashy lingerie so I was nervous nothing would fit or I’d look frumpy.
Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?
Oh 1000%. We laughed about posing, Holly made it a relaxing environment and so much fun. She explained the posing and the reasoning behind why I was holding poses the way I was which helped.
How did you feel during your session?
I was nervous at first, but then after getting into it I relaxed more. By the end I was feeling great about myself
Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.
I was shocked, which I feel like everyone expects you to say. But I mean from remembering how I was posing to seeing the results it was really shocking.
What was your favorite part of the experience and why?
It’s hard to say because I enjoyed getting all “dolled up” but I also had fun during the actual shoot and viewing the images.
Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?
Honestly, I feel more confident just because I’m like oh, I can do this bad ass shit and look good cause I have proof.
What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?
Do it. It’s so worth it. Plus you get to look back at these images for the rest of your life.
Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?
I have already! I think everyone should do it at least once, men and women.
Thank you for sharing your boudoir experience testimonial, Miss J.!
