Miss J’s Boudoir Testimonial

From Conservative to Confident

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 was photographed in our luxury boudoir studio in East Nashville, Tennessee!

Tell us about yourself?

I am 35 years old. I have two kiddos. 15 year old son and a 10 year old daughter. I have my oldest son full time and my youngest still goes back and forth to her dad’s. I work full time at Lendmark Financial as a loan consultant. I have two fur babies. A Pomeranian and a cat.

How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?

I had a facebook friend invite me to the Facebook group. After being in the group for months I saw how beautiful these other female pictures were and I wanted to feel and look that way.

What was your initial reason for booking?

I really just wanted to experience having a photoshoot done. I’ve always been on the conservative side. I’ve also gained some weight over the last year and I haven’t felt like I looked good. Clothed and not clothed... I was married and divorced. My marriage wasn’t the best. Lots of verbal, mental, and some physical abuse. Lots of “you’ll never find anyone that’ll be with you after two kids”. Stuff like. I wanted to feel and look like how all those other females looked.

Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?

I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?

I was so nervous before the shoot. It was an excited nervous. But more nervous about the whole being half naked in front of someone I didn’t know. Heck I try to cover up being intimate with my partner lol. This is the heaviest I’ve ever been. So I worried about how I would look.

Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?

After I got to the studio and I was getting hair and makeup done I had calmed down some. But Courtney and the stylist made me feel so relaxed by just talking and asking me questions.

How did you feel during your session?

During my session I felt comfortable. Relaxed. It was exciting by this point!

Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.

I couldn’t believe the person in the picture was me lol. I was completely blown away. I definitely felt like I looked hot.

What was your favorite part of the experience and why?

Think my favorite part of the session was me actually feeling comfortable enough to be half naked in front of a stranger and her taking my picture. Me realizing I can look like all those other ladies. In my own way.

Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?

After seeing my pictures after my photoshoot. I have to say I don’t feel as embarrassed about my body. We are going to the beach in a month and I’m looking forward to getting in my bathing suit.

What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?

It’s definitely an experience you have got try at least once. You won’t regret it! I believe it makes you think differently about yourself afterwards. In a good way.

Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?

Yes I would! I’ve already been telling people they have to check out Holly Douglas & Co. My manager has been talking about she needs and wants to have something like this done. Especially after all the great things I’ve told her.

Is there anything else you'd like to add to your interview?

Just wanted to thank you all for the opportunity to be a part of this experience! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. I can’t wait to see my images!

Thank you for sharing your boudoir experience testimonial, Miss J.!
