Miss J’s Boudoir Testimonial

Scarred, But Not Broken

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 42 years old. I am divorced. I have 2 children. My daughter is going to be a senior in high school and my son will be a freshman in high school this year. He still thinks I'm cool because I drive a Camaro (21 LT1). I have been a single, full-time mom for 9 years. My kids are my world! I have 4 cats. I love the color pink. I am obsessed with dragonflies! I like white wine and relaxing on the couch with a glass of wine at the end of the day.

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

I looked up boudoir places and Holly Douglas had amazing reviews and beautiful pictures. I found the FB and IG pages and was blown away.

What was your initial reason for booking?

I have been through a lot of things in my life that should have broken me, yet I'm still here. People keep telling me how strong of a person I am. I don't feel that way all the time. I recently got into a bad wreck and almost lost part of my hand and severely bruised my leg. My hand will always be scarred. It took a lot for me to accept the fact that I will never look the same or be able to do the same things again. I felt ugly. I'm also getting older now.

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

I was nervous about showing so much of my body to a total stranger. I was surprised at how comfortable I was.

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

I became comfortable almost instantly. The conversation was easy and my questionnaire about my preferences had been read.

How did you feel during your session?

I feel great! I was a little sore the next day. My ankle hurt from pointing my toes 😆. I was warned for weeks to stretch and I didn't do it as much as I could've. But, it was worth it!

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

I was so amazed! I looked HOT! And beautiful! And, I looked like ME still. It almost brought tears to my eyes.

What was your favorite part of the experience and why?

I just enjoyed playing dress up and having someone focus 100% on me for a day. I always focus on everyone around me-kids, boyfriend, dad, friends. It was so much fun.

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

I have never thought I was ugly, but I have never thought I was a 10 either. I truly felt like a model and realized that I can wear lingerie and look sexy in it. My body is sexier than I thought it was.

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

It seems scary and expensive, but it is one of the easiest and most freeing experiences of your life! It is worth every penny too! I was so concerned with what to wear & I was styled & didn't even need to worry. But, now I have new lingerie to wear for my boyfriend 😉

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

1000 times YES!

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