Miss B’s Boudoir Testimonial
It’s OK to Have Curves
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 B., who was photographed in our luxury boudoir studio in East Nashville, Tennessee!
Tell us about yourself?
I just turned 40! I am married and a mom of two boys and a business owner. I am also going back to school to become a licensed aesthetician. I love music and travel.
How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?
Honestly, I found you on Google as I was looking around near my area. I thought your pictures were beautiful that you had photographed of other clients and decided to give you a call.
What was your initial reason for booking?
My initial reasons for booking were because I was turning 40 and I wanted to remember where I was in life and wanted some beautiful pictures to remember where I’m at now. Also, I was looking for something to encourage myself to be happy with who I am.
Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?
I did not have any expectations. I knew it was going to be very nice as far as the studio and was very excited to meet Holly as I had spoken with her a couple times prior to the appointment.
Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?
I was a bit nervous considering I had decided to do nudes - something that I would normally never do in front of a stranger, especially being photographed. Just being able to be comfortable enough to stand in front of somebody was a big deal.
Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?
I became comfortable immediately as Holly’s personality was very bubbly and super sweet along with Megan, her make up artist. Offered refreshments and made sure I had what I needed and she made picking out a wardrobe really fun. She’s very body positive as well.
How did you feel during your session?
I was excited during my session. I also felt empowered and sexy at the same time. I loved seeing her create and explain moves that she wanted me to do and how the photo was going to be captured. It was very interesting and a lot of fun.
Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.
Honestly, I thought I was going to cry because they were so good. There were some images that were not my favorite, which we deleted, and there were some things about the way I looked that I wasn’t initially comfortable with, but I realized when she pointed out the things I did not like that they really were beautiful and feminine. She allowed me to see myself in a different way that was positive.
What was your favorite part of the experience and why?
Absolutely loved getting my hair and make up done and trying on different lingerie. Taking the photos was a lot of fun. I liked going around the studio and trying different poses. Honestly, the whole day was wonderful. Holly truly is a professional boudoir photographer, and her personality just shines! I felt like I made a new friend!
Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?
I realized that even though I’m not at the size I want to be and I am still working on myself that I’m still beautiful and that everybody is Beautiful and their own way. I also realized it’s OK to have curves and I see myself in a more positive way.
What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?
Do it! It will make you feel good about yourself. You will enjoy your time and come away with very beautiful and professional pictures whether you share them with others or not you can look at them and feel good about yourself.
Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?
Absolutely!
Thank you for sharing your boudoir experience testimonial, Miss B.!

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’m 39 and single stay at home mom of two boys, 13 and 10. I became a single mom almost 3 years ago when my husband unexpectedly passed away. I have the best dog (basset hound) named Poppy. I absolutely love hockey and I am a huge Preds fan.
How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?
Honestly I just started googling photographers and Holly came up as one of the top boudoir photographers.
What was your initial reason for booking?
I have always wanted to do a shoot but always self conscious and never comfortable in my own skin. I am turning 40 in October and this is the year to do things out of my comfort zone and thing I’ve always wanted to do and stop holding myself back.
Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?
I didn’t really. I had looked at the portfolios before and knew the pictures would be beautiful.
Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?
Surprisingly I was more excited than anything. I was just hoping I could look past being my own harshest critic and really embrace the pictures of myself.
Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?
Courtney made me feel completely comfortable the entire session.
How did you feel during your session?
I felt very comfortable, excited, empowered.
Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.
I was blown away and shocked that something like a certain movement or look can make something so beautiful.
What was your favorite part of the experience and why?
It was so fun taking the pictures but honestly being pampered with hair and makeup before was my favorite.
Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?
It has empowered me and made me look at myself completely different. Also to try and not be my own worst critic when it comes to my body image.
What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?
DO IT!!! You seriously won’t regret it!
Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?
Absolutely, I’ve already told all my female friends!
Thank you, Miss A., for sharing this boudoir experience testimonial!
