Miss R’s Boudoir Testimonial
Nervous for No Reason
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 is another little throwback from the gorgeous Miss R., who was photographed at our previous boudoir studio in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, at the end of last year (before we opened our current luxury studio in East Nashville)!
Tell us about yourself?
I’m a 48 year old woman who has been married 28 years to my high school sweetheart. We have three incredible children. I’ve been a nurse for the last 26 years and love taking care of people. We moved to Tennessee from New Orleans a year after Hurricane Katrina.
How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?
I have been a member of the Facebook community for years. I’ve always wanted to have a session with Holly but was very nervous due to a previous bad boudoir session. After years of stalking Holly's page I jumped in and booked a session. Best decision ever!!!! I saw how people looked and what everyone said about their experiences at the studio. I knew I had to make my move and schedule a session. So glad I did.
What was your initial reason for booking?
I wanted to see myself the way my husband sees me. Everyday my husband tells me I’m beautiful but I’ve never had much self confidence. I always wanted to be sexy like everyone’s pictures I saw from their boudoir sessions.
Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?
I expected to come in and like some of my pictures. I loved them so much. It was painful to not get every print. I expected to have fun being pampered. It was wonderful form the moment I walked in the door. It was so much fun having a day to focus on me. I knew I would hate any nudes I would take. Boy… was I wrong! I loved my nudes! Every single one of them.
Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?
Yes, I was nervous. I wanted to take nudes but was afraid what I would look like. They were amazing! I was afraid with my joint issues I wouldn’t be able to do any sexy poses. I told Holly my limitations and she adjusted poses that worked with my body and injuries. Holly literally did the pose and then I mimicked her. If I couldn’t do it, she would change it up. I was nervous for no reason.
Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?
As soon as I walked in the door my nerves calmed down. Holly was so welcoming and made me feel like I’ve known her forever. We just talked while she fixed my hair and makeup. After us talking, I wasn’t nervous at all.
How did you feel during your session?
Amazing! I had so much fun. Before even seeing my pictures, I knew I’d be back again. It was such a life altering experience.
Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.
Like a goddess! I cried when I saw my pictures. I couldn’t believe I was looking at me. I never saw myself as sexy but in my image reveal I was like, dang I am sexy!
What was your favorite part of the experience and why?
I cannot pick one part. The entire day was an amazing experience. As the day went on I could feel my self confidence increasing.
Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?
I look at my pictures every single day. When I’m having a day I don’t feel as confident, I look at my app and all my confidence comes rushing back. I no longer look at this flaw or that flaw of my body. I see me as an amazing and powerful woman. I now feel confident and sexy. I cannot believe I now have a closet full of lingerie!
What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?
Do it!!!! This experience will help you grow as a person. Trust the process. Read the emails. They help you prep and pump you up. Don’t worry about poses, they are experts and know how to catch you at your best angles. They know how to highlight the beautiful person you are! Do it! Don’t wait. It’s so very worth it!
Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?
Absolutely! Holly Douglas & Co are the absolute best! Nobody else evens comes close to them!!!!
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your interview?
I cannot thank you enough Holly. My time with you in the studio has changed my self perception so much. I love myself a little more every time I look back on the experience and when I look at my incredible pictures! Thank you so very much! I’ll be back for my 50th!!!!
Thank you for sharing your boudoir experience testimonial, Miss R.!
