What made you decide to have a boudoir shoot?

Last year I had brain surgery and I didn’t die, so I just wanted to celebrate my life.

How did you feel before you came today?

I was nervous. A little sweaty in the armpits, but still had a good time with the makeup girl, Allison, and Teri. They just set me at ease to begin with and we joked and laughed.

How do you feel now?

I feel like a million bucks. I feel way cuter than I thought possible. I mean, come on guys, look at this, look how stinking cute I am. I feel really good and Teri you helped me feel good about posing and my wobble neck, that you fixed for me.

Lexi

Polk City, IA

What made you decide to have a boudoir shoot?

I had been thinking about it or thought about it a million times. Other people would do them and I would think “Man I should do that”. I think a part of the reason I finally did, is because, I do a lot for other people and I have my two kids. It was something that I wanted to do for myself. Just something fun, something to make me feel good, and also because I have two little girls. I want to show them confidence and that mommy can be sexy and fun, love her body, and that they can to. So that is huge now for me, because my little girls are watching me.

How did you feel before you came today?

I was super nervous and super excited, probably equal amounts. I got here and that totally went away. So that was good.

Super good. I’m really excited. I feel super confident. I feel like it was way fun. I was way more comfortable than I though I would be walking around in my underwear.

What would you tell another woman who was considering a boudoir photo shoot of her own?

Do it. I don't know do it, like why not.

What would you tell another woman who was considering a boudoir photo shoot of her own?

Tanya

Knoxville, IA

What made you decide to do a boudoir shoot?

I’ve always wanted to do one. The main reasons, I wanted to give my husband something to look at and then look back in the future at myself. I know bodies and things change in the future, so something to look back on.

I would tell them to definitely go for it and do it. It seriously gives you the most confidence and makes you feel so good about yourself. Any self conscious things that you would have go away. Especially once you see the pictures. I don’t ever say that I look amazing but those pictures, there’s some that look really good.
