I believe that every woman should do a boudoir shoot not just for that special someone, but most important, for themselves at least one time. This experience is about embracing your body and feeling super sexy without any judgment. It is amazin...g!
After seeing some of Alyssa’s stunning photos at my good friend’s house, I decided to contact her about shooting boudoir photos for me. She was very receptive, and answered so many of my questions during our first phone call, and meeting. She knew that this was foreign to me, so she gave me many suggestions including where to shop for lingerie.
The day of my photo shoot, Alyssa and her team were ready and waiting with open arms. From the moment I stepped foot into her studio, I felt like I had known them forever. They just wanted to have fun, and made me feel so comfortable. I think the best part was that they made me feel sexy and beautiful. The day was all about me for a change, which never happens. It started with getting my hair and makeup done, and then I had a stylist. How fun was that? We had so much fun during prep time that I was more than comfortable for my photo shoot. I have never had people make me feel so pretty and confident about my body before. They truly made me feel amazing, and this made my photo shoot an awesome experience.
Of course, the best part is the finished product. Alyssa’s professionalism, talent, and eye are excellent, and truly show in every image that she took. She shot over 200 images of me and the most difficult part of this experience is choosing the images that I want. Each image is so unique, and Alyssa captured every emotion that I was feeling during the entire session. Seeing me in someone else’s eyes is truly captivating.
My ten year wedding anniversary is approaching, and I could not think of a better gift for my husband than boudoir photos. I still have yet to give him the photos, but I am sure that he will love them.
This was absolutely a unique and empowering experience for me, and again, every woman should shoot a boudoir session at least one time in their lives. Love and embrace your body!
Thanks again Alyssa!!
