Boudoir was a way to celebrate myself just as I was.

I’m a 35 year recently divorced single mom of two toddlers

I am always that person that does for others. As a mom and wife it was always about caring for others. There was little to no time left for me.

DURING MY MARRIAGE I KIND OF LOST WHO I WAS.

I used to always do my hair, dress up, etc and it felt like leggings and messy mom buns were taking over.

EVEN MY FRIENDS KIND OF (NICELY) TOLD ME I WAS LOOKING A LITTLE FRUMPY.

I’ve been following Molly’s Boudoir Facebook page for quite some time and decided to take the plunge and try out boudoir photography.

I wanted to see myself as the badass I was and as I found out,

I STILL AM!

I got divorced back in July and was doing this shoot to celebrate my new single hood.

LIVING MY LIFE FOR ME AND MY KIDS ONLY. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY LIBERATING FEELING.

Also, I’ve never been happy with my body even during my “skinny years”, you know pre-kids.

THIS WAS A WAY TO CELEBRATE MYSELF JUST AS I WAS.

I was nervous but so so excited to do the shoot itself because I saw how amazing Molly’s photos really are!

After having two kids, I knew my body wasn’t the same but knew I was in Molly’s capable hands.

MOLLY INSTANTLY PUT ME AT EASE.

We walked out towards the forest and by the time we got to the location, I had no issue stripping down and was ready for my shoot.

I FELT BEAUTIFUL AND SEXY.

Molly gave me a sneak peek at some photos that were taken and I was in awe and shock that that was me in the photos.

I WAS THE SEXY BAD ASS I REMEMBERED I USED TO BE AND REALIZED I STILL WAS.

I remember being barefoot twirling around topless going,

HOLY SHIT THIS IS BAD ASS!

I pushed myself what I thought was out of my comfort zone, yet I was SO freaking comfortable during the whole shoot!

When I saw my first sneak peek of the photos taken,

IT WAS SURREAL.

I couldn’t believe that was me. I was beautiful and sexy. I couldn’t get over that it was me!

I instantly felt proud of myself and felt a deeper connection with myself.

I TOTALLY HAD A DIFFERENT SWAGGER AFTER MY SHOOT!

I WAS SO CONFIDENT IN MYSELF AND JUST FELT AMAZING!

IT WAS LIKE I FOUND MYSELF AGAIN!

The shoot has renewed my confidence.

It made me see myself as more than “just a mom”, but as a beautiful and sexy badass woman who should be damn proud of herself and all her accomplishments!

DO THIS FOR YOU!!!!

IT WILL BE AN EXPERIENCE YOU WON’T FORGET!

Molly is amazing to work with and will guide you through the whole process and put any worry you have at bay!

The best part is at the end of the shoot you’ll leave knowing how amazing you truly are.

AND WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR PHOTOS THESE WILL BE LASTING MEMENTOS YOU CAN ALWAYS LOOK BACK ON

SO YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW AMAZING YOU FELT WHEN YOU DECIDED TO TAKE THE PLUNGE AND DO THE SHOOT!
