I’m very conservative in regards to nudity...boudoir edition

I’m a 30 (😭) year old wife and mom and I work as an emergency room nurse in a crazy busy hospital. I really wanted to do a session with Molly after seeing all her amazing work, reading everyone else’s experiences and look as good as all the other girls. I also really wanted to do a session to make myself feel and see myself how Molly sees all of us!

IT WAS JUST AN ADDED BONUS TO SHOW MY HUSBAND TOO!

I was extremely nervous leading up to my session with Molly.

I’M VERY RESERVED AND CONSERVATIVE IN REGARD TO NUDITY AND EVEN OPENING UP TO PEOPLE IN GENERAL.

Not only was I about to have minimal clothing on in front of the camera, but I had known Molly throughout our school years. Deep down, I knew it wouldn’t be a problem, but just thinking of that gave me additional anxiety leading up to my session. I kept telling myself that she’s a professional and reminded myself of how amazing her artwork truly is.

As soon as I walked into her studio, both Molly and her sister (who did my makeup) made me feel so comfortable and at ease with everything. The whole session

JUST FLOWED SO SMOOTHLY

and there wasn’t a single time that I felt awkward or uncomfortable. I even remember Molly had me in one position that had some under boob showing. Molly had me pause what we were doing so she could catch that moment. Molly pays such great attention to detail and it clearly shows in her pictures.

During the session Molly made me feel so good about myself. She made it so comfortable and easy. She showed me what to do for each shot and I could hear her excitement several times throughout the session.

Before I realized anything was happening, Molly had me

COMPLETELY NAKED

and wrapping myself in the infamous white bed sheet.

My entire session just felt so lighthearted and I was at ease. During the shoot, I never thought about how I didn’t lose the 15 pounds I had wanted or that my stomach wasn’t tight and flat.

I FELT BEAUTY AND JOY RADIATING FROM ME AND I COMPLETELY TRUSTED MOLLY IN WHAT SHE WAS CREATING.

Immediately after my session, I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and bliss, but mostly my impatience. I was so excited to see the pictures Molly had captured and couldn’t wait to show them off to my husband.

After doing my session, I think that overall I have a better feeling and understanding of myself. I realize that although I have tendencies to find all my flaws and imperfections, there are so many other things that make me beautiful.

If you’re even thinking about doing a session, book it! Molly is so amazing and will make you feel comfortable as soon as you step into her studio. She has a way with people that I can’t even describe.

Finally, I wanted to say that I personally chose (and continue to choose) to not show my face in any pictures that are posted due to the career that I am in and the people I see on a daily basis. I still always get this extra excitement when I see my pictures posted on Instagram/Facebook because I feel like it’s my little secret and it gives me the best confidence boost. It made me feel safe knowing Molly would keep my photos secure.
