I had been lost for years in postpartum - boudoir client feature

I'M A 32 YEAR OLD MOM OF TWO ABOUT TO CELEBRATE MY 10TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

Not only was I able to gift this for my husband, but it has also come at a time in my life where I've started to put some focus back on myself and reclaim my identity.

It feels great to start caring about myself again as that has been lost for years in postpartum.

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO GIFT THIS TO MY HUSBAND FOR YEARS.

I knew it would be a big deal, so our 10 year wedding anniversary seemed like the perfect time.

I was so nervous, EXCITED NERVOUS! I'd kept this a surprise from my husband for 9 months and counting!!

So lots of planning, overthinking, and good vibes going into the shoot.

I WAS SHOCKINGLY COMFORTABLE.

I didn't know how I'd feel when push came to shove. I'm a tad on the shy side when meeting new people and a bit on the conservative side (first time getting naked in front of a stranger). It helped that I'd been following Zealous Stills Love & Inspiration for Women Facebook page for the last couple of years.

AS WITH MOST SOCIAL MEDIA; I WENT INTO THE SHOOT FEELING LIKE I KNEW MOLLY. SHE IS A REFRESHINGLY GENUINE GOOD PERSON.

THERE IS DEFINITELY A MEMORY THAT STICKS OUT MOST. . .

OH NO BIG DEAL, JUST HANGING OUT TOPLESS WITH MY GIRL MOLLY WHILE WE UNTANGLED MY BODY CHAINS!!

😂😂

I couldn’t believe how calm I was.

I thought I'd be freaking out, and I just remember thinking to myself that I felt safe, I was having fun, and I felt calm.

I WAS TOTALLY BUMMED WHEN IT ENDED! I MEAN WHO DOESN'T WANT TO GET DOLLED UP, FEEL GOOD, AND HANG OUT WITH THE GIRLS!

That's a party I would have overstayed my welcome if given the chance. 😂

I've never felt so beautiful thanks to Ashley Z. (hair & makeup) & Molly!

IF ANYONE ASKED ME IF THEY SHOULD DO A BOUDOIR SESSION, I’D SAY DO IT.

TREAT YOURSELF.

YOU ARE WORTH IT, AND THESE PHOTOGRAPHS WILL LAST A LIFETIME!

Molly is a complete professional. Her at-ease demeanor is contagious and before you know it you'll find yourself topless making small talk like you're out grabbing coffee with one of your girls!

SORRY MOLLY,

now that I've hung out with you fully nude, you are my honorary girl friend! 😂
