Transparently, I thought I would feel more unexpected emotions. I thought, in some aspects, there would be this tremendous sexual awakening where I would feel some hidden power I did not know was there. That might sound a little dramatic, but I sometimes feel pretty suppressed, so I was expecting a lot from myself. But I can't stress enough how important it is to me that everything felt normal. That, in its own right, meant a lot to me. I was comfortable. And because of that, I felt like I could just be myself.

I was still consumed by recovery and getting back to my normal self, and what better way to do that than throwing on some lingerie and having some fun via Molly's camera?!

I was extremely nervous EVERY DAY leading up to my shoot, would I be satisfied with my body through the lens, would my face and body cooperate, so I would be seen as capable and beautiful?

To women considering doing a boudoir session, just do it no matter what it is for! Even if you don't have someone to share the results with, seeing the results yourself will give you a different outlook on your life, body and mind.

In 2019 I spiraled into a horrible depression after I was laid off from my job and life continued to get worse as I found out my husband who I have been with for 19 years at the time was having an online affair.

I think I feel more empowered after my session. Like, if I can be naked and vulnerable in fort of a camera lens and love myself, I can do anything.

We are our own worst critics and I think this session really helped me go outside my comfort zone and understand that

I am beautiful and I did it for me.

I have never been a sexual or affectionate person because I get so down on myself. This experience let me pause and look at how unique and special I am in my own way.

I felt lost. Utterly lost. I was spiraling. But my son, husband, family and friends kept me grounded. I grew closer with my relationship with God and picked myself up. Then, Molly offered her Black Friday Sale and I knew I needed it. I loved my first session, but it wasn't enough. 30 minutes is not enough for a full experience with Molly. I knew I had to save what I could to make it happen. And I did.

Oh my God, why did you do this? You're going to walk in there shaking and not be able to get through the day. What kind of excuse can I come up with to not have to go?

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 had so many unexpected emotions, but the one I didn’t expect was anger! It felt amazing to express that in such a powerful way. I also realized that it's ok to speak up for myself, and to always want better for myself.

This experience has definitely changed me. I realized that how I see myself is different from the way other people see me. That I do have magic within me.

I have always been amazed with Molly's work but I finally got the courage to do a boudoir session a couple months ago! My body has been in pain every day for the last 2 years (that I can remember). It started with my hands and it spread everywhere else and I can honestly say that I don't remember what its like to have a physically good day. I let this get in the way of a lot of things that I usually love to do and I let myself go into a dark places.

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 fb 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!

To be honest I was dreading it. I originally booked it for over the summer but many unfortunate personal events led me to rescheduling. Between these times I put on a lot of weight and didn't think anything could make me feel good about myself. But I was so wrong. Molly did a phenomenal job of bring out my inner sexy image through these pictures!

I was a little nervous. I read all of the inspiration from other clients, and thought, "I won't feel like that. I won't go nude. I won't cry at my pictures. They will just look like regular old me." Needless to say, I was a little negative about how I would react. BUT Oh my gosh, I did almost cry when I saw the pictures of myself! Some didn't even look like me! And I did end up naked! Every single thing other woman have said were right!

You don't realize just how much there is to love about yourself, until you see it in the eyes of Molly and her magic talent. IT'S 100% WORTH THE INVESTMENT! You only get one body and one life in this world. Why spend time and energy beating yourself down, when there's so many amazing things about yourself to love!

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. 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.

Okay so right after the session, I actually felt very sick.

But as weird as this may sound...I truly believe something came out of me that day.

All the negativity that my own mind had thought up or the negativity that others have put into my head, it all left. I own my feelings and happiness. No one else can control that. And no matter how many times I’ve heard those negative comments and even for future negative comments, rise above Stephanie because you are beautiful, you are strong, and you can do this!

It was when I was fully nude that I laughed more, felt more connected with myself and was able to just breathe and relax and not think “how do I look?” One of my absolute favorite photos is the one of me fully nude and laughing. That photo means more to me than anyone could ever possibly begin to imagine.

so I didn't take any medications and figured if it was going to happen it would happen. SURE ENOUGH a week before we moved I found out I was pregnant, and now I get to capture this beautiful pregnancy with these pictures!
