Her body has a story to tell with Boudoir
In a world where tomorrow is not promised, why play it small?
In a world where we are often scrutinized even for the good things we do, why not do what you desire?
In a world where women have been minimized to simple objects of pleasure, why not please yourself?
She stands naked in front of the mirror witnessing how her body has changed over time.
Her body has a story to tell.
The story of a little girl sometimes beaten and bruised, sometimes cherished and loved beyond measure. Her flesh in all of its forms has carried her along the path of unbecoming. The story of the wild & promiscuous, and the longing for true everlasting love.
Her body holds the memories of addiction deep within its bones. And knows the feeling of TRUE LOVE being born into herself, carrying her life’s best work within her body, she knows the form of a mother.
She sees the athlete and competitor, the yogi and the artist within her eyes.
This suit of flesh has carried her soul through every joy, every heartache, every birth, death, and rebirth of herself. She has carried her through every sacred moment of this life, her body has kept her safe and sound during the scariest of times.
She has nurtured herself back to life and is a force to be reckoned with.
As she stands before the mirror she sees the maiden, the mother and the croan.
She sees the wild, fierce, and free. She sees the protector, the visionary, the artist, the lover, the caretaker. She sees all of that which sets her FREE.
She is an
Ambassador [ am-bas-uh-der, -dawr ]
noun
1. a diplomatic official of the highest rank, sent by one sovereign (autonomous, free or
independent) or state to another as its resident representative
(ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary ).
2. a diplomatic official of the highest rank sent by a government to represent it on a temporary
mission, as for negotiating a treaty (a treaty of self-expression and free love).
Chosen by my sister to represent the message and magic the feeds her soul and those of thousands of women who have walked through her doors and thousand more who have not yet given themselves permission to be seen.
A message of self-love, creativity, acceptance, and curiosity.
To have the courage to lean in and PLAY BIG, the courage to lean in and BE SCRUTINIZED, the courage to PLEASE YOURSELF.
This is what being an ambassador is all about.
Sent to represent the feminine in all her forms, to be on a mission to spread the word of what boudoir can do for your soul.
To represent SELF EXPRESSION for women around the globe.
It is ok to PLAY BIG, it is ok to share your FLESH, it is ok give zero fucks about what they think of what YOU do.
It is ok to lean into YOU.
This journey has been one of sisterhood, creativity, expansion, reflection… I would be lying if I told you that there weren’t feelings of fear, anxiety, or stress. For these feelings have been programmed into women for hundreds of years.
It has been a journey of unbecoming, a deep unwinding of sexuality and the energy the female body represents.
The witnessing of SELF as she blossoms into a new version with every photo shoot revealed. Seeing as she shape-shifts over time, as she softens, as her courage comes with ease and her heart shines ever so brightly.
What you see is TRANSFORMATION – COURAGE – LOVE – FEAR – EXPRESSION – UNWINDING….
An ambassador I will be for as long as it helps others to see…

A note from Molly:
This poetic share about her experience is one of the best descriptions I’ve read on HOW adventure boudoir feels. Boudoir photography IS scary. Having any intimate experience while being photographed IS a sure fired way to wake up the inner critic, but it’s also a way to be SEEN. Adventure boudoir is magical in the way that, on the other side of fear lies a woman you’ve always known. A familiar, confident, self assured woman who loves her skin. No, I’m not saying that boudoir photography is a magic pill you take overnight to silence your demons, but it’s an incredible step on your self-love journey with PROOF of how amazing and beautiful you really are.
Adventure Boudoir at Zealous Stills is curated to be a potentially life-changing event that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
