before my boudoir session I was so scared
I am a newly single mom that wants to be the women
that I originally wanted to be.
I originally bought a Black Friday package to be a gift for my then husband for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Then COVID happened. My session got cancelled I think like the week before or the week of as it was when the state went into its lockdown.
Well, then 2 months later my husband wanted space. Then 2 months later he wanted a divorce.
Molly was great and understood.
I was then giving myself some time and planned to wait a while to get through the divorce and also to get to a calm time in my head. Then Molly said she was moving so I figured it was now or never and reached out and re-booked. It was the best thing for me and has helped to restart to building my confidence.
Before my boudoir session I was so scared, nervous, excited and self conscious.
I was still dealing with a lot of emotions as my divorce had just been finalized, so I was a bit of an emotional wreck.
I started super nervous and shy. After my makeup was done, I started to feel a bit more confident and was like dang, I look good. As we started going, I felt more calm and started having more fun.
I think what stuck out to me was when the sheet got lower and lower, I started to feel self conscious.
Then not much later, next thing I know I was free on top for a bunch of pictures and those are some of my most loved pictures.
In the moment, I didn't think I would like them even though I got comfortable with doing the pictures. When I saw them at the picture review, I fell in love.
I felt confident and sexy.
As we got further in, I knew I could do whatever Molly wanted me to do and I would look amazing doing it.
I felt happy, excited and proud that I was able to do that with everything going on.
Now, I look at my body different then I used to. I look at myself in the mirror more when changing and admire my body. Lol
I feel like it has helped a bit with my body confidence.
I would love to do another shoot when I get to an even better spot emotionally or even in the future when I find the right mr. right.
I would love to see the difference of how I feel and even how much different the pictures are. I would also love to be a part of one of the retreats as I feel like that could help me or someone else in my position as well as a restart to all!
To women considering doing a boudoir session, just do it no matter what it is for!
