I have the pleasure of sharing with you another Chick Clique beauty who so openly shared her life with me!  I met this gorgeous woman at a wedding I was photographing – she was the matron of honor.  I immediate knew we’d hit it off because we seemed to have the same sense of humor.  All day we laughed together.  And she was unbelievably helpful to everyone around here.  But, little did I know the struggle that she faced this year.  Her daughter passed away from a heart defect.  The pain and agony that she still feels I can only imagine.  I was so honored when she contacted me about a boudoir session – I knew what I wanted to do for her that day.  Just let her relax, have fun, not worry about anything!  Just a day to reminder herself who she was before all the heartache.

During her session she said she felt good and that she wasn’t thinking about anything else but the session and the laughs we were sharing.  That’s exactly what I wanted!  I so wish I could take her pain away – I want to so badly – but I know that my job is to just listen and empathize with my clients.  I may not understand some of the situations they go through but I can be an outlet for them to just let it all out.  I love that aspect of my job!

Here’s what she said about her session:

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  I thought that it would be a good way to show my husband how crazy I am about him still. Considering the year that we had.

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  i had self confidence

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  This shoot made me feel like I was me again. I made me remember how great it felt to be mindful and to be in the moment

4) Describe your session in 3 words?  MINDFUL, LAUGHTER, LOVE

(Maura Side Note:  She shared this photo with our private group and said,

“So I just did my review during a skype session. Let me tell you …

1. I had just as much fun via Skype that I did during the photo shoot
2.Even if you had no self confidence. You are leaving the viewing and shoot having a shit ton more. Maura won’t let you go if not 😉
3. The first photo reminds me of who I use to be a year and half ago. It means the most to me. I want to become that women again. I want my eyes to have that light and care free feeling that I display in this photo. I NEED TO BRING LIGHT TO MY DARKNESS  #selfgoals
4. My Husband will go crazy about these!! If you know him or me you better not blurp it out to him. or i will find you and give you that evil eye :-/
5. The inspiration that Maura gave me during the shoot and viewing makes me want to become a happier\ better person.
