OK, so I had to share this boudoir testimonial in a separate blog post because of the multiple emails I’ve received from my client. It’s too good not to share.
The first feedback I received was when my client arrived home after her session …. BEFORE she’d seen any photos! You know you’re doing a great job when they are happy before they even see the finished product!
“You were absolutely wonderful! I was very nervous coming into this, but just walking in the front door to your [studio] was very warm and welcoming. You ensured you took every photo that I wanted and spent extra time. I am forever grateful as I haven’t seen the pictures yet, but just knowing the care you took with me today I know that they will fantastic. You obviously have found your true calling in life and I appreciate all you have done to make myself and woman in general feel beautiful.
Thank you again for a priceless experience. This is something I will never forget.”
Then, after seeing two preview photos, I received this email:
“These photos can’t be me, there is no way!! I think you have the wrong girl 🙂 You are absolutely amazing for sure. A miracle worker, I would say. He is going to go crazy…They are beautiful. Thank you so much.”
Next up, she was deciding on whether to allow me to share some of her photos on my blog and she wrote:
“I really do want to be able to share what I have worked so hard for. If that ever makes sense. Inspire people that this can be done. You made me feel so good about myself. You made me feel like I am beautiful again. I can compete with these women that are in magazines and that is priceless to me. Thank you for that.”
And, finally – if all the emails before weren’t enough – she sent me this after she presented her husband with the album we designed:
“I have to tell you that my husband absolutely was speechless over the album. I took him on a picnic Saturday and gave him the book and he just couldn’t stop talking about it. He couldn’t believe that I would even do something like that. He was so excited and thought the pictures were just breathtaking. I can’t thank you enough for the gift that you gave the two of us. He was stunned by the beautiful gift and this will be something he can cherish for a lifetime. I appreciate the wonderful professionalism that you have shown and your warm heart. From the moment I walked into your studio to the end product, you are just an amazing person. I was truly blessed to have come across you in my lifetime and I hope that I will do so again. You are truly an amazing photographer. Maura you are stunning. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
This gift was priceless.
This last message is something I hear often when contacted about a boudoir session. The women are sometimes nervous but know that their significant other would LOVE these kind of photos of them. Stepping out of your comfort zone to do something for someone else can be scary but the risk is worth the reward!!! 🙂
I just have to say, if you don’t know already, that giving this experience to women brings me so much joy! Getting to be a part of this kind of transformation is something I have a hard time putting into words. My life is so fulfilled by the amazing women I work with, and I can’t imagine doing any other job! Thanks to all my awesome and amazing clients!
