My clients are THE MOST AMAZING WOMEN ON THE PLANET!!!!!!!!

Here’s what this beauty posted about her session in my private Facebook group (join us):

Then I found the Pics By Chicks Photography Self Love Group.

And I joined.

And I waited.

I sat by the sidelines for one year, two years, and I watched and read.

I watched woman after woman talk about embarking on a journey of self love and empowerment and acceptance and growth.

And a nagging little feeling began to grow.

I wanted to be beautiful, accepted, empowered. I wanted someone to hoot and holler for me. And most of all I wanted to do it for me and only me.

So I took a breath and took a chance.

FOURTH SESSION! Yes, fourth!  I love spending time with this woman so very much!

First, here’s what she had to say in our Private Facebook Group (You can join us there!):

Round 5 ……… I’m sure we can come up with a crazy new adventure to embark on !

Here’s the feedback she sent me about her session!

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  4 years ago I decided to finally do something for myself. I had followed the page for a while and decided to take the leap. Now every year i renew myself confidence and continue to show myself how freaking awesome I am.

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  Great ! I wouldn’t have said that 4 years ago …… but Maura has taught me to love me no matter my size or shape. Not that the number matters but I am 50 lbs heavier now than I was in that original shoot. And I love the person I am now more than I ever have.

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  Rejuvenated! A day with Maura is good for the soul. The 2 of us always seem to find adventure around every corner during our shoots together. We laugh, we smile, we get popsicles ( you had to be there ).

4) Describe your session in 3 words?  Invigorating. Hilarious adventurous

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir photo shoot?  Just going with the flow…….. of Maura suggests it and sees a vision ….. I just do it !! It’s so worth it. I trust her eye !

6) What value do you think a boudoir session brings to your life and the community of women you support? It is such an uplifting day. Confidence boosting. It’s helping women feel great about the body they are in. And the community of women you meet along the way have become life long friends

7) What would you say to other women who are considering a boudoir photo shoot?  Don’t wait ! All of your reasons for holding back are just excuses. You are perfect the way you are now ! Once you do it you will be addicted and you will love the way it makes you feel.

I met this amazing and remarkable woman a few years ago.  We were both participating at an event at Levana Bratique here in the Pittsburgh area that was focused on pampering women.  When I started talking with her, her heart poured out of her, her love to support and serve, her kindness and generosity – every thing exuded out of her.  She lit up a room.

What gets her excited?  Periods.  Yup, that taboo topic that most people don’t like to talk about.  Well, she faces that head on!  Her goals are very simple:  End period poverty, give dignity to all who menstruate, and provide period products upon asking, no explanation needed.  She’s been known to walk the streets and hand out period products to homeless folks so they are never in need of a basic necessity.

Prior to meeting her, I never thought about how there are so many people that need these products that don’t have easy access to them.  That’s my privilege loud and clear there.  I take for granted that when my period starts, I have everything I need to manage that time of the month.  Now that I know better, I will do better.  I will use my privilege to help those that don’t have that privilege.

I personally have supported her endeavor and I know that she’s going to change the world with her mission.  She was recently tasked to provide a refugee family with over 400 period products, and with the help of her community, she was able to do that!  I am proud to say that my community came together when we shared about this to help in her efforts.  I am so grateful and thankful for a community that supports these kind of missions and jumps in as soon as a need is identified.

The world changes, lives are changed, when women come together to support other women!

I finally had her here for a boudoir session, and she’s pretty much a SUPERMODEL! Am I right?!? Check it out!
