I leave today’s blog post in her own words:

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  I joined Maura’s VIP Facebook group for seeing the photography side of things first but the longer I was in the group, the more I tossed around the idea of wanting to come from behind the camera and get in front of it! I LOVED Maura’s work, her editing, her styling — everything! I continued to drag my feet about booking & when Maura ran the free styling promotion, I decided this was “my sign” to finally book a shoot! I decided this would be a great 30th birthday present to myself(& a great anniversary present to my husband a few months later!)!

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  Indifferent. I know that my body has been in better shape but I’m not unhappy with it either! I wear pretty casual attire at work & don’t dress up very often outside of work so I’m usually not “showing off” my body. I also do not consider myself someone who is particularly photogenic so I was a little nervous about how I would look in the photos.

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  Fantastic! I didn’t think I had low confidence prior but I felt so invigorated after my session, I’m still riding that high! I have read so many testimonials on here about people whose confidence skyrockets & I truly didn’t think that would be me so I was kinda surprised in myself to leave my session feeling recharged & reenergized! After seeing my photos, I was floored at how amazing they turned out! I knew Maura took incredible photos but to see how they translated for me, I was ecstatic!!

4) Describe your session in 3 words?  SO. MUCH. FUN!!!!!!

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir photo shoot?  Maura, duh!!! From the second you arrive, it’s like you’ve known Maura for years. As someone who is super busy with my job, it was so nice to not have to think for literally the entire process. Maura styled my session, gave amazing direction at the shoot & made me feel SO comfortable through everything! Not to mention, she’s HILARIOUS…I could have hung out with her all day!

6) What would you say to other women who are considering a boudoir photo shoot?  DO IT! I dragged my feet for awhile and in the end, I am SO GLAD I did it! It was a BLAST to do & I would do another session again in a heartbeat! I lucked out & got a styling promotion with Maura when I booked but I would totally PAY for that again! It was so nice not having to search for lingerie & stress about what I was going to wear to my session…I showed up & Maura had everything ready for me & it all looked amazing on!!!

Today on the blog I feature an amazing woman who took a leap into a life changing boudoir!  I love seeing those happy and confident faces leaving from their sessions ready to conquer the world!

This blog post is all in my client’s words – here’s what she had to say:

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  I was trying to get my life back on track. I started to see a dr about my weight, and just my health in general. While there the dr was talking about my “apron”. I never felt so ashamed of the way I looked. I went home and of course cried and my husband cheared me up. He made a couple comments about how he loved the way I looked and so on. However, later that night it finally hit me. I do look freaking good for having 4 kids and a busy life. My 10 year anniversary was coming up, so I thought what a gift for myself and husband.. a boudoir photo shoot!!!

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  I was extremely uncomfortable with my stomach and thighs. I was worried, I would look heavier or as my dr called it my “apron” would show. My husband never even sees my in lingerea, how could I stand in front of a camera. I just kept thinking of the night I finally realized, I look hot to my husband. So who cares what others think!

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  Wow!! Maura just confirmed how I should feel about myself! I am freaking hot!! The self esteem boost was like a lifetime supply of Prozac!!

4) Describe your session in 3 words?  It was AMAZING So freaking uplifting

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir photo shoot?  How well that I connected with Maura. Right away she makes you feel comfortable. It was almost like we were friends forever, and I could do or tell her anything.

6) What would you say to other women who are considering a boudoir photo shoot?  Just do it!!! Do not worry about any imperfections you feel you have. Maura’s magic is real!! You will walk out of your session feeling like a new person. The end result… will be stunning!!!

Multiple boudoir shoots? YES PLEASE!!!!  It is possible to do more than 1 shoot.  Some clients come every year for their Maura Pick Me Up!

It’s always a treat for me when a client comes in for another shoot!  I love that clients want to experience boudoir over and over again!  I’m even thinking about making a re-booking incentive that I offer to clients during their viewing & ordering appointment.  I was so happy to have this beautiful woman back.

Today, I leave the blog to her…here’s what she said about her shoot:

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  This was my second shoot as it was an amazing experience last time for my husband. This boudoir shoot was for me and was an absolute delight. I wanted to see myself as everyone sees me.

2) How did you feel about yourself before your photo shoot?  I was really struggling with my image and confidence. I had let myself go physically over the holidays and since my husband had surgery. I’ve been taking care of him and not really focusing on myself. I was feeling very insignificant.  

3) How did you feel about yourself after your photo shoot?  I always leave these shoots in an awesome state of mind. My confidence goes through the roof and I feel fierce and like I could do anything. These photos reflect how I want to look and feel all the time. 

4) Describe your session in 3 words?  Liberating. Empowering. FUN!!!

5) What was your favorite part of the boudoir photo shoot?  Getting closer to Maura. Being able to talk about life challenges and life goals makes the shoot even more special. She lets you know just how amazing you are. You learn not to take yourself too serious and learn to enjoy the process.

6) What would you say to other women who are considering a boudoir photo shoot?  It is a must. Not for anybody else but yourself. You can say that it is for your significant other or whatnot, but it 100% turns out to be about you! The shoot experience is one that every single person can appreciate. If you can not think of a reason to do it, know that you will gain a friend for life. This woman is beyond a great friend and confidant. She is one of the most talented, upbeat photographers I know. You can not have a bad time with her. These photos bring out something in you that you may never have thought was there. And sometimes truly turn out better than what is in the magazines! Boudoir needs to be on your bucket list and it needs to be crossed off sooner rather than later!
