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!!!

Pittsburgh is For Lovers

I don’t have enough words to put in this post to explain how wonderful Emily and Evan are – they are just fantastic!!!  Emily was a bridesmaid in Shelby and Brian’s wedding that we did on New Years Eve (it was a blast)!  Fast forward a few years, Emily wanted Pics By Chicks for her wedding without even having an official meeting with me!  I love the connections I can make in just a short amount of time.

There are two things evident about Emily & Evan – their love for each other and their love for Pittsburgh.  Their engagement session was set with Pittsburgh as the backdrop from up on Mt Washington!  The genuine love and happiness that I got to capture that day is what makes my heart soar – they looked so natural, so comfortable with each other, so absolutely wonderful in every way!

They will be getting married in just a few short weeks and I can’t wait to see the joy and happiness of that day!

Emily & Evan – getting to know you has been a treat for me.  Your wedding will no doubt be spectacular!

They popped a little champagne!

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!

1) Why did you decide to invest in a boudoir photo shoot?  doing a boudoir shoot was something I’ve always wanted to experience for myself. I was too intimidated to Actually do it until I found you, maura. I’ve always been insecure about my body. ive always been curvy and never felt comfortable enough to embrace what i got. my husband who I’ve been with since I was 15, he’s loved me through all my awkward years haha. I wanted to see myself the way he sees me. this was a gift for his birthday but also for me. something i can look back at and be proud of.
