Today we are featuring Miss S. on the blog and we are so excited to share about her boudoir session!

We love sharing about our client’s boudoir sessions in their own words, so here’s what Miss S. had to say!

This boudoir session was a self-care gift for myself that has been long overdue. I needed a boost in my confidence and a shift in my perception of self in order to continue my journey of self love. Originally, I thought I might gift these to my husband for Christmas but after my reveal, it became clear that this was not about him at all and it was 100% for me.

My session was powerful- in so many ways. It was an investment in self-care that I have been needing and wanting to make for a really long time. Adrian made me feel relaxed and comfortable the entire time and coached me through the entire session. She was positive and super helpful in keeping my confidence high.

My makeup and hair were stunning- exactly what I wanted. Sarah was easy to work with, flexible and super Covid conscious. She easily adjusted my lip color when I wasn’t in love with the finished product and it ended up being perfection.

Side note- it was a tricky day and Adrian was under a lot of stress but didn’t show it at all. Super professional and makeuped and mommed like a champ – would definitely work with her again!

I wanted to bring some sexy back in my life and holy smokes we nailed it! I wanted to bring love back to my body that I haven’t felt in a long time- I wanted to fall back in love with every curve and inch of me that I’ve learned to dislike over the years. The photos brought me to tears as I couldn’t believe who I saw- a confident, sexy, carefree woman I thought I “used” to be but definitely am rocking those vibes now.

In the weeks and months leading up to the session, I was really anxious about my outfits and what I was going to wear and where I was going to buy it. I also felt like I was a bride getting ready for a wedding and trying to make sure that my hair and nails and clothes and everything was just perfect. Had I known this session was going to be so enjoyable and relaxed, I definitely would not have worried as much as I did. Once I got into the studio immediately felt relaxed. It’s a really calming environment and Adrian’s personality is relatable and it makes you forget you’re sitting there half naked in front of a stranger. I actually was really sad as the session came to an end… I could’ve stayed there another few hours it was so fun!

My favorite part of the boudoir session was seeing snapshots of my photos in between poses… It really boosted my confidence and got me excited to try more and more poses. I loved seeing what my body was capable of and getting me out of my comfort zone.

And the location was actually perfectly aligned to my life because I used to live in Merchantville when I met Adrian- I have since moved on to Pittsburgh but South Jersey holds a place in my heart.

We always ask clients if they have any advice for people thinking about a boudoir session and Miss S. had some great advice:

Celebrate yourself and remind yourself you are worth all of this- the pampering, the session, the beautiful photos- you deserve it all. Try not to overthink and just be yourself- Adrian handles all of the details.
