Guest Boudoir Blog - Erin's Story
Take a look at a boudoir blog from one of our own clients! Get to know Erin and her boudoir story.
Erin, like most women, has never felt completely comfortable in her own skin. In her own words, “I never felt like I was particularly attractive”. Obviously—as you can tell from her images—she is a drop-dead gorgeous woman. Despite this, she still struggled with the insecurities we all struggle through. She asked herself the age-old question: “Why can’t I see myself as my loved ones claim to see me—beautiful?”
Thankfully, Erin found the courage to set out on her boudoir journey and finally obtain the proof of the beauty she could not see was there. She has gone from “I never felt attractive” to “I look at my photos on bad days and am reminded I am an amazing and beautiful person!”
Here at Jennifer Daniels Photography, we have had the honor of having a boudoir shoot with Erin twice. Just like most of our clients, she was a nervous wreck before her first session and although she was prepared the second time around, she still had to fight through her nerves. According to Erin,
“I was extremely nervous before my first session. I was shaking I was so nervous! The second time I was still nervous, but more excited nerves. Since I knew more of what to expect, there was less anxiety about that and more anxiety about how the pictures were going to turn out this time, as the first session gave a lot to live up to!”
In both of her sessions, listening to the step-by-step instructions and encouragement eased her nerves in no time. Erin says,
“As soon as the sessions started, the nerves started to melt away. Jennifer has this way about her that just makes you so comfortable. You just feel absolutely stunning when you’re done!!”
Erin bravely powered through her nerves about the session and left feeling amazing. All that was left was to come back and view them. Easy, right? Wrong. A lot of times we hear clients say that they are more nervous for their image reveal than they are for their session! In day-to-day life as women we are so busy running around taking care of everyone else, by the time our picture gets taken we are lucky to love even one of them. Having 100+ breathtakingly beautiful images right in front of us can be hard to imagine. Making this dream become a reality for women is our mission.
Hearing women like Erin say, “I was absolutely in awe when I viewed my images from both sessions for the first time. It’s amazing when it finally hits in your mind and heart that these are you- this is how someone sees you! Jennifer helped show me that,” is an unparalleled honor. Our goal is to make sure all of our clients leave feeling that way!
There are so few things in this world that only get more and more valuable over time, and boudoir is definitely one of them. The prints we offer are made to last lifetimes, and although we believe they are AMAZING, they are not even the best part. The best part is the feeling the images give you. When checking in with Erin now, she says,
“Boudoir has definitely changed how I feel!! I couldn’t believe how amazing I felt about myself during and after the shoot. And it lasted! Jennifer and her girls are the ultimate hype team when it comes to making clients feel absolutely drop dead gorgeous. It is sometimes still hard to reconcile the fact that the person in the photos is indeed me. Whenever I am feeling not so great about myself, I’ll go look at my photos to remind me that I am indeed beautiful”
If you want to feel like Erin but are still struggling to believe the same could happen for you, she has a message for you. In her own words,
“Please don’t wait to do a boudoir session. Don’t worry about bellies, or stretch marks or anything. Don’t worry that you won’t know how to pose- Jennifer and her team will lead and teach you!! I was so worried that my belly would look weird, or my thighs would be too much- no. They just made the photos better, because they’re a part of me, and Jennifer and her team helped me see that. You don’t need to lose weight or anything like that to do boudoir. Because you are gorgeous, just the way you are!! Make the time to love on yourself and be loved on by Jennifer and her team. It is worth every single minute and penny, and I will never stop saying that!!”
We want to help every woman feel the way Erin does now!
