Honestly, I feel empowered.

I'm a 34 year old single mom of 3 with a pretty outgoing personality and I'm an assistant manager at Ross.

I've always wanted to do a boudoir session but never felt "pretty enough" to do one. It wasn't until my separation that I got the courage to do it. I wanted to document a milestone of

taking back my life.

Before my session I was very nervous, I kept thinking of

peoples reactions running through my mind.

After conversations started with Molly (photographer) and Claire (makeup artist) I eventually started relaxing.

A moment that sticks out to me is looking at myself for the first time after make up.

I didn't expect to become so relaxed and feeling sexy.

Immediately after my session I was just anxious to see the outcome!

And how do I feel even days after my session?

Honestly, I feel empowered.

If you're thinking about doing a boudoir session, you should really do it at least once. You don't have to be naked.

Molly kept everything very professional and made me feel beautiful.
