Ms. Y came into her boudoir session with an open mind and a quiet kind of strength – the kind that grows over years of learning to love yourself more deeply. A mom of two and a first-time boudoir client, she wasn’t sure what to expect, but she was sure of one thing: she was ready to do something just for her.
“Fabulous!!” she said when asked how her session went. And honestly? That’s our favorite kind of summary.
From the moment she arrived, we could tell Ms. Y was leaning in. No rigid expectations. No demands on herself to look or pose a certain way. Just a willingness to be in the moment – and that’s where the magic really starts.
“I liked that I went in with an open mind and not wanting specific things. I think it made the session more fun.”
The part that hit her hardest? Seeing her photos for the first time.
“The best part was seeing the photos at the end and how amazing they turned out!”
And while she’s keeping her images private (for now), they’ve become a powerful reminder of what she’s accomplished and who she’s becoming.
“I feel proud of myself. Proud of the hard work I put into keeping myself fit. Proud of what I look like after having two children. Proud of my confidence level having gone up in the last 5 years.”
That pride – that earned, embodied pride – is exactly what we want every client to feel when they leave our studio. For Ms. Y, it wasn’t about being “seen” by the world. It was about seeing herself with new eyes.
Her post-session body confidence? An 8 out of 10 – an amazing number for someone doing this for the first time. And according to her, we made it easy to feel that way:
“Alisha and her team are wonderful. From start to finish I felt like I was meant to be there. Hair and makeup got me first—she was super friendly and talked the whole time, making me feel comfortable and more relaxed. Her assistant was so funny and very helpful. I think I laughed most of the time. They are a great team!”
She noticed everything—from the way we kept the energy flowing to the consistent encouragement after every pose. No awkward silences, no judgment—just a supportive, empowering vibe from beginning to end.
“The consistency of ‘let’s try this’ kept a flow and made for no awkward empty time. I for sure will recommend Alisha to friends—and maybe even get to do another session with her.”
Ms. Y, we’d be honored to have you back anytime. Thank you for letting us be part of your self-love journey – and for reminding us that confidence doesn’t come from a perfect pose. It comes from pride. From growth. From saying, this is me – and I love what I see.
