R&S: What made you decide on doing a boudoir session?
Ms. C: I had seen some boudoir on social media, and thought I’d like to give it a try.
R&S: How did you decide on what to wear? Did you have any meaningful accessories?
Ms. C: I had a few pieces already, so I just used what was in my drawer. The accessories I used were just ones that I had. None were sentimental.
R&S: Let’s talk about the day of the shoot. Were you nervous? How did you feel being in front of the camera? Did it take you very long to get comfortable?
Ms. C: I was a little nervous at first. I don’t feel I’m very photogenic per se. So I was worried I would look bad. It didn’t take long to feel okay wearing very little clothing. It felt pretty natural after awhile.
R&S: Tell me about the experience you had during the session. Were the poses what you expected? Did you have fun?
Ms. C: The poses were fun. As I had no previous experience, I had no real expectations. It was fun once I felt comfortable.
R&S: Were you sore the next day from the poses?
Ms. C: I wasn’t sore at all.
R&S: What were your first thoughts when you saw your images? Have you noticed a mental shift in the way you view your body since then?
Ms. C: I was very happy with the images. My view of my body has shifted towards being more body confident.
R&S: Do you have any advice or tips for ladies who are thinking about doing a session?
Ms. C: Just do it. Go out of your comfort zone and try something that pushes your own boundaries. Be sure to eat something!!
R&S: What was your absolute favorite part of the experience?
Ms. C: My favorite part was all of the positive feedback. And beautiful images I get to look back on.
