Miss A.’s Boudoir Testimonial | Getting Naked on the Third “Date”

We at Holly Douglas & Co. believe that EVERY woman should experience a boudoir photoshoot at least once in her lifetime. We love empowering women and boosting their self-confidence through the art of boudoir photography! Of course, people expect to hear that from us, the boudoir photographers, because we do this for a living. A boudoir experience testimonial written by a past client who has actually had a boudoir session, on the other hand, is much more convincing! For this reason, Holly Douglas & Co. proudly features a new Boudoir Testimonial each week on our blog. 🙂

This week’s boudoir experience testimonial comes from the gorgeous Miss A., who was photographed at our luxury boudoir studio in downtown Nashville, Tennessee!

How did you hear about Holly Douglas Boudoir? 

The first time was through a friend, but I’ve had a total of three sessions now.

Why did you choose Holly Douglas Boudoir for your session? 

I’ve chosen Holly to do all of my sessions because she is so good at making me feel confident, yet relaxed enough to show my body – flaws and all. She is so good at helping you do these poses, and when you’re finished, it doesn’t even look like you.

What made you decide to take the leap of faith and do a boudoir session? 

I’ve already had two other sessions, but this one was different for me since I did some nude photos. I’d never done those before. I wanted to do this particular boudoir session as a 15-year anniversary gift to my husband.

Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about? 

I was nervous for this shoot since I’d never done one with nude images before. I was the most nervous about showing more of my flaws than I show when I have lingerie on.

Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves? 

I definitely became more comfortable after the shoot started, but I always do. Holly is wonderful about helping me relax and loosen up once we get started. I always have an amazing experience when I do a boudoir session with her!

What was your favorite part of the experience and why? 

My favorite part of the experience is always looking at the finished images and seeing how amazing Holly makes me look in photos compared to how I look in everyday life. I’m always amazed at how she manages to make me look so different, so beautiful, and so confident, even if I don’t feel like that in real life.

How did you feel during your session? 

I felt amazing and had a lot of fun with Holly, which I always do. I was relaxed after the first few photos were done, and I felt beautiful and confident.

Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.

I was shocked and amazed that I was looking at pictures of myself.

How has your relationship with your body changed since your session? 

I will still always have moments of low self esteem since I have a history of past trauma, but I definitely have more love for my body after my session than I did before. Holly is very good at building women up, especially during and after their session. She’s very good at helping you erase any doubts you have about yourself.

What would you say to people who say they can’t do a boudoir session because they are too shy, nervous, etc? 

I would say to them that of course it’s ok to be nervous, but don’t let that stop you from taking this amazing opportunity to take gorgeous and sexy photos of yourself. Holly is a wonderful photographer who will do everything to make you feel confident, beautiful and sexy by the time she’s finished with your session! Just take the plunge and you’ll be glad you did!

Anything else you’d like to add? 

I’m so very thankful for all three sessions I’ve had with Holly! I’ve loved every second of my boudoir sessions, and every photo I’ve chosen with Holly’s help turned out amazing. The albums are gorgeous and the metal print is beautiful.

Thank you for sharing this boudoir experience testimonial, Miss A.!
