Miss K.’s Boudoir Testimonial | Capturing My “Before Baby” Body

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 K., who was photographed at our luxury boudoir studio in downtown Nashville, Tennessee!

How did you hear about Holly Douglas Boudoir? 

I found Holly on Instagram.

Why did you choose Holly Douglas Boudoir for your session? 

Holly’s portfolio on Instagram was just amazing!

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

I wanted to capture my “before baby” body and surprise my husband with an album for our 5th wedding anniversary (we’ve been together for 11 years)! Thought this would be a fun way to surprise him.

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

Yes, extremely. I think nervous and excited could be used synonymously in the instance. But I’ve never been a “sexual” person or felt sexy, so this was completely out of my comfort zone.

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

Absolutely! Holly was very personable during the hair and makeup session, which helped stifle my nerves and made it feel like just a girls’ day.

What was your favorite part of the experience and why? 

Holly made my hair look AMAZING! It just gave me that extra glam feeling. I need all of the products that she used.

How did you feel during your session? 

Posing was a little difficult. She’s not joking when she says to stretch the week of your shoot!

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

Oh. My. God. Partly couldn’t believe it was me, and partly couldn’t take my eyes off myself

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

I’m still on my way towards my goal weight, but I was 20 lbs down when I had the shoot, and the photos helped me see the “pretty” side of my body rather than focusing on all the details that I don’t like.

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

Do it! You will not regret the decision to embrace yourself!

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