Miss T.’s Boudoir Testimonial | Even Better in Person

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

How did you hear about Holly Douglas Boudoir? 

A friend of mine referred her.

Why did you choose Holly Douglas Boudoir for your session? 

Her website. I was going through photos and fell in love with her personality just by reading through her website.

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

I took boudoir photos for my husband as a gift for our 1st anniversary. We have 3 kids and have been married 14 years now, so I had been going back and forth with doing another session. Once I saw her website, I knew I had to do it. It was meant to be.

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

I was extremely nervous. I was nervous I would be so awkward and uncomfortable and that it would show in the photos. I was also nervous that I wouldn’t love seeing my body in photos, that I would be too critical of myself and be self-conscious.

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

As soon as I walked in the door and met Holly, I felt comfortable. Her personality in person is just like she comes across on her website. She made me feel like a total babe. During the session, she would cheer and high five me when she got a good shot. She even showed me some of the photos during the session, which ultimately made me more confident and comfortable.

What was your favorite part of the experience and why? 

I don’t think I can pick one favorite because the entire experience was amazing. I loved getting my hair and makeup done onsite so I didn’t have to worry about messing anything up during travel. I brought my own lingerie options but ended up using Holly’s selections. I loved that she had so many available options and she ultimately told me which ones to wear for photos. I would have never been able to decide on my own and I love how honest she was with me about what worked and what didn’t. I also loved that everything was done in one day, in one location, including the review of photos.

How did you feel during your session? 

I was nervous at first but that quickly went away. By the end of it, I felt like a bombshell.

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

I cried. I felt beautiful, sexy, and so grateful I decided to do the photoshoot.

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

My confidence has grown so much since my session, and even more-so now that I’ve seen the final photos. I’ve had three kids. I’m 37. Yet somehow Holly managed to make me feel confident about my imperfections during the shoot and she captured me in the most beautiful, raw way. I’ve never seen myself the way I see myself now when I look at these photos.

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

I get it. It’s hard to let your guard down and be vulnerable, especially for women when it comes to our bodies. But we do hard things. Our bodies do hard things. Women are amazing. Own it. It’s totally normal to be nervous and shy, but I promise you won’t feel that way for long once you start shooting with Holly. Girlfriend knows what she is doing and she is damn good at it! Take that leap of faith. You won’t regret it.

Thank you for sharing your boudoir experience testimonial, Miss T.!

Now is the time for YOU to take that leap of faith, too!
