She Didn't Feel Sexy {Minneapolis Diaries} ~ International Boudoir Photographer

minneapolis boudoirMiss A and I spent a lot of time together while in Minneapolis because she wanted to put herself into her clients' shoes, but also she wanted to get her mentorship on!  I had the pleasure of photographing her in my gorgeous AirBNB and then hanging with her at her awesome Minneapolis studio!  This babe was nervous, but also incredibly saucy once we started shooting!  She totally gets my mission and promotes the same female empowerment at her boudoir studio, focusing on shooting ladies with curves.  Both of us talked about how it was important for there to be diversity of body types in the media, and since we are technically the "media" we could help make this change!  So, without further adieu, here is Miss A and her beautiful story.minneapolis boudoir photographyI loved the experience and just the feeling of confidence afterwards and knowing that I have done this not only for myself but also for my clients when I photograph them. minneapolis boudoir photographyI was so scared and nervous and seriously thought that she couldn't bring out sexy in me because I don't feel that way... I sometimes feel cute or silly but not sexy and beautiful. And to be okay with my body, which is a size 28 and to actually see it being strong and holding those poses {which were hard work) and yet I could do it even at my size!minneapolis boudoir photography minneapolis boudoir photographyOverall, the experience really had me thinking and re-evaluating my body and how I perceive myself! Thank you for letting me see a different side of me and pushing me out of my comfort zone!minneapolis boudoir photography minneapolis boudoir photography minneapolis boudoir photographyNot only did this babe kill it, but she now knows exactly what her clients feel: before, during, and after the shoot.  You can see Miss A's own bog post about her experience here!  I cannot wait to see her business grow!  This is why I love, love, love to do mentorships (or teritorials as I call them)!!  I, as one person, can only empower so many people, but if I can mentor and educate photographers to help them go forth and empower women, then so many more women will have their lives changed!! So, if you are a photographer wanting to impact more women and do more with your business, let me know or if you are a client who is ready to take the leap and do something you will NEVER regret, shoot me an email!
