Miss A. Shares What Her Boudoir Photography Session Was Really Like | The Grey Room at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale near Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert AZ

This boudoir client interview with Miss A. is the reason I think sharing is so important! For that, I am forever grateful to be able to spotlight her experience!

In her interview, she reveals having a lot of questions at first. She talks about reading and seeing other everyday women doing it. It didn’t matter what shape or size they were. They were doing it and walking away feeling really good about themselves. That’s what helped her finally do it for herself! She committed to the process, trusted our team, and was reminded before and during the session that she could do this, too!

My hope is that reading about her boudoir journey can do the same for you because booking a boudoir session could quite possibly be one of the best gifts you could ever give yourself!

Read on to see what it was like for Miss A. to have her very own boudoir session at our boudoir studio in Old Town Scottsdale Arizona.

Miss A. says “How was I going to be so vulnerable in front of someone I barely knew? How was I going to choose the right look I wanted? Was it going to be awkward? What if I didn't feel sexy or confident and it showed…

Miss A. Shares What is was like to have her very own boudoir session with bella jade boudoir in scottsdale, arizona

Every woman has their own reasons for doing a boudoir shoot, but mostly I think women want to feel good in their bodies. They want to love themselves more no matter what shape or size they may be at the time. They want to see the beauty others see in them — feel all sexy and empowered!

Our Scottsdale boudoir photo sessions have proven time and time again that this experience really can change the way you see yourself as well as help you learn to be more confident in your own skin. I love it when I get to share boudoir client interviews with you because it allows you to see women (who also were a little nervous at first), showing up for themselves and honestly having a good time!

If you've been putting off booking a boudoir session, I encourage you to take in all of the insight and advice from our previous clients as you can! You can find them in our boudoir client interviews (like this one), reviews, comments in our private VIP group, or directly from a friend who has already had a shoot with Bella Jade. This can help ease your worries and give you the courage to finally try it for yourself.

Miss A. says…

“How was I going to be so vulnerable in front of someone I barely knew? How was I going to choose the right look I wanted? Was it going to be awkward? What if I didn't feel sexy or confident and it showed? Christina and Leah were so amazing. From the moment I walked in the door, there was just a fun and relaxing vibe. We got the music going and the fun just kept going. It was absolutely freeing! After finally experiencing this I don't know Why I was so afraid and didn't do this sooner.”

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

I have wanted to do something like this for quite some time. I wanted to be able to learn to love my body. I stumbled across Bella Jade on Instagram. I loved seeing all the different women being shown and reading up on their experiences. All of these things finally helped me go for it!

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

I read up on the website. After seeing many amazing reviews and being able to "see" the team I felt a bit more at ease. It helped to put a face to some of the people that I might meet or work with. Plus all the raving reviews from "normal" women just like me made it all the more welcoming.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I find in some ways I have gained a bit more confidence. It's still a work in progress but I'm definitely on the right track. This was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. I left on a high ready to schedule another session!

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

Absolutely! How was I going to be so vulnerable in front of someone I barely knew? How was I going to choose the right look I wanted? Was it going to be awkward? What if I didn't feel sexy or confident and it showed? Christina and Leah were so amazing. From the moment I walked in the door, there was just a fun and relaxing vibe. We got the music going and the fun just kept going. It was absolutely freeing! After finally experiencing this I don't know Why I was so afraid and didn't do this sooner.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

Too many to pick just one! The fun and chilled atmosphere that Christina created. She is such a wonderful and fun person to be around. She doesn't make you do anything you're uncomfortable with. She doesn't just tell you how to pose, she gets down and does it with you! She knows how to make you feel beautiful and confident.

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own Scottsdale boudoir photo shoot?

Don't overthink it! You can absolutely do this. You're already amazing and beautiful. Let Christina capture your inner goddess you won't be disappointed.

Miss T. Celebrates turning 50 with Her Very Own Boudoir Photo Shoot at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale Arizona | After The Session Interview

To celebrate her 50th birthday Miss T. decided to book a boudoir session with us at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale. This was something she knew would have to be on her bucket list no matter how scary it seemed — She would later find that doing this session had in fact made a positive impact on her self esteem and gave her a huge sense of pride. Looking back at these photos is now something she finds encouraging, empowering, and uses it as a reminder for herself that we are capable of amazing things if we can set aside what we’re afraid of, believe in ourselves, and are willing to step outside of our comfort zones.

For her boudoir session Miss T. booked The Grey Room in Scottsdale and wore a variety of outfits from sweet, subtlety seductive to something more ris·qué including topless with a white button down shirt. In her after the session interview she talks about how her most nerve wracking outfit ended up being in one of her favorite pics.

She shares her experience in this boudoir interview *Shared with her permission.

She says “Words can not express the amazing experience I had.  Turning 50 at the end of 2022 and being body shamed since I was 12 this was something I have wanted to do for years but was so afraid to.  Made it a bucket list item and signed up.  I did my research on other photographers but following Christina on social media I got the feeling she truly cared and understood that not all women are built the same and we have our insecurities.  I was right the moment I walked in the door the day of the shoot I felt like I was hanging out with old friends just catching up and having a great time.  Then when I saw the completed pics all my previous worries went away and I am completely proud of myself for doing this.  If this is something you are wanting to do I highly recommend reaching out to The Bella Jade Collection.”

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

Completing a childhood dream and turning 50. So happy that I was able to complete this bucket list item.

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Scottsdale Arizona boudoir experience?

Found The Bella Jade Collection on Facebook and Instagram and started following. I really liked the photos and the inspirational messages that were sent out. Not all women are built the same and it felt like Christina truly understood that.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I am a work in progress. Completing this photo shoot had me face a fear and anytime I start to forget I always look at one of my pics from the shoot and its a reminder of who I am and what I can do.

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

So many fears going into this even during the shoot there was an outfit I was terrified of the way the pics would turn out. I am so glad I continued with my outfit as one of the most terrifying outfits are one of my favorite pics. I actually don't think I would have done anything differently.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

The girls (makeup artist and Christina) making it from the beginning like we were old friends just hanging out and having a good time.

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?

DO IT!! This is for YOU and no one else. Don't worry about what people will think or say about you completing this. Your dreams are yours and no one has the right to take that away from you.

Would you recommend The Bella Jade Collection to a friend?

100% would recommend The Bella Jade Collection!

Miss W.'s Bella Jade Boudoir Photography Experience | Phoenix Boudoir Photographer in Old Town Scottsdale AZ |

I wish I could say that doing a boudoir session is an easy YES for everyone, because I wholeheartedly believe in boudoir and what it can do for you. Though — the truth is that it is not uncommon for women to put off doing a shoot like this.

Not only can it be incredibly intimidating at first, but it takes courage to confront your own doubts and body insecurities. For some a boudoir session can challenge the way they see themselves. While that journey can empower confidence it isn’t always easy to show up all in, right away.

If you’ve been putting off booking your very own boudoir session or are already on our schedule but looking for encouragement and advice then you’ve made it to the right place.

Miss W. was kind enough to allow us to share her after the session interview along with some of her boudoir photos taken in The Grey Room at our Scottsdale studios.

Here is what she has to say about her own self love journey and what she discovered during her boudoir photography experience with us at Bella Jade Boudoir.

“ … I never imagined that I would be walking into a place where I was accepted and encouraged and celebrated-- my fears left me somewhere around the time that my hair was done being curled! I wish that I had done it sooner. ”

Miss W. says…

“ … I never imagined that I would be walking into a place where I was accepted and encouraged and celebrated-- my fears left me somewhere around the time that my hair was done being curled! I wish that I had done it sooner. ”

Miss W. came in to our Scottsdale boudoir studio wanting to gift her husband a boudoir album for their 20th anniversary. She was honest to admit that she had wanted to do a boudoir shoot for years prior to booking her session with us. On multiple occasions she had chatted it over with her friends, knowing she just had to do this one day, and even still, talked herself out of it and into it over and over until finally taking the leap.

I wish I could say that doing a boudoir photography session is an easy YES for everyone because I wholeheartedly believe in boudoir and what it can do for you. Though — the truth is that it is not uncommon for women to put off doing a shoot like this.

Not only can it be incredibly intimidating at first, but it takes courage to confront your own doubts and body insecurities. For some a boudoir session can challenge the way they see themselves. While that journey can empower confidence it isn’t always easy to show up all in, right away.

I share this openly with you because we want you to know that you are not alone in feeling like this and it’s ok to start before you are fully ready.

We want you to know that with the support of our all female team a little bravery, belief in yourself, and the encouragement/advice from inspiring clients like Miss W. , you too can do something like this and walk away feeling more confident.

If you’ve been putting off booking your very own boudoir session or are already on our schedule but looking for encouragement and advice you’ve made it to the right place.

Miss W. was kind enough to allow us to share her after the session interview along with some of her boudoir photos. Here is what she has to say about her self love journey and experience at Bella Jade Boudoir.

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

I've wanted to do one for years but this year was my 20th wedding anniversary, so it seemed like a good time to get brave and do it already!

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?

I Googled and researched all of the photographers within a few hours from my house. I was very reassured that the reviews were consistently great and everyone seemed to really love Christina. Truthfully what sealed the deal for me were pictures of The Grey Room. I loved the way it looked and wanted to do my pictures there.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I am very much a "Work-in-progress"! I am good at talking the talk but not walking the walk. Doing this boudoir shoot really did help me see myself in a new way and gave me a huge boost of confidence in myself.

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

My fear was mostly that I am plus-sized and I felt really unsure if it would be worth it because I am not thin and perky. I never imagined that I would be walking into a place where I was accepted and encouraged and celebrated-- my fears left me somewhere around the time that my hair was done being curled! I wish that I had done it sooner. I wouldn't change anything else about this experience.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

My favorite part of the experience was Christina and Heidi's reactions when I came out in my last outfit. It was an open button-up shirt and I was feeling insecure about my breasts sagging so I used kinesiology tape to tape them up and create cleavage. It caught them off guard which caught me off guard and we all laughed and it was a really empowering moment for me. I was encouraged to do what made me feel comfortable and we got some really great pictures as a result! My second favorite part was picking up the book that I ordered and seeing it for the first time.

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?

Don't think too hard about the outfits that you picked out. Go with the ones you like the most and 3 or 4 outfits is perfect. You will change positions constantly and end up with a ton of great shoots to choose from. Also, just do it already! Looking back I wish I had done this years ago. Whatever excuses you are giving yourself to not book a session are probably fear-based. Once you do your boudoir session you will be so happy with the results! You are in good hands with Bella Jade!

Would you recommend The Bella Jade Collection to a friend?

Absolutely! I've been bragging to my friends (the same friends who have heard me talk about boudoir on and off for years now). It's a special thing to be able to be vulnerable in front of strangers knowing that the result will be —

1) fun and just what you were looking for

2) actually good photography (Christina knows her stuff!); and

3) a very high quality book that I can show off.

Miss L. Shares her Scottsdale Boudoir Photography Experience | Best Boudoir Photographer in Phoenix Arizona serving Scottsdale, Gilbert, Mesa Phoenix AZ

Miss L. had done a boudoir photo shoot with us at our previous Gilbert studio location. Naturally, I couldn’t have been more excited to have her back for a session at one of our Scottsdale studios, The Grey Room. She didn’t disappoint in bringing her magnetic energy, incredible sense of humor, and spirit for life and self love.

She didn’t disappoint in bringing her magnetic energy, incredible sense of humor, and spirit for life and self love.

This time she showed up packing all that and some!

Miss L. says…

“This experience was exacty what I needed”

It was an energy that was something even more fierce — the desire to embody her authentic self unapologetically. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing this type of season in your life you know that it can be messy at time, a little broken, but incredibly liberating.

THIS is the kind of life-changing stuff I want for every woman that does a shoot with us. The kind of stuff that reminds you that you, too, are worth all of the love you give so freely to others.

Your gifts are valuable,

you are beautiful,

resillient,

everchanging,

and frankly quite incredible!

Celebrate every win and know that its OK to celebrate the in betweens too. We are all always a work in progress.

I am beyond proud of her for showing up all in, full of fire, and a new found love for who she has become.

After her boudoir session we asked her a few questions about what her boudoir experience was like at Bella Jade Boudoir. While, all of our clients are permitted to have their intimate photos remain private, Miss L. has so graciously allowed us to share some of hers here alongside her boudoir interview!

Boudoir Photo by Scottsdale Boudoir Photographer Bella Jade Boudoir

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

To capture the woman I am and remind myself that I am the driver in how I see myself.

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?

Christina is amazing!

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

Through all the struggles with my body image, self-confidence/self-worth, emotional stability, giving to all and leaving nothing left for myself, I lost sight of who I am. BUT...I am back with a fierce confidence and amazing self-worth that I lost because I was conforming into somebody's version of me that fit their needs; I may have been smiling but inside I was not. I know I still have room to continue to grow but like in the Pink song, "I am here..."

None - this experience was exactly what I needed and what I have overcame to get here was captured in the photos.

We take special care to coach you through it all so that you get the most out of your time with us and can feel more confident that you’ll love the final images.

Here a just a few of our tried and trusted poses that work well for most women and have become client fave’s here at our Scottsdale studios.

If you’re going into a boudoir photo shoot you may be wondering how to pose, or how to look good in photos. As you look for pose ideas keep in mind that while there are poses that flatter most body types, not all poses are one size fits all. Whether you’re petite, tall, full busted, curvy, or plus size — when you choose your Phoenix boudoir photographer it is a good idea to ask the photographer if they have experience posing women similar to your body type.

At Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale we’ve photographed hundreds of women over the years and know how to pose for many different body types and comfort levels.

We also talk through concerns you may have prior to your shoot including what you want to highlight in your photos as well as what you would rather de-emphasize. This helps us decide what will work best for YOU.

Miss C's Before and After Transformation at Bella Jade Boudoir | Best Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale, Arizona near Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, AZ

Honestly, before and after photos only skim the surface of the transformation that happens when you do a boudoir shoot at Bella Jade.

But I find it helpful for you to see them because these images are something that most of us can resonate with.

Think of it this way. The women we work with typically have never done anything like this before nor are models trained and experienced with being photographed in this way. It’s not uncommon for our clients to be a little intimidated about booking a boudoir shoot for the very first time. By being honest and open about this process, you can understand what it’s really like doing a shoot with a top rated boudoir photographer like Bella Jade. It’s actually not scary! And quite frankly a lot of fun more than anything thing else.

Even still …

Right now, you may be reading this and remembering a time where you thought … “I’m not sure that I could ever look sexy or pretty like the women on your website”.

Maybe that time is right now. If it is, my hope is that seeing before and after photos like Miss C’s inspire you and help you see that our clients are likely much like you — everyday women (gorgeous from the inside out) who maybe just need a little boost.

They want to see for themselves from a new perspective. A perspective that highlights just how extraordinary they really are and brings their natural beauty to the surface. My guess is that you want that too.

Good news is that’s what a luxury boudoir experience like this does. It creates the space for you to just be yourself knowing that you are in good hands.

Not only are you getting a boudoir photographer, a private studio just for your shoot, you’re getting one of the best professional hair and make up artists in the Phoenix, Scottsdale area who (YES!) has experience specifically with boudoir shoots.

Miss C's Bella Jade Boudoir Experience in The Grey Room | Best Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale near Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert Arizona

Miss C. had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot. Like a lot of women, the thought of doing a shoot like this was outside of her comfort zone - something that took an act of courage to finally commit and show up all in!

Her journey led her to Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale after the birth of her first baby. She expressed a desire to feel beautiful again. A desire to carve out some “me” time to acknowledge everything she has overcome leading up to this moment, her accomplishments, and embrace this current stage of her life.

For her, a boudoir shoot was something she could do for herself that would help her recognize her strengths, celebrate her wins, and reconnect with her body in a way that was reserved just for her.

After her shoot we reached out to interview her about her boudoir experience and she shared with us how she got here, her fears, what it felt like, and her own first hand advise for anyone considering doing a boudoir shoot of their own!

After her shoot we reached out to interview her about her boudoir experience and she shared with us how she got here, her fears, what it felt like, and her own first hand advise for anyone considering doing a boudoir shoot of their own!

Miss C. says

“I felt so confident and just proud to be me. Flaws and all. I finally looked at myself in the mirror that day and said to myself, ‘Damn. You DO got this!’ They truly helped me come out of my shell and have some fun.

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

I had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot. For years I had contemplated it, but never got the courage to actually book it. I had just given birth to my first baby, which had its trials and tribulations in itself, and I just lost over 50 pounds. I was a new mom that hadn't felt pretty in a very long time. I needed to feel confident and comfortable in my own skin again and that is what made me pursue a boudoir session.

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?

After reviewing Bella Jade's portfolio and reading their clients' testimonials, I just fell in love with how beautiful and liberating all of these women looked and felt. That's exactly how I wanted to feel.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I am always a work in progress. Who isn't? But after working with Heidi and Christina, I felt so confident and just proud to be me. Flaws and all. I finally looked at myself in the mirror that day and said to myself, "Damn. You DO got this!" They truly helped me come out of my shell and have some fun!

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

I did. I have always been self-conscious about myself and my body, but I wanted to be proud of the hard work I had just put in within the last year with having a baby and losing so much weight. I am so glad I overcame my fear of letting others see me vulnerable. It was such a wonderful liberating experience. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

Can I say I loved it all? Cause I did! I just loved being able to feel so comfortable in a normally awkward situation. It was so nice to be pampered, have your makeup done, hair done and just feel beautiful! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Do it! Don't contemplate it. We are all beautiful and it should be celebrated! You will not regret it!

Usually, the first question my boudoir clients ask when booking their Scottsdale boudoir shoot is “What should I wear""…

In this post I share tips that will be especially useful for those who’ve chosen to do their boudoir shoot in The Bella Jade Collection’s Signature Grey Room.

Likely you’re sitting somewhere between nervous and excited — maybe you still have a few questions, but for the most part you can not wait to get in the studio, unleash your sexy, and step into your more confident self! Usually, the first question my boudoir clients ask when booking their Scottsdale boudoir shoot is “what should I wear".

There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to outfit options like —

body type, what you hope to highlight or de-emphasize, your personal style, what will look good on camera, what compliments your hair/eyes/skin tone, where the photoshoot is taking place (whether it be in our main studio or in The Grey Room), and what look and feel inspires you! It can seem overwhelming at first, but you’re in the right place because we specialize in boudoir photography, want you to feel great, and are here to help simplify things for you. We talk in detail on what to wear for your boudoir shoot during your pre-shoot styling & wardrobe consultation (included when you book a Bella Jade Boudoir session). And honestly, most women find planning their boudoir session to be fun, exciting, and liberating. It’s a chance to express yourself, play dress up as an adult ( which is better because you have much better taste now, I’m sure😊!) , and explore your more sensual side. If this is you, I recommend to begin playing with ideas before your consultation, then finalizing your outfits later!

Miss B. booked a boudoir shoot at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale to reconnect with herself, and get back to feeling like the sexy confident woman that she was prior to having children.

I've always been pretty confident, but after having 2 kids and seeing the signs of aging that the early 40s bring, I've started slowly being more body shy.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I've always been pretty confident, but after having 2 kids and seeing the signs of aging that the early 40s bring, I've started slowly being more body shy. This experience reminded me that I am more than just a 40 something year old mother.

I am a woman, I am beautiful with all my flaws and I am going to hold my head up high and be proud of it all.

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

My biggest fear was feeling uncomfortable and unliked. My experiences with women have always been pretty negative since my late teens and I've always felt like the black sheep in a room full of women. I was worried that I wouldn't connect with Christina, but oh man, she and Leah (the hair and make up artist) blew me away. I literally walked out of my photo shoot wishing they were both my friends in real life.

They both gave me something I haven't really experienced with women in the past. Instead of judgement, they gave me celebration.

I wouldn't change a thing.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

For me, the best part of the shoot was being celebrated! Second favorite part was getting the chance to be all dolled up and sexy. And the pictures that came as a result of that? Straight FIRE.

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?

Do it! With none or all of the flaws, do it! Whether you’re 20 or 50, do it. Capture this version of you and be proud of the body you have. Show the world what you are made of and let yourself feel like a queen.

Would you recommend this experience to a friend?

Hell yes! I cannot wait for people to ask where I got my photos done so that I can tell them all about Bella Jade. If anyone needs a boudoir girl, Christina is where it's at. I can't wait to do it again!

Miss N. says…

“I am my own worst critic and I wanted to do something to help me be more confident and I have never felt so confident like I did during my photo shoot.”

Toward the beginning of every session we like to do a warm up. Which is basically your boudoir photographer showing you a few tricks and coaching you through a series of tried and trusted poses. After 6+ years photographing women from all walks of life and different comfort levels, we know that keeping it simple in the beginning is this is the best way to get you started! And we tell you exactly what to do down to your finger tips. That’s right — you don’t have to know what you are doing. (you can exhale now… ). And here’s the thing … even if the first couple of photos are a total flop I don’t even care. I’m still not worried and you need not to either.

I realize — that even though this whole boudoir thing is not new to me, for most of our boudoir clients this is ALL new to you — every part of it

The Studio
The Make Up
The Moving Through Posing while trying to look sexy!

And if you’re feeling anything like Miss N was prior to booking her shoot and having a consultation with us, you are probably stepping way out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. So its OK to be nervous. We get it!

The warm up gives you a chance to get more comfortable being in front of the camera, taking direction, and finding your own flow! Again, we don’t expect you to come in having it all figured out in less than 60 seconds. Eventually the nerves will fade out and you’ll find your own rhythm. You’d be surprised how quickly you can get passed thinking about flaws and fears when you are having fun!

For Miss N it went a little like this: It was like I blinked, looked down at my camera, then BAM there was this super confident, playful, feeling some type of way Bombshell in front of me barely even through the warm up!

We LOVE that! Permission to brag to all of your friends how bad af you are!

After her session she shared with us what it was like from her perspective and I am excited that she has allowed us to now share her story with you.

Remember, at Bella Jade our clients get to choose whether or not their boudoir photos are shared. We will never share your private photos without your consent. And, we are more than ok with that!

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

I came into the new year wanting to love myself more and I needed a confidence boost and I thought what better way than a boudoir shoot! I needed to step out of my comfort zone and this definitely did that for me.

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?

To be completely honest? I was thinking about doing a boudoir shoot and Bam! There you were popping up on Instagram!

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

Work in progress for sure! I am my own worst critic and I wanted to do something to help me be more confident and I have never felt so confident like I did during my photo shoot.

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

I am normally a very awkward person so I was worried that would come out in my pictures and it definitely did not. I was amazed at how well Christina captured my natural sexiness and how natural I looked in my photos.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

Everything from beginning to end… The whole process was amazing I felt completely comfortable in front of both of the make up artist and photographer. They made me feel at home and nothing about it felt weird. Picking out my photos was also fun. I did not feel pressured or rushed.

It was just all-around fun.

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?

Yeah, do it!
