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.
Miss B. says…
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.
And she is not alone. So many woman find themselves here — not sure if they’ll ever be able to accept their new bodies after children, and then one day you wake up, realize that you are 40, and decide enough is enough. It’s never too late to reclaim your confidence!
Refuse to keep hiding your body — uncage yourself, let yourself be seen, and realize your beauty. Self love should be unconditional. It’s time to say I WANT TO LOVE MYSELF AGAIN, then do it!
That’s exactly what Miss B. did the moment she stepped into our boudoir studio and I am so glad she did! Because, this woman is beautiful inside and out, deserves to be celebrated, and I couldn’t have been more honored to be trusted as her boudoir photographer.
After her boudoir shoot with us, we interviewed Miss B. as she shared what her boudoir session was like from her perspective. She has graciously allowed us to share her responses in hopes to inspire other women like her to do the shoot and give themselves this gift of renewed confidence.

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
I really wanted to capture this version of myself and celebrate all that is me.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
I chose Christina because of her vibe. I've seen her video clips on Facebook and Instagram and she seemed so positive and friendly, but sassy. That sassy side captured my attention and I knew there was no one better to go with.

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!
