What inspired you to pursue a boudoir session?

I've dreamed of a boudoir session since I was in my 20's. Being in my 50's has been my best life yet. What better way to celebrate than to celebrate Me!
 

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

A friend had invited me to the Bella Jade Collection Facebook page. Once I saw the incredible photos, I was hooked! My savings account began that day!

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

My confidence has always been good. Now, my shoulders are back even more, my head is higher and my self esteem...well I'm smiling more than ever when I look at myself in the mirror!
 

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them? Anything you wish you would have done differently?


Fears were only my nerves. I only overcame them through the help of Christina. She is incredibly relaxing, she reassured me through every moment. Only thing I would have done differently is I would have gotten more into it, let myself go a little more. I would have been more of who my husband sees so it would have shown in more pictures.

What was your favorite part about your boudoir experience?

The reveal. Seeing the video. Seeing, and hearing, my husband's reactions to each photo.
 

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

Trust in the process. You're incredibly beautiful, feel it! Take suggestions and do what you also know works for you.

breast-cancer-boudoir-photography-gilbert-phoenix-photographer-the-bella-jade-collection-02

What inspired you to pursue a boudoir session?

To learn to love and appreciate my body after a double mastectomy, multiple surgeries and complications which results in multiple scars and no reconstruction.
 

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

I reached out to several photographers and Christina actually listened to my specific situation and gave advice based on my needs.
 

breast-cancer-boudoir-photography-gilbert-phoenix-mes-photographer-the-bella-jade-collection

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

Work in progress. When I saw these photos, I felt like I was able to appreciate how my husband and others see my body.
 

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them? Anything you wish you would have done differently?


Definitely. I was worried I wouldn’t look like myself, I wouldn’t feel comfortable, I would still feel I look disfigured. I would have played my specific music, but Christina found a good mix of music that fit me.

Seeing the final product.
 

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


 Do it! Take the chance and be amazed at what your body is capable of.

Anything else you’d like to share?

I am so happy I found Christina! From our first interaction, to the consultation and follow through.... Christina took the time to make sure everything was how I was hoping.

breast-cancer-boudoir-gilbert-phoenix-photographer-the-bella-jade-collection
After having a double mastectomy and multiple infections and complications, I ended up being flat with lots of scars. I was looking to do a photo shoot to help reconnect with my new body. When I met Christina, she took the time to listen and give me advice for my specific situation. She never made me feel like I was any different then any of the other women she has worked with. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed through her professionalism and experience. She has allowed me to see my body from a different perspective.
— Miss E.

Minis Session Event FAQ’s:

Are you still feeling a little nervous?

That’s, totally OK. You are doing something that may be a little outside of your comfort zone, and feeling a little nervous is normal.

For you, we’ve put together some frequently asked questions that should put your mind at ease. And get you feeling more comfortable about booking a boudoir session with us!

— Will I be sharing the studio with other ladies? —

No, our studio is located in my private residence in Gilbert, Arizona. The space is exclusive for clients of The Bella Jade Collection. Unless, you choose to book back to back sessions with a friend for support, your time slot is reserved just for you!

— Do I need to know how to pose? —

Absolutely not. Most of our clients have never done a boudoir shoot before, and do not expect you to come in with rehearsed poses. We specialize in boudoir for the every woman. Your boudoir photographer will provide you with as much photo shoot coaching and posing direction that you need to ensure that you look and feel amazing.

— Should i wait until i lose a few extra pounds? —

We certainly want you to treat your body with love and care, so if a boudoir session motivates you to work on a health or wellness goal, by all means be good to your body! But, the numbers on a scale should never be the reason you put off booking a shoot like this! A boudoir session is about getting to know yourself, celebrating your sexy, and feeling empowered to love yourself more just as you are. I am telling you with confidence, that you do not NEED to lose weight in order to look great in your boudoir photos. In fact, a lot of women have walked away from their boudoir experience with us feeling a lot better about how they see themselves. We hear all of the time that the confidence received from our boudoir sessions has had life-changing impacts on how women talk to themselves and continue on their self love journey even outside our studio.

— Will I need to bring my own outfit? —

Yes, we want you to wear something that you are comfortable in and that will make you feel sexy wearing it! We’ve found that letting you shop for your own outfits and try them on in advance is ideal for an intimate shoot like this. But if you need help with what to wear we are happy to offer some guidance. PLUS, when you book during our mini session event you’ll be receiving a FREE $50 gift card to Belle Lacet Lingerie in Chandler, which includes a professional fitting by one of their experts! Just let them know we sent you and they will ensure you find the perfect fit for your boudoir session with us!

— How Do I Get Started? —

Use the mini session booking link or contact us here, and let us know that you are interested in learning more about our mini session event and availability.

Bench Body Boudoir Session | Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, San Tan, Queen Creek Boudoir Photography

This stunning babe rocked her boudoir shoot with us at our Gilbert boudoir studio! When planning out her boudoir shoot and what to wear we really wanted to do something outside of traditional lingerie. A magazine style Calvin Klein inspired look - this bombshell wore a Bench Body set with a Denim Jacket. We are loving this unique boudoir look!

This stunning babe rocked her boudoir shoot with us at our Gilbert boudoir studio! When planning out her boudoir shoot..

we really wanted to do something outside of traditional lingerie.

Something that really would amplify her banging body and show off her more confident self. This was a big deal because even though she’d reached a new sense of self and total high in her fitness and body love journey, there were still a few areas she still had to do some inner work on.

We talked about the things she loved about her body to ensure that we highlighted those features that she was most proud of. We decided on a few unique outfits and I wanted to share this one in particular that turned out AH-MAZING on her and had her feeling incredibly fierce and empowered -

a magazine style Calvin Klein inspired look - with a little plot twist!

She took it back to her roots by wearing one of her favorite Philippines brands, a Bench Body set with a little bit of denim to spice things up and add versatility. I am so in love with how these came out.

As she pulled out her outfits she said

While everyone else wanted Calvin Klein I wanted Bench Body...
— Miss A.

and you know what I love love love about that - authenticity. I am always talking about how important it is to just be yourself. And this -

this girl went for it, and nailed it!
