Hey you! Have you ever thought about boudoir photography but then you start thinking bad things about yourself? Stop it! No one is perfect, not everyone has tons of confidence, but you are amazing in your own right so embrace your body! Laurel told me about how much her session meant to here. Talk about confidence! Laurel came to the studio excited and ready to rock her session. As a single mom, Laurel decided to do something for herself, and that was to come in for a boudoir session. Reality is that most of the time moms do everything for everyone else and little for themselves. So, I'm proud of Laurel for doing this for herself, and we had a blast. 

I asked her some questions after her session and this was her response:

"Goals: be a good role model for my kids, further my education and career, not be a shitty person, teach and empower little minds so they can grow and make the world a better place.

I’m really bad at making time for myself and the whole self-care thing. Usually, it’s little things like doing my nails or 20 minutes of “me time” after the kids are in bed/before I fall asleep. Or entering to win an on-a-whim boudoir photoshoot.

I grew up thinking that in order to be “beautiful” you had to have a flat stomach and a perky ass and boobs and a thigh gap... And, honestly, when I first saw at the pictures I didn’t like them because all I saw was what I didn’t like about myself like my tummy and stretch marks and thunder thighs. Then I realized, that’s stupid I look fucking awesome. My tummy and stretch marks grew 2 people and my thunder thighs are a genetic gift lol. So the mainstream concept of beauty is messed up. I think it’s gotten better in the last few years. I don’t want either of my kids growing up thinking they have to look or act a certain way to be accepted.

Life is crazy. Single mom life is crazy. Take the help that you’re offered and don’t be afraid to ask for help. (You’d think that I’m great at asking for help but I suck at it lol)"

I'm so proud of her for sharing this!! Her words are so raw and they totally made me cry. Laurel, thank you for being real and doing the best for you and your kids!!

Now, what are you all waiting for?! This is your opportunity to do something for yourself. Book a boudoir session with me today!!
