Jenn’s Transformative Boudoir Experience at our Columbus Indiana Studio

Every now and then I like to reach out to my past clients so they can share a bit about how their boudoir experience impacted their lives. I’m there with them, in the moment, and I can watch that transformation take place. But even I don’t always know just how far-reaching the impacts of that day can be.

Recently, someone on my team reached out to a client named Jenn. It didn’t take long for her to get excited at the idea of sharing her story with you, here.

So without more rambling from me, let’s get on with it. Here’s the interview we had with Jenn about her photoshoot and the lasting effects of her custom boudoir experience.

Q. What made you want to do a boudoir shoot in the first place?

As I’ve gotten older, my self esteem regarding my body image has been extremely low. Several years ago, a friend of mine suggested doing a boudoir shoot, telling me she had done one and absolutely loved how it made her feel. So it’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while now and I’m so glad I finally did it!

Q. Is there anything about your body image journey you’d like to share?

I think I always had self-esteem issues growing up.

I’ve always had a round booty and not much in the chest, so I felt self-conscious. I always felt like I was OK looking, but not too much to look at.

I think seeing what was on the cover of magazines or what was in music videos and considered to be “hot” at the time made me feel a little bit less than. As much as I hate to say it, that was the influence. The going standard for what was beautiful was not what I saw in the mirror.

But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to cherish my curves and enjoy my body after having two daughters with all my stretch marks and extra skin in the middle. I’ve learned to love every part of me.

Now, almost 49 years old, I wanted to finally do the boudoir shoot for me and not for someone else. I figured seeing myself in pictures that made me look, sexy and feel sexy would be a testament to that journey.

Q. How did you feel after you booked your boudoir shoot?

I felt nervous but excited. It was a long time coming – something I thought of doing for a few years, but I tried not to get too excited, too soon. I booked it a few months in advance. I think that last month was when I started counting down and getting really excited for the whole experience!

Q. What was it like walking up to the door of the studio?

Honestly, I was nervous. I wasn’t sure what I would see inside or how it would be. I felt giddy.

Q. Think back ~ you were getting ready for your shoot, What were you thinking?

I’m fairly certain I have undiagnosed ADHD so trying to take it all in at once was making my head spin in a good way of course but still spinning nonetheless! I am glad Naomi was there and has such a great artist’s eye for props and poses! She definitely knows how to tweak the positions and the props to make it look so much sexier! 

Q. Alright. It’s time for the first pose! Tell me what it was like.

My first pose was done on her green couch and I really wasn’t even sure where to start. She helped to pose me by describing what she wanted me to do. Sometimes she would tweak my hands in different positions or tell me to look in a certain direction.

But the very first pose, I was kneeling on the couch, grabbing the heels of my Stilettos. For a second, I felt like I was going to fall backwards off the couch, but she helped me position so I wouldn’t!

Q. Any especially moving/emotional moments during your photoshoot?

I think I was too excited and giddy to be emotional. After the shoot though, When my husband came in and was helping me pick out pictures, I started to tear up because I had never felt sexier. Seeing myself like that… I never imagined it before. 

Q. What was it like the first time you saw your photos?

When Naomi showed me the proofs To pick out for my package, I was having a difficult time choosing which ones I liked the most. She did a beautiful job! If I could’ve chosen all of them, I would have!!

Q. How do you feel when you look at your photos now?

I just got my book in the mail recently and I am so so excited! I love looking at the photos And seeing myself like that. It’s a huge boost to self-esteem! 

Q. What do you wish more women knew about the boudoir photoshoot experience?

I wish more people would know that it is for everyone! Not just tiny girls! I wish more people knew how worth it it is. Naomi and her team will do everything for you to show your best physical assets!

Q. What would you say to someone who is nervous about the idea of a boudoir shoot?

I would tell them, “Let Naomi pose you. She knows what she’s doing to show off your curves and flatter your figure! I’m so happy I finally did it! And Naomi made me feel comfortable every step of the way. It’s so worth it!!”
