Mrs. X (not her real name :)) wanted a special anniversary gift for her husband. They were high school best friends and then high school sweethearts. She has the kindest soul. I have the best clients! She let me share some anonymous images. Here's what Mrs. X had to say about her experience:
Was this your first boudoir photoshoot? Why did you want to have a boudoir portrait session?
"Yes, this was my first boudoir photoshoot. Originally, I did it with the intention of it being an anniversary present for my husband. However, as we went through the process I realized I was doing it more for me than anyone else."
What were you looking for in a photographer? Why did you decide to hire Stephen as your boudoir photographer? What was it like working with Stephen?
"Stephen was one of the first boudoir profiles I came across and after reaching out he walked me through his process and made sure I felt comfortable. From our first meeting over zoom, numerous phone calls, to meeting in person, he made the creative process so much fun. He helped me see myself in a light that I never would have without him."
Were you nervous before the session? How did you feel during the session?
"I was nervous at first but mostly excited! It was a whole experience between getting glammed up, changing outfits, and being guided through the session. Throughout the session, Stephen was the best hype-man! He always made sure I was comfortable and highlighted me in ways that I didn’t even know were possible."
How did you feel after the session and after receiving your photos? Tell us about your printed album!
"The way my jaw dropped seeing the photos reminded me of the old school cartoons! I was in shock at how amazing they turned out! I was even more shocked that I was looking at me in those photos. I loved them all and it was so hard to only pick a few for the book. The book was so well made and the attention to detail on the cover, layout of the photos, and the flat laying pages makes it feel so high class. My husband was equally astonished at how amazing the book came out."
Would you recommend Stephen to your friends or anyone else looking for a boudoir photographer?
"10000000000000% I would recommend Stephen! I’ve done nothing but rave about my experience with Stephen to all of my friends. I know I would go back to Stephen in a heartbeat and I’m sure this isn’t the last time I would work with Stephen."
Do you have any advice for anyone considering a boudoir photoshoot with Stephen?
"Come into with an open mind and heart! Embrace the experience and allow Stephen to help guide you through it! He truly is the best."
Do you have any favorites from your session?
"Stephen did such an amazing job that I have so many favorites that it is hard to choose just one!"
Anything else you want the world to know?
"I’ve always struggled with a poor body image. I did this with the intention an anniversary gift and trying to see what my husband and others see. I left my boudoir shoot with a profound sense of self-love and empowerment. Stephen helped me see myself in a way that I have always wanted to be seen yet reminded me it was something that I always had. This experience and what came out of it was something more than just beautiful photos. It was an experience that I will forever hold dear because for once I saw myself and genuinely LOVED what I saw."
