What do you do for a living?
Social worker
Why did you want to do a boudoir session?
To prove to myself I can do scary things and to feel more confident in my body.
What made you choose Wallflower?
I love that Christina had the Before and Afters on her site. It shows the real people that are in these photos and that she already recognizes the beauty in each person she works with, even before the hair and makeup.
Were you nervous at all to do your shoot?
YES!! But Christina is so easy to work with and makes each step of the process easy to follow and up to you, regarding your comfort level.
What was your favorite part of the experience?
I loved during the middle of the shoot when I finally felt comfortable and confident in what I was doing. Obviously seeing the results is amazing, too!!
What would you tell a friend if they were thinking about doing a boudoir session?
I’ve already told my best friends and sisters that if they’re ever considering it, just do it!!
What was it like to see your photos?
It was UN.REAL. Like, I can’t believe that’s me!! I felt like a freaking model during this shoot! I was so worried my face would look weird or they would look awkward, but they all look incredible. Christina is amazing!
Was everything what you expected it to be when you first got in touch?
I had no idea what to expect honestly. Christina made it so easy and walked me through every single step and made sure I was comfortable with everything. She was so prepared, it made me feel prepared!
Do you see yourself differently after having your session?
I feel much more confident in my own body. I feel that before the session, I was looking for validation in my husband to make me feel beautiful, which was leading to some difficulties in our marriage. I feel confident in myself and am not always seeking compliments from him. While I obviously still want him to think I’m beautiful (which he does), I don’t need that verbal affirmation from him because I can give compliments from myself.
Anything else you’d like to throw out there?
Christina is so professional and did such a great job planning out every part of the session. Every second was used well. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!! The pictures came out gorgeous and I cannot wait to see the album when it comes in! Her communication is top-notch and she ensures your comfort every step of the way!
