What was your reason and motivation to book a Boudoir experience? 

I had been interested in doing a boudoir shoot for a long time but never had the confidence to actually do it. In January of 2019, I decided to take control of my life and starting working on getting healthy and gaining confidence. I decided to book the boudoir shoot after losing about 30 pounds to help gain more self confidence.

How easy was the booking process? 

I emailed Irina to book my session and it was very simple.

How did you feel BEFORE your Boudoir session?

I was nervous and excited. I didn't know what it would be like and wasn't sure how I was going to look in the pictures. I was excited to give it a shot though.

Please, share your first impression of our studio 

The studio was very warm and welcoming. Irina greeted me with a smile and made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked through the door.

How did you like your hair and makeup?

I don't typically wear much makeup so I was worried about it being too much. My makeup and hair looked amazing though! The girl who normally does hair and makeup was sick the day of my shoot so Irina ended up doing all of it. She did a wonderful job and I loved the way my hair and makeup looked.

Please, share your experience and feelings DURING the photoshoot?

I was very nervous at first but Irina is so encouraging and professional. It didn't take long at all for me to relax and start having fun with it. I loved getting to experiment with different poses that I wanted to try.

How did you feel AFTER the Boudoir experience? 

I felt wonderful! My confidence was at an all time high. I felt so happy and empowered.

Please, describe your feelings right BEFORE viewing your photos and how did you feel once you saw your pictures. Any particular poses or favorite moments? 

I was so excited to see the pictures! When I was looking at them, I was shocked that I looked that good. It was honestly crazy to see myself look that way.

What would you say to a friend who is on the fence about booking her boudoir session? 

Do it! I think everyone should do it at some point. There's always a reason to put it off, but you shouldn't let that stop you from booking a session.

What was your favorite part of the experience? 

Working with Irina. I was nervous but she made me feel so confident and beautiful. I feel like the pictures turned out great not only because she is an amazing photographer, but also because she is so encouraging and supportive of her clients.
