I have always been a very reserved type of person. Not very confident with my body, always feeling out of shape. Never had that model body. Never saw myself as beautiful, I'm just the girl next door. We are our own worst critics.
I had a mini session with Irina last fall. I was nervous and apprehensive, not sure it was for me.
I did it for my 6 year wedding Anniversary
Very nervous but Irina was very nice over our messages so I knew it would be a great experience.
It was so adorable and relaxing.
I loved it! Cristy was amazing and so sweet and friendly!! She knows her stuff.
I loved every bit of it! Irina showed me how to position myself and what to do during each photo. She made me feel so comfortable. Even when I felt silly. I would do it over in a second!
I felt more confident with my body. It was a real confidence booster.
II was nervous that I was going to look awkward but once I saw my photos it was so hard to choose. I loved all of them. I can’t stop looking at them! My husband loved his gift.
I would say to go for it. It’s something you can cherish for a lifetime!
The confidence I gained from it! I WISH I HAVE DONE IT SOONER!
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.
I emailed Irina to book my session and it was very simple.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I felt wonderful! My confidence was at an all time high. I felt so happy and empowered.
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.
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.
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.
What is Maternity Boudoir?
I love photographing maternity momma’s! BOUDOIR is about documenting you right now, in this stage of life, whatever that may look like. What better way to do that than coming in to do a MATERNITY SESSION with us? Pregnancy is a BEAUTIFUL thing and you are so STRONG and POWERFUL, let us capture that for you!
MATERNITY BOUDOIR SESSIONS are just like any other Boudoir Session, with the exception of not doing certain poses that will be hard with your pregnant belly. We always want our mommas and their growing babes to stay safe and healthy - so we will never compromise that by doing anything that can be deemed unsafe.
We have several options in our CLIENT WARDROBE that work for Maternity Boudoir, but often times our Maternity clients bring a few things to wear just in case.
Just a few ideas: you can wear lingerie, a lace dress, or do a simple bralette/panty duo. We LOVE maternity nudes!! This is a great chance to make some gorgeous black and white art of your body during this unique time. Let us capture the new CURVES you have, they make amazing wall art pieces (and can be 100% family friendly). Or you can put on a long beautiful robe, we have several at the studio you can borrow.
You will look amazing no matter what! We promise you it will be an experience you won’t forget and you will have photos of your pregnancy journey that will last forever.
To inquire:
Gorgeous Miss G. opens up about her first boudoir experience
I love getting to know beautiful ladies who come into my studio.
After booking a studio session Miss G. shared in the pre-session questionnaire that she has never done a boudoir session before. She also mentioned that I recently photographed her best friend and she loved the images and the experience!
We worked together on her mood board, decided on her hair/makeup look and outfits (Miss G. brought a several very pretty options and also borrowed a few gorgeous outfits and accessories from La Perla Client Closet), chatted a few times before the day of her shoot and when she finally arrived to my studio it felt like we’ve known each other for a while!
The best part? I got to practice my Spanish with Miss G!!
Curious to know her side of the story?
I wanted to believe in myself again and prove myself that I was still cute.
It was very easy, I followed the steps and had my appointment reserved very quickly.
I found very quickly where the studio was located.
It was my first boudoir session, I was very nervous, a little insecure because my body is not perfect.
The studio is so great, everything was prepared for me, from a nice welcoming words to my favorite music.
I loved the makeup on my eyes making them look so big and beautiful, my skin looked perfect and the lip color was beautiful.
At first I felt so nervous and frozen, but Irina made me feel safe, guided me and with words made me feel safe, attractive and safe.
When I finished I felt the most attractive, Irina made me feel really pretty!
I was really excited to see the results of the boudoir photoshoot, seeing the photos I couldn't believe it was really me, I couldn't choose just one, I loved all the photos!!
It is an experience that we all have to live, from the beginning of the boudoir photoshoot you already feel beautiful. Irina will make you feel so safe and comfortable.
My favorite part was everything, just having a boudoir photosession was great!
