I had done one before, back in my late 20s, back then I used to focus on every mark and perceived defect of my body, constantly putting myself down.
After my first FYEO boudoir shoot in 2013 something shifted, I felt amazing seeing the photos of me, especially knowing they were taken with no touch-ups.
Coming back now at 40, I was even more apprehensive.
I’m older, things have changed, and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel. But when Alex showed me the photos, unedited, at a moment when I actually thought they had been edited, I couldn’t believe it.
The woman who avoids mirrors because of her imperfections was captured in a completely different way.
I remember thinking, who is that woman? She looks beautiful.
And that woman was me. 🥰🥰
An absolutely incredible experience from start to finish.
Alex has a rare gift, not just behind the 📸 , but in the way she makes you feel. From the moment you step in, you feel empowered, confident, comfortable, beautiful… relaxed and somehow even a little acrobatic 🤪
Her talent goes far beyond boudoir. Whether it’s a wedding boudoir shoot, birthday milestone shoot, or a session just to help you find you again ❤️, she takes the time to truly understand your needs and what you want.
There is never a sense of being rushed. Her time, her art, and her connection with you all matter deeply.
This isn’t just about photos; it’s about the experience. It’s about feeling seen, valued, and beautiful in your own skin, scars, stretch marks, imperfections, wrinkles and all. She doesn’t try to change you.
Alex sees you… and then shows you you. Which always takes anyone by surprise…that the imperfections are not a negative and shine bright. ✨🌟
Strong. Kind. Wonderful.
If you’ve ever needed a reminder of who you are, she is the one who will give it to you.
Book a shoot, you’ll feel amazing! #boudoir
