This is why we love our job! Real client opens up about her experience.

Recently we received an email from a boudoir client. By the time Laurie and I read to the end of the page, we were both in tears.  Her words reaffirmed just why we love our job so much! We love being able to connect with our clients as one woman to another.  It  completely fills us with joy and reignites our passion knowing the ladies walking through our door leave feeling better about themselves.

In her own words, Amelia talks about her boudoir photo shoot

“Recently I had the privilege of doing a boudoir photo shoot with Maggie and Laurie at Revealed Studios. For quite a while I’ve admired their amazing work and secretly wanted to be photographed by them. However, like a lot of women I’m not comfortable being photographed and am not overly confident in my skivvies. I did it anyway. Part of what convinced me (besides their gorgeous work) to listen to that little voice saying “Go For It” is that I am at a point in my life where I have deep gratitude for having a healthy body (no matter what it looks like) and a healthy mind. Also I became a grandmother, which has had a way of making me want to stay connected to myself as a woman no matter my age or stage in life (a lesson I learned as a mom).

Despite the nerves, she felt wonderful by the end

The experience was wonderful and I have images that I truly love! I could go on and on as to why I wholeheartedly recommend these awesome ladies and encourage you to “Go For It” if you’re considering a shoot. Here are some of those reasons:

• Not for one second did I feel that my body was being judged. Period.
• They listened to my concerns and put my mind at ease. I told Laurie and Maggie my worries/body issues and they were not dismissive and assured me they would photograph me as I wished and “fix” anything in the end I didn’t like. (BTW, there was nothing I didn’t like!).
• They offer all kinds of help in preparing for your shoot. They helped in choosing what to wear, my accessories, my hair, etc. Maggie and Laurie were available to answer questions at any point.
• They listened to my ideas as to the different types of “looks” I wanted. I really liked having input into my shoot. They let me be me and really “got” what I wanted. Their shoots are not formulaic or full of robotic poses, it’s very personal.
• It’s fun. Really. Everything in the process is fun, planning what to wear, getting hair and makeup done (I had Jaycie who was Awesome!) and the actual shoot, it’s all fun. We laughed so much throughout the day! Laurie and Maggie are warm, easy going and a blast to be with, yet are total professionals. I didn’t want the shoot to end – who would have thought?
• Unexpectedly it’s a confidence builder. I’m proud of myself for pushing through my comfort level to do something I never thought I could do.  Just a glimpse at some frames they shot of me during the day left me walking with my head higher and a bounce in my step. I felt beautiful and I couldn’t believe that the girl in the photos was me. I carried that confidence home with me and continue to reflect back on it.

There’s beauty in all of us. I actually got kind of teary viewing my photos because seeing myself through their lens made me see myself as pretty where I usually see faults. I feel like these images show me as I truly am, who I am, they show the real me in an intimate and meaningful way. What a gift these two women have to find that inside their clients and to Reveal it (AHA!!), not just any photographer can do that. Thanks, Laurie and Maggie!”
