Client Interview: overcoming insecurities

CLIENT HIGHLIGHT: I’d like to introduce Miss D. She’s an amazingly strong, passionate woman who was referred to the studio by her friend who wanted to help build her confidence. Miss D lost her mother to cancer a few years back and suffers from and low self-esteem and body image. I’m in awe of her determination to take back her life and find a way to empower herself in order to move forward with her soon-to-be husband. She is a remarkable woman and I am proud to have had a chance to work with her.

This is her story…

I had on and off boyfriends

and then became serious with someone around 21 years old and had a baby with him around 22-23. I am 5 feet tall and gained almost 80 pounds during my pregnancy. This ruined my body as I saw it.

My self-confidence went way down it took me over 2 years to lose the weight and still have extra skin and tons of stretch marks all over my body to this day. So, to say I am insecure is an understatement.

I realized it’s now or never for me

I am getting married in about 2 weeks and have been stressed out to the max throughout the whole process and am nervous as can be as well as still extremely insecure.

A co-worker/friend of mine mentioned doing this Boudoir shoot for my fiancé for his wedding gift. I knew her would love it… but I wasn’t sure if I’d be comfortable enough to do it or not. But even with all the insecurity, I realized it’s now or never for me.

… this empowered me

The closer I got to the shoot the more I realized that this wasn’t just going to be for him it is really even more so for me…

The best part of the experience was when I met Jacquie and realized how professional and normal, she was that I didn’t even care at that point to hide any part of my body.

I felt a relief for once like this is who I am, and I need to embrace it… this empowered me.

I feel more confident & sexier

An hour after the session Jacquie sent 3 sneak pics of the shoot I was like wow. That is amazing.

I thought… this is what other people see?? It certainly changed my perception of myself.

I am so glad I did this shoot I feel more confident and sexier in my own skin than I ever did before and I know my fiancé is going to love it …
