Why did you decide to do a boudoir session?
I wanted to do this session for myself and for a wedding gift for my fiance. I thought it was a unique gift for him. Also, having three kids has done lovely things to my body, so i wanted something to make me feel beautiful again.

Why did you choose TAIT Photography for your boudoir shoot?
Tait seemed so professional and laid back. Erica was great and made me very comfortable.

How did you prepare for your boudoir photo session?
Well I was not sure what to expect so basically I prepared by trying to remain calm and not nervous! I went out and purchased a few clothes that I felt would make me sexy!

Who are your boudoir photos for?
The images are for my fiance for his wedding present. I do not know how he will react but I’m hoping that he will love the images. It took a lot of courage for me to do this.

How was  your boudoir experience?
It was a great experience! At first I was very nervous and self-conscious but Erica made me very relaxed and told me exactly what I needed to do. She was great. After seeing the pictures it was a true self-esteem booster.

How do you feel about your boudoir images?
I am very happy with the images. I did not know I could look so elegant, feminine, and beautiful. I really like the images where I’m laying down and my legs are up on the damask wall. They look very elegant.

Do you have an interesting story?
The most interesting part was trying to keep this from my fiance. I told him that I was going to a bridal show with my sister in law. Of course the one time I was lying, he seemed to ask a lot of questions like why on a weeknight and why did I shave just to go out!! It was hard keeping it from him. I had to stash the bag of clothes somewhere that he could not see me leaving the house with it.  I could imagine trying to explain why I was leaving with a bag of lingerie.

Why should women book a boudoir photo shoot?
It makes you feel beautiful no matter what. Us women these days have a terrible self-image. I do not think we understand how beautiful we can be through someone else’s eyes. Especially having children can really make you uncomfortable with your body. After seeing the images it really helps to feel beautiful again. I am so excited to give these to him on our wedding day! I hope in 20 yrs he can look back and see how beautiful I once was!

How do you feel about your boudoir images?
I really like a ton of the photos….have had some difficulty narrowing down to my faves as I like so many. I really like the shots that are of my body only as well as the ones where I look natural and relaxed.

Indeed a very nice post. A picture is worth more than a thousand words and it can be explained via photography which is a piece of art. I am a devoted Boudoir and Intimate photographer and love photography. I have subscribed to your blog and hope you will keep up the good posts going.

Boudoir PhotographerBoudoir Photography

Why did you decide to have a boudoir photography session?
I have spent most of my life at odds with my body. After I turned 35 I decided I needed to embrace my curves and celebrate the things that make me unique. I chose to do this to help give me a confidence boost.

Why did you choose TAIT for your boudoir shoot?
I did an internet search and liked Erica’s images and style. I also loved the testimonials and how many women did this for the same reason I did.

How did you prepare?
I chose a couple of outfits that made me feel good and one that took me outside my comfort zone. I tried to get a lot of rest. The week before I ate healthy and upped my exercise, not because I thought I’d loose weight, but because it helped me feel good from the inside.

Are your boudoir photos a gift for you or someone else?
I was going to give them to someone, but we broke up. Instead of canceling I chose to go through with this for me and I am glad that I did.

How was your boudoir photography experience?
Erica was incredibly professional and very sweet. She has a great eye and knows how to direct a nervous and inexperienced “model” so that you achieve flattering poses.

How do you feel about your boudoir photos?
I am very happy and pleasantly surprised at how nice some of them came out. The images I love the most are the ones where I am smiling – I never knew I had such a nice smile and now I plan to smile a lot more.

Is there anything else you would like to share?
As someone who struggled with body image issues I was surprised at how I was able to see the lovely aspects of the images instead of focusing on how chunky my arms look or seeing only double chins. For the first time in a while I was able to look at pictures of myself and think wow, I am pretty.

Why should other women do a boudoir session?
I think every woman needs to embrace their sensual and sexy side at some point in their life. We spend so much time focusing on our flaws that sometimes we loose sight of the fact that everyone has something beautiful that needs to be shared and celebrated.

As a fuller figured woman, you have given me a confidence boost! My shoot is coming up this weekend and I REALLY know they will be fabulous!! You look MAGNIFIQUE!

Danielle - July 24, 2011 - 4:30 pm

Gorgeous images! Kudos to you for following through with the shoot and recognizing the amazing “gift” to yourself :D

Andrea - August 4, 2011 - 9:19 pm

You look amazing. More women need to take the time and do this for themselves as self confidence booster. I’m full figured as well and very nervous about doing and just decided one I was going to do it and feel amazing now.

Why did you decide to book a boudoir session?
I saw Tait Photography at a show and was really impressed with the idea, when I got home that night I looked up the website and within 5 minutes I had the session booked.

How did you prepare for your boudoir photo shoot?
I read through the FAQ and looked online for inspiration. I looked through lingerie websites and found poses and images I liked. I asked Erica to pose me like the samples I found.

Who are your boudoir images for?
The images were for my husband, as a Valentine’s gift, and he was thrilled with the idea.

How was your boudoir photography experience?
I thought it was great. Erica is fantastic at directing the poses. I felt really good and was very excited.

How do you feel?
I love the images and I am not the only one. My best girlfriend thought they were stunning – so did my husband. I liked the ones with the black top the most, but really out of every outfit series, I have several that I love.

Interesting story?
The make-up artist was great. I had an awesome time with her and enjoyed the entire 3 hours.

Why should other women do a boudoir shoot?
Other women should do a boudoir shoot because you are worth it. It made me feel fantastic and sexy.
