Heather's Boudoir Experience

1) What made you choose Satin Dauls Boudoir?

I was gifted the opportunity to shoot with Satin Dauls Boudoir as an engagement gift from my girlfriends. After they both shared howlife changing, empowering and fun their own experiences were, they encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and do the same and I'm so glad I did. =)

2) What were you nervous about going into your session?

I was most nervous about how my body would photograph. While I consider myself a confident woman, the last few years have been rough and I have been trying to connect the person I used to be with who I'm becoming in the present so a part of that was getting over the insecurity of how I look and feel about my body. Though I'm learning to meet and love myself at this chapter, I couldn't help but feel anxious that I wouldn't measure up to my own standards. I happily proved to myself that I am more than enough. <3

3) What was your favorite part of the experience?

My favorite part of the entire experience was how you hyped me up and made me feel comfortable and beautiful in my own skin. What a progression it was to start the day with nerves and end it on such a high and positive note. Once we got into the groove, I got out of my head and out of my own way which wouldn't have been possible without your help. Thank you!!

4) How do you feel now that you’ve completed the session?

I feel like a BADASS!! I came in with an open mind and an open heart to trust the process and I did just that. Seeing all of my pictures in the end felt like I was staring at a brand new person but really it was me all along. I just needed to be reminded of how amazing, strong and stunning I already am.

5) Did the experience help give you a more positive perception of yourself?

This experience absolutely helped reaffirm a positive perception of myself. Often as women, we tend to focus on our insecurities and shortcomings so this year I've made a conscious effort to undo that mindset and practice more patience and kindness with myself. So to be able to capture that through the lens of body positivity, female empowerment and self-love, I can now look back at these photos and remember how beautiful and deserving I am of true happiness and joy. That's such a spectacular thing to celebrate!
