Miss P’s Boudoir Testimonial | Because Life is Too Short
We at Holly Douglas & Co. believe that EVERY woman, man, person and couple should experience a boudoir photoshoot at least once in their lifetimes. We love empowering people and boosting their self-confidence through the art of boudoir photography! Of course, people expect to hear that from us, the boudoir photographers, because we do this for a living. Boudoir testimonials written by our past clients who have actually experienced a boudoir session, on the other hand, are the most convincing! For this reason, Holly Douglas & Co. proudly features a new boudoir experience testimonial each week.
This week's boudoir experience testimonial comes from the gorgeous Miss P., who was photographed in our luxury boudoir studio in East Nashville, Tennessee!
Tell us about yourself?
I am 61 years old. I turn 62 in April. My husband passed away last September. I wanted to do a photo shot for me. I spent the last 8 years taking care of my husband that went through 2 cancers, 2 heart surgeries and a mini stroke. My late husband and I retired to Ecuador 3 years ago. I came back to the Nashville Area in March for the birth of my 1st great-grandchild.
How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?
One of my daughter-in-laws invited me to join the Facebook group after I lost my husband. So when they did the Black Friday Special and I had the dates to return to the states, I bought and booked my session.
What was your initial reason for booking?
I had never done anything like this before, but my outlook on life has changed a lot of the past 6 months. Life is too short not to do new exciting things. You never know how much time you have.
Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?
No not really, I had read other blogs , so knew it would be fun, and it was. Totally felt at ease during the whole process
Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?
Being 61 and plus size, I was nervous about wearing the skimpy outfits, but I shopped around and found things I was comfortable wearing yet revealing. Brought more outfits than I needed, but it gave them plenty to choose from and the ones they picked were perfect for the different rooms and shots.
Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?
Once I arrived I felt very comfortable. Everyone was great at explaining the process and made me feel right at home,
How did you feel during your session?
Completely at ease, the shots that we were trying to accomplish were not only explained but actually showed to me, I am a visual person so that helped tremendously,
Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.
First I was blown away at how many images were taken. I was impressed with a lot of them before any were even edited or touched ups were made.
What was your favorite part of the experience and why?
Seeing the images and feeling so pretty and sexy, how they really made my eyes pop.
Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?
I feel more comfortable and confident. Looking forward to actually wearing sexier clothes.
What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?
It helped me to actually make sure the outfits I brought I was comfortable in and they fit. I had several that I thought I would like but wasn’t comfortable with how they looked. So I would have been disappointed if I brought the ones I thought I wanted the photo shoot in. So do your homework about your outfits.
Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?
Absolutely, they always answered any of my questions and were quick to reply to emails.
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your interview?
It doesn’t matter your age nor your weight. I highly recommend doing this for yourself. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, you will be glad you did,
Thank you, Miss P., for sharing this boudoir experience testimonial!
