Miss T’s Boudoir Testimonial | Released to the Wild!
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 T., who was photographed at our previous boudoir studio in downtown Nashville, Tennessee (before we opened our current luxury studio in East Nashville)!
Tell us about yourself?
I am 38 years young…. lol, okay but really 38 years old. I am currently going through a divorce from a marriage of 9 years. I work as a Medical Laboratory Scientist at a local hospital. My little Chihuahua is named Pixie. I have had her for 15 years and she is just as cute as ever and I’m constantly told she looks like a puppy. I love dancing and any kind of yoga… goat yoga, aerial yoga, hot yoga…. I love them all!
How did you hear about Holly Douglas & Co and what made you want to book with us?
I actually saw Holly Douglas & Co. on Instagram as a random advertisement I think. Boy, am I glad I did! I was interested from the first picture because everything was so pretty and sharp! She had made each person look like art, and her settings are unmatched to other sets I have seen. The images overall had a unique touch to them that I was just drawn to.
What was your initial reason for booking?
As I am going through a divorce, I wanted to show myself that I still got it, even after all this stress; I’ve got it! I had noticed my self-confidence dropped, and remembered I had built so much confidence with a boudoir photoshoot before, so this… this photoshoot was going to act as kind of a present to myself for being “released to the wild” again 🤣.
Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they?
My expectations were to have a great day and feel like a sexy lady the entire day, especially during the photoshoot…. And I did!!! Holly is fantastic! She does it all! She by far exceeded my expectations as she made me feel not just sexy, but comfortable in my “sexiness.”
Were you nervous about the shoot beforehand? If so, what were you most nervous about?
I was definitely nervous. I just had an emergency surgery in September so my body has a few new scars that I wasn’t sure if I would be comfortable showing. However, Holly made all of those nerves and negative worries about my new scars go away instantly, as soon as I came through the door! The atmosphere of the studio is so relaxing as well that the entire experience was great without any of those pesky nerves.
Did you become more comfortable after the session started? If so, what helped to relax your nerves?
Once I got to the studio, Holly welcomed me through the door and made me feel welcome instantly. She had music playing, and the relaxing atmosphere relaxed my nerves immediately. Holly just has a way of making you feel comfortable and like you’re with a friend you’ve known for years.
How did you feel during your session?
I felt sexy and confident during the photoshoot. I chose items from the client closet and they looked so good and were even very comfortable. Anytime I felt nervous, or thought, ‘am I even doing this right?’ Holly would be there encouraging me and telling me how “pretty” or “smokin” I looked, which then would make me feel great & I’d get more confident and comfortable with each compliment. She also gave directions on how to pose and what to do with each arm and leg very well. I definitely felt like a goddess by the end of it.
Describe how you felt when you saw your images for the first time.
I could not believe how great I looked! She had me stunned, and again feeling like a goddess. I think I just kept repeating, “wow”and “NO WAY!” She made me not only look so beautiful, but feel it too!
What was your favorite part of the experience and why?
All of it. From the time I opened the door, to the time I closed the door exiting the studio; it was all a wonderful experience! Holly does it all, greets you with a calming energy & then becomes your hype girl. This made all of it fun! But, if I had to choose one moment, it would have been posing on the balcony while playing my guitar. I’m kind of a mix between a country & city girl. A balcony like that is where I would want to play if I actually lived in a big city. And I mean, it was kinda cool to be wearing hardly nothing on a balcony.
Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman?
Yes, I am learning to give myself some grace and quit being so harsh on myself with my body image. These images and this entire experience has shown me I am a goddess. I am gorgeous. I am beautiful and one sexy lady.
What advice would you give to another woman considering a boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co?
Do it! Do it! Do it now! Just take the jump! If you don’t know what to buy, that’s okay, pose in the buff or have Holly and her team help you with the client closet.
Would you recommend Holly Douglas & Co for the luxury boudoir experience to others?
Most definitely!
Is there anything else you'd like to add to your interview?
This entire experience has been great for my soul and my self-confidence.
Thank you for this boudoir experience testimonial, Miss T.!
