I feel more aware of Self-Acceptance | Northern Virginia Boudoir Photography
Self acceptance, in my opinion, is something that I think may be on the same level if not, more than self love. We hear the term “self love” thrown around a lot and I think somewhere along the way, it’s a lost a bit of meaning. Now don’t get me wrong, self love is important, but self acceptance just hits different. I feel like it goes a bit deeper. In order to embrace you, the whole you, there needs to be an acceptance. I mean, if you don’t accept you, how do you love yourself?
A boudoir shoot in our Washington DC boudoir studio is definitely steps in the right direction when it comes your journey of self love and acceptance.
When Ms. F had her session, I remember her feeling apprehensive and nervous just like all my clients do, and about midway through the shoot, I could see her get a bit more comfortable and by the end, she was walking out of the studio way taller, makeup and hair still in tact, ready to take on whatever came her way. That’s the feeling I love seeing my clients take with them when they leave the studio. Best feeling in the world!
In her own words:
How would you rate your boudoir experience on a scale of 1-10?: ABSOLUTE 10! If I can give 100, I would!
How has your boudoir experience affected you or changed you?: I feel more aware of Self-Acceptance. Just be me and celebrate being me every single day.
I guess I discovered a different side of myself during the photoshoot, that it is okay to step out of your comfort zone, be vulnerable and embrace your feminine energy (oh yes, I went totally nekid and it felt so FREE)
What advice would you give someone who was nervous about or hesitant to book their own boudoir experience with me? : Use that nerve and get out there! You will be surprised on what you can do and how GREAT you will look.
And, Julie is AMAZING, she has this warmth about her, it feels like you are just having a fun and creative girls day out together. I completely forgot that it was a photoshoot session after my first shot.
Is there anything at all you would change about your boudoir experience?: NOPE! I would do it again and again in a heartbeat. I love that Julie and I can explore art and creativity through lens together.
