Having a photographic reminder of the very thing that seems so scary and so out of reach is such a powerful reminder of why that inner critic is just absolutely wrong.

Ms. R came to our Northern Virginia Boudoir Studio not sure what to expect, but after guiding her through the whole experience and even referring her to Le Bustiere for her outfit selections, she felt prepared and even more amazing after receiving her photos. Which of course is our goal here Julie Socher Boudoir.

Let’s she what she has to say:

How has your boudoir experience affected you or changed you?: Since doing my boudoir photo shoot, I can't tell you how much my life has changed. When I'm down or feeling anxious about whatever is going on in my life, I immediately look at my photos and they make me feel as if I can concur anything that comes my way, my confidence has been boosted 100%. I can't begin to explain how much good I feel for myself and for my abilities, this has been an amazing experience. It was so good I feel like doing another one already!!

What advice would you give someone who was nervous about or hesitant to book their own boudoir experience with me? : Please don't be nervous, Julie makes it so easy, it's as if I knew her a really long time. She knows what she is doing and makes you feel as comfortable as ever! Just remember that you can do anything you put your mind to, and that anything is possible. Julie will guide you each and every step of the way so that you know what to do and you feel 100% fabulous!

Is there anything at all you would change about your boudoir experience?: Absolutely nothing, it totally exceed all my expectations of what it would be like, I loved it so much.

Something I love about boudoir photography, is a lot of the women I meet do a boudoir session for many different reasons. And I can totally relate to C for her reason. Boudoir is used to celebrate new milestones, new relationships, and new chapters in life. So as C is entering her new chapter, what better way to mark this time with an empowering boudoir session in the Washington DC studio!

I went through a really rough marriage and separation. My self esteem was down in the dumps. I had heard women talk about this being an empowering experience and wanted to try it for myself. The moment I saw Julie’s images on her website, I loved the dark, moody style and knew that was exactly the manner I wanted to be captured.

I’m naturally very self conscious and was certain I would feel awkward and embarassed being practically naked in front of someone I had met for 20 minutes once in my life. 

This absolutely did not happen! Julie and her beautiful, sunny smile greeted me at the entrance to her gorgeous studio. Kristen was there and between the two of them I felt welcome and began to ease up. A glass of bubbly helped me along, and after being pampered in hair and makeup, the session began. 

At that point I worries about not knowing what to do. But Julie jumped right in from the beginning and explained the terms she would be using and showed me exactly how to pose. It felt like the most natural experience ever, and the last thing I was was self conscious! I couldn’t believe that I didn’t think twice about walking out of the dressing area in nothing but fishnets without second guessing myself for one second. 

Julie is warm and sweet and one of those people you feel you’ve known forever within moments. She’s chatty and funny and makes the entire experience just wonderful!!

When I got up the next morning and went to work feeling like my back was a little straighter and I was walking. Little taller next to the self-confidence Julie and her camera somehow bestowed upon me!

Every woman should give herself the gift of a boudoir session with Julie. I looked at several options but judging from the results of my photos, there is no question Julie was done the best possible option! You will feel confident and beautiful and on top of the world!

Let’s chat!
