Boudoir is for anyone at ANY age | Washington DC Boudoir Photography
 

How has your boudoir experience affected you or changed you?: I felt like a million bucks after the session and even better once I saw the Photos! Julies is amazing at her job but also as a person.

What advice would you give someone who was nervous about or hesitant to book their own boudoir experience with me? : Even at 57 I was extremely nervous and it took me along time to get the courage up. I finally did and I felt comfortable the moment I walked in the door. The makeup and hair artist was amazing and Julie made me feel like a friend and beautiful lady. She made posing a breeze and I highly recommend this for any woman of any age!!

Is there anything at all you would change about your boudoir experience?: NOPE! I want to do it again when I turn 60 :)

Confidence is Contagious
 

K was super pumped about her shoot and going through a life change, what a great way to celebrate this new chapter in her life. 99% of all my clients are unsure about doing a shoot and don’t think they can do something like this. But when she saw her friend do a shoot and saw her photos from her session, that gave her the confidence that she too, can have this experience!

To me, this is the perfect example of women uplifting other women!

What inspired you to do a boudoir session?: A friend of mine going through a similar life change

What made you decide to schedule your session with Julie?: The first time I saw a photo my friend shared with me I was hooked!

What was your biggest fear in doing a boudoir session? Did it come true? What happened instead?: I think the biggest "fear" was the unknown. I had never really thought of myself that way or thought I would be able to find outfits to wear that would help me feel good about my body after 2 kids.

What was your favorite part of your boudoir session?: Every, single, second of it. From the moment I got in the car to head over there until the moment I left and everything in between. I just took it all in and enjoyed every second.

If you were to recommend us to your best friend, what would you say?: I already have! I have 2 friends so far that I know are going to schedule sessions - one of whom I actually went to go see immediately after getting my photos to show her and right then she emailed Julie ;) You don't have to SAY anything - just show them your photos and that's it ;)

Her Session Made Her Grateful for Her Body
 

You might have heard me say this before, but a boudoir session for yourself is a way forward toward self acceptance. I know you might be planning this as a gift to someone else knowing this is really a gift for yourself. Even though this wasn’t a gift for anyone but herself, S, celebrated herself the best way she saw she could. Which was with a boudoir session after seeing someone in a video who has the same medical condition as her. You can check out the original video that inspired her HERE

To be apart of S’s journey toward self acceptance and love is an absolute honor and and I’m so grateful that she chose and trusted me to show her sensual side which will serve as a reminder for years to come when she flips through her album of images at how strong, beautiful and bad ass she is!

How would you rate your boudoir experience on a scale of 1-10?: 10

How has your boudoir experience affected you or changed you?: I struggle with a long term medical condition that has some unfortunate aesthetic/physical side effects and it’s been a struggle to view my body in a positive manner, especially as I’m in and out of doctors appointments every week. I had started to feel like a science experiment instead of a human. I was only seeing myself as a medical condition, but this experience has made me grateful for the things my body still does for me.

What advice would you give someone who was nervous about or hesitant to book their own boudoir experience with me? : I wouldn’t be hesitant at all - it’s a once in a lifetime (or more) opportunity and something really unique. There’s no reason NOT to give it a try and Julie coaches you every step of the way. In terms of advice - I made myself a little crazy preparing for the photoshoot, I was distracted in my personal life because I was focusing on workouts, eating clean, buying outfits, designing my hair nails and makeup ideas... I accidentally shut the garage door on my car as I was still backing out, oops. Although I’m proud of the preparation I put into it, I wished I had paced myself a little more somehow. I’m naturally an intense person and put 100% effort into everything, but I could have paced better!
