From Struggle to Empowerment

I’ve done a boudoir session before. While I did have some fun doing it, it wasn’t the experience I was looking for. Over the past few years, I have wanted to do another session, but had no idea what I wanted. I researched different studios around the Birmingham area, started piecing together what I wanted, but I couldn’t find a studio that I was just in love with.

One day, I was scrolling through Facebook and Elevation Boudoir popped up. I looked at the page and found the Instagram page. I fell in LOVE with the pictures. I read the reviews and saw nothing but amazing reviews. I instantly knew this studio was the one for me. Leading up to my session date, I was beyond nervous with a smidge of excitement but as I got closer to my date, the excitement was slowly starting to set in. I bought several lingerie outfits because I couldn’t make up my mind. I did so much to prepare for the shoot. I added more to my skin care, wanted to make sure my red hair “popped”, and even started drinking more water.. lol!

Day of my session arrives and I am doing all I need to do to get ready. On my drive there, my teeth were chattering from being nervous. Once I got to the studio and walked up the stairs, I was greeted by Justin and Rachel, all smiles. Instantly conversation started and it kept on through hair and makeup. Nerves went completely away and it was a good feeling to get to know them and who they were. When I saw my hair and makeup, I couldn’t believe it was me. My hair and makeup were on point! I loved it so much. Rachel was so helpful when it came to my outfits. She picked out a blue set that the moment I put on, I felt incredible in!

Throughout the entire session, both Justin and Rachel were so patient, supportive, provided amazing direction, and encouraging. It was seriously like having your own personal cheerleaders in the background. I felt so beautiful, sexy, and the confidence that I’ve lost was coming back. I even overcame some fears. When I saw my pictures for the first time, I was almost in shock. I was like there is no way that’s me, but that was ME. I couldn’t believe it.

While I wanted to do this session for a wedding anniversary gift for my husband, I was realizing that this session was for me. It was that confidence boost that I’ve needed for so long. It has changed so much for me in all the good ways. I have started really paying attention to my mental and physical health more. I have felt like me again since my session. I remember walking out of the studio with the BIGGEST smile on my face and like I had this huge weight off my shoulders. As crazy as it sounds, this is what I needed. I needed a reminder that I am beautiful and that I can carry myself with confidence. I also needed a reminder that it is absolutely okay to take a break from being a full time mom, wife, and employee to do something specifically for me.


Would I do anything different about my session?? Absolutely not! It was perfect for me from the beginning to the end. I only wish I would have done this sooner. One thing, for sure, I will definitely do this again!
