This year I did my first ever Boudoir Giveaway. It was such a great experience because I was able to talk to so many women and meet ladies I might not have met otherwise. I loved hearing all the different reasons why people wanted to come into the studio to experience a photo shoot. Ms. P was one of three lucky session winners. She entered the Giveaway because she wanted to do something different and celebrate herself as he grows older. I always tell women that there is never a perfect age or time to do a boudoir shoot. In fact, I recommend multiple sessions over time. Here is what Ms. P said about her experience with Her Story Images:

“I wanted to do a boudoir session because it’s something that is totally new to me. Back home in Malaysia, we don’t do things like this. I’m close to 50 years old, and I think I am at my best shape that I could be. Especially during the pandemic because I do work out, so I wanted to capture my body before I get even older. 

Before my photo session, I felt very nervous because I am a very camera shy person. I don’t know what to do with my hands and my legs. I don’t know how to pose for pictures so I worried. I was very nervous but I was also looking forward to it because I just wanted to see myself in a different way because it’s not something you see every day. I think it’s a good way to capture my best self right now at this moment and also to remind myself to love yourself.

The day of my session, I came in the early morning and everything felt great. Niki was very friendly and so was Diana. We just talked while we did my makeup and I felt very relaxed. It wasn’t like we were doing a job. It was like we are friends and doing something meaningful and exciting. So at that time I felt very relaxed. Niki really helped me a lot of feel comfortable and not so worried about myself.

When I saw the photos, I never thought I could be like this. Especially there were a lot of poses that I have never done in my whole life. I do look good, and I’m happy that I can see myself in a different way!  I feel sexy, confident and happy.

My advice to anyone thinking of doing a boudoir session is go ahead and do it…don’t think too much. Be confident and believe in yourself!”
