I first met Miss K by chance one morning at the gym.
I saw her gorgeous purple hair and all of her tattoos, and I couldn’t help but let her know just how gorgeous she was!
I didn’t know just how much that compliment would impact her. But as she has been working to better her relationship with her body image, the words from a stranger were a welcome reframe from how she sees herself.
Deciding to step in front of the camera for a boudoir session can be a deeply personal and transformative experience.
At LeZandra Photography, we specialize in helping women in Norfolk and the surrounding areas embrace their bodies, build confidence, and embark on journeys of self-love. One of our incredible clients recently shared her experience, and we are beyond grateful for her heartfelt words.
Why She Chose Boudoir Photography in Norfolk
“I decided to do a boudoir session to feel beautiful about my body and start a journey of healing and self-love.”
Many of our clients, just like her, struggle with body image and body dysmorphia. Boudoir photography is not just about the photos; it’s about seeing yourself through a new, empowering lens that highlights your strength and beauty.
Why She Chose LeZandra Photography
“There were so many beautiful photos of people where I could feel the empowerment. I wanted to feel beautiful just like every person that worked with the photographer. They looked comfortable and AMAZING. I wanted a photographer with good energy and personality, and LeZandra had ALL the good vibes and everything I was looking for.”
My goal is always to create a safe, empowering space where you can feel celebrated and confident, no matter where you are in your self-love journey. This shit is hard. It is not for the weak. Choosing to love yourself in a world that is constantly selling you on ways to change and be better is a radical act. Choosing to heal your body image takes conscious effort.
As somebody who has made this my life’s mission, I find myself slipping form time to time. It’s during these time’s I have found that leaning in has led to the most growth. Choosing to confront these limiting beliefs head one reminds me that I have the power here.
The Pre-Session Nerves
“I was super nervous because I’ve never done anything like this before. I was scared I wasn’t ‘model material’ or beautiful enough to even have a shoot for myself. I wasn’t sure if I could do it or be comfortable with myself going into this.”
If you’ve ever felt self-doubt, you’re not alone. We are here to remind you that boudoir photography is for EVERY body, and our Norfolk studio is designed to make you feel safe and supported throughout your experience.
The Hair and Makeup Experience
“I had never had my makeup done by a professional before, and I felt so beautiful! I was amazed by the results and super happy. I was nervous at first about someone else doing my makeup and touching my face, but she made me feel comfortable and like I could trust her.”
Our professional hair and makeup team in Norfolk works their magic to enhance your natural beauty, ensuring you feel confident and radiant from the inside out.
The Session Itself
“AMAZING! I loved every second of it. It was a very welcoming environment. LeZandra was WONDERFUL! Such a sweetheart and so kind. She made me feel comfortable, and I had so much fun. All my nerves were gone! From the moment I sat down to get my makeup done. I couldn’t have asked for a better shoot!”
We pride ourselves on creating a judgment-free, body-positive environment where you can embrace yourself fully and freely.
