Miss S came in to the studio for her album unveiling from her boudoir photography session a few months ago. She has had some big shifts in life lately. We both needed to catch up each other’s lives. 

 

 

 

She sat there with a stack of her business cards in my hand and set them down. 

 

“I’m not giving those out to anybody,” she said. “That’s not you anymore.”

 

And she was right. 

 

I have this stack of business cards that are BEAUTIFUL, very well made. I never really handed them out because, honestly, shortly after I got them I separated from my ex husband. And that last name that is on there- it’s not mine anymore. 

 

It’s not me anymore. 

 

Miss S said “Maybe before? Yea, maybe. But now, now I can’t. That’s not you. That’s not you anymore.”

 

 

A Boudoir Photographer Sheds Her Old Skin

 

My clients have a way of calling me out. That moment was a BIG perception shift. That’s not me anymore. Maybe this is the whole chance for me. Maybe all of this resistance that I am facing is a SIGN pointing me towards a greater realization.

 

That’s not me anymore. It’s time to shed the skin and it’s TIME to live much more authentically to who I am. 

 

I’ve changed. I’ve been changing internally. The person that I show up as is the old me though. It’s TIME to reconnect the two. 

 

I’m going to be making some big shifts these next few weeks. I’ve realized that Instagram is not really a place for me. We are going to shift to Patreon. 

 

 

A Patreon Boudoir Photography Account

 

I want to be able to show up authentically in a place that I control. In a place that is my own. In a place with people who want to be there, who give a shit, who actually care. I don’t want to waste any more of my time chasing others and trying to craft the perfect fucking Instagram post. 

 

I do feel that there is valuable knowledge that is shared in the studio. This knowledge can be available to more people if we can share on a bigger platform.

 

 

I’m sick of fighting the resistance quite honestly. We’re going to showcase her session, the behind-the-scenes, and the evolution of her alongside my own as we both rewrite our identities. I want to be able to do that for all of my sessions on my Patreon account. 

 

She too is navigating a divorce. She is finding herself, discovering herself, finding out who she is. I find myself in a similar place. 

 

 

 

Let’s hear from Miss S herself…

 

Why did you decide that you wanted to do a boudoir session?

 

It was time to flaunt the more confident me! A lot has changed since my last session, and I truly wanted to capture those moments with an amazing artist.

 

What made you decide to hire me as your boudoir photographer?

 

Why not you? Like I’ve said plenty of times before, you are a dope ass person to be around. I feel absolutely comfortable when around you, so I knew no one else would be able to capture what I wanted to portray in this new era of my life.

 

 

How were you feeling before your boudoir photography shoot? What was going through your head?

 

I was feeling excited. This was going to be my second time and I just could not wait.

 

How did you feel about having your hair and makeup done?

 

Can I book them next time! They slayyyyeeeedddd!!!! I got so many compliments afterwards.

 

 

Now that you’ve had your photoshoot, how was it?

 

It was such a vibe. I had an amazing time allowing LeZandra to be creative in her element.

 

What would you say to someone considering a boudoir photography session?

 

Do it! You don’t have to be a specific size or look a certain way to feel sexy, or confident.

 

Is there anything I could do that would have made this experience completely perfect?

 

It was already that in my eyes! I enjoyed every bit of the shoot. We just have a good time. Continue to let your inner beauty shine through.
