I first met Miss B several years ago. She found herself on her own self love journey and found her way to my studio.Â
At the time of her first session, she was in a space of rebuilding. She had just experienced a heavy loss just a week before her session was initially planned. We reschedule for a time when she was ready, and the result was truly a breakthrough.
She truly did walk a bit taller. The confidence absolutely radiated. It was as though she was owning every single step of her journey, because she truly was.
Despite this loss, she pushed through to achieve huge goals and still honored the space and pace that she needed.
A few years later, she found herself celebrating new love and wanting to gift her partner something gorgeous to match the previous version of her.
Shortly after her session she got engaged and I SWEAR it’s like the universe just knows when you’re in a beautiful space because it delivers love that meets you.
It has been so beautiful watching her as she has grown over these years. She truly has just continued to grow more confident and more rooted in her power.
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 knew I wanted to book a session to boost my self confidence and try to see what others around me could already see.”
That sentence hit me hard—because it’s something I hear from so many of our clients. We spend so much time questioning our worth, struggling to believe the love and admiration others offer so freely.
This experience gave her the chance to finally meet the woman everyone else already saw—powerful, radiant, and worthy as hell.
Why She Chose LeZandra Photography
“I have worked with LeZandra before and she is always so positive, encouraging, supportive, and my number one fan when I am in the studio. Her energy is infectious and she really sets the tone for the whole experience.”
That right there is the heartbeat of what I strive to create. From the moment you walk through our doors, this experience isn’t just about posing, but it’s about being seen, hyped, and held in a space that lets your confidence unfold naturally.
I’m not here to change you. I’m here to celebrate you exactly as you are and I’ll be your loudest, most unapologetic hype woman every step of the way.
The Pre-Session Nerves
“I was nervous and scared that I wasn’t going to be able to relax and enjoy my moment. But those thoughts quickly faded.”
It’s so common to walk in with nerves. We’re taught to shrink, to hide, to question whether we’re “too much” or “not enough.” But that fear? It doesn’t stand a chance once you’re in the studio.
The shift happens the moment you realize you’re safe to just be. To take up space. To feel powerful, soft, sexy, and celebrated…all at once.
You don’t have to “perform” here. You get to exhale. You get to be. And that’s where the real magic begins.
The Hair and Makeup Experience
“The hair and make up team are phenomenal every time. So supportive and love to create a one of a kind look.”
They don’t just enhance your beauty, they help you feel it.
The Session Itself
“It was invigorating, exciting, and overall made me feel like a badass. Going through the photo shoot really helped me to explore myself and appreciate all that my body can do.”
Reading this gave me chills, because that’s the kind of transformation we live for in the studio. Watching someone drop into their power, let go of the noise, and start to see their body not just as something to critique, but something to celebrate… it’s everything.
You were bold enough to show up, open enough to explore, and strong enough to truly see yourself, and that’s the real badassery and where the transformation happens.
Words of Advice for Those Considering a Boudoir Session in Norfolk
“Don’t wait for the right moment, the last 5 pounds to drop, or for the nerves to go away. Do it scared and experience the moment that you start to see yourself as a powerful and amazing person.”
This right here is the truth: stop waiting for the “perfect” moment, the smaller body, or the fear to disappear.
Do it while you’re scared. Do it before you think you’re ready.
Because the moment you step in front of that camera and choose to be seen? That’s the moment everything shifts.
You’ll walk away seeing yourself with new eyes, feeling powerful, radiant, and worthy as hell.
Final Thoughts
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time and I can’t wait to see if an opportunity to do it again arrives.”
Hearing this makes my heart so full! It was such a joy having you in the studio, and I’m already looking forward to the next time our paths cross. Here’s to more moments of celebration, confidence, and self-discovery. You’ll always have a place here when you’re ready for round three!
