There’s this bizarre notion that I’ve seen fairly often among my clients and it’s this: “LeZandra takes great photos, but I don’t think it will work for ME.” Boudoir is for everyone. Every type, every body, every style, every personality. A huge part of what I do is getting to know YOU and creating your […]

When I say that almost every single client is worried that this process intimidates EVERY. SINGLE. CLIENT. I’m not kidding. The hardest part of being a boudoir photographer is seeing how prevalent low self-esteem is – regardless of size. The best part of being a boudoir photographer is being able to squash those insecurities and […]

Societal pressures to meet a certain “ideal” are bad enough, but when you add criticism from your partner? It takes on a whole other level of intensity. Miss M spent far too much time hearing she wasn’t good enough and finally made the decision to walk away. As a result of all that mental fuckery, […]

Every client is so, so special to me. It means so much that people come to our downtown Norfolk boudoir studio and open their hearts to this experience. Miss A visited us a couple months ago and she slayed her session. Read below for some of her thoughts about her experience.   Why did you […]

One of the things I struggled with the most as I grew up was the fact that I didn’t see women on the magazine covers or tv who looked like me. From my size, to my body, and even my frizzy hair, the representation just wasn’t there. As a little girl, it left me constantly […]

At the beginning of every year I sit down and work on a list of goals. I reflect on the previous year and see where I could have improved. I’ve been doing this for several years now, rarely deviating. The list of goals always seemed to resemble the year before. Shoot more, be more streamlined, […]

“My confidence as a woman has increased tenfold. I am more outspoken about my sexuality and am not afraid to just be me. It lit a fire under me that isn’t going anywhere for a very long time. I feel empowered to face anything that is ahead of me. I look back at my photos […]
