As my sessions were gifts, I’d have to say that my inspiration to book a future session is my existing experience doing a boudoir shoot.
I was fairly confident in my body before session, as I had been exploring nudism to gain better confidence, but I still had more work to do in that area.
Leading up to session, I was mostly excited but nervous because I didn’t know what to expect or how I’d feel in the moment. Would I feel awkward? Would I feel natural? So I think my anxiety around it stemmed from being uncertain about how I would feel – not that I felt something specific.
During session, I felt comfortable and silly. I felt comfortable to let my silly personality come through – it didn’t feel like a photoshoot but more just having fun in limited clothing lol After session, and before receiving my photos, my body image issues flooded. “What if I looked terrible?… I’m not sexy… I’m gonna look stupid.” Then I got my photos, and I couldn’t believe it was me, and it quieted every loud (nasty) voice in my head and replaced it with a more confident voice telling me I was hot and beautiful.
It’s impacted my life because I am able to look at my body differently. I can look at it more confidently and with a higher appreciation.
My favorite part was when my nerves settled and my personality started coming out. It didn’t take long to get there either – that’s a testament to Alison.
My advice? If you want to, do it. Don’t think about it – just do it. Trust me… it’s worth it. I periodically look at my pictures on days where the ugly voices are louder than the confident voice. I just give the ugly voice reasons to shut the fuck up
