Boudoir in Berlin

This was my third boudoir session with Louisa from Berlin. Here is what she says about her boudoir experience.

"Marina is a friend of mine. She inspires me not just through the way she lives her life but also through her photographic work.  

I had my first boudoir session with Marina in September 2015.  It was such a fun and exciting experience.  There was no place for awkwardness, even though I spent half the day in front of a camera wearing nothing more than a set of bra and undies!  I was a bit shocked, in a positive way, when I saw the results of the boudoir shoot. All I could think was, "Really? That's me?!"...

We both decided it was just the beginning of a long-lasting project and that we will meet once a year for my boudoir session.

The experience made me pay more attention to myself, to the way I move and what I look like. 

 In August this year, I had my third boudoir shoot with Marina and I can see and feel that self-confidence and body image is changing from year to year. Basically, the idea of documenting the transformation of my body is working well.  It is a wonderful way for me to see the changes and reflect on my life through Marina's camera lens. I love it!

However, I don't believe it would be possible for me to create those photographs with another photographer.  Marina knows me quite well; my little 'pet hates' and the body parts I am more self-conscious about. Most of the time she knows what is happening in my life. I trust her. For that reason, I believe, she can capture the 'real me' in a very intimate way.

For me, boudoir photography is about letting someone gaze into your soul, touch your heart and share your fears and your dreams. I believe Marina has the ability to interact with her clients in a way that makes them feel empowered, even when they are naked, no clothes and no secrets.

I am very excited and cannot wait for my boudoir shoot next year.
