It breaks my heart to hear so often from my clients that they never considered themselves beautiful, sexy or feminine. However, it feels my heart with so much joy to capture them the way I see them. Unique and beautiful each in their own way. It is an incredible feeling to see their reaction when they see their boudoir photos for the first time. 

Recently I had the pleasure to photograph a boudoir session with Juanita – a gorgeous curvy Goddess, who didn’t see her own beauty. During the session, I was so excited, from what I was capturing with my camera.  I was almost jumping up and down. I said to Juanita: “You look like a goddess!” She only would roll with her yes.

We scheduled Juanita’s viewing session one week after her boudoir photoshoot. I couldn’t wait for it! 

However, when she was looking at her images I would stop to breathe and watch her face trying to guess what is going on inside of her. Does she like her photos as much as I do? Does she like them at all?...

Well here is what Juanita wrote about her boudoir experience:

Having a boudoir session was something that I had always wanted to do but felt I would look hideous, coupled with the fact I do not like to be photographed!!

I had my photo taken by Marina during a boot camp I participated in and instantly felt I had a connection with her.

Knowing Marina had experienced what I was experiencing (at the time of the boot camp) is what made me feel I could trust her to take photos of me when I feel I look my worst (no clothes on)!!!
I was contemplating (several times ) on cancelling the session but I felt I really needed to do this for myself and take myself out of the comfort zone I had been living in for so long!

I was extremely nervous in the days leading up to the sessions and the morning of!

It was such an unnatural feeling standing there, barely dressed, having my photo taken.

Marina was so wonderful and supportive during the shoot even getting excited as she was taking photos!! Meanwhile, I was thinking I don't know why she is excited I am sure I look awful!!!

I was excited but nervous when it was time to see my images. Usually, I detest looking at myself in photos so I wasn't sure how I was going to react. All I kept thinking was don't cry!!

Once I saw the images I was surprised at how good they were and the fact I didn't look as hideous as I thought!!!!

I actually looked beautiful, and this is a completely new feeling for me.

My husband tells me all the time that I am beautiful and sexy but I just don't see it or I didn't until I had the boudoir session and saw the photos!!!

I would recommend women of all ages, shapes, and sizes to do this for yourself. It does not matter what our physical self looks like as with these photos it is our inner beauty that shines through.

Thank you, Marina, for taking me on this adventure I would not have wanted to do it with anyone else.

Absolutely love, love your work xxx Juanita
