Does the idea of having a boudoir session make you super nervous? Here’s one client’s experience that left her more body-confident!
“If your the sort of person who appreciates certain small details in photography I would highly recommend Natalie for a boudoir photo session! I was wanting to have photos taken days before turning 30 as a birthday gift to myself and for a future wedding gift to my future husband! I found some really good reviews online of Natalie and when speaking on the phone with her, she was very friendly and enthusiastic about helping me create an image I was looking to find. Weeks leading up to my photoshoot she was very helpful with sending out information on how to help me feel comfortable during the session and addressing concerns I had before I could even ask. On the morning of my photoshoot, I was very nervous and was afraid I might look bad because I had never taken serious photos before. During the session, Natalie was upbeat and excited for me and her hair and makeup artist did a fantastic job of giving me the exact look I had pictured for myself! Natalie had me create a pinboard of the images I was looking for and was good about verbally directing me on how to position myself during the whole shoot, plus she had upbeat songs playing in the background! She was so good about the small details like fixing my necklace or hair. The whole experience itself was fun! After seeing the photos for the first time I was amazed! I wasn’t too confident about my body, but after the photo session, I would rate my body confidence about 8 versus the 4 I was before. I felt more confident about wearing certain clothing I wouldn’t have before. I personally purchased one of the custom albums that came with a 2-image bedside folio. The album is so beautiful and so well put together by Natalie! My advice to other women would be don’t be nervous, it’s actually a really fun experience and I love the photos that I’m able to look back on. They remind me of how beautiful, strong, and independent I am!! Just go for it!!!”
A: I chose to book a boudoir session to get my self-confidence back, and also as a gift for my husband returning home from Deployment.
Q: Did your session boost your self confidence?
A: My body confidence was very low to be honest. I have 2 boys, loose skin, cellulite, and a scar from surgery on my stomach. The session definitely boosted my confidence going from a 5 to a 10. Natalie made me feel so sexy and confident.
Q: What was your favorite part of the boudoir experience?
A: I was nervous but excited for the session. It was so fun to have sexy outfits to wear, as well as feeling beautiful after my makeover. But the most fun honestly was during the session laughing with Natalie, and feeling so confident and beautiful!
Q: What would you say to other women?
A: . This experience was the first time in my life that I did something for myself and would do again in a heartbeat! The investment is worth it, the 2 hour drive (I live in a small town, and she was worth the drive ya’ll!) You are worth it! Drop all the excuses and just go for it. I now have more sense of self love and appreciation thanks to Natalie. <3
I booked a Boudoir session with Natalie to surprise my husband while he was away on Deployment. I was stuck in a rut feeling insecure, and rocking the Yoga pants and messy bun mom look just about every day! I fell into a bit of depression. I was insecure with my body, and found myself taking care of everyone else. It was then that I decided to actually do the session for myself and I’m so glad I did! Natalie makes you feel like you are already friends, she welcomed me in and made me feel comfortable right away. Kate did an amazing job on my hair and makeup as I sipped on my mimosa and enjoyed the girl talk, and how beautiful she made me feel! I honestly didn’t want the photo session to end, I had so much fun! From posing and laughing, and just feeling good about myself. Natalie made me feel incredible and sexy, and I needed that so bad. She gave me back the self confidence that I lost. I still can’t stop looking at the beautiful pictures she created.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard clients say after their session “I wish I could do this all the time!” The truth is, there should be nothing stopping you from experiencing that amazing high of doing something so outside of your everyday that makes you feel daring, liberated, and is just for you. Boudoir is not just a one and done bucket list item. Most of my clients become repeat visitors because the experience itself is so meaningful. They get to see themselves from a new perspective. And let me tell you, once you see how gorgeous and bold you are, its hard to stop with just one shoot! As a returning client, you don’t have the same nerves as the first time you were photographed, and you already know what to expect going into your session.
THIS is why I felt such a strong desire to create something extra special for returning clients. I deeply want you to continue to experience the confidence boosting power of boudoir.

“I wanted to do this for my husband for our 25th wedding anniversary. I was very nervous, I’m not naturally a sexy person. I was afraid I wouldn’t know how to make the faces or the pose. But Natalie was beyond amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable and it was really a fun experience. I now feel I gave myself a gift, more than my husband. I could just sit and look at my boudoir photos! I’m so proud of them and you only live once….so do it for yourself. It’s a gift I will always treasure. A once in a lifetime experience!”
I often hear this from my clients…they book a session to create a sexy gift for their significant other, but after the pampering, after the shoot, after that burst of confidence, they realize the session was also a gift for themselves! Are you ready to give yourself this gift too? Let’s chat – I’m only an email away: hello@boudoirbynatalie.com
Take a minute to list the top 5 things you love in your life. Did you make the cut? I sure hope so because you deserve to be at the top of that list. I know as women loving ourselves is often times one of our biggest struggles. That’s why this fall I’m challenging you to fall in love with yourself!
Step one: Give yourself credit for being the amazing person you are! One of my favorite ways to do this is to journal. At the end of the day it’s so refreshing to look back and list all of the things I have accomplished. Maybe you’re not much of a writer, that’s ok. Take some time each day to take a good look at yourself in the mirror and compliment yourself. While we’re at it feel free to through in a few positive affirmations because who doesn’t need an extra dose of positivity in their day?
Step two: Do the things you love! It can be so easy in our busy lives to forget to make time for ourselves. I encourage you to make a list of things you’ve been wanting to do. It can be checking out a local attraction such as a museum or restaurant, trying out a new workout class or art class, reading a book that’s been on your list, or even just taking nice hot bath. Get that list going and try to consistently check things off. Think of it as dating yourself.
Step 3: Do the shoot! I know it sounds cliche for me to say but it’s true. What better way to give yourself credit for the amazing person you are AND do something you love? I don’t want to sound like a broken record but I absolutely guarantee a boudoir shoot is one experience you will never forget. It’s a sure way to fall in love with yourself and see yourself in a whole new light.
So who’s ready to take this challenge with me? I can’t wait to hear from you along the way. If you are in our FB group or on IG post a picture of what you are doing to #fallinlovewithyourself and #keepaustinsexy. You just never know who you’ll inspire along the way 😉
