Everywhere we go, I’ve been blessed with someone that not only makes life easier, but let’s me shoot them when I have crazy ideas. This sweet friend of mine is pure light – brilliant, beautiful and kind. I’m so grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to work with her!

How did you feel before your session?
A bit apprehensive and self conscious; I hadn’t done boudoir with a professional photographer before so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I had looked at your work before and trusted you to give me good results.

How did you feel AFTER your session? Did anything change about how you see yourself?
I felt very empowered and more beautiful than I could remember feeling in a while! Even before I saw the pictures I felt more confident in myself and more sexy just because of the session itself.

If you were recommending this experience to your best friend, what would you say? How would you convince them to have their own experience?
I would tell them that it doesn’t initially seem like the type of thing that would impact you that much, but it really does help with your body image and confidence! In a way it feels like being able to see yourself through someone else’s eyes who thinks that your absolutely gorgeous. That, and having a photographer that hypes you up and gets just as excited about your images makes you feel so badass and amazing even before you see the final product! It’s such an experience that anyone who wants more confidence in themselves should do.

What was your favorite part of your session?
I think my favorite part of my session was just how comfortable I felt. Manda was so good at making me laugh and feel amazing and comfortable in my own skin that I feel like at one point I forgot that I was completely naked except for a sheet! That and just her reactions to when she took a great shot really made me feel amazing.
