J. was determined to make it here – she had an idea that a boudoir shoot would help bolster her self image (and we all could use that – couldn’t we!) So, she came by train from several hours away, booked a hotel, and made a week-end of pampering herself. After make-up and hairstyling, we talked about what she was looking for, and how she hoped the photo shoot could help. Here’s one of the more “appropriate” images from that shoot, and one of her comments afterwards:
“Just wanted to write you a note to say “Thank you” for the session and the photo. You were very patient with someone who is just getting over such low self esteem. I really love that photo I bought. I never realized THAT’s what I look like…that that is what other people see when they look at me. I never realized how beautiful I am until I saw that photo. I do look like Teresa Heinz with a bit of Shakira thrown in!( Shakira’s softer look anyway….in her latest look the video is sexy, but the still photos are a bit scary) I will definitely be back as soon as I can for another session”
Thank you – J. – that’s why we do this!

I still have this picture saved…hope everyone realizes I wasn’t serious about thinking I’m beautiful or looking like Teresa or Shakira LOL…”I wish”… on all three of those. It was just cute…I wanted a photo shoot inspired by those two women so badly…and I can see a blend of their styles in the outfit and posing here. It was certainly fun…a nice fun day after having one of the worst weeks ever.
