When this stunning bride booked her boudoir almost a year in advance, I knew we were in for something magical – and I can confirm, this empowered portrait session does not disappoint. From the very start this bride was all in, planning every detail with care and fully embracing the process.
The fact that she added a Rain Session onto the Studio Experience made my heart skip a beat. It’s been a while since I’ve danced through raindrops with a client, and this reminded me exactly why I love them so much.
This session was ultimately a celebration of perseverance. She had just completed a major weight-loss journey and she was beaming with pride for her strength, commitment, and the joy she received in return. That emotion radiated from her in every single frame.
Now, I know it’s been a minute since we’ve seen the Rain Room. But I’m so glad this bride decided to go for it! This section resulted in some of my favorite stills from the shoot. There’s something about letting go and embracing the elements that brings out a different kind of beauty. It’s bold, fierce, and confident – just like her!
Every client gets a little sneak peek to obsess over a week after our session. And when I sent her the preview photo, her reaction had me filled with happiness. She was gushing over not only how she looked, but about how she felt.
To anyone considering a boudoir experience but need a little nudge, this is your reminder that you’re worthy exactly as you are. Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply saying “in this season, this is me” your session is about celebrating you. With all the moments of strength that brought you through this journey of reverence, let’s make some magic in the storm.
