Denver Women’s Photographer | The Gorgeous Ms. I
If I had a dollar for every time someone told me they couldn’t do boudoir because they’re not super thin, I would be a very rich woman. Seriously. As a top Denver women’s photographer I hear this ALL THE TIME.
And I’m just going to step on my soapbox for a moment and give you all a little tough love and say BULLSHIT.
Boudoir is for EVERY WOMAN. Thin, curvy, large, rolls, tall, short, dark skin, medium skin, light skin, super pale skin, long hair, short hair, moms, sisters, wives, grandmas, and ANYONE IN BETWEEN.
I wanted to share this with Ms. I’s feature because I know how nervous she was before her session. She said “I’m just learning to love the body I am in. I have not had the most confidence and have not always been told I am beautiful. It’s a learning process for sure!”
Very, very few of my clients come in 100% confident and without any nerves. Some do – and for those women, you ROCK your confidence, I love it! But for everyone else, I feel you. Taking your clothes off in front of ANYONE new is scary, and when they have a camera, that fear is multiplied.
Ms. I is a strong woman with a great sense of humor and a killer smile, and we had a ton of fun in her session. She responded to a model call when I wanted to get some nude shots, which several clients told me was even more scary than the thought of lingerie!
Secret share – as a top Denver Women’s photographer, nude shots are some of my favorites. They’re just so natural and relaxed, and we aren’t worried about wardrobe malfunctions because of straps moving or wedgies. TMI? Believe me, we talk about a lot of TMI subjects in sessions!
Ms. I reminds me of a model for an art class – curves, long hair, and great skin. She looks like she stepped straight out of a beautiful Italian painting. Paired with an awesome personality and lots of laughter, it was such an honor to work with her!
She had a little to say about her experience too:
