Alyssa's Boudoir Experience

1) What made you choose Satin Dauls Boudoir?

I have thought about doing something like this for years and looked up many different photographers. Looking through Satin Dauls posts, it is clear that Brianne works to take beautiful photos of women with all different body types and sizes. That gave me the confidence to reach out to her. 

2) What were you nervous about going into your session?

I assumed that there were two types of people: the ones who looked sexy in photos and the ones like me who could always find a way to look awkward! Brianne gave easy to follow guidance that made posing feel very natural and resulted in beautiful photos.

3) What was your favorite part of the experience?

I loved actually doing the poses and then seeing the photos immediately after- I did not know if I would feel like I was looking at myself or like looking at a stranger since this is a little outside my normal wheel house- but seeing the results so quickly connected me to the experience and made me feel empowered.

4) How do you feel now that you’ve completed the session?

I feel like I enjoyed an experience that I was very nervous about, and accomplishing something that is scary is incredibly empowering. I also feel proud of the photos I have!

5) Did the experience help give you a more positive perception of yourself?

100%. I have never seen myself in the light that Brianne captured on camera, and I usually don't slow down and think about how to enjoy the way my body looks. Sharing the photos with my partner had been wonderful and has made me feel great about myself.

6) Would you recommend Satin Dauls Boudoir to others?

I started recommending it on the way home in the car to everyone I could think of.. seeing the ways you can look beautiful captured like this is something everyone should experience!
