Ms. L – Tacoma Boudoir Photography

Tell us about you, anything you want to share. How old are you? What do you do for a living? Etc.

I’m just an average woman in my 40s who would have never thought I would ever do anything remotely close to a boudoir shoot but after I retired from the military and gained over 50 pounds over the course of 4 years and lost it as a result of my husband and I being committed to encouraging each other to make healthy choices I decided to do this as a surprise for him and to document how I look at my age.

Tell us about everything that lead up to your session. This could be a story about your past that you want to share. Also, things like; What made you decide to do a boudoir session? Did you have any fears about boudoir photography going into your session?

I saw a post on Facebook about entering for a boudoir shoot with Ayla and shared my story on why I would love to do this. She contacted me and immediately made every effort to make me feel comfortable and confident. Since I have never done anything like this before I was nervous and had no idea what to expect. Ayla was available anytime I needed something and she shared so much information throughout the time leading up to the photo session which was so helpful.

Tell us about your session! Was the session different from what you expected it to be? What was the best part of your session? What were you feeling and thinking when you first saw your photographs? What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell me your story.

Ayla and her team were so awesome the day of my session. It was so nice to have her and Rob spend time with me while I was getting hair and make up done to just chat and joke. They did a great job making me feel like family from the very moment I arrived. They are completely professional and welcoming from the first moment I arrived. The review of images immediately after my session was so exciting. I walked away from that session a different woman. I had more confidence then I have ever had. It’s amazing how seeing yourself through a different lens can change so many things.

The nitty-gritty! Any advice you would give to other women when thinking about their boudoir session? What products did you order and what did you think about them when you received them? How did you like working with Ayla and the team?

Ayla and Rob along with the team are very professional and welcoming from the very moment you begin interacting with them. I have never done anything close to this in my life and they have made this nothing but special for me. I can’t wait to have another opportunity to have them work with me. Ayla is so amazing and is very good at working poses and shots to make any woman feel her intersexy! You all are amazing!!

Share the love!
