Leading Up To Your Shoot
I’ve done boudoir shoots before but not in a studio that is only for boudoir. I new I wanted to embrace my body before my husband and I start trying to expand our family. As well as creating an album for my husband to open before our big wedding. I spent time researching different photographers in the area and ayla’s style spoke to me the most.
Your Shoot
Since I’ve done a boudoir shoot before I kind of new what I was getting into before I arrived. Even though I did not utilize her client closet I’ve never heard of a photographer having such a large collection with so much variety. Jess absolutely killed it on my makeup, she did a natural lip for my bridal images so that it would be close to how I’ll look on the big day, and then switch my lipstick to her classic red shade and I felt like a total badass and couldn’t believe it was me in the images. Ayla was descriptive with her poses and I appreciated her actually doing the poses with me so I truly understood what she was talking about. Being in a studio basically built for boudoir was awesome, there were so many different options as to what we could do, like the shower set up, that I’ve never done before.
The Nitty-Gritty
Stop thinking and pushing it off, just do it! Honestly, it is such an empowering feeling to see yourself look so powerful, yet sexy and beautiful at the same time. It will build your confidence and Ayla tells jokes so you don’t focus on what you may look like while posing. I loved working this team and look forward to doing it again.
Review
From the second I walked into the studio to the second I left, Ayla and her team maybe me feel welcomed and comfortable. Jess did wonderfully with my makeup and was able to provide me with a natural look for my bridal images and a more sultry look for my other outfits. I’ve never felt so badass then when she put the red lipstick on. Ayla knows exactly what to do when it comes to posing and working the camera, there wasn’t a single image that was bad (of course I critique my own body but that’s different). It was so difficult to go from over 200 to 40. I hope I get to work with this team again!
