Interview with Miss B
What made you choose Mirrored Images Boudoir? Loved the images I saw on the website! Loved Jenn’s bio and felt her personality would make this all ok.
Was there a reason you wanted to book a session? I am finally at peace with my body image and wanted to celebrate overcoming the negative thoughts I have had about my body for most of my life. I wanted to do something brave and unexpected. Also, as an anniversary gift to my husband.
Were you nervous? I felt more nervous after booking my session than I did during the actual session. But Jenn has a gift with helping put people at ease and I trusted her completely.
Was the response you received on the images what you hoped for? I have only shared with a couple of close friends so far (just one photo) and they were floored! The response was better than I expected and it made me feel great in more ways than one. I am dying to show them to my hubby but making myself wait until our anniversary.
What was your favorite part of the experience? Realizing during the session that I felt completely confident.
Do you still feel like your self-esteem is boosted from the session? I do! I keep looking at my photos and I just feel more powerful somehow.
What would you say to women who are thinking about a session but haven’t pulled the trigger yet? That the makeup and photo goddesses are on your side and want you to look great. Trust that. In the end it is you who gets to choose the final product so if any of the photos don’t agree with you, toss them out. It will make you feel strong and sexy! I feel like it changed me. I just feel more confident now.
Final thoughts? My husband has loved me and my body through a lot. My body had been abused as a girl and I have felt uncomfortable in it for a very long time. He thought I was beautiful when I was young and physically strong, when I was depressed and overweight, and now when I am older and all of the things are rearranging. He will be blown away by these photos. But I will love them most because they are proof I have overcome.
