This required me to get up at 5:45 … in the morning. and Lacy informed me she was going to shoot my session on the screened in porch in the early morning light as the model was getting hair and makeup done. Our model was going to be at the condo at 7 a.m. Thursday morning was there before you could blink. I then started to mentally prepare for the upcoming session. I wanted people to see the beautiful person I see when I look in the mirror every day. I am so excited!” I was excited as well, I had been waiting for this moment. How can we coach a client to be sensual and trust us if we aren’t in touch with our own sensuality? So, we all proceeded to get on the floor and practice the poses and movements we would be coaching our clients through.Īll of the sudden Lacy looked at me and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh girl, get it! I have got to shoot you, I am going to photograph you on Thursday. Our goal is to be supportive and helpful to our clients, but that begins with us being supportive and helpful to each other.Īt this retreat we were told that we would all get a chance to photograph the model, the first night that we arrived in Branson those of us without any photography experience got a lesson on how to coach a client. Our busy season was coming up and this trip was our opportunity to bond, relax and get a little insight into each team member’s job and responsibility. The staff from our Norman and Tulsa studios took a retreat to Branson, Missouri. However, this didn’t stop me from being nervous about my session. I am a confident, sexy woman and I believe each and every woman is beautiful no matter what size or shape. Being a plus size woman is difficult nowadays, especially with what society considers beautiful or sexy. Lacy couldn’t have made me feel more at ease and comfortable with the entire situation. To say that I was “green” employee is an understatement. I had worked as a registered veterinary technician for over 10 years and had no experience with anything photography related. And if you have any questions, please reach out to me or book a consult at this link.I have worked for Adoralee since the beginning of May 2014, it was an eye opening experience for me. You won’t have to worry about a thing, even if you don’t have modeling experience. I know how to make women feel extremely comfortable while walking around with little(or no) clothing on. I know posing and lighting to flatter any body type. If you’ve considered a boudoir session, but have questioned whether you should due to your size or shape, just know that I photograph women of every size. So, I’m going to continue to do my part in showing women their beauty through boudoir photos. My size, no matter what the number on the scale says…doesn’t get to decide if I’m beautiful!!!Īs far as we’ve come in society, the fact that comments like “stop doing photoshoots in lingerie because they are meant for attractive women…not fat girls trying to look hot” still happen make me really sad. It took me years, I’m talking 10+ years to get to the point of loving myself at any size and stage of life! My size doesn’t decide if I’m worthy. Stores for the longest time didn’t carry anything cute in my size which made me feel like I didn’t deserve to dress cute because I wasn’t a “normal” size. My entire life I have been the big girl, the tall girl with curves even at the age of 11! Society has programmed it into our minds that plus size girls should cover up. I will always be more attractive than you because I refuse to hate someone for how they look! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well to that I say size doesn’t make someone more or less attractive. I had someone inform me that I should save my money and stop doing photoshoots in lingerie because they are meant for attractive women…not fat girls trying to look hot. In response to that, she posted the best Instagram caption, which I’m including below. She had one very mean DM a few weeks ago. She still doesn’t let that get her down and I LOVE this about her. I’m not exaggerating.But because she is curvy, she’s had some haters on Instagram. Every time she’s walked in the studio, you can feel the room just lighten up. And every single one of us, regardless of size has something we don’t like about ourselves.īut a boudoir photoshoot can give a woman confidence she wouldn’t have otherwise had. Every woman is beautiful just the way she is. I don’t believe that a boudoir session depends on size. In all honesty, I don’t even like writing it out that way: “plus size boudoir photoshoot,” but I’m going to leave it for SEO purposes. For this blog post, I want to talk about self love for my curvy women in the form of a plus size boudoir photoshoot.
