Boudoir Q+A with Taiylor!

Working with Taiylor was a unique and challenging experience, and it ended up being the most rewarding boudoir session I’ve ever done.

Taiylor is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in person. Her facial bone structure and figure make her an absolute knock-out. However, she didn’t see it. She was very hard on herself and thought she was ugly, greasy, and fat. She never would’ve done a boudoir session if I hadn’t given her one as a gift. I’m so glad I did. Here is a heartwarming Q&A with Taiylor about her boudoir experience.

1. What were your biggest fears about doing a boudoir session?

   I am so insecure and shy about my body so I was super nervous I wouldn’t look or feel sexy.  When you think of a boudoir shoot, it sounds like it’d be a little uncomfortable. But Dawn was amazing. She made me feel so beautiful and comfortable.

2. What was your experience like while shopping for a boudoir photographer?

   I wanted to make sure that I would be able to do this with someone I trusted and felt comfortable with. I was referred to Dawn by one of my friends who has done many shoots with her. I met Dawn and followed my gut from there. Like I said, picking a photographer to shoot pictures of my body that I’m totally insecure about was so nerve wracking. But Dawn was by far the best choice and I’m forever grateful I went with her.

3. What was your experience like while planning your session with me?

   It was the best! Dawn is so uplifting and empowering. She’s also very professional and made the entire process so easy.

4. How did you feel during your session?

   I felt like one sexy woman! Haha, in all seriousness… Dawn was constantly uplifting me and giving me compliments. She worked with my assets and helped me get the best angles and gave me advice on the outfits that went best. I felt actually sexy for the first time, maybe ever!

5. How did your boudoir session change your view of yourself?

   The shoot made me feel powerful. At first I was sad, it made me realize how negatively I viewed myself before this shoot. I would pick myself apart and criticize every single part of my body. This shoot made me embrace my body and fall in love with it. I cried when I got some of the pictures back, because I didn’t think I was capable of actually seeing beauty in myself.

6. Now that you have your photos, how do you feel about yourself as a woman?

   I feel strong. I feel like I’ve learned to love myself more and more each day. It made me appreciate my body and view myself in positive ways.

7. What is your advice to other women regarding boudoir photography?

   go for it girl! It was 1000% worth it. If you’re anything like me : insecure, shy, nervous… I promise this is something so liberating to do. Dawn is amazing.  She is perfect for this type of shoot and you will not regret it.
