Boudoir x2: Melissa
When Melissa booked her first shoot, she told herself it would be something fun for her boyfriend. But as the day unfolded, she realized how much she needed it too. This experience became less about the photos he’d get to enjoy, and more about the way she saw herself afterward. She drove 3.5 hours to be here, trusted us again for round two, and even added the wet set, upgraded her album, and added wall art - because some reminders are worth seeing every single day. But don’t just take it from me -here’s what Melissa shared:
Her why:
“I think I originally did it for me. Maybe I used the excuse it would be something fun or different for my boyfriend. Either way, it ends up being mainly for me and he likes to look at the pictures!

Her biggest concerns:
The first time, my biggest concern was having the first outfits. The second time, my biggest concern was if I should drive up today or the night before! :)
Her experience:
You made me feel comfortable from the moment I came in the door. It was so much fun.

To anyone reading:
It is never going to be the “right time.” You have to make time for you. If that means a girls weekend or booking a photoshoot. You just gotta do it… Do it for you.”

To feeling like “you” again🥂
Melissa didn’t wait until she felt 100% confident. She didn’t have all the answers. She just knew she wanted a moment to reconnect with herself - and that was enough. Sometimes the shoot is the start of feeling like “you” again. Sometimes it’s the spark you didn’t know you needed. And sometimes… it’s just a damn good day that reminds you you’re still here, still growing, still beautiful. Wherever you’re at, that’s enough. And you’re always welcome here. Start now. ↓↓↓
