Jennifer’s Journey

Meet Jennifer: The Woman Who Said ‘Screw It’ and Owned Her Boudoir Shoot

Alright, listen up. Today, we’re introducing Jennifer—total badass, confidence icon, and  one of our more recent clients to strip down (literally and figuratively) for a boudoir session. And spoiler alert: she crushed it.

Jennifer didn’t just waltz in for some “pretty pictures in lingerie.” Nah, she came in ready to throw down with every insecurity she’d ever had. Let’s be real, most of us have spent more time side-eyeing ourselves in the mirror than actually celebrating the fact that we’re walking works of art. But Jennifer? She decided it was time to kick self-doubt to the curb and see what this boudoir hype was all about.

Was she nervous? Hell yes. Did she nail it? You bet your ass she did.

In her own words (and trust me, they’re worth the read), she’s about to spill the tea on everything: why she did it, how she felt stepping in front of the camera, and what it’s like to walk away with a set of photos that make you feel like you could rule the world—or at least your Instagram feed.

Let me tell you, this boudoir thing? It’s not just for supermodels and people with perfect skin and zero stretch marks. Nope. It’s for anyone brave enough to say, “Screw it, I deserve to feel good in my own skin.” Jennifer did, and her experience is proof that sometimes, all you need is a little nudge (and maybe some killer lighting) to remind yourself that you’ve had it in you all along.

Stick around for Jennifer’s full story, because she’s about to show you exactly why boudoir is the ultimate power move.

• How old are you and what do you do for a living?
  I am 46 and a Certified Surgical First Assist

• What made you decide to do a boudoir session?
  I had a fellow co-worker say “Hey, you should do this. It’s a great way to boost your self-esteem. It isn’t as weird as you think it is. They make you feel comfortable.” It got me thinking that hey maybe I should do one.

• Did you have any fears or obstacles about doing a boudoir session?
  O yeah. I don’t like much of anything about my body. My inner voices were whispering you don’t have the body for such thing or noone wants to see that.

• Was your session what you expected it to be? How so?
  It was actually fun and not embarrassing at all. Amy was great at making me feel comfortable (even when the poses felt awkward-lol)

• What was your favorite part of the experience?
  It was fun to try on the different items. The sets were fun too!

• How did you feel when you saw your photographs
  I haven’t seen them yet! Kind of excited surprisingly.

• Did your session change your confidence level?? How so?
  Definitely. I NEVER thought that I could feel sexy or desirable. The experience made me feel both.

• What advice can you give other women who are looking to do their own boudoir experience?
  DO IT! DO IT FOR YOU! YOU DESERVE TO FEEL SPECIAL.

• Did anything change about the way you see your own body as a result of the experience??

            That my imperfections are what make me normal. The majority of women around the world are not picture perfect.

• How did you like working with The Intimate Story? Is there anything we could do better?

                It was a great experience. Thank you.
