Maggies transformation with The Intimate Story | Featured Client Friday

Maggie walked into the studio like so many women do—nervous, excited, and carrying a mental checklist of everything she thought was wrong with her body. The things she covered up. The things she wished were different. The things she assumed would stand out in the photos in a way she didn’t want.

But here’s the thing about boudoir—it doesn’t highlight your flaws. It shows you what’s been beautiful about you this whole damn time.

By the end of her session, Maggie wasn’t obsessing over the things she once saw as imperfections. She wasn’t fixating on stretch marks, scars, or curves in places she used to criticize. She was seeing herself—really seeing herself—for the first time in a long f*cking time.

Keep reading to hear about Maggie’s journey, how she let go of the idea that she needed to be “flawless” to be worthy, and how boudoir helped her realize that every inch of her was already stunning.

How old are you and what do you do for a living?

• What made you decide to do a boudoir session?
  It was time to go for it. I needed a push and I got it. As a mom of 3 littles, finding time for myself never happens but I needed a confidence boost and an identity outside of motherhood. I needed to do something to remind me I am still a confident, sexy woman.

• Did you have any fears or obstacles about doing a boudoir session?
  Yes!! Fears of being half naked in front of a stranger taking pictures of me! And wondering what I look like doing this! But Brie was so comfortable to be around and her gentle, yet direct way of communicating made posing easy.

• Was your session what you expected it to be? How so?
  Yes and more. I was hoping to have a positive day and feel pretty. I ended up feeling equal parts sexy and beautiful… I felt more empowered and confident afterwards. The hair, make up, and wardrobe felt genuine to my personality but brought out the best in me.

• what was your favorite part of the experience?
  I think my favorite part of the entire thing was how I was treated. I felt important and pampered , by complete strangers. It was a big boost to my self esteem!

• How did you feel when you saw your photographs
  I was shocked!!! I thought I might be a little embarrassed about them but I instantly loved the pictures. I was amazed at how Brie captured such beauty and sexiness while keeping it classy! I am so proud of my pictures.

• Did your session change your confidence level?? How so?
  Confidence boost for sure! How could you not feel like a complete goddess after that?! I felt like a beautiful, worthy woman afterwards.

• What advice can you give other women who are looking to do their own boudoir experience?
  Go for it! It is something you will thank yourself for! I think, as women, we put ourselves last and forget to do things for ourselves. Every woman deserves to feel empowered and love the body they were given.

• Did anything change about the way you see your own body as a result of the experience??
  I was reminded of my beauty. For years I have valued my body on what it can do for me… and while that is still true, I now see so much more with it. My imperfections are gorgeous. Extra curves make me more sexy. I feel like I can genuinely be a good role model for body positivity for my children.

• How did you like working with The Intimate Story? Is there anything we could do better?
  I really loved working with yall! It was a wonderful experience all the way around. I just wish my budget was bigger so I could do it again!

We would love of you to come back Maggie!! Thank you for all your sweet words

xoxo
