What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir photoshoot?

My first thought was for my husband's 50th birthday. I wanted to give him something he would never forget and something completely out of the usual. After booking and in anticipation of the shoot, I realized I was doing this for me. I have had self-image issues as many of us do, and I wanted to show myself my body is my own and damn sexy. I also wanted to prove to myself I could do something like this. I am so glad I made the move to do this.

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?

Honestly, the ad continued to pop up on my social media pages and each time I looked into it. Then, there was a massive discount and I figured, hey, why not?

Now was my time and this was the place for me.

I loved how welcoming and open the website and boudoir guide are. I really felt like I could be comfortable which is what you want when doing something out of your comfort zone.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

My answer really depends on what I am doing and who I am with. I am shy when meeting new people, but open up quickly. This experience has helped me be more confident in my own skin and shown me that despite the "flaws" I look great.

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

I was definitely nervous going into this and especially the day of.

I had strained my neck a couple of days prior to my shoot and was scared of how that might affect the end result because of the difficulty I had with some of the poses. I really wanted to make this amazing, so I pushed through with the help of Christina and some champagne :) The only thing I would change is the neck strain, otherwise, the rest of the experience was amazing.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

My favorite part of the experience probably has to be the reveal. Christina does such an amazing job and really makes this a special moment.

I also loved how the shoot itself flowed, it went from one thing to the next and truly felt like a whirlwind from beginning to end.

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?

Know your why.

Yes, many of us do this for our significant other, but have a reason to do this for you too. Many of us struggle with self-image, unfortunately, but this is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and prove to yourself you have a smoking hot body and improve the way you see yourself.
