Miss T. Celebrates turning 50 with Her Very Own Boudoir Photo Shoot at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale Arizona | After The Session Interview

Miss T. says…

Words can not express the amazing experience I had. Turning 50 at the end of 2022 and being body shamed since I was 12 this was something I have wanted to do for years but was so afraid to. Made it a bucket list item and signed up. I did my research on other photographers but following Christina on social media I got the feeling she truly cared and understood that not all women are built the same and we have our insecurities. I was right the moment I walked in the door the day of the shoot I felt like I was hanging out with old friends just catching up and having a great time. Then when I saw the completed pics all my previous worries went away and I am completely proud of myself for doing this. If this is something you are wanting to do I highly recommend reaching out to The Bella Jade Collection.

To celebrate her 50th birthday Miss T. decided to book a boudoir session with us at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale. This was something she knew would have to be on her bucket list no matter how scary it seemed — She would later find that doing this session had in fact made a positive impact on her self esteem and gave her a huge sense of pride. Looking back at these photos is now something she finds encouraging, empowering, and uses it as a reminder for herself that we are capable of amazing things if we can set aside what we’re afraid of, believe in ourselves, and are willing to step outside of our comfort zones.

For her boudoir session Miss T. booked The Grey Room and wore a variety of outfits from sweet, subtlety seductive to something more ris·qué including topless with a white button down shirt. In her after the session interview she talks about how her most nerve wracking outfit ended up being in one of her favorite pics.

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

Completing a childhood dream and turning 50. So happy that I was able to complete this bucket list item.

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

Found The Bella Jade Collection on Facebook and Instagram and started following. I really liked the photos and the inspirational messages that were sent out. Not all women are built the same and it felt like Christina truly understood that.

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

I am a work in progress. Completing this photo shoot had me face a fear and anytime I start to forget I always look at one of my pics from the shoot and its a reminder of who I am and what I can do.

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

So many fears going into this even during the shoot there was an outfit I was terrified of the way the pics would turn out. I am so glad I continued with my outfit as one of the most terrifying outfits are one of my favorite pics. I actually don't think I would have done anything differently.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

The girls (makeup artist and Christina) making it from the beginning like we were old friends just hanging out and having a good time.

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

DO IT!! This is for YOU and no one else. Don't worry about what people will think or say about you completing this. Your dreams are yours and no one has the right to take that away from you.
