Throwback Thursday 2018- Clean, Simple, and Sexy- Bridal Boudoir Nine19 Photography In Studio- Raleigh NC
I have told the story of this brave woman to other clients as a story of encouragement. How she overcame her fear and anxiety, stepped out of her comfort zone and in front of my camera. That she was one of the most understated beauties I had ever worked with. Her glamour is effortless. Her demeanor so incredibly sweet. I am proud of all of my clients, but this one always held a special place in my heart. Her story is not mine to tell, but for her to do this session took more than most.
Back when we did this session, she didn’t want anyone to see them. She was proud but private. She never ordered an album or anything to commemorate the session, so I stored it away in hopes that I would hear from her again one day. Well that day finally came!
Throwback Thursday 2015 Jaw-Dropping Boudoir- At Home with Caroline- Nine19 Photography
If you have followed my work for any extended length of time, you have probably seen the above image a million times. This was from my second boudoir session and it was the moment that I realized that I wanted boudoir to be my passion! I realized in this image that I was capable and could help women realize their beauty by letting them see themselves the way that I saw them. I coined the phrase “see yourself through someone else’s lens” because that is truly what most of us ladies deal with, only seeing ourselves from our point of view and all of the negative thoughts that we have created come right along with that. I realized that by shooting these boudoir session, I could give other women new perspective on themselves, fight against all of the terrible things that we think about ourselves and also give women new found confidence in the sweet support and comments from those who follow my work. If it weren’t for this session, I am not sure that I would be doing boudoir photography, so thank you to Caroline for trusting me with something that would help build the way to such an amazing career (that is just getting started!)
