'Cause My Heart Belongs to You, I'll Risk It All For You- Self Love Boudoir- In Studio Nine19 Photography Raleigh NC
I love when a client does a session to celebrate herself and the woman she is becoming! Growth is so important, we change regardless of how much we want to, so it’s best to embrace it. Thats what this amazing woman is doing, embracing life to it’s fullest! It was a pleasure having her in my studio and personal space. She is so kind hearted and so sweet, so it was fun watching her come out of her shell and show off that sensual goddess she had hiding in her too!
I Won't Never Sell My Soul, and I Can Back That and I Really Wanna Know, Where You At?- Self Love Boudoir- In Studio Nine19 Photography- Raleigh NC
This client is by far one of the most hard working and brilliant women I have ever gotten to work with. She is in the middle of a season of self discovery and self love, so to have her reach out to me to be apart of this moment with her, I jumped at the opportunity! Women, especially Women of Color battle with ideas of being “worthy” of love by fighting their natural sexual urges thanks to outside influences and societal norms. We have to be worth marrying or loving, by saying we are “pure” without needing to expect the same of our partners and counterparts. With society’s idea changing on how women’s sexual desires are accepted we get the opportunity to grow OPENLY (because we were doing this with or without acceptance) into complete human beings.

That Natural Beauty, If You Could See It From the Front, Wait 'Til You See It From the Back- Birthday Boudoir- Nine19 Photography- Raleigh NC
So, about a week ago I did a boudoir shoot. I was so nervous that I was trying to think of every excuse in the book of not to go to this session. A few days before, I was bitten by a swarm of red ants all over my feet, so I was like “Bitch! This is your opportunity to get out of this session!” I was also trying my hardest to lose 10 to 15 pounds in a matter of two weeks and I was driving myself crazy in the head thinking about how am I going to look once these pictures came out? What is my husband going to think when he sees these photos? Is he just going to see someone out of shape that he doesn’t feel attracted to because I’m not the same person that I was physically when I first met him. Every negative thought that you could possibly think of went through my brain. But something just came over me and said “Bitch. Get your shit together...Do the shoot, whether you like it or not. You are going to love the results.”
