If You Don't Jump to Put Jeans on Baby, You Don't Feel My Pain- Self Confidence Boudoir- Nine19 Photography Raleigh NC
NEW ENERGY, WHO DIS?! Yo girl is truly happy and living her best damn life! I truly strive to make sure my clients feel this happy during their boudoir session with me! I always joke that out of all the boudoir sessions that I have done, I can count on one hand and a finger how many of my clients walked in vixens, the rest of us are awkward, nervous, and goofy. It’s just true and there is nothing wrong with that, because a smile is just as sexy as a smize! As cousin Jhene says, Happiness over everything, it’s the phrase that I am living by these days. If it doesn’t suit my life and bring me happiness, then it’s not worth keeping around. Life is too short to not be happy!

Women of Color and Boudoir: Why We are Worth It- Self Empowerment Boudoir- Nine19 Photography Raleigh NC
Boudoir... I found myself repeating the word over and over again as if the definition in Websters Dictionary was going to change. I couldn't believe that I was about to do a BOUDOIR photoshoot. I felt a wave of emotions! I immediately thought to myself, "what would people say? Maybe I should hit the gym a few extra times this week... What would my mother say?!" I was nervous and excited but boudoir just felt like a "dirty" word. I researched the definition, "a French word meaning a lady's private dressing room or bedroom." Is that why it felt so dirty? Was it the word 'private' dressing room or bedroom that made it feel so risqué? Yet, when I am alone in my bedroom playing dress up in the mirror wearing my favorite lingerie or hoodie is when I feel the best, it's when I feel the sexiest, the prettiest... the most comfortable. Then it clicked! Boudoir wasn't about dressing up in sexy lingerie... It was more about feeling empowered, loving the skin that you're in, and body positivity.
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.
