I wanted to formally introduce my brand Ambassadors- what's the best way to do that? With images of course. I have added my favourite parts from their individual applications too. Kim "You are AMAZING! Even if I don't get selected, I will still be your "moose" ;) & prance around in my full glorious nakedness in your Studio or outside or on the roof or wherever you want me to!!!! You won't be able to get rid of me that easy - I promise! I think even a restraining order probably wouldn't work!!!" Jess "I hope I can stand beside you and other Woman to make a difference and Spread The Word that WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT!!" Bella "I want to be a realistic role model in showing that yes we all have our days where we don't always see the great things in ourselves and want to change how we look, but with the support of fellow amazing and kind women that pure beauty can emerge and we can really start to believe it for ourselves". Kayla "I laugh too loud, probably cause I think I’m funny. Sometimes I don’t iron my clothes, sometimes I even wear dirty clothes 🤭 I got jiggles and wobbles, cellulite and stretch marks, there’s even scars there too. My bottom teeth aren’t straight though my top ones are and geez I got a wicked smile but my eyebrows definitely have different fathers. I trip over walking on flat surfaces, probably don’t shave my legs enough or my underarms and I smudge my eyeliner nearly every day with out fail but I still wear it with pride! And don’t get confused - NOT ONE of these is a flaw! They’re my trademarks and some days I love them a little less than others (don’t we all) but it just wouldn’t be me with out them" Vee "I love making other people feel good and if I can be part of something like this, I can encourage woman to see the beauty within them, and show them that I learnt to love myself and even some of my "flaws". I have come a long way and still have a long way to go."

That I am incredibly grateful for Lauren and am thankful I took the leap. And always remember; Empower each other, give compliments to each other, choose to be kind and celebrate each other. We are pure beauty!! Client Feature - Kim You might know 45 year old Kim from her Kangatraining days where she would help new mums gain the confidence and strength to get back into exercise post baby. Kim completed the post session questionnaire well before her reveal, since then she has had an impromptu mini shoot & is now my Elite Brand Ambassador! I thought I would get this blog thing happening before it's too late :) Did you have any obstacles or fears about doing this session? No. I’ve learnt to embrace my body the way it is & I want to celebrate me & how proud I am of my body & what it’s achieved! What made you take the leap of faith to do a boudoir session? I couldn’t wait when Lauren told me about it & I wanted in! Did I provide enough pre-session info? Yes. All the information & communication was brilliant! I knew exactly what to bring & what I needed to do to prepare for my session. How did you feel BEFORE your session? So very excited! A tiny bit nervous initially, but that was very quick to pass How did you like working with my team? Did you love your hair & makeup? Hair & Makeup were incredible & so perfectly suited to me, my outfits & my mood board. Lisa & Mairee were wonderful, friendly & super professional. They made me feel so welcome & helped build up the excitement for my shoot
How would you describe the session? The session felt like posing & having fun with my girlfriend (which really it was!) Lauren was excellent in demonstrating & describing poses, facial expressions & hand placement, so I felt amazingly confident in everything I was doing & I love how genuinely excited she’d get whenever I nailed a pose or expression or just did what she wanted without prompting. I was comfortable the whole time & Lauren always asked if I was happy doing a pose, whether I was confident getting into position or could hold it. I am exhausted now - the session is a complete body workout! Did anything change about the way you see yourself after the session? I was quite confident going in, but by the end, I wasn’t remotely worried about any of my own perceived flaws. I’m really embracing every part of my body - the scarred, the wobbly, the overhang. I am truly beautiful & a goddess & I’m going to walk with confidence in myself just that little bit more Do you have any advice for women considering doing a boudoir session? Practice! Practice poses, Practice facial expressions, Practice feeling your skin, hair, outfit. Take selfies, use the timer on your phone - you’ll get an idea of what works & what doesn’t. You may feel a little silly doing it at first but when you’re in your session & you just nail it, you will be so happy you did! Any final thoughts on your session, or anything you'd like other woman to know?
Give yourself permission to love yourself & appreciate your body in its entire beauty! Do it for you - not anyone else! You will be so happy you did & you’ll have a new-found confidence & vitality & respect for yourself! |
