Steph's Sportswear Boudie Call - Mildura Portrait PhotographerSteph is an incredibly hard working and motivated 23 year old who applied to be one of my sportswear boudie calls.

Did you love your hair & makeup? I loved it! The girls were beautiful and got me hyped for my shoot! How would you describe the session? (poses, direction, comfort level, thoughts, FEELINGS) AMAZING! It made everything so easy for me when getting told to go in certain positions and poses. The energy in the room really had me motivated! Was the session different than you expected? If so, how? Not really because I didn't really know what to expect so I already came into it not really knowing how it was going to be but as mentioned early I love a challenge and I think that's what made it more exciting. How did you feel AFTER your session? AMAZING! I felt so happy and left in confidence. What was your favorite part? The whole thing really but seeing the end result and not expecting to be as happy with my photos with my insecurities and seeing how much I loved them was an awesome feeling! What was your least favorite part? When it finished! Time went quick because we had so much fun! Would you ever do another session? Yes! How did you feel when you saw your images?

It encouraged me to love my body and be confident and own it. We must love ourselves in order to be happy in life. Do you have any advice for women considering doing a boudoir session?
As scary as it seems don't let fear stop you. The feeling you get is so amazing and feeling proud for something you have achieved for YOURSELF is unreal. Especially those lack self love really need to do something like this to remind yourself how beautiful you are and to let everything go and do this not for anyone else but yourself because you ARE beautiful and deserve it! Any final thoughts on your session, or anything you'd like other woman to know? I think I have cleared everything up. These images are something I will have forever and to look back on one day to either make my children proud or embarrass them :) however I did this for me and I will never forget it! Do you give me permission to use this information on my website & on social media? Yes Gorgia's Boudoir Experience - Mildura Boudoir PhotographerGorgia, 24, came into the studio as a group session with her sisters. She absolutely rocked the sporty look. The entire day was just amazing from start to finish & the girls got some special bonding time. Gorgia shared some thoughts on her experience below: Did you have any obstacles or fears about doing this session? Body image; I managed to put on about 9-10 kilos before the shoot since booking.. What made you take the leap of faith to do a boudoir session? My sisters! Did I provide enough pre-session info? Yes How did you feel BEFORE your session? Week before, broke down in tears. Hour before, extremely calm/zen How did you like working with my team? Did you love your hair & makeup? Yes did an amazing job How would you describe the session? Ended up feeling really comfortable, I knew I would from previous feedback but could not stop laughing too!! Was the session different than you expected? If so, how? Didn’t have certain expectations, came in with an open mind - turned out great!! How did you feel AFTER your session? Empowered!! What was your favorite part? The whole thing What was your least favorite part? Wished it went for looooonger because I had so much fun, I need to do my own!! How did you feel when you saw your images?
Sneak peak was great, excited to see more!! Did anything change about the way you see yourself after the session? I haven’t bought lingerie for myself for about 8 years so was great to feel sexy again!! (Note to self: keep buying lingerie!!) Do you have any advice for women considering doing a boudoir session? Have faith, you are beautiful in your own way and Lauren will help capture your beauty in a way that you may have never seen before <3 Any final thoughts on your session, or anything you'd like other woman to know? JUST DO IT! Future you will thank you for it!! Sometimes we have ladies come into the studio that, for one reason or another, don't want to share many (or any) images. Your privacy is so important to me so after your reveal, we sit down and go through all the final images for you to choose (guilt free) which, if any, I can share and where!
I love feedback and know just how important it is for all businesses so I ask my Beauties to complete an online questionnaire about their experience with Pure Beauty Photography. This questionnaire is by one of the amazing ladies I have shot who, although would love to share them, has decided not to, so we will call her "Miss Anonymous" Did you have any obstacles or fears about doing this session? I was worried about posing. And I was also worried that it would fall at the wrong time of the month and I would feel Yuck! What made you take the leap of faith to do a boudoir session? As a wedding gift for my fiance. I doubt I would have got the courage to do it without this reason! Did I provide enough pre-session info? Yes heaps thanks! How did you feel BEFORE your session? Really nervous. Shaking. How did you like working with my team? Did you love your hair & makeup? Loved the hair and makeup (Vee and Mairee)! And loved that there was a makeup artist to change my lip colour! How would you describe the session? (poses, direction, comfort level, thoughts, FEELINGS) 10/10. I was made to feel comfortable from the first pose. I forgot that I was in lingerie and was so comfortable! Was the session different than you expected? If so, how? Very different. I thought I'd be uncomfortable for most of it but was suprised at how quickly that feeling went. Lauren showing me some of the photos on the camera was confirmation that I was doing ok! How did you feel AFTER your session? So incredible! What was your favorite part? The bold lipstick and picking an outfit from Lauren's collection. It was me but a more confident me. I would never have picked that outfit or lipstick! What was your least favorite part? None! Would you ever do another session? Yes! How did you feel when you saw your images? I can't wait to see them! Did anything change about the way you see yourself after the session? I felt strangely confident! I'm a really good way! But now I'm busting to talk about it but can't because it's a suprise!! Do you have any advice for women considering doing a boudoir session? To do it without over thinking it! Any final thoughts on your session, or anything you'd like other woman to know? It's worth the investment even without a "reason" to do it! Emily is 33 years old as is an occupational therapist & describes herself as shy and reserved. This Boudoir shoot was very much out of her comfort zone but you can't tell one single bit from these images. She absolutely nailed the poses and more importantly, the facials, which can be the hardest to master (you really need to get out of your head during these sessions). I am so proud of you Emily! You are an absolute goddess! Makeup & assistant: Brodee Kernaghan Hair Stylist: Willow Hair Did you have any obstacles or fears about doing this session? Yes! I have always been a self conscious person. I have always worried far too much about what other people think or how people see me. I have always been shy and reserved so the idea of getting in front of a camera wearing next to nothing was terrifying! What made you take the leap of faith to do a boudoir session? I loved reading how passionate Lauren was about promoting self confidence and empowerment. I followed Laurens page for a short time before I found myself seriously considering it. This would be something completely out of my comfort zone and something completely random for me. I spoke to my husband at great length about it and he was incredibly supportive. His words were "go for it, I just want you to have fun and be able to see yourself through my eyes!". Did I provide enough pre-session info? Yes! Lauren was incredible with the amount of information she provided. How did you feel BEFORE your session? Nervous and excited all in one! I couldn't believe that I was actually going ahead with it! How did you like working with my team? Did you love your hair & makeup? I was incredibly happy with my hair and make up! Brodee in particular was incredibly thoughtful and supportive. I felt so comfortable! ow would you describe the session? I absolutely loved my session! Lauren made me feel so incredibly comfortable! To the point where I actually 'forgot' that I was walking around in next to nothing. I wasn't even thinking about that part! Lauren was amazing. She stepped me through everything. She provided good clear instructions and encouragement throughout the whole session. Lauren demonstrated the poses and then continued to prompt me as required in such a gentle manner. I couldn't fault her. Lauren has definitely got a gift. Her passion, enthusiasm and encouragement is so inspiring and uplifting! Was the session different than you expected? If so, how? Yes! I was 100% expecting to feel ridiculously awkward and uncomfortable. I was worried that I wouldn't have a clue what I was doing and that it would reflect in the photos. But I couldn't have been more wrong. For someone that has always 'worried too much', I felt so comfortable and supported by Lauren. And the biggest thing that surprised me... I had the most FUN that I have had in ages! I felt so confident and empowered when I walked out of the studio which was the best part! How did you feel AFTER your session? Sometimes I still can't believe that I actually went ahead with the shoot. I am so proud of myself! I saw myself from a different perspective and I loved it! What was your favorite part? I loved the 'me time'! It was all about ME for a change. I am sure that other Mothers out there can also relate but throughout our busy life of raising our young children, there is not a lot of time left to just focus on 'me'. So I loved the entire process. From lingerie shopping to being pampered by hair/make up artists to having my shoot to being spoilt with a massage. It was all so brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone. Incredibly soul soothing and empowering! What was your least favorite part? Hmm- probably having to wait the two weeks until reveal! I was itching to see the photos! I was literally counting down the days! Would you ever do another session? Yes! How did you feel when you saw your images? Gob smacked! I was honestly blown away! I just kept thinking and saying 'oh my god!' I felt SO proud and relieved that I decided to go ahead with the shoot. I felt amazing! Did anything change about the way you see yourself after the session? Most definitely! I realised that there is more to it than just the couple of things that I am so self conscious about. Turns out there are parts of my body that I bloody love and I finally got to appreciate this from my husbands perspective! Do you have any advice for women considering doing a boudoir session?
Do it! Start saving your dollars and totally do it! I was well out of my comfort zone and had never considered anything like this but I am so relieved that I was added to Laurens VIP group! It was one of the most empowering, uplifting, motivating, classy, positive and FUN things that I have ever done. Any final thoughts on your session, or anything you'd like other woman to know? You won't regret it! Not one single bit! Your body will however be very sore for the days afterwards but oh my god, it is well worth it! |
