when I asked jessica to write about her boudoir experience with me, she quickly responded with a “yes!” when i first read this, it filled my little heart with warmth and gave me all the feels! jessica’s transformation was easily one of the most memorable that has happened in my studio thus far. here’s her story, written by jessica herself.

KRISTEN IS AN EXTREMELY TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHER. SHE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL IN WHAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED A DELICATE SITUATION (I DON’T USUALLY WEAR SO LITTLE CLOTHING IN FRONT OF STRANGERS!) AND ALSO MADE THE EXPERIENCE FUN. NOT ONLY THAT, I WAS SO HAPPY WITH ALL OF MY PHOTOS THAT I BOUGHT ALL OF THEM! I’VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO LIKE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED OR THE RESULTS OF MY BEING PHOTOGRAPHED, BUT KRISTEN REALLY HAS AN EYE AND VISION OF WHAT MAKES HER SUBJECTS LOOK BEAUTIFUL WHILE ALSO LOOKING LIKE THEMSELVES.

I FOUND kristen THROUGH A WEB SEARCH. A FRIEND OF MINE RECOMMENDED COLUMBUS BOUDOIR, BUT WHEN I REALIZED HOW EXPENSIVE THE SERVICE WAS, I DECIDED TO LOOK AROUND. kristen HAD GOOD REVIEWS, AND I LIKED YOUR STYLE BEST. PLUS, I HAVE A COUSIN IN CALI WHO IS A PHOTOGRAPHER, AND SHE ALSO SUGGESTED kristen BASED ON WHAT SHE FOUND IN A WEB SEARCH.

I HAD PLANNED TO DO IT AS A WEDDING GIFT FOR MY FIANCÉ, BUT I ULTIMATELY DID IT NOT ONLY FOR THAT REASON BUT ALSO BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD GIVE ME A CONFIDENCE BOOST. I’VE ALWAYS HAD REALLY POOR BODY IMAGE.

I REALLY LIKED THE VARIETY OF SETTINGS AND POSES kristen SHARED ON her WEBSITE IN COMPARISON TO SOME OF THE OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS’. ALSO, her SUBJECTS ALL LOOKED VERY ORGANIC, AND her PHOTO QUALITY IS SUPERIOR.

I WAS EXCITED! I TOLD THE FEW LADY FRIEND/ACQUAINTANCES I HAVE ABOUT IT, AND THEY ALL THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE A FUN TIME. IT WAS ALSO FUN TO SHOP FOR OUTFITS!

WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED, IT SEEMED VERY PROFESSIONAL, WHICH KIND OF HELPED ME FEEL LESS NERVOUS (KIND OF LIKE GOING TO THE DOCTOR, HAHA). she is A PROFESSIONAL AND she DOes THIS FOR A LIVING, SO I FELT LIKE I WAS IN GOOD HANDS.

I DID END UP TELLING my fiancé ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WAS IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD AFTER. HE WAS SHOCKED THAT I’D EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS! HE LOVED ALL OF THE PHOTOS THOUGH AND couldn’t PICK A FAVORITE.

I’VE BEEN WONDERING IF WE HAD MORE TIME IF I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO DO ANY NUDE OR IMPLIED NUDE PHOTOS. EVEN THOUGH I DIDN’T FEEL NERVOUS, I CAN COMPARTMENTALIZE, SO I’M SURE I WAS, UNDERNEATH BECAUSE I WAS EXHAUSTED AFTERWARD. IT WAS PROBABLY GOOD FOR ME TO EASE MY WAY IN. I LOVE ALL OF THE IMAGES AND HOPE I CAN HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AGAIN, SO NEXT TIME I’LL HAVE NEW AND POSSIBLY NO OUTFITs!

YOU DESERVE TO DO THIS AT LEAST ONCE. AFTER DOING IT ONCE, YOU’LL WANT TO DO IT AGAIN.

kristen, YOU ARE GREAT AT WHAT YOU DO! I AM NOT GENERALLY COMFORTABLE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED AND DON’T USUALLY LIKE PHOTOS OF MYSELF, BUT YOU CAPTURED ME IN A WAY THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF AND HOW I LOOK. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
