"Even the parts of my body I didn’t like at all, I am starting to love again..." - Jasmine's Boudoir Photoshoot Experience
We had the absolute pleasure of doing a session recently with the lovely, caring and incredibly beautiful Jasmine. She gave her session 110%, and it’s so wonderful how much her photos capture all the different sides of herself: sexy and sensual, fun and down-to-earth, and just all-round amazing :)
Boudoir truly is about embracing and celebrating the person you are right now. Have a read below of what Jasmine’s experience doing a boudoir shoot was like!
Did you have any fears/hesitations about doing a boudoir session?
I did in the beginning, until I experienced the session. At first I was nervous because I felt like I didn’t have the model characteristics… I was scared to show my body and even my face because of my low self esteem. I was really happy to do it but at the same time I was very hesitant about the way I looked.
How did you feel before your shoot?
I was both nervous and excited, I didn’t know how to feel. Talia helped me relax a lot from her kind nature.
Now that you’ve had your session, how was it and how did it make you feel?
I was very surprised with how I did, and that I wasn’t that nervous to pose in my lingerie. I was getting a lot of praise too from Jasper and Talia which helped me a lot! I loved every part of it, I didn’t want it to end. It honestly made me think of doing another one! After seeing some photos on the camera when I was in the shoot, I was so surprised and couldn’t believe it was me on that camera... it made me feel comfortable with myself more and happy with joy.
Did anything change about the way you saw your own beauty/sensuality/body confidence as a result of the session?
Yes, it’s taken me a long time to love myself again. I had my partner telling me I am beautiful but you have to feel it yourself. After seeing my photos, I just had this whole self esteem spark in me again. I haven’t felt sexy in about 4 years, and it’s just so wonderful and amazing how photos can make you feel like that, especially in the society that we live in today. I feel sexy and confident to wear different clothes now, and even the parts of my body I didn’t like at all, I am starting to love again.
What would you say to people considering doing a boudoir shoot, but say they are too shy, nervous, uncertain, etc?
I would tell them the honest truth about how I felt until I tried it. I wouldn’t push them but I would tell them that it will help you blossom so much. It’s outside of some people’s comfort zone, but sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone to feel that spark.
Is there anything we could have done to make the experience even better for you?
You two couldn’t have done a better job. Not only did you do such a fantastic job with the photo shoot, but you made me feel comfortable and praised me to realise I have beauty inside and out. And it’s so amazing how comfortable you can be with people! You two are the best at what you do. I have no words to describe how amazing you two are. Thank you so much for this experience, it’s helped me and taught me a lot .
