Confident and so sexy! Even though I arrived a little nervous my nerves were quickly calmed.

 The instant connection I felt with Michelle, she made everything fun!

I was honestly shocked! They looked so beautiful. Before the shoot I wasn’t sure I’d be able to look at the photos without picking myself apart, instead it made me feel so much more confident in myself. It was hard to only pick out the ones I did since I loved them all so much!

The Love Language of Touch for Your Boudoir Experience

Grand Rapids Michigan Boudoir Photography Studio | The Complete Boudoir Experience

Touch, taste, smell, feel. From walking into the studio, being pampered with hair and makeup, having a drink or eating chocolates, and getting into your lingerie – everything about the boudoir experience is tactile. Lingerie is made to entice: by sight, by touch, by feel. The color, the fit, the lace, the satin. Every piece of it is a sensual and tactile experience.

Throughout a boudoir photo shoot, you’re having fun, laughing and letting all of the nervousness fade away as excitement takes its place. You’re admiring, enjoying and loving on your own body. Feeling your hair and skin, playing with your lingerie or gripping fresh clean sheets and thick fur rugs. Relaxing and falling into the moment while creating beautiful photographs that you should be able to hold and touch and admire.

The end result, the remembrance of your experience needs to be as tactile as the boudoir experience itself. I offer albums with luxurious linen and acrylic and thick gorgeous pages to flip through, fun viewfinders to play with and laugh about, glossy metal wall art to hang on your walls and admire every time you walk past. The more time you spend touching something the more you fall in love with it. Don’t be afraid to fall in love with yourself and your sense of touch.

Holly – I want to own it. To embrace all of who I am as a woman.

Self Love and Empowerment in West Michigan
How did you feel before your photo shoot?
Going into the shoot I felt like a woman who has battled and overcome a lot. I felt proud of the progress I’ve made. I felt a desire to inspire other women.
And after?
After the shoot I felt empowered. My outside was reflective of the goddess I know lies within me. I am known among my friends as being confident in my voluptuous body but the shoot helped me see beauty where I previously hadn’t.

Why did you decide to do a boudoir photo shoot?
This is something I have desired to do for a while now. I was mistreated by some of the men in my life and have not always had the healthiest of coping mechanisms. My sexuality has been used to shame me. I want to own it. To embrace all of who I am as a woman. And to celebrate my freedom from being used. If a man is unworthy he will no longer have the honor of worshiping at my altar.
What is your best memory from your photo shoot day?
Laughing! So much laughing!
What was your favorite thing about your shoot?
Everything! Truly it was one of the most fun and positive experiences of my life. I got to share my story with these amazing women, who accepted me and cheered me on!
The whole team was amazing. I felt comfortable and confident throughout, like I was hanging out with my girlfriends!
How did you feel when seeing your photographs for the first time?
In love…with myself! It was really cool to see the strength and confidence I’ve been cultivating inside reflected in my physical appearance!
Our mission is to empower women through photography. What does “empowerment” mean to you?

What would you tell other women considering a boudoir photo shoot?
Definitely do it!
Seize the opportunity to see yourself in a different way, one that’s out of the ordinary and will boost your self-esteem. Don’t get hung up on your “flaws” or your size; use it as a chance to rediscover the unique beauty you possess just as you are.
Our mission is to empower women through photography. What does “empowerment” mean to you?
I think empowerment helps us discover or reminds us of positive things about ourselves, whether it’s that we’re strong, talented, beautiful, smart, sexy, etc. Empowerment lets us remind the world who it’s dealing with.
