Steff gave us one of the best memories we will ever share together. I never had another woman in bed with my husband and I before but If I had to ever pick one, it would be Steff. She made us laugh. Omg did we laugh. Brian’s shirt, whispering and ruining moments, Brian saying something uncomfortably awkward. She made us feel comfortable that I actually was happy to have her in “our bed.” Dessa made me look like a god damn goddess that even I wanted to worship at my reveal. Jess was so sweet and seemed to like all of our photos as much as we did.
Some of us “girl” pretty damn hard on a day to day basis. Others, not so much. If even the idea of what you need to do to prepare for you boudoir shoot with The GFE Boudoir is a little overwhelming, let me help! That is what I am here for. Keep reading for some tips to help make you feel confident and prepared before you walk into the studio for your boudoir shoot.
I get asked where to shop all the time, inquiring clients get a lingerie and shopping guide in their prep materials. Noticeably absent from the list is VS. I have my favorite places from bargains to investments, I try to be able to steer you toward something you won’t regret. The hitch is they are all online. Which means shipping. Which means shit happens.
Steer clear of clichés. Pass on the white corset. Fuck the pearls. White stockings? It’s not 1987. I have a different spin on bridal boudoir. I take more of a portrait approach to ensure there is a clear line between for the wedding day and the rest of forever images will be showcased in your boudoir album.
Was my body where I wanted it to be? Not even close. But it’s done some incredible things and it should be celebrated. If I’m totally honest, I booked my shoot fully anticipating that I would not like many of my pictures, which had absolutely nothing to do with Steffs work. After booking my shoot, I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the perfect outfit. The one that hid this, tucked that, covered there. I felt defeated and I most certainly did not feel sexy. I also felt like I had lost who I was.
