Boudoir was not something I was confident that I could do.

My first boudoir experience with Ginger was amazing! I am very shy and conservative at times. So doing a boudoir was not something I was confident that I could do. I’d always dreamed about it and swooned over the various boudoir photos out there, but I didn’t think I was gutsy enough to do it. I found Ginger through a recommendation from my old school art teacher and after following her on Facebook and Instagram I could see why she was highly recommended.

I was self-conscious about my weight, love handles, stretch marks,

I was self-conscious about my weight, love handles, stretch marks, you name it but the more I saw Gingers work and the different subjects in which she photographed I became more and more comfortable. I had recently gone through a divorce as well and was feeling a little down in general, so I was looking for a pick me up of sorts. So, I said to hell with it and set up my initial consultation phone appointment and I never looked back! Ginger made me feel so comfortable just from one phone conversation, it was like talking to someone I’d known for years. So, I knew I was in good hands.

I picked my outfits, got over my fears and set out to meet Ginger on Sept 1, 2022. I will always remember that day because it was the best day ever and I mean it I was on such a high that day. My makeup was outstanding. The girl who beat my face just kept complimenting me on my freckles and how she really liked different things about my face that stood out. After she finished, I was like oh my, I don’t even recognize myself; the makeup was gorgeous and simple for me. I put my outfit on and it was time to begin.

Wearing nothing but my insecurities on my sleeve,

I was nervous at first once Ginger had me out in my first outfit literally wearing nothing but my insecurities on my sleeve, but I knew I had to relax. Didn’t want my photos to look like crap lol. After the first few pics I began to ease up and chill out. It was not all that bad. I do not know what I was worried about.

My favorite outfit was a halter black lace 2-piece bra and panty with a see thru rhinestone top. I feel like the poses I did in this outfit were the most awkward. I had to poke my booty up high, kneel on the floor in 6inch stiletto shoes and get back up. Move from the couch to the floor from the floor to the couch.

In the end, my favorite photos came from those shots.

I never thought I had pretty eyes until now

Beauty is pain, right?!? Well, she got the shots of me through all my awkwardness and painful moves they came out nice. I love them so much. You can look into my eyes in different photos and see not only the color of my eyes (which I never thought I had pretty eyes until now) but the sultry vibes I was trying to portray. Love it!!! Love it!!! 

When we broke for lunch, I was still on a high I could have stayed in the studio doing outfit change after outfit change and took more pictures all day. It was just that much fun. I was hungry but could barely eat I could not wait to see my photos. I stuffed my face and rushed back to Ginger’s studio. When it was time for me photo reveal I was so scared that I looked weird and made strange faces and they weren’t soft enough or that I looked constipated or something.

When I sat down to do the review with Ginger I was totally blown away! I wanted to scream out loud and shout how they were so fucking hot! I could not believe that was me in those photos. I did it I really did my 1st boudoir and it felt amazing.

I was so confident, and I was so in LOVE with myself.

When I left the studio, I was feeling myself bad. LOL. Most importantly I left Gingers studio feeling like a badass bitch! I was so confident, and I was so in LOVE with myself. The photoshoot was so empowering and uplifting. If I could do it once I could certainly, do it again. I am planning my future sessions and looking for outfits already as I type this review.

If anyone I know it thinking of doing a boudoir photoshoot, I would highly recommend that you try it at least just once. I promise you that you will not be sorry that you did it. You will feel so sexy, so strong, and so fucking beautiful! Ginger made the entire experience so warm and inviting and overall, she made me feel so comfortable. She is great at what she does.

It’s been over six months and when I look at those photos, I still cannot believe that is me.

When I received my album in the mail, I could not wait to rip that package open. When I opened that gorgeous velvet book and I saw myself on the pages and it was like I got instantly transported right back to that day. It’s been over six months and when I look at those photos, I still cannot believe that is me. It was better than I had ever hoped it could be and Ginger really slayed in making me feel like I’m finer than any Kardashian ever manufactured. I showed some of the photos off and was told I was giving off Beyonce’ vibes. So, I guess you could say I killed it! 😊
