“At forty-something I needed a boost in my self-esteem. I was in a rut and needed to snap out of it, but I wasn’t sure what I needed. I had done a boudoir session before, but it was nothing like what I experienced with Sugar & Spice Moments. At my previous session, the photographer wasn’t exclusively doing boudoir shoots. I saw a particular boudoir session she did on Instagram and wanted to do the same shoot. Long story short – it was fine, the pictures were fine.

“I knew I wanted to do another boudoir shoot and maybe this is what I needed to get out of my rut. This time I was going to do my homework. I looked at a lot of Instagram profiles and websites trying to find what I wanted, even though I didn’t know what I wanted. I just knew I wanted to do a boudoir shoot. I came across Sugar & Spice Moments LLC and booked my boudoir experience.

“The day of my photo shoot, I had butterflies in my tummy. I had multiple pre-shoot calls with Amanda, so I knew what to expect, but I was still nervous. I rang the doorbell and Amanda greeted me and any feeling of nervousness melted away. I had a lovely glass of champagne while sitting in the makeup chair. Hair and makeup were on point (love you Lizzy). I gave Lizzy the creative license to do whatever she thought was going to look good for me. She didn’t disappoint. She made me look gorgeous!

“My actual boudoir experience was…life changing! Before we got started, any concerns I had were addressed. Amanda posed and guided me every step of the way. She always asked if it was okay to adjust my hair and lingerie before doing so. There was a lot of laughing and joking around. There were a few sneak peeks of shots and a couple of “OMFG that shot is fire” shots.

“By the end of my experience, I was baring all and feeling freakin’ gorgeous!

“When it came time to reveal my photos, I wanted to cry. The photos were stunning! I couldn’t believe how beautiful they turned out. During my reveal, Amanda and Wilson were so kind and helpful. Their words about our day (that’s right a whole day) spent together, my photos and their little anecdotes was changing the way I felt about myself and I didn’t even know it.

“When I left their studio, I got the boost in my self-esteem that I needed, but I also had an “a-ha moment”. Driving home, I realized there’s nothing wrong with how I look. What others think of me shouldn’t matter. The only thing that matters is what I think of myself.

“My boudoir experience showed me what true self-love is. I am gorgeous. I am confident. I am sexy. Today, I still am radiating with confidence and embracing new self-love.

“Are you still on the fence about booking an experience? Do it! And be prepared to experience all the feels.”
