Have you ever wondered if you “still got it”?

As women age, we sometimes feel invisible. So many of us are juggling motherhood, careers, and big life milestones and it’s natural to pause and reflect on our journey. My client, Ms. T, a super active mom of three and small business owner, recently faced a monumental year – celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary, turning 50, and seeing her youngest graduate. She wanted to give her husband a unique gift, a powerful message that she still had that undeniable spark.

But what started as a gift for him quickly became a profound gift for herself. Despite her long-standing belief that she “didn’t take good pictures,” Ms. T decided to let go of her inhibitions. Her experience, filled with patience and expert guidance, transformed her self-perception and left her feeling like a true supermodel.

Tell us your story, a little bit about you and why you decided to do a boudoir session?

I am a mother of 3 and small business owner. I am very active and workout 5-6 days a week. This year is a big year for us. My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, we both turn 50 this summer and our youngest son graduates. I wanted to give something to my husband just letting him know “I still got it” (hopefully). Ultimately the gift was for him but it was for me, too, and I am so glad I did it. He absolutely LOVED them! I have never felt that I take “good pictures”, my smile always seems off and there is always something not right (in my head/opinion of course). Cassy was so patient with me and used wonderful techniques to help get the perfect images and some of the best smiles I have seen on myself in a picture. She made me feel like a supermodel and I am so grateful for the experience. 

What was your biggest concern prior to booking your Boudoir Session? How do you feel now?

Just nervous but Cassy made me feel so comfortable.

Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Cassy compare to your prior experience?

Yes, about 10-12 years ago. I was even more nervous then and did a very “mild” session, this time I let everything go (I think?)

What, specifically, did you enjoy most about your portrait session and why?

The way Cassy made me feel and how she talked me through everything. I did way more than I expected myself to because of her.

What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell me your story.

It helped tremendously, like I said before Cassy made me feel like a supermodel, it was awesome.

Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different?

It was more than I expected and I am so grateful.

“It was more than I expected and I am so grateful.”

Ms. T’s words perfectly capture the essence of what I strive to create for every woman who steps into my Jesup, Iowa studio. It’s not just about taking pictures; it’s about curating a luxurious, empowering experience where you feel completely at ease, allowing your true confidence to shine through. From detailed posing to being your biggest cheerleader, my goal is to help you see the incredible beauty you’ve always possessed.

If you’re a mother, a business owner, approaching 50, or simply seeking a phenomenal confidence boost, consider a boudoir session. Like Ms. T, you might discover it’s the most awesome gift you can give yourself, with results your husband will absolutely love.
