I LOVED Stephanie’s shoot. In fact, I am pretty sure her shoot was my favorite shoot of the whole year. Stephanie did a great job of relaxing and getting in to the shoot. And I like the outfits that she chose to bring. I had a hard time narrowing down photos for the blog so I hope you don’t mind a long blog with lots of great images!
Here is what Stephanie had to say about her shoot.
“I chose to do a boudoir photo shoot as a wedding present for my husband. I found the deal for Rayleigh’s photography on LivingSocial. Before I bought it, I made sure to check out her website, which was so well done and informative. I knew I would feel comfortable doing this intimate photo shoot after I read about her, and saw some of her work. I loved the coziness of being in her home, it really was a much more natural experience. She made me feel at ease, and so confident as she was taking the pictures. The hair and makeup artist was a total added bonus to feeling sexy and pampered! Rayleigh is a wonderful photographer, and I would recommend her for boudoir photography to anyone!!”

Have you ever stopped to think about how you and your husband might not have met? Or that you might not have ended up together? Or maybe that you almost ended up with someone else (the wrong person)? A nostalgic look back at how you did meet might bring you a smile but according to a study done at University of Virginia, a reflection about how you might not have ended up together can make you even happier with your life and with your husband. When 88 adults were split in to 3 groups, one group wrote about how they met their spouses. A second group wrote about how it might not have happened. A third group wrote about completely different things. But those who wrote about nearly missing a great opportunity showed greater boosts in satisfaction with their life and their relationship. So, how about it? Leave me a comment and tell me about how you almost didn’t end up with your husband. (source: Good Housekeeping)

Jonie wanted to keep most of her images for her man’s eyes only. But here are a few that she said I could share with you. Oh my gosh, I love how long her awesome hair is. I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for about 2 years and it’s no where near this long. I’ve got a long way to go!
Here is what Jonie had to say about her experience. “I went into have have my first boudior photo session with Rayleigh and had a blast! She made me feel beautiful and confident. I was very nervous going there, not knowing what I was getting myself into, but Rayleigh helped made me feel comfortable. And the rest of the time we were talking a lot and even laughing! And the makeup artist did an amazing job! Thank you Rayleigh so much for a great time and awesome pictures. See you again in the near future!”

Show up and work it!
If you want to feel sexy during your boudoir shoot, you’ve got to really be in to the shoot and be open. Posing is my job. But posing is only half of it. Confidence will show up in your photos and you have to bring that. Even if you are just faking it! If you are self conscious about your body, then just pretend you aren’t. It seems silly. But when your man sees your glowing face and your rockin’ curves, he isn’t going to care if your love handles are a bit more lovely than they used to be. But he won’t even see that because Photoshop is a magical weight loss regimine that helps you lose 10 pounds in matter of seconds. 
Come on! Stretch outside your comfort zone and give it all you have. Let’s do this!

Ever wonder what your daughter thinks about beauty when she looks at her Mother who is her definition of love, warmth, and beauty? Does her opinion of beauty change as she sees you talk badly about your own looks. How will she learn what true beauty is if you don’t teach her? I came across a great article on Offbeat Mama that I would love for you to read. Start telling your daughters that you are beautiful so they will learn to recognize beauty in themselves. I don’t have any children yet, but I can imagine this would be a hard thing to do as you look in the mirror and count all your flaws. But if I have a daughter some day, I want her to believe that she is beautiful. How can I convince her of that if she knows that I don’t believe that I am beautiful, too? I’m not much of a writer, so you should read the Offbeat Mama article as they put this point much more elliquently.

Jordan came to me for a bridal boudoir shoot so she could have a special gift for her new husband on their wedding night. We had so much fun and I love that she brought her wedding shoes, her bouquet, and her white lingerie. It looks so classicly bridal! Is classicly a word? Probably not. Haha!
