LOVE NOTES

I know first hand how vulnerable planning a boudoir shoot can make you feel.  I know that when it comes to picking the right boudoir photographer it's all about trusting the person behind the camera.  That's why I think it's so important for you to hear from the women that I've worked with themselves, not just me.  

 
 
Jen made it very easy for me to relax. I felt as though I was just hanging out with my best friend. She directed me in every pose and when we were done with the shoot I was so proud of myself for going through with it. It took me three years to build up the courage.

I was incredibly nervous before the shoot. I am not a size 2, and was nervous that I would look terrible. What happened, was the EXACT opposite. I felt so comfortable, and the pictures turned out amazing! Jen knows exactly how to pose you to bring out your best features! Every woman should do this!!!!

I wanted to do this because I needed to feel good about myself again. I had gotten cancer and the treatments made me gain weight that I couldn’t control. Where I used to fit in a size 4 dress now I fit in a size 16. It made me feel horrible. Once I saw the pictures from the shoot I could hardly believe they were me. It helped me to see that even though I’m much thicker I’m still pretty and I still even have sex appeal. It was so nice to step out of my day to day routine and do something like this.

“I WOULD DO THIS AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT- SUCH A GREAT GIFT TO MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND.”

My biggest fear was dropping my mask. And believe it or not, my fear did come true but I was liberated for it. When I was in my early 20s, I was more in tune with my sensuality and sexuality. But in today society, being so comfortable in one’s skin gets you labeled as a “slut” or “easy.” So as an adult, I’ve tucked that side of myself away and have become more conservative to become a “lady.” Because this session leaves it all to bare, you really can’t hide behind anything because all there is IS your skin. And it forced me to ask myself the hard question: “Why hadn’t I been comfortable in my own skin earlier?

“The album is...the pictures are....there are no words! Beautiful does not even come close to describing what I think of them! They are gorgeous, yes...but they are so much more than that.” -Amy


It’s interesting, I had breast tumors removed from both of my breasts when I was a young teenager. Back in those days, the doctors didn’t really care about the scars that were left behind. I used to be incredibly self conscious about my breasts and didn’t like for anyone to see them. I was especially conscious of the scars when a man would see them for the first time. The scars have lessened with time, but they are still there. Before going for my session, I had worried that they would show up in the pictures and had thought I would mention them. After I left and was driving home, I realized that I had not thought about them once while Jen was taking my pictures! Thirty years of embarrassment melted away in one day.

It brings a spark into you that makes you feel... HELL YEAH! “This” might be this way or my tummy maybe big, but I FEEL SEXY and absolutely GORGEOUS! One of the best decisions ever! It’s let me see that I am a sexy, fierce, curvy, GORGEOUS woman!
