What the heck had I done? // Terre Haute, Boudoir Session // Kierra Josette Artistry

Why did you want a boudoir session with Kierra Josette- Intimate Artistry?

I initially met Kierra through a friend of mine. She had decided to have me tag along to her scheduled boudoir shoot with Kierra, just to have an extra eye on possible wardrobe malfunction and moral support. After watching it all unfold before me, seeing the pics after her shoot, and also becoming obsessed with these brave, incredibly beautiful women in social media groups,... I secretly wanted to look and feel as amazing as the women in those photos. Soooo, black Friday arrived, and I caught the ad Kierra was running. I'm not sure if it was the turkey or the free flowing Holiday spritzers, but I bought a session. I carefully planned it to coincide with my husband's birthday, Christmas, and our second anniversary. I did NOT own a single piece of lingerie.....

What were your initial feelings BEFORE the session?

Panic! Oh Lawd did I panic! What exactly did I think I was doing?! I was a 30+ pushing 40, out of shape, pasty white, old, fat, flat, saggy, stretch marked up, mother! I mean, my husband couldn't possibly appreciate these! I was freaking! Plus I had more on my plate than I could ever begin to explain, including facing some possible serious health issues of my own. I was in near tears when I arrived.

How (if any) did your feelings change during or after your boudoir session? 

I recall stepping through the door of Kierra's studio, and this cute as could be, near immediate soothing creature approached me with a comforting, calming smile. Chill, yet flustered, we dove right in. Changing into lingerie she thought best suited my body, and instantly snapping pics, all while conversating about life and anything that came to mind. I was calm. I was momentarily freed from many of my current life burdens. I relaxed for the first time in a long while,... with this tiny human, that I am quite certain is an angel.

What was your favorite part of your boudoir experience?

All of it. Kierra really has something special. When she talks about self-love, and the beauty you ARE worthy of feeling... she means it. She believes it. She believes in YOU!

How (if any) did your boudoir experience change your overall being?

Let's just say I booked a session with Kiera to produce a product for my husband as a gift. THAT was not at ALL what actually received! When Kierra showed me my final products, the photos she captured of me, the photos that made me view myself differently, in a way like never before, and then FEELING the way I felt about them... I realized I hadn't just received a product for a gift to my husband at all!!! I ended up with a therapuetical session that forever changed the way I view and feel about myself, about my body. THIS, was all for ME! This was much more than a gift for my husband. THIS, was about waking my inner being. For the very first time, I felt beautiful. For once, I thought, you know what,.... I AM worthy!

What advice or information would you give to someone wanting to book a session with Kierra? 

If you are interested in a boudoir session with Kierra in any way, shape, or form.... just please do it! As we all continue to grow older, and life seemingly more chaotic at times than you think you can possibly handle... One session will stop you in your tracks. One session will not only result in the utmost beautiful products, but change the way you view yourself, and eliminate any doubt or insecurities you have within.

Describe your session: 

I think I just did above. Most likely, in far too many words. :)

Would you consider booking another boudoir session in the future?

Absolutely! If I could afford it, I would book seasonally! Year after year! I would book in every state, studio, or possibility for a session!
