Bare // Kierra Josette Artistry

Most of the time I know my boudoir clients before them. Some know me through living in Vincennes, others have had family sessions with me, but sometimes I get to meet a brand new face. When I saw that she had booked an Authentically You, Fine Art Nude mini session I was so excited! It takes a special type of woman to go full out and have her first boudoir session be completely nude. However, she couldn't have rocked it more than she did. I was so impressed!!

"I struggle constantly with confidence and self esteem issues. After having my son I’ve had a hard time getting the weight off. I read so many positive comments from women who had done a session, but the big “push” for me was seeing The Worthy Project and how moving and empowering that was. At that point I knew I needed to reach out to Kierra.

Before the session I was so nervous. I didn’t know what to think, or how to breathe... I wondered if I should back out or if I had made the wrong decision.

I did the Authintically, You session mini session. When I arrived at the studio there was a personalized sign welcoming me! It was a very laid back session.

I felt amazing afterwards. Like I had just taken control of all of my negative thoughts and just like that they were gone. I felt beautiful. I felt like my body, the body I have now, was wonderful and beautiful, and strong. More importantly that it was mine! It was exactly what I needed in that time.

I no longer pick out every flaw, or wonder what others think of me. I’ve learned to love every part of myself. Not to look at what’s outside, but to look inside and see the beauty from within.

It was the best investment that I’ve made to date! I wholeheartedly recommend doing a session! Not to mention my husband loved the end result! Don’t wait. Don’t wait until you lose that 10 pounds. Until you feel more comfortable. Allow this to help you get past those insecurities. You deserve this! Do it now!"

There's a common misconception with boudoir sessions. Some think that women who have a boudoir session are highly comfortable with themselves and are quick to flaunt their beauty. This couldn't be farther from the truth. The majority of the time it's the complete opposite. Many women who are coming to me are at their weakest, most broken self. Sometimes they've hit rock bottom and this is one of the first steps of that uphill climb. The trust and security these women are laying on me is eye opening. A boudoir session is a way to break down those walls and this beauty did just that.

" Since our wedding, my husband has loved me through the loss of our baby, unsuccessful fertility treatments, and my fluctuating weight because of crazy hormones. When I felt my body had betrayed me, he still kissed it endlessly. It never mattered to him that I didn't like my body (or even my self, sometimes) he loved every part of me, regardless. I wanted a session to try and get a glimpse of myself though my husband's eyes. 

Before the session I was a little hesitant. Though I did a session for my husband before our wedding, we had been through so much that I didn't quite see myself the same way as I did then.  Although I'm not quite as flexible as some as the poses might have required, I never felt funny or out of place. I felt sexy for once, empowered even, and ready to love myself again.

These pictures were first ones I've ever even remotely felt that I could see myself the way my husband sees me every day. My favorite part was getting to see my images! My jaw literally fell to the floor because I was just sure that these were NOT my photos!

These pictures were first ones I've ever even remotely felt that I could see myself the way my husband sees me every day. He doesn't care if my hair is out of place or that I forgot to put on makeup, all he sees is me. And he thinks I'm beautiful. Thankfully, I was finally able to see that with these pictures.

Put aside any doubts that you can't or that you should wait until those few extra pounds are gone, because you need to love yourself NOW.

Don't keep putting off your session. If you want it, book it. Kierra will make you feel as though you are the most beautiful woman out there and it is worth every penny!"

It is with great pride and happiness I share with you this amazing women's strength, beauty, and WORTHINESS.

Out in the wild // Kierra Josette Artistry

"I did a session because I wanted to love myself and feel proud of my body. I especially have a lack of confidence in my breast. Also I love doing life modeling so I was curious how they would be different. I was very excited. Of course I was a little nervous after, all I had no idea how different from life modeling it would be. 

There was a cute sign waiting for me welcoming me with my name on it. She helped me pick out my outfits and got us each a bottle of water. We headed outside to the woods on the way we went over what I wanted and she made sure all my questions were answered. Kierra was friendly and we had fun talking. 

I found myself feeling more confident as soon as I put on the clothing items in the woods. It also helped that while Kierra is helping you pose and taking pictures she gives words of encouragement. After the session I felt like goddess, mainly of the booty". 

Outdoor sessions are always a refreshing change from our studio shoots. There's so many unique locations and places we can use. There's also the thrilling sensation of being nude outside. Although on private, secluded land, there's always a sense of freedom and wanderlust girls experience during their shoot. I love watching them transform from nervous and timid into free spirits frolicking around outside in their lingerie. It makes me proud to see them embracing their true self.

"I use to not wear tight cloths or half shirts because of my stomach or because I thought my breast were to small for it. Now I say "oh well if you don't like it don't look but your missing out cause I'm hella cute!"
 

That right there. She feels "hella cute" in her own body nobody what clothing she has on. Mission accomplished.
