Love Yourself, Love Everything // Terre Haute, IN Boudoir Session // Kierra Josette Artistry, Inc.
/“I've followed Kierra since the very beginning of her photography career. Since the very beginning of it all, I have LOVED her work in everything she's done. I even almost went to her for my senior pictures in high school! I've always wanted to have pictures taken by her because I knew that they would turn out beautifully. Once she started doing boudoir, I fell in love. I've always had pretty low self esteem, and I just always wanted to feel beautiful like in the pictures she took. I just never had the confidence in myself, to be willing to invest the money to have these pictures taken...until she offered the pay your age event. I couldn't pass up the opportunity then!
I felt so nervous! From the moment I booked the session, I thought to myself "wtf are you doing?!" The nerves subsided and turned to excitement, until the day of my outfit consultation where I had very mixed feelings. My stomach was in knots, but also full of butterflies! Once I met with her, all of my nerves had completely disappeared. She was so kind and welcoming the entire time. I felt the exact same way the day of my shoot, except about a million times more nervous. But once I got into the studio and started talking to her again, all those nerves melted away and it was like hanging out with a lifelong friend.
Once I got into the studio and started talking to her again, all those nerves melted away and it was like hanging out with a lifelong friend. I felt so comfortable and at home there with her...like I'd done it a million times before.
I honestly don't know if I could pick one favorite. If I had to though, I would have to say my favorite part was being in the studio and getting my pictures taken, and then seeing the sneak peeks throughout.
I will admit that I still struggle with my self confidence, but this helped me so much. When I have my bad days, I can just look at those pictures and think DAMN GIRL! It helps me to remember that I should love myself for who I am, and everyone else important to me will too.
I'm going to quote Nike here and say "Just DO It!" You will not regret a single thing about doing this, so just take that step and dive right into finding your own self love story”
Dark + Moody Boudoir Session // Terre Haute Indiana Boudoir Photographer // Kierra Josette Artistry
/A boudoir session can be very intimidating. Not only are you stripping down in front of a stranger, but you have to trust that they can represent YOU and not somebody else.
I pride myself in having a completely customizable studio. Not a fan of pink and sparkle? No problem. Want dark and sultry? I’ve got you.
I completely designed a custom set-up for this babe’s session.
Read what she has to say below:
” I did this session to learn self-acceptance.
I started off the process scared and doubtful. Throughout the session those feelings changed to total ease. Instantly I knew I made the right decision, especially since Kierra rearranged everything just for me. I was free to be myself and not judged.
My favorite part of the experience was the reveal. Kierra made me feel and look beautiful. I got to see the me everyone else sees in still frame, which was so helpful for my journey.
I know now that my clothing size does not define my beauty.
Here’s my advice to you: just go in for a free consultation!! If you’re scared, you won’t be anymore. I was naked within minutes of changing clothes and I never do that even with my closest friends or boyfriend…that’s how comfy I was. The session was a breeze and goes by so fast. Just do what she says, listen to the professional she will not steer you wrong!”
