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”
