Mrs. X originally came to us to do boudoir portraits as a gift for her husband’s upcoming milestone birthday. But how did she feel about doing boudoir over 50?
It’s not uncommon for our clients to do boudoir as a “gift” for their partner. However, it doesn’t take much probing to find out they are equally excited to do it for themselves. But this was NOT the case with Mrs. X. She truly was doing it just for him. As a woman in her 50s (our lips are sealed on her exact age), she was concerned the photos would simply highlight her hair loss, stretch marks, and “old lady spots” (her words). In fact, her intake questionnaire revealed a few fears but not much excitement for her shoot.
Contrast that with her thoughts after her session, pasted below. Mrs. X has even reached out to us about doing a couple’s session with her hubby, and we can’t wait!
Mrs. X’s thoughts on Boudoir Over 50:
1. What made you choose Boudoir by indigosilver studio?
Highly recommended from other ladies I know and was invited into the FB group. Thankfully
2. What were you nervous about going into your session?
Every flaw being caught on camera inside and out.
3. How do you feel now that you’ve completed the session?
Loved every minute of it! Thankful it was Lori behind the camera. I felt like I was hanging out with a friend and she was professional the whole time.
I am planning my next session already.
4. What was your favorite part of this experience?
EVERYTHING! From the moment I booked the session until it was a wrap that day. Going back later that day and reviewing the final product was exciting. Seeing the final would have to be the most favorite. I was so surprised as Lori was so good in capturing everything. Having someone there to handle my hair and make up was less worry on me as well. All of the experience was beautifully done.
5. If you were to recommend us to your best friend, what would you say?
You have to do this!!! Reach out to Lori at Indigosilver and book your session today! You will thank me once it is complete. When I did my initial phone consultation with Lori, I told her the reason I wanted to do was for my husband’s birthday present. She challenged me with this question: “Have you ever thought of doing this for yourself?” At the moment, my answer was NO. Since that day, that answer has changed. While I still had a mission in mind, I enjoyed the shopping trips, looking for the right outfits, trying them at home when alone, and giving me more and more confidence every day. I am so thankful I did this, and I really think you should give it a try as well. Even if you never share the pictures do it for your soul as a woman!
6. Anything we could have done to make your experience better?
I think you have this nailed for sure! Sending the email leading up to the shoot with so much information was so helpful. The email the day before reminding me of things to expect. I was well prepared.
