Oh jeepers!
You know those gals you meet and you just click… like the ‘did we just become best friends?’ kinda way. Miss M is one of those women! I always hope that my clients become dear friends, but with Miss M., I knew right away that it was a guarantee! From the instant you see her you just want to hug her (and I did lol, cause that’s what I do!). She has this vibrant energy and million dollar smile that takes your breathe away. I have been preparing for {BOUDOIR BEND} and I thought I would share a sneak peek and her take on being a {BOUDOIR} VIP… Check back soon to see the rest of her ahhhhhmazing shoot!
Hugs!
Erika
Shut. The. Front. Door.
> Why did you decide to have a fabulous {BOUDOIR} shoot?:
We had family pictures taken by Erika and she mentioned her events. There were a few reasons I wanted to have pictures taken. At first, I wanted them as a gift for my hubs. We recently had a baby and I wanted to prove to him I still looked good! After going back and forth, talking myself out of them and Erika talking me back into them numerous times, I finally decided I wanted to do it for me, to prove to myself I still looked good!!!
> What were your expectations going in to the photo shoot?:
I expected to feel extremely nervous (which I was), I expected that I would try to talk myself out of it (which I did) and most importantly, I thought Erika would make me feel comfortable (which she totally did)!!!!
> Were you feeling 100% at your best? Physically, emotionally, bloaty, etc:
Nope! I had a baby a year ago, nothing’s quite where it used to be. Enough said.
> What was your first reaction when you saw the final product?:
Surprise. Complete surprise. It didn’t look like me. There are a few pictures that I really love and a few that I really don’t. There are pictures that show off parts of my body that I hate, those aren’t my favorites. However, there are pictures where I feel amazing!!
> What would you recommend to other women who are not feeling they are at their ‘best’ and are hesitant to do a {BOUDOIR} shoot?:
There’s always going to be a reason to not do it but instead of looking at those, focus on why this was the perfect time!
> What was your favorite part of the {BOUDOIR} experience?:
Honestly, I loved getting ready for the pictures. Erika made me feel so comfortable and helped make sure I was looking my best. The first pictures were awkward to say the least but after a few shots, i felt like I was in a photo shoot!!! The champagne was also a huge help!!!
> How was shooting with Erika? How would you describe her style and energy?:
Erika is amazing. She is so fun and inspiring. She honestly makes you feel like a model and incredibly beautiful. She can be intimidating because of her style and the fact she’s drop dead beautiful, but after a minute of being with her, you realize she’s so friendly! It’s kind of hard not to fall in love with her!!! Not to mention her pictures are fantastic.
> What do you wish you would have done differently or what do you wish you would have brought?:
I wish I would have looked a little more natural in my pictures. I was so nervous and wish I would have relaxed and not taken myself quite so seriously. It’s over before you know it, so enjoy every second.
> If this was a gift, what was your partner’s reaction when he saw the photos?:
He loved them. He is anxiously awaiting the final product.
> How did this experience change the way you look and feel about yourself?:
It made me realize I am my worst critic. I am so tough on myself and need to give myself a little more credit. I don’t look like I did when I was 21, but I am also not the same person I was when I was 21. I am a wife, mother, have an amazing career and I am proud of where I am in my life. These are pictures I will be able to look back on and remember an incredible time in my life.

Love you E! You’re amazeballs!
