Client Spot Light: Ashley’s Boudoir Journey
Boudoir isn’t just about beautiful pictures—it’s about stepping into your power, embracing your confidence, and celebrating the woman you are. Ashley’s boudoir journey with me is the perfect example of how transformative it can be, and it shows just how much fun and empowerment await when you take that first step.
Before the Shoot: Excited but Nervous
Like many women, Ashley came into her session feeling a mix of emotions. “I was feeling all the things,” she shared. “I was excited but also nervous. I hadn’t been super comfortable or confident with the size of my body in a while.”
It’s completely normal to have those jitters. Boudoir is about stepping outside your comfort zone, and acknowledging those feelings is part of the journey. That’s where I come in—I’m there every step of the way to guide you, hype you up, and push you just enough to try something new, always in a way that feels safe and empowering. Whether it’s adjusting a pose, suggesting a new angle, or encouraging you to channel your inner goddess, my goal is to make sure you feel confident, supported, and completely in control throughout your session.
During the Shoot: Confidence in Every Pose
Once the session started, Ashley’s comfort level skyrocketed—especially because she and I go way back, knowing each other for 18 years. “It was so much fun,” she said. “Chelsey found ways to make me laugh and remained professional the entire time. She knew my stomach was one of my biggest insecurities and helped me pose in ways that didn’t show it off.”
I love helping my clients feel confident in their own skin. Boudoir is about finding the angles that highlight your favorite features, showing you in the best light—literally and figuratively—and having fun in the process. For Ashley, the laughs, the music, and the playful energy made every moment memorable. And of course, getting dolled up never hurts! Shoutout to her amazing makeup artist, Yeliz, who made Ashley feel absolutely stunning.
After the Shoot: Seeing Yourself in a Whole New Light
The real magic happened when Ashley saw her images. “Looking at the pictures definitely made me feel a lot more confident in myself, and I truly felt beautiful,” she said. “Also, I couldn’t wait to do it again because we had so much fun.”
Seeing yourself through the lens of boudoir can be a revelation. Ashley described an “ah-ha” moment: seeing how her insecurities melted away in the images. “I’ve never felt ugly or fat, but I haven’t been ‘skinny’ since I was a teenager. As women, we are our own worst critics. Seeing my pictures made a lot of those insecurities melt away.”
And this is exactly why I love what I do. Every client I work with—regardless of body type, age, or experience level—can find that same transformation. With the right guidance, encouragement, and a little playful push outside your comfort zone, you can discover a side of yourself that you might never have imagined.
Favorite Moments
Ashley had a blast getting pampered and seeing the final results. Her favorite part? “Getting dolled up was definitely fun… but the best part was getting to see the pictures afterwards.”
Her advice for women considering a boudoir session? Keep it simple: “Do it! You don’t have to do it for anyone other than for yourself if you want to. Don’t be scared—it’s FUN!”
Customizing Your Session: Confidence Meets Comfort
Ashley also shared that she opted out of certain poses for privacy reasons, which is a perfect example of how boudoir is completely customizable. Every session is tailored to your comfort, style, and vision. My role is to guide, support, and encourage you while respecting your boundaries—so you can push just enough outside your comfort zone to grow in confidence, without ever feeling unsafe or uncomfortable.
