Brittany has been enjoying the married life to Kyle Moody, of Moody Motor Sports, a local sprint race car driver, these past six months and she finally had a moment to chat with me about her boudoir experience.
If you’ll recall, I shot a portion of her session at Kyle’s shop so we could incorporate the sprint car into her photos…and I worked Kyle in as well.

How long have you been wanting to do a boudoir/contemporary glamour session and what made you decide now was the time to do one?
My husband (at the time fiancé) had always asked me if I would ever get a session done for him. I told him all the time that he was crazy and I wouldn’t do it. Then, I decided to jump out of my comfort zone and thought it might be fun! So, I decided it would be the perfect, unexpected wedding gift for him!
What made you decide I was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir/contemporary glamour session?
Once I saw your work, I knew it had to be you. Everything was flawless. I also like working with smaller businesses and I felt that you fit that description. Then, I met you and knew you were the perfect photographer for the job!
What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal?
The session was by far my favorite but, the reveal comes in at a very close second! The session was so fun and upbeat. It made me feel like a model!
What did you think when you saw that first image of yourself?
“Is that really me!!?”
How did shooting this session with me change your outlook on yourself? Are you more confident?
I have always been a pretty confident person but, with clothes on. Of course my husband has always told me I’m sexy but, after the session and seeing the pictures, I definitely felt that myself!

Before this experience, did you feel you were photogenic? If no, do you feel you are photogenic now?
Yes and no. I am not extremely picky about pictures like most of my friends and feel I look pretty in most pictures. But, I never thought I was “model material” until I saw these!
Were you surprised at how much fun you had planning your session, shooting your session, and seeing your images?
Yes! I definitely had more fun than I thought I would. The element of surprise and secrecy from my husband made it all the more exciting!

Why should other women do a boudoir/contemporary glamour session with me?
Other women should do a session with you because you would make them feel beautiful and glamorous, even if they don’t feel that way normally.
