Chatted with Jade a bit on what she thought of the planning process for her session and what she thought once she saw her images for the first time.
How long have you been waiting to do a boudoir session and what made you decide now was the time to do one?
I had been thinking about it for around a year when I actively started looking for a photographer.
What made you decide I was the photographer to do your boudoir session?
Kelly Brenneman, aka Kelly Belle [now known as Birdie Belle], I saw her session with you and instantly fell in love with her photos.
What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal?
I loved it all, from pinning to my own personal board on how I wanted my hair/makeup/posing. I was nervous at first for the session since it has been a long time coming, however you and Alisha made it very relaxed and comfortable.
How did shooting this session with me change your outlook on yourself? Are you more confident?
At first I was nervous on how they would look because I [didn’t do any] exercising or anything for this, however the posing and seeing them took all of that away and I’m so much more confident with myself.

Before having your session with me, did you feel you were photogenic? Has that changed for you?
Before not really, and now yes—definitely feel different.

Were you surprised at how much fun you had planning your session, shooting your session, and seeing your images?
Yes, did not think I would enjoy the planning of it all, but going through all the poses, coming up with all the outfits, and seeing it all come together was even better!

Why should other women do a boudoir session with me?
Very easy to work with. You asked my opinion on everything vs just picking out my makeup/hair/outfits. Gave me the tools I needed for proper posing, and even though my fiancé was not your client you still took him into consideration as well.
