When you do a session with me you get to choose how your images are displayed or *not* displayed! I’ve photographed many women who choose to keep their images 100% private, and you will never see an image from that session - so keep that in mind while viewing these images. If you don’t see someone who “looks like you”, chances are they’ve done the damn thing, but they may have chosen to keep their images private! <3

First and foremost.... DID YOU HAVE A FUCKING BLAST DURING YOUR SESSION?!?!?!?
UHM FUCKING YES!

What number Boudoir Session (with Kristy) is this for you?
1

How were you feeling about your Boudoir Session in the weeks/days leading to your session date?
Excited, somewhat nervous.

How did you feel immediately after the photography portion of your boudoir session? (before you saw your images!)
Thinking WHY CAN'T IT GO LONGER?! Excited to see the photos, but also a bit nervous to see how they came out as I have always been disappointed with photos when I thought I would like them.

How did you feel as your saw your amazing images for the first time - the same day?
Amazed that I just did that. Shocked that I enjoyed looking at pictures of myself and not finding things that are disgusting or negative about myself.

How did you feel the moment you left, got in your car, and had time to reflect alone on your entire boudoir experience from start to finish?
Empowered that I just did that and that I looked the way I did. I was able to look at myself not merely just as a broken down vessel but one that is worth time, attention, and love. I never really felt I was worth it to put a lot into myself before because I never saw the benefits or the outcome of it, but this experience showed me that my body/whole self is something to love and put effort into.

How do you feel the communication about your boudoir session was, leading to your date?
GREAT communication - never felt that I did not know what was going on and felt very prepared for days leading up to and day of.

How did you feel Kristy did on making you feel comfortable before, during, and after your boudoir session?
Lots of laughs during the session - made it more natural. Very comfortable during all portions!

Was your Boudoir Experience how you imagined it would be?
​Better than I could have imagined!

What was your FAVORITE part of this entire experience?
DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE?! I think trying new things that I normally would not have done but I was open and just listened to the almighty Kristy and ended up loving it!

Is there anything else you’d like me to know about?
I am going to want another at some point.

What advice would you give to someone who may be on the fence about doing a Boudoir Session?
DO IT AND AS HARD AS IT IS TO BE OPEN AND WILLING - JUST LAUGH IT OUT AND SAY "YES! " Say yes to you, say yes to Kristy, say yes to loving yourself!

Please leave an overall personal experience review.
I came into this experience hoping to gain confidence and love for myself. Boy did I. I also came away with a new found love for the word "yes." I have always been more of a "no, I'm ok" type of gal because I am a nervous nelly with social anxiety. Well - I am still a nervous nelly with social anxiety but I feel that this experience brought me a type of self love that lessened this social anxiety a bit to the point of knowing that I at least know I love myself (which I honestly did not think I did before) so if others don't I at least have that. I also feel more confident to do more things and say "yes" than before because I practiced it so much during the session and guess what - NOTHING BAD HAPPENED. I don't have to pretend anymore to be someone who I am not - I love me for me and I am going to continue to be me!
