Q: How did you first hear of Rachel Jasmine Studio and what made you want to book with us? 

A: After researching many Boudoir photographers on Instagram and Facebook, I knew RJS was going to be my choice as soon as I saw her work. Reading through Rachel’s website, I loved the fact that she gets to know each client a little before shooting, and focused on enhancing their beauty!
I still wanted to look like ME!

Q: What was your initial reason for booking? 

A: I had many reasons for booking a Boudoir shoot, but the main reason was to remind myself of the BAD BITCH I am! I had gone through some of the hardest life events that year and needed a pick me up. I needed to shake the negativity out of me and knew this was the answer. I think about my pictures every week and oftentimes look at my prints when I’m having a bad day.

Q: Did you have any expectations going into the shoot? What were they? 

A: I tried to not expect anything (which was difficult!)
Of course I was nervous, I’m only human! I was worried that my outfits were too revealing, I didn’t have the ‘Boudoir look’, and that my pictures wouldn’t come out as I wished.
As soon as I stepped in the studio and had my hair and makeup done, I instantly saw this experience as a treat and became comfortable with Rachel and her team.

Q: What was it like seeing your images for the first time? 

A: Nerve-wracking! In a good way! During the shoot, Rachel was INCREDIBLY engaged and was getting so excited that she showed me a few photos.
But when it came time for the image reveal, my expectations were exceeded; the colors, poses, outfits, my expressions, everything came together.

Q: What products did you purchase, and why do you think other women might love the same pieces? 

A: I admit, I purchased a package at first which came with only 10 images. But after seeing the results I ended up purchasing every photo, and don’t regret it one bit.
I’ll only be 30 years old once and this was a gift to myself, I deserve it!

Q: Has anything changed for you since your boudoir experience and seeing your gallery? How has boudoir impacted your body image as a woman? 

A: One word: empowered.
At first, this shoot was just for me. However I’ve shown so many friends my shoot and have even talked some into thinking of doing a shoot for themselves. I have a newfound confidence, knowing that I did something that scared me at first.

Thank you to Rachel and her amazing team! We need more women to feel comfortable in their own skin, and Rachel has the power to do just that!

Q: Would you recommend Rachel Jasmine Studio for the luxury boudoir experience to others? 

A: Absolutely! Don’t hesitate, and don’t be afraid.
You won’t regret it and will have your photos forever!

Q: What advice would you give to another woman considering the boudoir experience with Rachel Jasmine Studio? 

A: I recommend looking at lingerie online and to practice some poses if you are considering. It was a great way for me to become more comfortable in my own skin, that by the time I arrived at the studio, I had already tried on my outfits and had poses in mind I wanted to do.

Q: Is there anything else you’d like to add to your interview? 

A: If you view this as a form of self-care, you’ll get so much more out of the experience.
Just do it! I’m rooting for you!
