When I asked Abby if she’d be willing to share her boudoir story, her response came without hesitation: “Absolutely!” That confidence and excitement felt like a full-circle moment, knowing where her journey began.
My name is Abby I’m 30 years old and have always loved working with dogs so I decided to become a dog groomer! I love spending time outdoors wether it’s camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, or going to races. I’m always on the go doing something outdoors!
I booked my first session with Ashley a few years ago. I was going through a hard time with my self confidence and needed something to feel myself again. The first session was a hard one for me, I was recently divorced and was feeling at my lowest point. I needed something to get my spark back! To feel beautiful in my own skin again. I was so nervous to feel exposed and felt like I needed to push myself to come back from my low.
Abby’s first session wasn’t easy for her. She felt nervous, exposed, and unsure if this was the right step. “Ashley was so open and understanding of my comfort zones,” she said. Together, we worked through her concerns, focusing on what made her feel safe and beautiful. By the end of that session, something shifted. “I felt more confident in my own skin again!”
That spark only grew. Abby booked her second session not long after, and this time, the transformation was undeniable. “Seeing the difference between my first and second session photos was amazing. I didn’t realize how much doing a boudoir shoot could make me feel beautiful and bring my spark back!”
I knew absolutely nothing about how to prepare for a boudoir shoot, but Ashley was so good about what to bring and very reassuring! I was so freaking nervous the first time. By the second session I was so excited to feel beautiful and sexy! Ashley is also the best hype woman behind the camera!!
I never would’ve thought a boudoir shoot would bring me out of my shell.
During the shoot, Abby’s confidence continued to build. At first, she worried about her poses and how the photos would turn out, but seeing a few sneak peeks on the camera changed everything. “It was such a confidence booster I didn’t know I needed! Seeing the photos a few weeks later, I look at them still and go wow I can’t believe that’s me!
When Abby saw her final photos, her reaction was a mix of excitement and disbelief. “I’ve never even worn lingerie before, let alone had someone photograph me in it. But when I saw the photos, I thought, ‘Damn… that girl looks beautiful and strong.’”
Her favorite part? How her photos became a tangible reminder of her strength and beauty. “They remind me that I am THAT woman.” Her boyfriend noticed the shift too. After her second session, he told her she seemed to hold herself higher, carrying a newfound confidence that radiated.
Absolutely, yes! Coming from someone who was just divorced and feeling low at the time this is one of the main things to pull me back up! It gave me that boost I needed and helped get my confidence back! Girl just book yourself a session now! I feel every woman needs to experience doing a session at least once in her life
Abby’s journey is proof that boudoir is about so much more than photos. It’s about rediscovering yourself, celebrating your beauty, and holding onto the reminder that you are strong, powerful, and worthy of self-love.
