How old are you?
28
What do you do for a living?
Executive assistant in the public service.
What made you decide to do a boudoir session?
It makes me feel pretty and feminine. Boudoir encompasses so much beauty from a more raw perspective.
What was your perception about Boudoir before your session?
Positives, due to the fact that I had done lingerie before and i am not too conscious of my body. I often thought that it stuck to the themes of pin up and 1920s style but this session didn’t just conform to that which was good. Not everyone is going to suit particular themes and I dont suit pin up styles so I enjoyed what we did.
Did you have fears about committing to a boudoir session?
Being self conscious about certain aspects of my body and not knowing Kerry’s editing skills or her understanding of my insecurities.
Was the session what you expected it to be or was it more?
It was better than what i expected. Kerry made me feel comfortable in every way and we both achieved what we wanted from the shoot. She is a lovely friendly bubbly person who made it all enjoyable.
What was your favourite part about your boudoir experience?
The shoot was fun and the amount of outfit changes we got in for the dedicated time was great. I really felt that the time utilised allowed a diverse range of what i had to offer in every way.
Where did you go to source your boudoir outfits?
Some of kerrys items and bras and things.
How did you feel when you saw your photographs?
Satisfied and happy that I looked good.
What advice would you have for other women interested in their own boudoir session? Practice posing in the mirror as you dont know how you look when you are posing so you can recognise the way your body moves and be conscious about areas of your body that might turn a certain way to reveal an unsatisfying perspective. Communicate with Kerry about your concern areas or any concerns with the shoot so it can be addressed.
Did anything change about the way you see your own beauty and confidence as a result of the session?
Not really i have done lingerie shoots before and this was more comfortable than those.
How did you like working with Kerry Sleeman, her team and other Collaboratives before and on the day of your photo shoot?
Kerry was wonderfully professional and had a good set to work with, she made good suggestions based on the situation and brought ideas and concepts to what she wanted as well as what i needed.
Would you do it again and if so would you have changed anything?
I would do it again. It was great working with Kerry.
