Boudoir Session with Jessica
Working with Jess was an absolute blast. Jess come along to the boudoir session wanting to so something for herself and her partner. Jess wore a range of gorgeous lingerie which we captured on a white sheet set to highlight the details. Here is what Jess had to say about her experience!
How old are you?
27 years of age
What do you do for a living?
Child care educator
What made you decide to do a boudoir session?
I wanted some sexy photos for my fiancé (now husband); I had also gained a considerable amount of weight and I wanted to see photos of myself as I am and be happy with myself.
What was your perception about Boudoir before your session?
My perception was that I would have sexy or nude photos taken, I didn’t have any other thoughts about it but I definitely wanted to have them taken!
Did you have fears about committing to a boudoir session?
My worst fear was having a nasty photographer that would make comments regarding my weight, stretch marks and scaring (Absolute worst case scenario!)
Was the session what you expected it to be or was it more?
My hair and make-up well exceeded my expectations! Sometimes I am a bit negative and my thoughts were the photos will look amazing but I wasn’t sure how well my hair and make-up would be done. My expectation were absolutely met, I looked at my photos after edited and I was pleased with myself and felt comfortable the way I am.
What was your favourite part about your boudoir experience?
The excitement of the whole day! It was awesome to get my hair and make-up done and feel glamorous for the day, I normally don’t even put any makeup on!
What was your reaction to your makeup and hair?
I was amazed with my hair and make-up! I think the colours and hairstyle complemented my face and skin colour.
Where did you go to source your boudoir outfits?
Most of my lingerie and things I wore on the day had come from a website called Fantasy Lingerie which sells plus size lingerie and City Chic.
How did you feel when you saw your photographs?
I was in awe when I saw my photos especially during the slideshow with the music and captions; I felt excited that I finally had boudoir photos to show my partner.
What advice would you have for other women interested in their own boudoir session?
Just do it! There are payment plans if money is an issue and you really just need to feel comfortable in your own skin. Kerry is trusting, kind and non-judgmental. All bodies are beautiful! Also Kerry knows so many different poses that are flattering and sexy looking because it can be tricky to look ‘sexy’ or flirt with the camera.
Did anything change about the way you see your own beauty and confidence as a result of the session?
I felt a bit better about myself after the photo shoot, I have returned to the gym and am feeling much better about my future health wise.
How did you hear about Kerry Sleeman Photography?
I believe I saw a post from Kerry on Queanbeyan buy, swap and sell.
How did you like working with Kerry Sleeman, her team and other Collaboratives before and on the day of your photo shoot?
I don’t have a thing negative to say, Kerry was phenomenal. I felt relaxed, welcomed and happy. I couldn’t have asked for more.
Would you do it again and if so would you change anything?
I plan to do another shoot in the future when I am at or close to my goal weight, this time I would love to do a beach boudoir photo shoot!
Would you recommend others?
I had a lot of the ladies I work with ask me about the photo shoot after they saw a couple of my photos, I absolutely recommended they give it a go.
Did you consider a Stylist Package by Sueno Designs?
No predominately because I was on a bit of a budget, I had been saving for the basic photo shoot for a few weeks.

Jess Finley Testimonial: Firstly I would like to start by saying what a lovely, knowledgeable and professional and friendly photographer Kerry was and is…I had a fabulous day, getting all jazzed up and having sexy photos taken was just so far from my usual routine of caring for my son and cleaning, grocery shopping etc. I was thrilled to see the end results! I was presented with the photos I selected on a USB all in high resolution. I highly recommend Kerry and I really believe every woman should try a boudoir photo shoot at least once.
Thanks Jess!
