Katie's Boudoir Experience
I had a great session with Katie Pring. For Katie's session we went from a vintage french provincial look to a sexy white sheet. I did Katie's makeup with a Cut Crease look to enhance her eyes and some bold lashes to top it of. Here is what Katie had to say about her session!
How old are you?
33
What do you do for a living?
Recruitment Consultant
What made you decide to do a boudoir session?
I wanted to show myself that I am beautiful inside and out, and to take control of my confidence. Since 2013 I have lost over 30kg after being in liver failure. Since then I have joined up to a fitness program with other ladies in Australia who I have had the pleasure of climbing Mt Koziusko with as well as run city 2 surf this year. My next goal is to run a half marathon and get down to my goal weight.
What was your perception about Boudoir before your session?
Mainly that it was only suited for perfect, slim, beautiful women.
Did you have fears about committing to a boudoir session?
Yes! I was worried that I was too big and would silly, not that I didn’t trust kerry I just didn’t believe in myself. Also wearing revealing clothes in front of a stranger was a bit nerve-wracking
Was the session what you expected it to be or was it more?
It was so so much more! I loved every minute of the shoot. Kerry made me feel comfortable and relaxed, she is a professional and has such a talent for her skills in hair and make up as well as being a fantastic photographer.
What was your favourite part about your boudoir experience?
The whole day was amazing and I don’t think I could single out on thing as my fave.
Where did you go to source your boudoir outfits?
This gives tips to others as to where to look) Myer, online via Yandy plus size and taking shape.
How did you feel when you saw your photographs?
To be totally honest, I cried a little! The photos show the me that I always have wanted to be. I had no issue showing family or work mates the photos released so far. I love the photos and still smile every time I see them!
What advice would you have for other women interested in their own boudoir session?
Relax, laugh, be yourself and perfect ballerina toes and hands haha! Be ready for an amazing and fun filled day.
Did anything change about the way you see your own beauty and confidence as a result of the session? Yes. I have seen that I am beautiful and worth more than I often believe.
How did you like working with Kerry Sleeman, her team and other Collaboratives before and on the day of your photo shoot?
I loved it! I have always hidden from being in front of a camera, so this was very different for me. Kerry made sure I was comfortable and relaxed, provided great styling advice and direction and even helped me with my garter belt and stockings which I had never worn before!
Would you do it again and if so would you have changed anything?
I definitely want to do it again when I am at my goal weight and would gladly recommend Kerry to friends family and strangers.
Thanks Katie!
