Becca’s Boudoir Experience:
How Boudoir Lead Me to My Rock'in Self
I came across SBT boudoir years ago when a friend had used Teresa for her session and I told my self someday I will do that. The day came however I had forgotten about SBT and went to another studio with a male photographer to investigate. I was not feeling the connection and had my reservations about his work. Weirdly enough, a day later, I saw top rated boudoir studios and there was SEXYBYT. I quickly contacted her and scheduled a studio tour. I loved Teresa’s candidness and how real she is and what SHE defines and believes boudoir is all about.
I firmly believe that life is not fair. There is daily hardships, mental illness, addiction, sadness and bad days exist. Everything I have experienced and more being a single mom. With that knowledge and reality – I have committed to finding the balance of being truly happy but also embracing ours (and others) bad days/hard times.
The day of my session I was filled with nervous energy. Christine did my hair and make-up which by the way I had not had my makeup professionally done EVER! I immediately felt at ease. Teresa showed up and went over my outfits saying yes to some and no to others. I trusted her and never felt lost for one second. When I felt myself getting defeated with poses and started to get in my head on “how bad that photo of me probably looks” Teresa was right there actually posing herself directing me along and immediately any self doubt melted away.
Every-time she excitedly showed me one of my photos, I began to well up. I couldn’t believe who I was seeing on this camera screen. I was comfortable, warm and felt completely at ease. I struggle with low low of the lowest self-esteem and anxiety daily – hour to hour. In T’s presence during the shoot or otherwise – that anxiety became muted.
“My Viewing of the photos was quite literally life altering.”
As Teresa scrolled through my pictures – she exclaimed differently at each one. I felt alive. I felt excited. I felt beautiful. Sexy – something I can’t say I’ve ever truly felt. had.
Leading up to my shoot I had been digging deep through therapy and self-discovery going thru a divorce with my wife. I never ever felt ENOUGH. I worked 3 jobs moving thru life fast ( literally as one of my jobs was a dasher ) putting all my money away for my son. For years, I did nothing for myself or my appearance. I felt so underserving and became depressed and ashamed. I came out at a early age
however the effect of demeaning and self-loathing practices did not fair well in my marriage.
Teresa changed my life with our Boudoir session and made me face things I never thought I would. It wrapped me in a warm hug. It completed me. My wish is that everyone tries this for themselves and that we all see who we truly are. Beautiful, capable, strong, loved and worthy.
