A Grooms Gift and Beyond

80b1dd83abd3ad454d867562288c5564(pp w480 h319) A Grooms Gift and BeyondSeveral months ago Ms. A came to Belle Boudoir for help creating the best grooms gift she could think of- one of our exquisite Bedside Table Books. (Click Here to see an example) Ms.A met her now husband in College while working at one of the football games. It was a story you would only hear in a Rom-Com from the 90’s; Their eyes met, sparks flew, and they became instantly inseparable. Following college, Ms. A’s now husband was drafted to play professional baseball and when that career took him on the road, she went with him. It may sound glamorous but being constantly on the road will put any relationship to the test and these two passed with flying colors. Fast forward to November of 2014 and this beautiful couple walked down the aisle together. 

Once Ms. A settled on giving her fiancé boudoir images as a grooms gift, she then had to decide where to have it done. The moment she clicked on the Belle Boudoir website, Ms. A knew it was the right studio for her. The gorgeous images, thorough information, and attention to detail were what sold her. So, Ms. A booked her appointment with us and anxiously awaited her session date.

As most women are, Ms. A was both nervous and excited leading up to her boudoir session. ” I  mean, hello. I’ll be standing there almost naked with a complete stranger taking pictures of me! … I have no clue how to be sexy, I am much too reserved to have ever even felt like I was capable of it.  However, that completely disappeared after sitting in (hair and makeup artist) Nikoma’s chair for just a few minutes. She put me so at ease and had me excited and laughing in no time. After my hair and makeup was completed (AKA I felt like a Victoria’s Secret Angel) I met Cheryl to start my shoot and didn’t have an ounce of anxiety.”

“Everything was so much fun. I loved getting all dolled up with Nikoma because she is hilarious and so personable, plus I felt so glamorous after! I also really liked taking pictures with Cheryl, she made me feel so at ease and told me exactly what to do with my body, which relieved a lot of stress from me. But then there is the picture reveal at the end and of course that is so much fun too! I could barely pick between pictures, they were all so amazing! All in all I loved every aspect of my day, it was perfect.”

When I asked Ms. A what she took away from her experience with Belle Boudoir, she responded by saying ” I had looked at tons of Cheryl’s work before coming in, so I knew what her and Nikoma were capable of, but you really never understand just how amazing they are until you get your own pictures back. Walking out of the studio I felt confident, sexy, and completely on top of the world… Nothing has ever boosted my confidence quite like my experience at Belle Boudoir has. I was also giddy with excitement over my gift, I knew my hubby was going to love it!” 

Ms. A. loved her experience with Belle Boudoir so much that she booked bridal portrait session with us following her wedding and plans to return for another boudoir photoshoot sooner than later! We loved having Ms. A in studio and couldn’t be more excited to have her back in studio.
