What was the biggest thing holding you back from booking sooner?

Being someone who had come from a toxic marriage, and someone who had never thought I was more than a quirky, silly, goofball, I didn't think I deserved it. That I wasn’t good enough.  I believed that any photos of me in my undies would make me look like a circus freak.

​

What made you the most nervous going into the session?

I walked in there unbelievably nervous and left feeling like a completely different woman. I was worried that the photographer would take one look at me and change their mind; realize they had made a mistake asking me to be there because I was too…much. Too much body, too much personality, and too much insecurity.  My confidence changed just within a few minutes. The atmosphere during the session was incredible, and Angie's passion for her work made it that much better. She lifts you up, and is truly so empowering during the shoot. I couldn’t have had a better experience, and I’m so thankful that Angie trusted me and could see someone I could not through her lens.

​

Did Angie make you feel comfortable during the photo shoot? 

I was pampered with hair and makeup services to help me feel my best. I was guided through a series of poses and shots designed to highlight my best features and showcased my unique personality and sensuality. Throughout the experience, Angie encouraged me to let go of my insecurities and embrace my natural beauty. She worked with me to create images that reflected my individuality and helped me to feel confident, empowered, and beautiful.

​

What was your favorite part of the photo session?

I have been on a journey of finding and rediscovering myself. I have been looking for opportunities to take steps towards reclaiming my identity and voice. We all deserve to feel beautiful, heard, and celebrated. One of my favourite photos taken was when Angie told me to breathe, stand strong, and say “I am here”. I felt so powerful, and it shows in my photo. I loved how Angie walks you through the narrative. It isn’t just a photo session, it is a moment captured in time.  Hear me roar!

​

Can you explain how the session made you feel?

This year has been an important year for me as I have discovered an advocate voice for speaking up for women, empowering women, and celebrating our strengths, talents, and uniqueness. Loved. Empowered. Celebrated. Confident. Valid. I am so glad that I gave myself the gift of this experience.

​

Did your images turn out better than you expected?

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful burlesque girl of all?  Wow.  Look at that woman.  Look at what she has grown into.    Thank you Angie for helping me to see that again.

​

Does this change how you view yourself?

I have always felt like I was the ugly duckling. But this turned out to be an empowering photo shoot that helped to celebrate my beauty and confidence. Angie has been part of a truly empowering journey of self-love that opened my eyes.  Thank you for bringing my smile back.
