I just finished up the new and improved cloud set! We did some similar sessions back at the old studio at the end of 2020/beginning of 2021, however, there were some elements I really wanted to add that I never got to. I recently finished creating the large window set and thought, why not?! This beautiful babe decided to help me bring my vision to life! She has had 2 other boudoir sessions with me, one was one of my very first Harry Potter sessions and the other was one of my absolute favorite Hidden Paradise sessions. In her second session, we tried out the blush angel wings and a citrus milk bath in my clawfoot tub, along with some blinged out outfits!
This time around, we went with the grey angel wings and some blue neon lights and she brought in a couple of dangly, pearl necklaces that we paired with some pearl pasties. We had so much fun, even if we did knock a cloud down in the process lol!! I always have so much fun photographing her and I can’t wait to do it again! Here’s what she had to say about her session:
Before the Session
How do you feel about your photoshoot? I feel really good, excited!
What are you nervous about? I don’t think I’m super nervous about anything just because this is my third time doing it! I feel pretty comfortable and relaxed.
What are you most excited for today? I’m excited to get dolled up! There’s so much to be excited about. Definitely getting dolled up today, I really like it.
Why are you doing a session? Sometimes I need to be reminded that, for myself, that I’m beautiful. Not that THIS makes you beautiful but stripped down, is beautiful.
What do you hope to get out of this experience? Self-love, for sure, because there’s days when I’m like, “I don’t like the way I look, I don’t like anything about me, and I definitely need to focus on me.” My self-love for sure.
After the First Outfit
How are you feeling now that we’ve taken some photos? I feel super amazing, like all of it, I’m super excited to see all the pictures.
What are you the most excited for? The reveal, for sure.
Are you having a good time? Yes, I feel fantastic.
Describe how you feel right now: I feel honestly amazing, you know, even like I did a lot of stretching this time because I realized I needed it but I feel so good. I’m having so much fun.
After the Photoshoot is Done
Now that your session is over, how do you feel? Fantastic! I feel so good, I’m ready, I want to see them!
What are you the most excited to see? I think the blue lights with the wings!
Now that it’s over, do you still feel nervous at all? Absolutely not, no.
What was your favorite part? I definitely think playing with the wings, I still think that’s one of my favorite things.
Are you excited to see your images? YES! I’m ready.
Can you explain how the session made you feel? It makes you feel so good about yourself. Because you’re not wearing anything and it’s not the name brand of clothes or anything like that it’s just you. It makes you appreciate your own body. It makes you feel beautiful.
After the Reveal
Describe how it feels seeing your images for the first time: Giddy, you’re like, “Oh that’s me, that’s me!”
Did your images turn out better than you expected? Oh, 100 percent!
Which one is your favorite and why? The butt with the wings, that’s one of my absolute favorites. I love the anonymous for one but booty shots, “Phew, gosh dang!” Like I remember the first time getting my pictures done and you were like, “Let’s just do a couple.” And I was like, “Ew, no, don’t do that!” And now I’m like, “Dang, look at that! I’ll put my butt up there!”
Does this change how you view yourself? No, it really doesn’t but it makes me feel good about myself. Like I knew I was beautiful anyway but the pictures just help capture it.
What would you tell someone thinking of booking? DO it. Just love yourself right now. Don’t wait to lose the weight, just do it. Because you’re not ever going to be as perfect as you want to be in your head. Just book it now, do it like 2 months in advance. You can change plenty of things about yourself but sometimes you’re just going to go back to how you were before, so why change it? If you keep waiting you’re just never going to.
Why would you recommend Tara Rae Photography? Seriously, you make me and you make people feel so good. For real, with me you’re just like, “Dang! I like that. Yeah, yeah!” I love it. It’s all about me and nothing else and you even the way you speak to me. You don’t judge me, there’s no judgement here.
