One of the most humbling rewards we get from our work is receiving personal testimonials from our clients. Today, we are thrilled to share Candace's empowering story. We hope her journey will inspire you to take that final step toward booking your own session and embracing your beauty.
Candace's journey to self-love and confidence began with a simple nudge—a birthday giveaway by Elizabeth. While she had planned to celebrate her 100-pound weight loss with a boudoir session, this giveaway gave her the push she desperately needed. "My self-image was holding me back," Candace shared. "I thought there was no way I could have pictures that look as good as the ones I see others have."
Finding the right photographer was never an issue for Candace. She had always been impressed with the tasteful, amazing photos from 4 Girls Glamour. The real challenge was making the decision to go for it. Like many of us, Candace found herself making excuses. "I thought I needed to lose a little more weight, I worried about finding lingerie that fits, and I questioned what I would do with photos like that."
However, the biggest obstacle was herself. "I tried to find every excuse not to do it," she admitted. With the support of her fiancé, who helped her find comfortable lingerie, Candace decided to face her fears head-on. "I figured if I didn't get over my fear of this, how could I push my kids to overcome their fears?"
The decision to book the session was ultimately about doing something for herself and overcoming her fears. "The session made me feel important," Candace said. "Being a mom, I lose sight of myself sometimes. This experience helped me realize I am so much more than just a mom who works. I am capable of so much!"
From the moment Candace walked into the studio, she felt comfortable and at ease. "The conversation was laid back, and it felt like we had all been friends for years," she said. The positive comments from Elizabeth during the session helped Candace feel good and confident.
But the highlight for Candace was seeing the photos for the first time. "I was going in with the idea that I would like 5 to 10 of them. I was shocked at how amazing they all were. It was so hard to choose!" The photos gave her a self-esteem boost like no other. "I have lost a lot of weight, but looking in the mirror, I don't always see it. Looking at these photos really helped me see what others have been telling me. It's amazing!"
Candace's experience was beyond what she could have ever imagined. "I didn't know what to expect, but I don't think I could have ever imagined how amazing it truly was. How do you set an expectation on something that you have to work through fear to do and then come out the other side a changed person? I can't wait to do it again!"
The final product—her book and digital photos—made Candace feel euphoric. "I am in love with my book and all the digital photos. I look at it all the time, so currently, the book is on my nightstand!" Every time she looks at the photos, she feels the same empowerment and achievement she felt when she first saw them.
Candace's story is a testament to the transformative power of boudoir photography. It's more than just taking pictures—it's about showing women how beautiful they are, inside and out. If you've been on the fence about booking a session, let Candace's journey inspire you to take that final step.
Boudoir photography is a celebration of you. It's about embracing your power, confidence, and beauty. It's a reminder that you are so much more than your roles and responsibilities. You are amazing, capable, and worthy of love—especially from yourself.
So, why wait? Take that leap, book your session, and experience the incredible transformation for yourself. Embrace your beauty, your power, and your worth. You deserve it.
