How a Boudoir Session in Princeton, MN Helped One Woman Celebrate Losing 121 Pounds

Boudoir is about so much more than sexy photos.

For this amazing client, her boudoir session in Princeton, MN was a way to celebrate losing 121 pounds, honor how far she had come, and finally see herself in a whole new way.

When she saw my Black Friday sale in 2024, she knew the timing was perfect. She was just a few pounds away from losing 100 pounds and wanted to celebrate in a way that actually meant something. In her words, it was either this or a Louis Vuitton bum bag. Thankfully, she chose the photoshoot, and she says it brought her way more happiness.

Even after losing the weight, she admitted she still looked in the mirror and saw the old version of herself. That is something so many women can relate to. Sometimes your body changes before your mind catches up.

Going into her boudoir session, she was excited but still had some nerves. Her biggest concern was finding outfits that made her feel good with the extra skin left after weight loss. She was also worried about posing and feeling awkward in front of the camera.

But the second she stepped into the studio, she started to relax. Seeing the client closet full of options helped ease her mind, and she loved the fun girl talk while getting ready.

Her favorite part of the shoot was the ice and water set. She said those images still live rent-free in her brain. She also loved the booty shots in heels because they made her feel so confident and reminded her how amazing her legs looked.

Then came the image reveal.

Her first reaction?

“Holy shit.”

That was the moment it really clicked. She could finally see what she had accomplished. She had done the hard work. She had changed her life. And for the first time, she could truly see it.

She said the experience helped her say, “screw the extra skin,” and focus instead on how far she had come and how strong she really is.

The most empowering part of her boudoir journey was realizing she was capable of doing hard things, and capable of being uncomfortable long enough to become comfortable.

She also shared something that really stuck with me. Part of why she did this was for her daughter. She wants her to grow up seeing that being sexy is not about a size or shape. It is about how you carry yourself, how you treat yourself, and how you love your body.

That is what boudoir is all about.
