Miss H's Experience | Huntington Indiana Boudoir Photographer

"It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent."
Madeleine Albright

Prior to booking your session with Eligan Boudoir, what hesitations did you have about doing a boudoir shoot?
Miss H: I’ve always struggled with Body Dysmorphic disorder. Very seldom have I ever felt comfortable in my own skin. Honestly, I hate the way I look, especially naked. After having two kids, I “window shopped” with Brenna for almost 3 years before I finally pulled the trigger.

What was your own personal reason for wanting to have a boudoir session? Was your session a gift for anyone special, or just for yourself?
H: I felt it was time to finally take hold of my disorder, and love myself. I have two little girls I’m teaching to love themselves no matter what, so it was time I took my own advice! This shoot was 100% for me, my husband definitely approved though.

Why did you choose Eligan Boudoir for your boudoir experience?
​H: Because of Brenna, she’s done multiple shoots of myself and my kids, she’s one of the best humans I ever met, and always made me feel so comfortable. I knew it would be no different even being as I was in a more vulnerable situation.

​How did your session with EB differ from what you were expecting before entering our studio?
H: Honestly, I was definitely expecting to be way more nervous. But given that Brenna and I have been friends for quite some time, it was no different than any other interaction, it felt like friends just hanging out. (Pun intended)

What was your favorite part of the boudoir experience?
H: Definitely the fact there was no anticipation, she didn’t expect anything of me. She was so chill explaining the poses, and how everything was suppose to go, and she was and still is probably my best “hype man”.

Other than beautiful photos, of course, what else did you take away from your boudoir experience? What type of impact did it have on you?
​H:  I have a new self love, I use to hate my body. But my body has been with me through so much, it’s given my two BEAUTIFUL babies. It might not look like normal beauty standards, but as Brenna ALWAYS says; EVERY BODY IS A BOUDOIR BODY. Brenna, her team, and her beautiful photos make it so easy to feel sexy, even if your brain is telling you differently. Her work speaks for itself, and I’m glad to have become closer friends from my shoot.
