That One Time I Was a Boudoir Model.....

In September, a boudoir photographer that I had begun to follow, made a post about a model search. I modeled ONCE as a child when I was about 5, I am by no means a skilled model, but something in me said, "bitch, do it". So, I hit the link in her bio and I applied. I completed a questionnaire followed up by a return email from her stating she was interested in talking to me more! I was like "WHAT?!" and we scheduled a phone interview, by the end she asked if I would be interested in doing a model shoot for her and I EXCITEDLY accepted. Little did I know just how much of a model I would be......



My shoot was scheduled for November 15, 2021, I had the day off of work and at around 8:45 am I got in my car and headed up to Sheboygan. I was welcomed by Maria (the photographer and owner of Rebellious Angels Photography) and her makeup artist, both were so fucking sweet! As I sat in the chair getting my makeup done (HIGHLY recommend experiencing getting your make up professionally done at least once in your life!), Maria and I talked, laughed, shared stories and it literally felt like I had known her for forever! We talked a lot about motherhood and marriage and how that can lead to us feeling lost and even alone, but it was a moment where we both felt seen and heard. Which then continued throughout the entire shoot.



After hair and makeup, they did a mirror reveal and I was in absolute awe, I had never felt so beautiful in my life. In fact, I felt so comfortable with Maria, we eventually transitioned to full nude photos. NEVER in my life did I envision taking nude photos with a stranger and there I was! When I tell you, THIS WAS THE MOST EMPOWERING AND CONFIDENCE BOOSTING EVENT IN MY LIFE, I mean that with my entire being. In each pose, Maria would tell me how amazing I looked which of course kept me going! I have never felt more beautiful in my skin that I did that day. Obviously, I had done a shoot before, which was also incredible and I do believe that first experience helped me feel more comfortable for this experience. I never questioned my body or how I possibly looked like I did the first time. I had 100% faith and trust in her and she DID NOT DISAPPOINT.



The outcome of this photoshoot was like picking up your favorite magazine and seeing your favorite celebrity in all their glory looking fucking amazing. The angles, the lighting, the posing, the makeup, her studio, it was literally perfection (I don't use that word lightly). I truly believe if you are able, everyone needs to experience a boudoir photoshoot and Maria is hands down the greatest of all time. I can't wait to do another. Check her out on Instagram @rebelliousangelsphotography you are not ready for all the beauty, sass and sauce you are about to see!
