Hillary’s Boudoir Testimony

“I have spent my adult life not loving me. Loving everyone else more. Giving everyone else more. My self esteem has suffered due to many things…mean girls, unhealthy relationships. Turning 40 was like a wake up call for me. It is time to love me exactly the way I am. This whole year has been about figuring out what makes me happy. I watched as Sarah’s boudoir experience blew up wanting to do it for myself, but thinking I couldn’t. Due to low confidence, I have always been so modest. I finally got brave enough to make that call. Then the morning of my shoot, I had so many nerves. My husband talked me into it the whole way.

“Turning 40 was like a wake up call for me. It is time to love me exactly the way I am.”

When I arrived, Sarah immediately made me feel so comfortable. Throughout the shoot, she told me, even showed me, exactly what to do. It wasn’t awkward at all. She reassured me the whole time that I looked gorgeous. It was just so easy working with her. After it was all done, I was so proud of myself, and didn’t know why I had been so worried at all. The shot was so fun that the time just flew by. Then on reveal day, I didn’t know what to expect. But OMG, she is just such an artist. The images were all beautiful. I kept referring to the girl in the images as “her” because I just can’t believe they were me. I had such a hard time narrowing them down for my album. I know that many years down the road I will have these pictures of me at this time, and look back so happy that I did this. Thank you, Sarah for capturing me. It truly means so much to me.”
