From Nervous to Knockout: What Real Clients Say About Their Boudoir Experience

Let’s be honest—booking a boudoir session can feel scary. There’s that little voice in your head that says, “What if I feel awkward? What if I don’t look like the women I see in the photos?” But time and time again, the clients who walk into my studio feeling nervous are the same ones who leave feeling radiant, confident, and completely obsessed with their images.

Don’t just take my word for it—here’s what real Backroom Boudoir clients have said about their journey from self-doubt to full-on bombshell.

“The thought of being naked in front of a stranger scared the whatsit out of me!”

Isabel came in with low self-confidence and a lot of nerves. She almost didn’t book at all. But after deciding to gift an album to her husband, she took the leap—and was so glad she did.

“The studio was warm. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Brynne knows her craft and worked with me to arrange poses to create some amazing photos... Most importantly, my husband was so happy with his gift! If you're wondering whether to do it—I would say—go for it. It's empowering and you'll be so happy with the outcome.”

“I’m a shy girl who stepped out of her comfort zone…”

Beatrice booked a session as part of a personal goal to step into her confidence. Even though it was out of her norm, she left with zero regrets.

“All the photos were so beautiful, it was hard to choose the ones I wanted. I love my photos and I am so happy I chose to book this with Brynne… I do not regret it. Brynne made it feel so comfortable and chill and does such an amazing job directing you to get that perfect shot.”

“I never thought of myself as ‘sexy’... but after this, I felt so empowered.”

Kikei came in hoping to surprise her husband with a bridal boudoir gift—but ended up surprising herself with a whole new level of confidence.

“Despite the heatwave, Brynne made sure I was comfortable and hydrated. She took my physical limitations into account and taught me how to pose effortlessly… I screamed with glee when I saw the gallery. I never thought of myself as ‘sexy’ but after this, I felt so empowered, confident, and definitely sexy.”

“Coming out of your comfort zone is not easy…”

Julie booked her shoot after going through a divorce—hoping to reconnect with herself.

“As someone being very shy, I can easily say the experience was amazing. Seeing the end results, it was hard to believe that it was me. I’m so happy and proud of myself for doing this. It’s something I’ll treasure forever.”

“I walked in with no clue how to pose…”

If you’ve ever worried about not knowing what to do in front of the camera, you’re not alone. But Soli (and honestly, most of my clients) will tell you—guidance is part of the process.

“The makeup artist and photographer were both wonderful… I walked in with no clue on how to pose or look, but the photographer guides you through every pose. I will definitely be back again.”

“Each shot radiated elegance and sensuality.”

Nicole was looking for something meaningful and intimate for her soon-to-be husband—but what she got was something even bigger.

“From the moment I stepped into the studio, I felt at ease and empowered. Brynne was incredibly professional, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the session… The photos turned out breathtakingly stunning. It was the perfect gift, but also an unforgettable experience for me.”

Still on the fence?

You're not alone. Almost every client starts with nerves—but leaves feeling strong, sexy, and seriously obsessed with their photos.

“I never thought I could look like that in a photo.”
“I’ve never felt so beautiful in my life.”
“This was a gift for my partner, but it turned out to be a gift for ME.”

Whether you're celebrating a milestone, getting married, or just doing this for you—a boudoir shoot is so much more than sexy pictures. It's a reclamation. A celebration. A love letter to your current self.

Ready to go from nervous to knockout? I promise, you’ve got this—and I’ve got you.
