Featured Bombshell: Miss A - “You won’t regret it"!”

Wonderful and powerful reviews led Miss A to schedule a boudoir session with Shalista in Savannah!

Doing a boudoir session was something I wanted to do for many years. I made every excuse in the book NOT to do it though; I need to lose weight, it's too expensive, women like me don't do this, I don't have the time, and the list goes on and on. Being a mom, I was feeling so mentally drained, lacked confidence, and struggled with body image. I finally told myself that I had been down for too long, it's time for me to get up. To get up and make a change, a change for myself. Last fall, I saw Shalista was having a sale on her sessions, and I immediately booked without much thought really. Did I have regrets after booking? Honestly, yes!

But I took the few months leading up to my session to turn the negative narrative in my head around. I started to think about my body in a more positive light and I stopped making excuses. I had to stop thinking about the girl I was 10 or 15 years ago and realize THIS is me! Who I am today is what is important, not the past. My husband still says I'm sexy and hot, and I need to realize that for myself. I wanted this boudoir session for ME! To help prove to myself I still have it no matter how much my body has changed, the lack of confidence, or how demanding my life may be.

Being an introvert, I was very nervous and anxious about a lot of things leading up to the shoot. All those self-doubts started to creep back in, but once I walked in and sat in the hair and makeup chair, those doubts quickly went away and I could feel my confidence build. The hair and makeup artist was wonderful! She answered my make-up and skin questions and made me feel so comfortable. I was nervous as this was the first time I had ever had professional make-up done, and was worried I wasn't really going to look like myself.

Professional Hair and Makeup is included with your boudoir session in Savannah with Shalista!

The person I saw in the mirror afterward was still me, just amped up a bit! Shalista, walked and talked me though every single pose and worked with my slight back mobility issue. Like a lot of the women I read about, I could feel my confidence grow and my shyness disappear as the time quickly past. Shalista incorporated everything I wanted during the shoot and I never once felt uncomfortable wearing next to nothing. She never made the time feel rushed and asked if I wanted anything more that we hadn't done yet.

After the shoot ended, I was amazed how quickly those 3-4 hours went. I was on such a high. It was such a mood and confidence booster! It was like nothing I had experienced before. Shalista worked with my previously stated request on seeing the images same-day. I couldn't believe my eyes when an hour later, I saw the most beautiful images of myself, no retouching, no "shape shifting" just ME!! Just me, who I am today and my body that tells a long story with every scar and bump. I looked at my body so differently.

I saw a story, my story! I saw a woman who had major back surgery, birthed a child, and someone who went though years of hardships and came out stronger. I finally saw a few of those "flaws" as strengths. I realized that, for once, just maybe my husband was right, I am sexy, I do still have it! I can stop doubting myself and just be me.

I would recommend this to experience everyone! It was one of the best spit second decisions I ever made. Don't let the doubts and insecurities in your head get in the way of what your heart is trying to tell you! Anyone can do this! Absolutely anyone! Any profession, any body type, any age, ANYONE! That was one the doubts I had going into this: "I am a mom, I can't do this; I am not young and 20 anymore; women in my profession don't do something like this!" But you know what? We are all human, we are all women, and we need to be celebrated more. So do something for you! Do something that is outside your box, you won't regret it!!!
