I’ll be honest—booking a boudoir session terrified me. I spent weeks going back and forth, wondering if I was making a mistake. Was I even worthy of this? Would I look ridiculous? Was I enough?


The day of my pre-session fitting, I was still hesitant, but something shifted when I met Maddie. She welcomed me with open arms, her energy so warm and reassuring. As we picked out my outfits, I started to feel a little spark of excitement. Seeing the carefully curated pieces laid out made the session feel real in the best way possible.


Fast forward to the morning of my session, and that nervous energy came flooding back. I was crying before I even arrived, completely overwhelmed with self-doubt. But the moment I stepped into Maddie’s studio, everything changed. Her presence was grounding, her confidence in me unwavering. She made me feel safe, seen, and—most importantly—worthy.


With every click of the camera, I could feel my insecurities fading. Maddie guided me through each pose with such ease and encouragement, and before I knew it, I was laughing, moving, and embracing the moment fully. She even showed me the back of her camera during the session, and seeing those raw, unedited images gave me an instant boost of confidence. What I thought would be a nerve-wracking experience turned into something empowering, fun, and unforgettable.


Seeing the final images brought me to tears—but this time, they were happy tears. I didn’t just look beautiful; I felt beautiful. These made the perfect wedding gift for my fiancé and gave me confidence before my big day. The experience gave me a new appreciation for myself, for my body, for my strength.

To anyone on the fence about booking a boudoir session—do it. Don’t wait until you feel “ready” or until you think you’ve reached some unrealistic version of perfection. You are already enough. You are already worthy. And if you need a reminder, Maddie will make sure you see it, too.
