Boudoir by Paula

I heard a podcast years ago now, that said to help your self-confidence, keep the promises you make to yourself. That stopped me in my tracks. How many promises have I made to myself that I let slide cause it's only to myself? 😬

It talked about how even skipping the gym after you promised yourself to go would affect your self-confidence. Same with going to the gym as you promised yourself. And if you are wondering, it's amazing at how it works.

Doing the hard things when you promised yourself you would, think about the confidence you will find.
I know signing up for a bo***ir session when you don't feel very confident can be hard. But imagine that feeling after you did the thing that you promised yourself you would. 💜

Don't worry.
When you are ready, I'm here.

These images were taken a year and half apart.
Life is always happening and if you are waiting til the right time or the right weight or the right amount of money, it might never happen.
I get it. Society has done a number on us, but you are beautiful last year, this year and next year, even if you don't do anything different.

But when you are ready for a bo***ir session, I'm here. 💜

I know, I know it's May. You don't want to think about Christmas.
But think about this, schedule your session early. Pay off your session early. Images in time for your presents with no last minute panicking.

And all year round we have sessions available with no Christmas decorations in the background. So come on in!

Which one? Do you like B&W or color?

I attended a webinar the other day with one of my favorite Body Positive bo***ir photographers. She like normal kicked me into gear and reminded me to share with more diversity.
So I am going to be doing two model calls soon!

Be ready!
One for FOOD.
And another or CONTENT images.
These are sessions that require a full release of images so be prepared when you see that form.

Have you ever noticed that the more you are on social media the harder it is to feel creative?

Not everything helsp you feel inspired or creative. Maybe you might feel a moment of inspiration before you flip to another video or post and that moment is gone. I know when I am wanting to dive deeper into my photography and create new things, if I feel that moment, I have to stop. I have to write it down or send a message with a picture to describe what I'm looking for and start scheduling.

Being out of town and busy with family things make it super hard to plan and create with someone when you energy is down. So I am pushing myself this summer. If you have made it this far and want to create this summer with me!
Let's plan it.

Still obsessing over this set from our In person Facebook meetup! 😍It was such a perfect way to celebrate spring, May and sisterhood.🍄💐

Now to get to planning our next event because sometimes you have to get the Group Chat out of the Chat. 💜

It's hard.
It's hard to find the right words to say when my last year hasn't gone to plan. When the world is charging so much for gas and groceries. Clothes shopping is outrageous when you are trying to buy groceries.

So I get it when this pose trips across your feed and you feel like you can't do anything to support me and my business. Or you can't afford pictures right now.
But you can. Like the photos, comment, share them with a friend, If you are female, join the Women's Only Facebook group, talk about my business to someone else off social media, etc.
ps I also do payment plans -3, 6, 9, or 12. 😍

Let's just stop for a moment.
And think about being kids.

Those moments of playing outside, in the sun and the grass, just happy to feel the warmth on our skins. We forgot how to be ourselves.

Yes, bo***ir can help find yourself again.

It may seem strange, but letting yourself pose for pictures of yourself can end up being so freeing with the right person. I'm here when you are ready and there are always group sessions that are another option!

Water sessions are another one of my absolute favorites!

This is my normal PSA... choose wisely even if you don't choose me. The right one can help your self confidence, the wrong one can hurt it.

The weather is gorgeous today.
I am feeling less like scheduling posts and more like soaking up the sun. Ugh the joys of trying to run a business from home. 🥺
So I will stare at this photo and remember that it is not as cold as it could be at my computer.

Started my morning with a workout and a conversation about Sh***ri. Not a bad way to start a Monday morning.

So I knew I needed to post this photo from way too long ago, but I still desperately love. 😍😉
