Before my session in Boudoir, I thought I was like, a generous 3/10 in life.

I was too big.
Too old.
Too out of shape, etc.

I would sit on the sidelines of this group, watching ladies support other ladies. I would look at their results and think, "no way could I ever do that!"
When Ashton was thinking of moving studios, I sent her a message, not really thinking until after I paid the first two installments. This time, all the negative thoughts were louder.

This isn't for people like me.
I don't even own lingerie.
I don't wear makeup.

I remember only telling my best friend what I was doing. My significant other didn't even know until the night before and he thought I was crazy! The night before my session, I officially checked out and was regretting my decision.
After my session, I remember feeling nervous and a little relieved that it was over. I was on my way to church the next day, when my friend told me to check the group. Ashton had posted a preview of my session, and, oh my God y'all, I was shocked. Ashton had taken little ol' me and turned me into a freaking Goddess. I felt so empowered! I had confidence, I walked a little taller. I felt myself grow in ways I didn't think we're possible. And everyone who reacted to that post or commented, made me so thankful I went through it instead of letting my negative thoughts win.

Do I recommend boudoir? Hell yes!
Is boudoir for everyone? Absolutely! (18+)
Would I have another session? I already have, and I definitely plan on many more!
Seriously ladies, I cannot express to you enough how thankful I am to have been invited to this group, and how amazing I felt after looking at my pictures and the products I purchased. I HIGHLY recommend doing a boudoir session for YOU and for you alone. At least at first lol. It's built up so much self esteem and confidence in myself, and when I look back, I'm reminded of how far I've come.
Trust the process. And trust your photographer (especially if it's Ashton!)

My before and after, y’all!

I decided to do a session with Ashton because I’ve seen how empowered she makes her clients feel. I always wanted to do a boudoir shoot but was too scared to do it because I always wanted to “lose some weight first.”

Seeing Ashton help women of all shapes and sizes see their own beauty and power is what finally made me decide to try to love the body I’m in NOW. This is the body that gets me through each day. I’m so glad I did it!

Initially I didn’t wanna do it because I don’t view myself as attractive or sexy and I didn’t feel like I could possibly make these photos look good. I was extremely nervous along with excited to book my shoot!

If you’re even CONSIDERING doing a boudoir shoot, go for it! Ashton made me feel so comfortable during the session and once I saw those pics, I couldn’t believe they were me! I saw beauty in myself and my body for the first time in so very long.

Don’t wait y’all, get in the studio with Ashton and you’ll learn that every body is a #moonbowbody! You’ll never regret going for it!

Story Time loves:

I had my first shoot with Ashton this spring. I had always wanted to do a shoot and, honestly, just booked on a whim. With her Afterpay option, it just made sense.

My biggest fear was that I wasn’t pretty enough. Wasn’t feminine enough. That it would be OBVIOUS that I’m trans. That fear only intensified when three days before my shoot, we had a tornado and I lost power.

The day of my shoot, still no power. Notice the towel on the pic? That’s because I couldn’t blow dry my hair. Couldn’t straighten it. I can’t tell you how many times I almost postponed out of fear alone.

But Ashton was sooo accommodating and validating. She made me feel comfortable in my body and gave me clothing recommendations that would work best.

And this confidence, honestly, lasted after the shoot ended. I felt hot! I am hot! Ash helped me see that.. and I plan on another shoot(s) in the future to show off lol.

If you have been debating getting a shoot done, just do it. We all deserve to show off how hot we are

A lil before and after for y'all plus a bit of testimony for those that are riding the fence

I could say so much about why you should book your boudoir session with Ashton. But I'll start by asking a few questions. Have you ever questioned your own beauty? Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered where the "old you" went? Have you ever questioned your value or worth? Have you ever just needed a way to escape reality just for a little bit and do something that reminds you of the badass you are and always have been? Do you need to be reminded that no matter your size you are beautiful, desirable, and sexy? If you answered yes to any of those questions and have been on the fence about booking...get off the fence now!

I booked my session after a very long and toxic relationship for me. I had lost sight of who I was before I became a mother, and who I wanted to be. I woke up dreading getting ready for work because I hated to see my own reflection. Without knowing, over the course of 8-10 years I gave away the most important part of myself ... My own self worth. I didn't feel beautiful anymore, I definitely didn't feel desired, and I just needed to remember. My first session gave me that reminder and so much more. I have never....NEVER seen myself the way Ashton captured me. I haven't looked back since that day. Even during my hardest times, I can look at my albums and remember exactly who the hell I am.

Just like some of you, I was nervous to book too. I was even more nervous the day of my session because of my own insecurities. Let's face it, we all sometimes think beauty is supposed to look a certain way. I just assumed that a girl my size, with my flaws needed to "work on myself more" before I booked. Get that out of your head! Ashton has the best way of capturing your core...your beauty...your strength...and your badass woman mentality during your session.

Words of advice...embrace your nerves, but don't run from them! Walk in knowing that the experience you are giving yourself is going to give you so much in return. I walked out of my first mini feeling like I was on top of the world y'all. It was such a high that I immediately started thinking about how I could get in the studio again. It truly has become my therapy.

Not only does Ashton make your experience fun, she keeps you comfortable, she makes you laugh, and she will guide you through every moment of your session.

I'm telling ya, whether you book just to get back to YOU and give yourself the reminder you need that you are beautiful, or if you simply just want the experience because you have already found your inner goddess...now is the time to jump off the fence. Her payment plans are phenomenal and she is probably one of the most understanding people I've ever worked with. Trust me...you NEED to book the session! You NEED to see your own #moonbowbody

 Stay slaying, ladies!

WHY BOUDOIR?
I went through a big self doubt moment in my life. I hated my body, I wanted a change. What I didn’t realize was change wasn’t going to help on the outside. I needed to change my mindset first. I made it a point to work on my own self love, self acceptance and empowerment and It’s my mission to help others do the same.

I have met countless people who also struggle with self love and self worth, and boudoir has been that one thing I can do to help them see themselves truly for the first time. It isn’t always about being sexy. It’s a vulnerable feeling walking into the studio and not knowing exactly what’s going to happen. So, I make it as easy as possible for you. You’ll get a prep guide that goes over everything you’ll need to know before, during and after your session with me. When you arrive, my hope is that some of the nerves have subsided by now, although, being a little nervous is completely normal!

WHO IS IT FOR?
Just for women? Not at all! Although cis women are my main clients, I also offer sessions to anyone who wants to feel beautiful in their own skin. Trans and non-binary people usually don’t get the privilege, especially early in their transition, to see themselves as beautiful. I give them the space to show up as their true self and explore their gender and self-expression. If a trans or non-binary person isn’t able to “pass” they are often told they aren’t really their gender. Regardless of where they are in their transition, including those that don’t opt to transition medically, I want them to have a space where they are free of judgement and able to just be themselves. To have those portraits to look back on when dysphoria tells them they aren’t good enough and have a reminder of how amazing they are.

Is there an age requirement?
you are required to be at least 18 and out of high school to book a session. Due to the nature of the shoot, I will not do a session for anyone under the age of 18, even with signed consent.

I have some things that I just don't like about my body - is there anything you can do?
No one has a "perfect" body. Even celebrities have flaws. With lighting, professional posing and a little retouching we can maximize your strong points and minimize the areas you wish to hide. I’m a firm believer that every single body is a boudie body!

How revealing do I have to be?
You decide! Some prefer to bare all; others like to be a little more covered. Sexy isn't always about how much you show, it's about your attitude and your confidence. I will not push you further than you feel comfortable with. During our consultation we will get the details on what style of boudoir you would like to achieve.

Do you provide the outfits or is that something I should bring?
Outfits are no longer included in my sessions as I no longer have my own studio location. I do offer wardrobe consults and will help you find your perfect outfits!  

How do I prepare for my session?
Please consider the following: Hair touch-ups, waxing, eyebrow shaping, & mani and pedi. Wear loose fitting clothing on the day of your session so that you do not have jean lines or sock lines on your skin. I also recommend no bra or underwear if you can! those leave lines as well! If you are getting hair and makeup done, be sure to have a clean moisturized face and dry hair.

Are my portraits kept private?
Any images shown on my site or on marketing material are used with the client's permission only. On your session date you will be given a questionnaire. You can share images you approve or keep them all private. Privacy of my clients is my top priority.
