Mrs. J’s Boudoir Experience

- What made you choose Karla Mason Boudoir?
I am a big believer in signs. I have always in the back of my mind thought a boudoir shoot would be fun and liberating, but I never really thought I had the courage…I always thought “maybe one day…”Nor did I think someone with my body type could do one…I’ve always been bigger – I grew up in the society where I was taught to hide my stomach and my hips as much as possible and wear loose clothing. I was always curious what it might be like to be a bigger girl in a sexy boudoir shoot in lingerie and not in sweatpants and an oversized sweatshirt. Fast forward to a few months ago, I saw a post in a Facebook group and there was a raffle for a special session offer…I took this as a sign and thought that since I was seeing that post, I might as well register for the raffle. If I ended up winning, great, it was a sign I was supposed to do it. If I didn’t – ok, it’s not meant to be. But at least I was giving myself the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and do something that I had always thought would be fun, but was a little bit too apprehensive. I ended up winning – I was nervous, but once I had my intro call with Karla, I felt so excited. - What were you nervous about going into your session?
Ummm EVERYTHING!! Haha. I was definitely nervous about my body being visible and dressed in something other than sweatpants…was I going to look attractive and sexy?? And also….like 97% of the pictures I have of myself are from the shoulders up or I’m standing behind something to hide my body.
The word sexy has never been something I have EVER used to describe how I feel I look…But that’s also part of the reason I wanted to do something like this. I wanted an opportunity to see my body in a different way than I have ever viewed it or I have felt society has ever viewed it. I wanted an opportunity to feel sexy… A way I have never felt in my life. So I was very nervous about seeing how my body and face would look under very different circumstances than normal. - What was your favorite part of the experience?
My favorite part was facing my fears and getting out of my comfort zone. Nothing changes if nothing changes. The entire experience was just so incredible. Starting with the wonderful hair and make up team…they were so kind and helped ease some nervousness. After the first couple of pictures and coaching from Karla, the I really got into it. Honestly, now that I think about it…I think my favorite part of it was the relief I felt of not caring how I thought I looked in the lingerie or how I thought I looked in a certain pose or wondering if my stomach and booty were hidden or can you see my rolls? I didn’t think about those things during the shoot. It was such an amazing feeling to feel beautiful and sexy and confident. I trusted Karla to make me feel beautiful and to put me in the right poses and situations that were best for my body. And she did exactly that. - How do you feel now that you’ve completed the session?
Now that the session is over and I’ve seen my photos, I literally cannot stop smiling. Never in my life have I ever thought that my body could look or feel like that. What I see in myself when I look at my photos is confidence, somebody who is comfortable in her skin, somebody who feels beautiful and sexy…unstoppable. All things that I have personally struggled with my entire life… It feels really incredible to look at these pictures and see my imperfections can be beautiful. - Would you recommend Karla Mason Boudoir to others?
I highly recommend and have recommended Karla Mason. Your professionalism, your welcoming smile and personality, friendly demeanor, your excitement, your incredible makeup and hair team, and your overall vision are all just incredible. Karla, you truly are a genuine human who just wants everyone to feel beautiful. You helped make this experience a low stress event, and you have helped me see myself in a way that I have never been able to see myself in my 42 years on this planet. You have helped me in more ways than I can even express. I cannot thank you enough
