Queen Dawnna-"Me, In A Different Light."

Hey there stunning Queens! From the moment the lovely Queen D walked in, I could tell she was ready to do something brave: to finally see herself the way everyone else already does! What I loved most was how open she was to the experience, even when things felt a little out of her comfort zone. We worked around her mobility limits, took things slow, and still captured some absolutely stunning shots that showed her strength and softness all at once. When she saw those first few images, her whole face lit up; it was like watching her truly see herself for the first time! That’s what I love about boudoir. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about realizing you already are<3

Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Quinn compare to your prior experience?

This was my first!

Why did you do your boudoir shoot?

I've always wanted to do one, to see myself in a different light!

What was your favourite part of the session?

During the shoot, Quinn was patient and kind. She understood my mobility limitations and helped me get into some poses.

What did doing this shoot do for your self-confidence, self-worth, and self-image? Tell me your story.

It showed me angles of myself that I hadn't seen. It helped me see myself in a different light and that I am beautiful. I've struggled with weight my whole life, and it's always been an issue for me. This shoot helps me realize that while I'm not society's norm, I can still be beautiful!

Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different?

I'm not 100% sure exactly what I was expecting. I try to do new things with an open mind and go in with zero expectations, so I can be surprised later!

What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything?

Quinn was amazing. She understood that there were parts of me that I was uncomfortable with, and while she pushed me out of my comfort zone just a little, she was patient, kind, and reassuring. If I could change anything, it would be my hesitation and shyness, so that I could have gone for some more of the risky poses.
