One of the biggest things many of us, especially women, don’t talk about is getting out of abusive relationships. Sometimes we barely survive. Sometimes we come out alive but have nothing of ourselves left. Ms. C’s boudoir session was just the thing she needed to show off her survival of that bad relationship. And to then also share her story with other women who need it.

Tell us your story, a little bit about you and why you decided to do a boudoir session? Is your story what made you decide to do this for yourself?

I’m a single mom of 2 that recently escaped an abusive relationship with barely my life. This experience, for me, was crucial in rebuilding my self esteem, my self confidence, and my self worth. My survival is what made me decide to do this shoot, and I did this shoot strictly for myself.

What did this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Did you discover anything about yourself that you didn’t know was there or that you forgot was there? How has your boudoir experience affected you or changed you? Tell me your story.

This has been an amazing experience. I am grateful to have had today to enjoy this. Today has helped me realize that I deserve everything that I want, and I am the beautiful woman I feel I am inside. This experience has helped me come to the conclusion that I will no longer ask permission to do the things that I need to do for myself.
