“I literally had so much fun that day Billie! Your studio is so amazing,
you are so professional, kind and you really kept me at ease. I can’t
thank you enough for what you did for me!
” - Morgan

Why did you choose to do a session? What were you most excited about?

I chose to do a session as a surprise to my husband but more as a reminder to myself that I was still a woman since I had just given birth 7 months prior. I had kind of lost who I was, a little.
I think I was the most excited about how my husband would feel when he saw the pictures. Like, holy hell, that’s MY WIFE!!! I was excited to see his face.


What were your thoughts before booking the Boudoir by Billie Experience?

I must have thought of a MILLION REASONS to cancel my appointment. I thought I was too big, I didn’t have the time to justify something like this. I thought of how I just hadn’t felt sexy in a long time. But as the day drew closer I got a little more excited and ready. I needed to shake things up a bit!


How did you feel when you saw your photographs for the very first time?

The first time I saw the pictures my stomach did butterflies!! All the stress and worry was gone. I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. Like, wow! There I was! All the menial things I was worried about were gone!! I was SMOKING HOT!! And I was IN LOVE! The pictures were so tasteful & artsy. I felt so classy still with the bad girl feel. I was so THRILLED.


What was your favorite part about the whole experience?

My favorite part was probably the reveal! Or seeing my husband’s face when he saw the pictures!!! Like WOW!!!!! It’s nerve wracking to be the only one pretty much naked in a room of other women (2) but after seeing what Billie and Marisa had done I was so excited. From the music Billie played during my reveal to getting my book & order (which Billie personally drove to my home!!!) I can’t even explain how moved I was when I saw my reveal!!!


What do you say to anyone thinking about booking a session?

To anyone thinking about booking….I say DO IT!! The sense of empowerment is something that can’t be compared. You walk away feeling like the badass woman you are. Long after the curls were gone & the makeup off I was still so inspired but what I saw. And I remembered that I was a woman first. I know it’s scary and you can think of a million reasons why not to do it but I CAN give you a million reasons to do it. Even if you don’t buy the packages, do it. I promise. You will be so inspired and empowered. I can’t say it enough!!! JUST DO IT!


Did a boudoir session with Billie change the way you see yourself?

My session definitely brought me to a new light about myself. I have children and have fluctuated in weight but I saw myself in a whole new way!! That stretch mark? I earned that and I rock the hell out of it!!! Those freckles on my shoulders? Those are incredible!! I love them. I remembered so many things I’ve always loved about my body and brought them to the forefront again. My husband said he got his wife back. It definitely made me more confident and sure of myself again!! I can’t say it enough!! And I’ll yell it from the rooftops!!! THANK YOU BILLIE!!!!!

Tell us about yourself!


A little about me: I’m a goofy, smart and caring person. I’m obsessed with cats and coffee! I’m a radiation therapist so I work with people overcoming challenges of skin cancer. I’m just a big kid at hear.

Why did you choose to do a session? What were you most excited about?

I chose to do a session because I was tired of not doing enough for myself. I’m a super caring person and sometimes I forget to take care of myself. I figured why not take a chance? Why not go out of my comfort zone and try something new? I was most excited about seeing myself in a new light, about gaining new self love and discovery. I knew this experience could not only change the way I look at myself, but the way I felt inside too.



What were your thoughts before booking the Boudoir by Billie Experience?

Before booking the experience I struggled with my self image. I didn’t know if I wanted to see photographs of myself. I knew it was out of my comfort zone, but I knew I needed to push myself. My anxiety kept telling me “You can’t do this, it’s not you. You aren’t pretty or skinny enough”. I ignored the voice in my head and pushed the book button without hesitation. Let me tell you I’m so glad I did.



How did you feel when you saw your photographs for the very first time?


When I saw my photographs for the first time my jaw literally dropped to the ground! I was hesitant to look at them in the beginning. As the slideshow started I couldn’t take my eyes off of it, off of me. It made me feel beautiful in more ways than I could have imagined. It touched my soul.



 What was your favorite part about the whole experience?


My favorite part of the whole experience was feeling so comfortable! Billie was amazing! She made me feel like we had known each other for years! I felt like I could be myself and that helped me shine.



What do you say to anyone thinking about booking a session?


To anyone thinking about booking a boudoir experience with Billie: What do you have to lose? If we never tried new experiences or went on new and exciting adventures, have we even lived our lives to the fullest? I struggle with anxiety and depression & I was tired of it controlling me. This was one way I could express myself and get out of my shell. I recommend this for anyone who wants to find themselves again, who wants to feel beautiful, or who just wants a new adventure. Looking for a time to book for my next session!


Did a boudoir session with Billie change the way you see yourself?

A boudoir session with Billie completely changed the way I look at myself. After my body image changed over time, I grew a stranger to it. I refused to love myself because I looked different than before. I was heavier, I had stretch marks, I had lost self-confidence. I needed something to lift my spirits and to show me how beautiful I am inside and out. My album is my baby. I look at it all the time, especially on a really bad day. I now know I am beautiful and I learned to love myself again.

Q: Why did you choose to do a session? What were you most excited about?

A: After seeing a mutual friend on Facebook post about Billie's page, I saw an event for her open house in her NEW Ashland Studio. I recruited one of my girlfriends to come with me. We were the very first ones in line; eager to get a goody bag and see the studio.


Q: What were your thoughts before booking the Boudoir by Billie Experience?

A: I was hesitant to book at first, more nervous than anything, but I couldn't pass up the VIP booking for attending the open house and ended up booking that night after more than a few wonderful ladies there convinced me it was more than worth it! I also booked it a few months in advance to save up some money and round
up something to wear.

Q: How did you feel when you saw your photographs for the very first time?

A: When I went to my reveal and saw my photos for the first time, I got goosebumps that lasted forever. I had the hardest time trying to narrow it down to what I wanted to order, so I added a few bonus pages for my album, and ended up just purchasing the app with ALL my pictures
so I could look at them anytime I needed the confidence boost.

Q: What was your favorite part about the whole experience?

A: My favorite part about the whole experience was the reveal. Billie put together a video with all the pics and my favorite song and we just sat back and watched it - not gonna lie I got butterflies and teary eyed.

Q: What do you say to anyone thinking about booking a session?

A: All I have to say to those of you thinking about booking is; "Treat yourself!" It's one of the most exhilarating experiences and I think everyone should do it at least once in their life. (Also, some advice for the budget conscious babes like myself, apply for a credit card that gives you a bonus if you spend x amount of dollars in the first 3 months to help you pay AND most don't incur interest for at least the 1st 12 months.)

Q: Did a boudoir session with Billie change the way you see yourself?

A: My session with Billie definitely helped me understand and see that I AM beautiful. Stretch marks, scars, rolls & all. It honestly did wonders with my own self confidence and even within my relationship as well.
