{ Averie - Beauty & Boudoir Session / Interview } Columbia, MO Boudoir Photographer
Q: Tell us a little about yourself!
A: My name is Averie! I’m 30 and work retail which I don’t recommend for anyone trying to save money! I have 2 kids, 3 & 7, which means I wear active wear or sweats all day everyday. I rarely brush my hair, let alone put on makeup or shower.
Q: What makes you feel beautiful and feminine?
A: What makes me feel beautiful or feminine is when I do make it to
the shower and am able to fix my hair and put on some makeup, especially
after feeling frumpy in my sweats. It seems really simple but
sometimes its so exhausting just to manage the shower part. But it
makes a huge difference in my attitude, day, and my interactions during
the day.
Q: What were your thoughts before booking a Beauty & Boudoir session with Billie?
A: When I initially set up the session, I was super excited to be
able to put on sexy clothes, have my hair and makeup done. I wondered
how long I could let my hair go without having to wash so I could stay
in my “beautiful and sexy” mindset haha…turned out only one day. But
the expirerence stuck with me and I felt beautiful long after the shoot
was over and hair was washed.
Q: How did you feel at your in-person reveal/ordering session
when you saw your photographs for the very first time? What did you
decide to order?
A: I was anticipating the photos immediately after
the shoot, and I was borderline stalker texting Billie anxious for a
sneek peeks. Once she posted one, I was so surprised that I could look
like that, it had been so long since I looked as beautiful as I felt.
Of course I blew her messages up even more. During my reveal I was so
please with the pictures that I wanted them all, which as women we are
so critical of ourselves and our body images that we rarely embrace how
beautiful we are. There was one picture in particular that I loved and
it was one I was smiling in. In the beginning I had specifically said
“I’m not smiling, I hate my teeth.” To see myself smiling showing my
“hated teeth” and in lingerie I haven’t wore since I had kids was the
biggest self confidence boost I’ve had in a long time. I was ecstatic
and told her I wanted to set up payments plans for disc with my pictures
on it. The payments work for me since I’m a mom and limited on extra
cash and I wanted them on a disc because I wanted to be able to decide
when and how I would use the pictures.
Q: What was your favorite part about the whole experience?
A: My favorite part of the whole experience was the end result and
seeing a side of myself that I haven’t seen in years. It made me feel
amazing. Not to mention I was so comfortable with Billie and Marisa
during the shoot, we were so at ease with each other like maybe we had
been friends for years.
Q: Would you be interested in doing another session with Billie?
A: I would definitely consider doing more sessions with Billie and Marisa. Loved working with both of those amazing ladies.
Q: What do you say to anyone thinking about booking a session?
A: If your thinking about it, do it. There is some part of you that
can muster confidence to think you want to so you need to act on it.
You know you’re beautiful and sometimes it takes a picture to prove it.
I know seeing my pictures made me feel like a beautiful bad-ass mom.
Who cares if you have a thigh gap or if its chub-rub, who cares if your
barely and “A” cup or double “HH”. Rock those big butts, tiny boobs,
and take something from it, like a dose of “I can do this, and I’m going
to look banging!”
Be bold. Be sexy. Be beautiful.
