{ 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.

{ Kimberli - Beauty & Boudoir Session / Interview } Columbia, MO Boudoir Photographer

Q: Tell us a little about yourself!
A: My name is Kimberli! I am a 33 years young. I work at Millers Professional Imaging, a professional photography lab that Billie also prints through, where I get the pleasure of seeing some amazingly talented photographers work come through our lab on a daily basis.

Q: What makes you feel beautiful and feminine?
A: This is a tough
one…sometimes it is getting all dolled up and putting on a fancy dress
but other times I feel really beautiful in my softball gear covered in
sweat and dirt with bruises and cuts. I think our bodies doing amazing
things is what makes us beautiful and getting all glamorous makes me
feel feminine.

Q: What were your thoughts before booking a Beauty & Boudoir session with Billie?
A:
I had lost a ton of weight (over a 100 pounds) about 2 years ago and
really wanted to do a boudoir session once I reached my “goal weight”
which I was 10 pounds shy of. I never reached that goal as my mother and
aunt were both diagnosed with breast cancer and I found less time for
the intense exercise schedule and strict eating habits as I always have
turned to food when stressed. I thought to myself why not still do it?? I
am just as beautiful now and how silly it was to have made that deal
with myself as life is too short and we should celebrate our beautiful
female bodies no matter what size. So I decided to book the session with
Billie and celebrate my body the way it was.

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 sort of nervous to see the photos…I had
seen the few that she had posted online prior to the reveal and they
were amazing and I was afraid that they were the “good ones” and the
others I may not have looked as good…I was so wrong!!!!! They were
amazing!!!! I was so happy!!!! I remember being super nervous about the
bum shots as I think my bum is not so good and seeing those and
thinking… “not bad girl!!!” I loved all the images so I decided to buy
the digital files…I show everyone with pride! What was your favorite part about the whole experience? I wish I could
say all of it…I would have to say the photo shoot it self…just hanging
with Billie and Marisa was such a pleasure. They made me feel so special
and beautiful!

Q: What do you say to anyone thinking about booking a session?
A: I know people are sometimes hesitant about scheduling with Billie
due to the cost…just remember you get what you pay for. Billie is worth
every penny and Marisa will make you look like a queen. This is a
treasure!!!

Q: Would you be interested in doing another session with Billie?
A: Absolutely!!! I have a new hair cut to show off!

Be bold.  Be sexy.  Be beautiful.

A: I felt beautiful, something I never really would call myself. And
they complimented and made me feel so comfortable. It was amazing.

was so perfect. Getting my make up and hair done, choosing outfits,
laughing the entire time. It was all so positive I can’t even choose!
