a letter from a client to the people who say "oh I'll book one day" | victoria bc boudoir photography

One of our beautiful client’s (who is now one of our sweet darling brand ambassador’s) shared this post in our Facebook Community – and I immediately asked if I could share it on the blog, as it was just such a beautiful insight into the client perspective. I hope ya’ll enjoy! (and join us in the group - it’s pretty awesome there).

I wanted to share a little bit about my experience and my reason for booking my session. (I get a little esoteric with it but if that’s not your vibe, totally cool).

For those who are curious or also into goddess devotional practices, Friday is also known as Lady FREYJA’S day. In Norse Mythology, She is a goddess most closely related to unapologetic self love, sexual agency, and death (she also has a chariot of 2 cats which I think is pretty darn cool). I was reflecting on what this day means to me (since Friday the 13th is a significant day in the devotional practices related to her), and I was reflecting on my boudoir session back in January.

I had been looking at photos from Misty Moss’ Instagram and kept telling myself “oh I’ll book one day” until the day I had a fight with my ex. I think it was over him trying to police my body so naturally my gut told me “he can go eff himself I’m gonna go book”. So off I go to book my session. I had a wonderful consultation with Molly, who was so lovely to talk to and got me HYPED for my session….which ended up being like 10 months later due to a traumatic break up, moving, a job loss, and general nonsense.

SO FINALLY, the day of my session rolls around. Y’all I was stressed, I was convinced I was not gonna look like everyone else, and my pain points (a term I learned from the My Aligned Purpose episode with Molly) were LOUD AND HAVING A FIELD DAY.

So day of, I followed the instructions, and rolled up to my session nervous as heck and not knowing what to expect.

As soon as I met Molly in person and the session started, I felt instantly comfortable, and all the anxiety I had melted away. Alison gave me the most AMAZING makeup look (I was worried that maybe the foundation wouldn’t match my skin tone, but she knows what she’s doing, KILLED IT, and I looked amazing) , and we started shooting! The whole time I felt so safe and comfortable, and got to live my model fantasy.

The reason for me writing you a novel today is to share a little bit of myself love journey, my experience shooting with Molly, and also just a little about myself on the chance someone in this group can relate a little!

I started practicing goddess devotion in September/October as a way to begin to heal and rebuild from an abusive relationship, and I truly feel that lady Freyja helped guide me to this experience which helped set me on the right course, learn about body neutrality, given me the gift of being a brand ambassador, and introduced me to this amazing community of iconic humans.
