client experience – from a gender affirming boudoir session
Throughout my life masquerading as a woman, my sensuality and sexuality have always been tied with the feminine. As I have navigated my personal journey discovering my gender, I didn't know how the different parts of me could be connected to how I express myself. Having done a shoot with Molly before, I knew I wanted to do another one as I was finding myself, even though I didn't (and still don't) have a full understanding who that is yet.
My biggest focus was that I wanted to bring in the different parts of my gender, without completely erasing my femininity. I am not androgynous, I am not masc, I am non-binary.
I didn't have the words or context to fully communicate how I was feeling but I knew I needed to get it out there.
Molly was more than understanding of the essence I wanted to capture and worked with me through what this would look like.
Regardless of anyone else's interpretation, I see my truest self in all the photos captured.
I saw my sexuality and sensuality expressed based on my energy and not on gender stereotypes. This is why I am confident that no matter how you identify or where you are in your journey - having a shoot with Molly will be extremely comfortable and validating. At every phase: consulting before, outfit choices, having a hair/makeup team that can also guide you through how you want to express yourself (shout out to Alison!), taking the photos, photo selection- I felt comfortable and heard. If I had a concern, it was heard. There were proactive steps to make sure my essence was captured without me prompting.
