JONILEE'S BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE
Jonilee (55, Housewife, Mother of a daughter) rocks! I loooved working with her from start to finish!
This is about her experience working with me.
PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE WITH DIANA
From the first telephone conversation to leaving the studio, Diana made me feel comfortable. She was so encouraging during the shoot, continuously verbalizing that the pictures were looking great and I was doing exactly what was needed for the outcome I wanted. I never felt inhibited or pushed beyond my boundaries. She remembered my "trouble areas" and always camouflaged them. The Professional Hair/Make-up Artist was kind and personable. I left feeling like I made two new friends.
It was more fun than I thought it would be!! The chemistry between Diana and her subject makes the session flow easily and comfortably. She was so open to my ideas and creativity, was willing to try new things and kept the energy high!
PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF
My name is Jonilee. I am 55 years old, been married 37 years and have a 27 year old daughter. I am a housewife and as much as I like to dress up, I don't get many opportunities to do so. I have gained a lot of weight in those 37 years!! My self-esteem and image was at a low point. Even though husband loves me more than ever and friends say I'm still "rockin" it. The photo session with Diana has pushed out all negative self-talk! I can't believe that's me!! The photos are erotic, beautiful and classy... because I am!!

WHAT OUTFITS DID YOU BRING?
Bra and Panty sets from Lane Bryant, The Perky Peacock (New Braunfels) and Torrid, Corset and skirt from Moresca, Black Lace Swimsuit Cover-up, Floor Length White Button Down Cover-up from Walmart, Stilleto Boots and Shoes from Ross, Black Sheer Scarf from Ross, Fishnet Stockings from Torrid, Huge Sun Hat from Fancy Goat Boutique (Fredericksburg)
ARE YOU A MODEL?
Oh, no way!!! Other than Sears or Olan Mills family Christmas pictures, I've never had photos taken of me!
WHO DID YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP?
Martha did my hair and make-up. She listened to EXACTLY what I wanted and delivered!! She understood what I was saying and made it happen!
WERE YOU NERVOUS BEFORE THE PHOTO SESSION?
I was terribly, off the charts nervous!!! I was nervous about my rolls, creases and wrinkles!! It is very smart to have hair/make-up done in the studio beforehand. Do not skip this!! This is where three ladies talk, visit, get to know each other, pick a Playlist and relax! The further into the session we got, the relaxed and comfortable I became.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHERS?
Bring more outfits and props than you think you need. Diana is great at helping weed things out. Tell her specific, creative ideas you are thinking about-she'll try anything and loves new things she hasn't done before. You will be exhausted toward the end!! Keep going!! Don't be afraid to look at yourself on her laptop. You will be amazed at how beautiful you are!!
WHAT WAS YOUR REASON FOR BOOKING A BOUDOIR SESSION WITH DIANA?
I have wanted to do this for 10 or 15 years. Just decided there is no time like now!! I'm not getting any younger!
WAS THE ‘YOU BY DIANA’ SESSION GUIDE HELPFUL?
Session Guide was very helpful!! Can't think of anything I would change.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE SESSION?
When I was shocked that the woman on the computer screen was me!! And Diana responded with a very casual..."these are not edited. This is how you look..." Almost as if to say, "Well, you goofy woman, you ARE pretty! What's wrong with you?" Lol
