MARY'S BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE
I loved working with Mary V (37, Solar Industry, Mom of two kids). This is about her experience with me.
PLEASE DESCRIBE YOUR BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE WITH DIANA
I had a wonderful time working with Diana for the photo shoot! It was such a creative and validating experience. I felt super natural and at ease the whole time. She is so easy to hang out with and easy going, and then when she’s shooting photos, she is excited & enthusiastic at a level that made me feel confident about sitting as a model.
Diana is an amazing person to work with because she is super professional and methodical with many years of experience in the fashion industry. But she now brings that expertise to normal women to show their inherent beauty. Getting to be Diana’s artistic muse is a gift and a blessing.
Diana’s direction and me just being myself seemed to create magic behind the lens. She was so excited about what she was seeing so I felt I was on the right track. And the end result shows why! The photos are so gorgeous, artful and magical.
During the session I got in tune with my internal vixen, and I felt like I could express myself in a way I hadn’t been able to before. The creative expression I experienced was freeing.
PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF
My name is Mary and I work in the solar industry. I am 37, a mom of 2 and I live with my family and all of our pets. My kids and I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 bunnies, 2 chickens and a lizard! I like to sail & play music for fun.
“I wanted to be the center of attention and be celebrated. I wanted to see myself as beautiful.”
WHAT OUTFITS DID YOU BRING?
I brought a hat that I got at a vintage pop up shop. I brought some undies.
ARE YOU A MODEL?
I had not sat as a model before, except for the local photographer that took portraits of the people in town as a project. Sitting with Diana made me realize that I could be a model, that part of me wanted to be a model, I was having so much fun! A few hours later, I knew I didn’t want to pursue it professionally, but I loved having the opportunity to experience it.
WHO DID YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP?
I did my own hair and makeup. Basic styling that I normally do, just hair down and messy, simple makeup with a slightly darker lip. I was thinking about getting a haircut before this shoot but I ended up not needing it. I was pleased with the result.
WERE YOU NERVOUS BEFORE THE PHOTO SESSION?
I wasn’t really nervous but I loosened up as the photo shoot proceeded.
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHERS?
Just be yourself, trust the process, let your sexuality be expressed.
WHAT WAS YOUR REASON FOR BOOKING A BOUDOIR SESSION WITH DIANA?
I wanted to see what would happen. I wanted to get creative in that setting. I wanted to be the center of attention and be celebrated. I wanted to see myself as beautiful.
WAS THE YOU BY DIANA SESSION GUIDE HELPFUL?
It was helpful and professional.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE SESSION?
The part with the hat, and the shower. Also when Diana says Nice!
