⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This just arrived in my inbox and it embodies all the reasons I love being a bo***ir photographer so much!!! (And it's a great outline of what a day with me looks like in studio!)
Client Testimonial
"Let me start by saying, I have always considered myself confident, intelligent, creative, mostly happy and on some days, attractive. So why on earth would I need a bo***ir photo session?
Honestly? For two reasons: I decided I wanted to preserve this time of my life, and because menopause has hit me hit hard, I wanted to do something sexy for my husband. Excited about my decision, I did some searching and found Georgian Bay Bo***ir.
As the day of the session got closer, the anxiety built. I’m prone to that and I’m proud that I’ve not let it stop me from doing things.
Yet, by the morning of my session, I was pretty much convinced I had made a huge, expensive mistake. So I walked in and declared I wasn't sure I wanted to be there.
Meg nodded like she understood and told me that at least I had made it in the door as she’d known others who had puked in the driveway. Right then, oddly yet somehow, instinctively, I knew I was in good hands and I relaxed a bit. But just a bit.
Meg owns the house where each of the main floor rooms are designed as a different set. After a quick tour, where we selected which sets I wanted to focus on, and I was up in the makeup chair with sparkling wine in my hand.
Yes, it was 8:30 in the morning but in for a penny, in for a pound, right?.
Jen went over the photos I had sent her, and we picked a combination that worked with my outfits. While I sat in chair, Jen talked about makeup, the application and removal of it.
Her knowledge boosted my confidence that I wouldn't look like a clown (big fear!). I relaxed even more and Meg kept busy checking sets and organizing my outfits, getting in the zone.
I suppose it’s cliché, but the makeup reveal almost made me ruin Jen's work with my tears, I was floored by the transformation! I’m not sure how to say it, but the girl in the mirror, was the girl I always wanted to be.
Immediately I felt taller and more present, and with that, Meg showed me the straightforward ways she poses her subjects, and then I too, entered the zone.
For sure, I was still plenty nervous. Afterall, I know what I look like in pictures (don’t we all??). After the first pose though, Meg showed me what she had captured, and it turns out, I know nothing about how I look in pictures.
WOW Holy Sh*t!!- That was me?!?! I looked as gorgeous as my husband has always told me I was. My nervousness instantly disappeared, and I was hooked. I wanted more!
The rest of the time flew by. Even though I was in various stages of nakedness throughout the session, I didn’t even notice, or if I did, I didn’t care. We chatted as she helped me into my outfits, she asked permission to touch before she rearranged clothing and hair; and everything was a collaboration.
When we were done, I was indeed sore – posing really does take effort! (I had heard that somewhere, so I had scheduled a massage for the next day (good idea btw)).
In the end, I chose 30 of my favourite pictures because that was as far as I could narrow down my choices. Turns out, I couldn’t get enough of me!
As I write this, three days after my session, I’m still filled with the wholeness that filled me that day. By “wholeness” I mean, what I believe about me, what I feel about me, I saw in those photos.
There was no duality of looking pretty but not feeling pretty or vice versa. Those photos made me feel truly complete and authentic. And that is something even my inner critic cannot take away.
Thank you Jen and Meg. I will be forever grateful."
