The Empowering Side of Boudoir: Jasmin’s Story

Every woman who steps in front of my camera brings her own story — and each one is a powerful reminder that confidence doesn’t come from changing who we are, but from embracing who we are.

Jasmin’s journey to booking her boudoir session was all about honouring herself. Like so many women, she was craving something just for her — a moment to feel sexy, strong, and unapologetically herself.

In today’s post, she opens up about what made her say yes to a boudoir shoot, how it felt to be in front of the camera, and what the experience gave her beyond the photos.

“I thought about having a boudoir photoshoot shortly after myself and my partner separated. I was feeling low in confidence, unappreciated and wanted to feel sexy again.

I've always fancied doing something like boudoir after seeing so many gorgeous photos online and on social media but never had the full confidence to book one myself. I never thought I would pluck up the courage todo one, especially after having my son 2 years ago and my body changing so much but i'm so glad I did.

I think boudoir is something that you have to just throw yourself into and i'm so glad that I did. Although I was slightly nervous before the shoot, Heather made me feel so comfortable. I do think that the photographer you choose plays a huge part in your experience because I personally believe that Heather's approach / manner made the session super easy as she was so knowledgable and was able to explain a wide range of different poses which allowed me to feel confident and sexy.”

“Heather also made me feel so comfortable as she's super friendly and had a playlist customised to my preferred choice of music playing in the background, alongside some lovely sweeties and drinks to choose from which was a lovely touch. Throughout my session I felt alot more confident and the nerves pretty much disappeared straight away.

Once heather sent me my digital images, I was so shocked and pleasantly surprised that I was able to look so confident, sexy and empowering. Looking at my images booted my confidence massively and made me appreciate my new 'mum body'. I was able to see myself differently which was exactly what I needed having recently gone through a breakup.

I'd highly recommend Heather to friends, family, colleagues and anybody that is thinking about a boudoir shoot because I cant speak highly enough of Heather or the boudoir experience.”

Jasmin’s story is a beautiful reminder that boudoir isn’t just about photos — it’s about reclaiming how you see yourself. Whether you’re navigating a big life change, reconnecting with your body after motherhood, or simply craving a confidence boost, this experience can be the spark that reminds you just how incredible you already are.

You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment or the perfect body — because neither truly exist. What does exist is the opportunity to celebrate yourself exactly as you are, right now. And like Jasmin, you might just walk away seeing yourself in a whole new light.
