What was your biggest fear before hiring Sacramento Boudour? Did it come true, and if not, what happened instead?

That I wouldn’t feel comfortable in the setting and that we wouldn’t “click”. That quickly disappeared once we started chatting and I knew right away you were the perfect choice. I think having you there for the hair and makeup was great because it gave me a chance to get to know you before I had to get into my “sexy clothes”. By the time I was ready to go, I felt like we already had a vibe going and my concerns faded away quickly.

What, specifically, was your favorite part of your experience, and why?

Coming in and seeing my pictures scrolling on the TV and being in awe at how well they turned out and that it really was me. It reminded me that with a little effort and the right styling I too and look like the image I always have of myself in my head.

What advice would you give to someone considering booking a session with us?

Don’t be nervous or worry about getting to the perfect body size, Jillian is a master at posing and getting you to look your best no matter what. I was 10 weeks pregnant and had started getting a little soft around the middle but she helped position me to hide the things I was nervous about and the pictures were amazing.

What response did you get from your beloved?

My husband was very happy with the photos. His direct response was that in no way did he need / ever want me to feel like I had to do something like this for him but he was so happy that I had a day of fun for myself and that the fun I was having came through in the photos and for that in itself he loves them.

What types of negative things (if any) did you tell yourself before your session with Sacramento Boudour?

I should lose some more weight, I should have done this before getting pregnant, not tan enough, I won’t know how to pose / what to do, I’ll look stupid trying to look “sexy.”

What did your experience do to silence those doubts?

Lighting, angles, and posing do wonders for all of the issues above. Choosing an outfit that you feel comfortable in is also a huge thing. I had one outfit that I knew would look good, but I was having issues choosing my third outfit and thankfully Jillian stepped in and we worked together to find the outfit that would make me feel the best. And I also found out that the sexy look for everybody is different. I didn’t have to do any over-the-top face things to get the perfect “sexy” look for me. My favorite shots were some of the ones where I was laughing or looking off in the distance.

What did you take away from your experience at Sacramento Boudour that surprised you the most?

How sore I was the next day…the photos with the arching were well worth it though! Also, how much fun I had during the whole day and how easy it was to drop the sheet right from the start.

If you could give your photo session a title, what would it be?

“She’ll be back” This album is my motivation to stay healthy during my pregnancy. The second reason is that this album reminds me that this strong, fun, confident woman is within me for any time I’m having a bad day or need a little confidence boost.

What three words describe your experience best?

Worthwhile, Fun, Bucket List
