As a professional boudoir photographer, I meet so many amazing women with their own unique stories. I always joke that one day I will write a book for women by women about all the things we go through in this life of ours. The struggle is real y’all!
Sometimes my heart hurts for some women when hearing their stories but then I see how strong and determined they are to write a new chapter in their lives with the best possible outcome. I love how today’s love note has a beautiful ending…
I never imagined that my life would turn out this way. I was married for 20 years to the man I thought was the love of my life. We had two children together and built a life that I was proud of. But then, everything came crashing down when I found out that he had been cheating on me with a 25-year-old co-worker.
I was heartbroken. I felt betrayed, angry, and hurt. I couldn’t believe that the man I had trusted and loved for so long could do this to me. I felt like I wasn’t enough, like I wasn’t desirable anymore. The thought of my husband leaving me for someone so much younger was devastating.
For months, I went through all the emotions of being betrayed. I cried myself to sleep most nights, feeling like I had lost a part of myself. I didn’t know who I was anymore. But then, one day, I decided to take my life back. I wanted to feel desirable again. I wanted to find myself and learn to love myself again.
I heard about boudoir photoshoots from a friend and decided to give it a try. It was something I had never done before, but I knew it was something that could help me find my confidence again. I booked a session with Critsey at Couture Boudoir and started preparing for the shoot. She was fanatstic in helping me with what to bring and how to prepare.
On the day of the shoot, I was nervous. I had never felt so exposed before. But as son as Critsey started taking pictures, something changed. I started to feel more and more confident. I felt beautiful, sexy, and desirable. For the first time in months, I felt like myself again.
When I received the pictures, I was blown away. I looked amazing. The pictures captured my strength, my beauty, and my newfound confidence. It was like looking at a new version of myself. I felt proud of what I had accomplished.
The boudoir photoshoot was a turning point for me. It helped me find myself again, to feel desirable and find self-love. I realized that I didn’t need anyone else to make me feel beautiful or worthy. I had it in myself all along. It was a powerful reminder that I was more than my marriage, more than my husband’s betrayal. I was a strong, beautiful, and capable woman.
If you are feeling lost or just need a confidence boost I highly recommend booking with Critsey. She is amazing and will help you feel and look amazing too. ~Laura
