One Year Reflection of my Journey into Boudoir Photography with my Luxury Brand MORE

October 21, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

Hey, beautiful souls, I have something to share…

I’ve been reflecting on my journey into boudoir photography and how I got here, and I just want to be real with you all for a moment.

Stepping fully into this brand has been a battle—a battle with my own fears, self-doubt, and those nagging voices from past clients, family, well-meaning friends, and even strangers. They all stirred up feelings I wasn’t expecting: shame, fear of being judged, fear of losing respect from people I love. There were so many moments when I felt the weight of it all, when my people-pleasing tendencies begged me to step back, to make myself small to avoid the rejection and criticism.

But the thing is, I believe in what boudoir stands for, and it’s bigger than the fears in my head. Boudoir is about releasing shame, rejecting the idea that we have to hide or apologize for who we are. It’s about helping women like you (and like me) hold onto our power, to stand tall even when the world tries to make us feel like we’re not good enough. It's about creating space where we can stop making ourselves insignificant, stop shrinking ourselves because of the fear that we won’t measure up.

The truth is… I’m still on this journey. I’m not perfect. I struggle with this every single day, just like you do. No one is perfect—not me, not anyone you see online. What we see on social media is just the highlight reel, but the behind-the-scenes stuff? That’s where the real growth happens.

And here’s the real deal: it’s okay to be raw, to be unapologetic with our feelings, our fears, our desires. It’s okay to want more for ourselves and feel stuck sometimes. We are all walking this path together, and sometimes the road is winding, sometimes it’s scary, and we don’t always know what’s around the corner. But every step we take forward straightens our posture and builds up our confidence in who we truly are.

I want you to know, I’m here with you on this journey. I’m cheering you on as you take your steps, and I hope you’ll cheer me on as I take mine. When one of us stumbles, we’ll lift each other up. And when the path gets really tough and uncertain, we’ll hold hands and walk through it together.

Let’s continue to grow, empower one another, and unapologetically show up as the incredible, unique women we are. We’re in this together. 💕

With all my love and gratitude,
Nikki
