My experience with MK Boudoir was absolutely amazing! I decided to book a boudoir shoot with Emily as a special gift to my soon to be husband. What I didn't realize at the time was that this would truly be a life changing experience. Here's a breakdown of my experience:
The consult: Emily reached out to schedule a consult call shortly after I submitted my inquiry. The consult call was informative and Emily answered all questions that I had. She was very personable and easy to talk to from the get go. And she really set the tone that this would be a very empowering experience for myself. Following the consult, Emily sent over a questionnaire to be completed prior to the shoot. I loved that the questionnaire gauged the level spicy I was comfortable with, asked about what I love about my body, and even about the things I wasn't fond of.
The day of the shoot: call time was at 9 AM. I was greatly warmly and already loved the vibes Emily had set. Hair and makeup was done by Yana, who was as amazing as Emily. MK Boudoir also has a client closet that was very size inclusive! So if you're a plus size girly like myself, I promise you there's something in there for you before starting the shoot, I was given a mini modeling lesson. I was quite anxious going into it because I had never been the most confident girly. But Emily gave me a pep talk reminding me that this was going to be an empowering experience. Once we got the ball rolling, the anxiety went away almost instantly. She would hype me up throughout the shoot and just overall made it such a fun, healing experience.
All to say this photoshoot was more than just a special gift to my fiancé. As someone who's struggled with body dysmorphia and an eating disorder, this experience taught me a lesson about self-love, acceptance, and empowerment. Emily is more than just a talented photographer, she's a friend, a girls' girl,and therapist all in one. I cannot recommend her services enough. If you're on the fence about booking a shoot with MK Boudoir, I urge you to book that consultation! And if you see yourself as a potato like myself, trust me when I say this. Her work will shine light on the beauty that we fail to see in our day to day lives read more
