If you're thinking about booking a session with Bombshell Experience but you're nervous, this is…read moreyour sign to do it. I traveled from Brooklyn to Syracuse to celebrate my 34th birthday, and from the moment I walked through the door, I knew I had made the right decision. Nikki welcomed me with such kindness and immediately made me feel comfortable. Sydni did my hair exactly the way I wanted it and made me laugh, which helped calm my nerves. Kelsey, my photographer, guided me through every pose, hyped me up the entire session, and made me feel beautiful and confident even when I doubted myself. Then Elise made my image reveal one of the most exciting moments of the entire experience. Her excitement was contagious, and seeing the photos for the first time left me speechless. I hadn't had my hair and makeup professionally done since I was 20 years old, and I had never had professional portraits taken before. I came in nervous, but I left feeling empowered. For the first time in a long time, I saw myself the way everyone else seemed to see me--beautiful, confident, and strong. One of the moments I'll never forget was hearing how much the team loved my photos. Knowing that one of my images would be displayed in their showroom and that they featured my session on their Instagram Story made me feel incredibly honored and celebrated. This wasn't just a photoshoot. It was an experience that reminded me to celebrate myself. As a single mom, I spend so much time taking care of everyone else that I rarely do something just for me. This was the best gift I could have given myself, and it became one of the best experiences I've had in years. To every woman who's thinking about booking a session: don't wait until you feel "perfect." Go exactly as you are. The Bombshell Experience team will make you feel beautiful, confident, and celebrated every step of the way. I can't wait to come back and do it again someday. Thank you, Nikki, Sydni, Kelsey, Elise, and the entire Bombshell Experience team. I'll never forget how you made me feel.
