I survived my weekend as a vendor at the Working Women’s Survival Show. It was intense… Think 25 hours of show time, let alone set-up each day. Looking back though, it was all worth it. I took this “mostly women only” opportunity to really feature and talk about Boudoir Photography. While I do lots of different types of photography, Boudoir is my sweet spot. I get to work with someone who is {usually} embarrassed and shy and help them become a more empowered and confident person. I get to help them create a gift for their sweetheart that will be cherished for years to come. Most times, the husband truly understands how difficult it would be for their spouse to have a photo sitting in lingerie, and the gift is that much more intensified. Besides this, women are hard on themselves. Each of us. Having an album to look at, to see that you really are a sexy and confident person, is hugely empowering.
You can do it for him or do it for yourself. I recommend both!
I will admit that the show was not all work and no play. My sister had a booth for Stylish Noggins right next to mine. My Mom was also there for part of the weekend. She sat across the way, beaming at her girls, and kept us stocked full of Diet Coke. We don’t live in the same region of the country, so I loved having both of them so close for the whole weekend.
I also need to give a holler to the women who let me use their images for signage, albums and the slide show. You know who you are, and I am so thankful that you were willing to show some of the images from your intimate session. Thank you for helping other women to see what you did and think about what a shoot like this could do for their lives.
That is all for today. With my hand surgery and this show, I have not been booking sessions for the last few weeks. I am back at it this weekend, though, with 5 fun sessions planned. SO excited!
This is my sister. She is amazing. Kari has had Alopecia for 20 years of her life. In case you don’t know what Alopecia is, the immune system attacks hair. This results in permanent hair loss. In the beginning, Kari wore wigs. But as the years passed without new hair growth, she eventually became more and more comfortable in her self.
