A Boudoir Before and After {Indianapolis, IN Boudoir Photographer}

I think this post needed to be made. I have SO many woman contact me wanting to shoot boudoir sessions, but have a lot of little hang ups about their bodies. Stretch marks, belly pooches, cellulite, I've heard it all. In the end, about 5% of these women actually end up booking a session. No amount of, 'You're beautiful the way you are!', or 'I can minimize flaws and imperfections in editing upon request', eases the other 95% minds.

So, this post is for those women. Now, obviously, this lady looked great before. But, she had your typical concerns about stretch marks, etc.. The point is, I don't WANT to make you look like a different person. You aren't a supermodel (or maybe you are!)! But I can edit your body so that you still look like YOU, and at the same time get rid of your hangups. ;) And if you are comfortable with all those little imperfections that make you YOU, then more power to you! Because those imperfections make you who you are.

So, a Before and After. On the left is the before, right, after. In editing, I lightened stretch marks, lightened the line from her back to side, and slightly sucked in the belly. That's it. The only thing I actually 'got rid of' was her belly pooch, and that was because it was requested. ;) The stretch marks are still there, but lightened to where you can only see a trace of them. And then I did my typical editing recipe to finish.



I will be holding another Boudoir Marathon around the beginning of June, so be looking for info soon!!

Thanks for looking!
