The overall experience was empowering for me. I have never done a professional photo shoot let alone a boudoir shoot so for a lens to be able to capture the intimacy between two queer people of color was empowering. I looked at the pictures in awe as the photographer, Olesha caught everything from the laughs to the sexy which I appreciate. 

The best memory of the overall experience was the constant communication. Olesha constantly checked in to ensure our comfortability, offered direction and support when necessary, encouraged creative input, and had Jennifer and I laughing the entire time ! The communication allowed for a necessary level of transparency that allowed everything to flow naturally. 

As I mentioned this was not only my first boudoir experience but my first professional photo shoot so I was NERVOUS! I didn’t know what to expect however after meeting and engaging with Olesha I felt right at home. She is warm, insightful, and encouraging. She also allowed us to set our own boundaries and didn’t apply any pressure. My body had never been photographed in such a way so to have someone willing to listen and acknowledge your input was enlightening.

Don’t overthink it and question yourself you are beautiful enough, sexy enough, and captivating enough. This experience will give you an opportunity to embrace and appreciate yourself. 

Again thanks for the opportunity!
