Stretch, Stretch, Stretch
Stretch, Stretch, Stretch
Stretching before your session is SO important to help be able to execute the poses I'm going to put you in to the best of your ability. It will also help you be able to maximize the amount of arch therefore making each and every pose that much more FIREEEEE!!!
I've linked below a 15 minute deep stretch yoga. Starting 2-3 weeks before your session (1 month if you're feeling up to it) I want you to take the 15 minutes to follow along the video!!
This is a great excuse for some me time; and some reflection. I highly encourage you to take this 15 minutes to reflect on what you want to get out of your experience. Allow yourself to feel all the feelings. The nerves; the excitement etc.
The most magical part about this experience is that you see yourself from a perspective you never have before. The most common reaction from clients when I show them that first sneak peak on the back of my camera is "HOLY SHIT THAT'S ME?!?!"
HELL FREAKING YA THAT'S YOU.
It's the you that's always been there. The you that's been the punching bag for all your self doubt and negative talk all the years. The you that deserves to be celebrated. The you that through this experience is going to learn that she's worthy of love, worthy of kindness and worthy of feeling at peace in the skin she's in.

Are you constantly at war with myself, trapped in a cycle of negative self-talk and self-doubt? Is every decision you make tainted by the fear of judgment and the nagging belief that you are not good enough? Like you're watching the world pass you by while you hide in the shadows, too afraid to fully embrace life's opportunities?
Does your longing to break free and embrace your true self grow stronger with each passing day. Finding the courage to accept and love yourself as you are is the key to unlocking the door to a life filled with joy and authenticity.
It's can feel like a daunting journey, but the thought of reclaiming your experiences and finding true happiness should be a beacon of hope.
That's where I come in, to plant that seed and show you how freaking beautiful you've A L W A Y S been.
No more excuses, now's your time.
✨September- December bookings are NOW OPEN! ✨
The most common response when clients see how damn good we make their bootys look is "OMGGGG I didn't know my butt could look so good" 🤩
So often women come into the studio telling me they have no booty, or their booty doesn't look good.. AND BOYYYYYY DO I CHANGE THEIR MINDS😉 Consider this your Bare Soul BBL 🤣

When you step into my studio it is much more than "Just a Photoshoot"
It's an experience.
An experience that has the ability to completely shift the perspective you have on your self. An experience that allows you to see yourself from the outside, to take a step back and see yourself from unbiased eyes.
An experience that shows you that you're worthy of pampering, of celebration, of love, and of feeling at home in your body.
An experience that teaches you how much better you feel when you invest the time and effort into doing things that are for YOU and for no one else.
An experience that allows you to reflect on the way you've treated yourself in the past, and sets you up on the path to change your thought patterns.
This experience allows you to grow. To heal. To take back your power.
And that's something every women deserves to experience. 🖤

Hair and Make-up is included with all of my sessions & I actually won't take bookings without the glam process!!✨❤️ Which may seem unusual to you, but let me explain why... 👇🏼
The glam process may seem insignificant, but as all past clients of mine would tell you- it's actual a HUGE part of the experience. This 1-2 hours spent chatting, relaxing, and getting glammed up really does allow you to settle in and it helps ease nerves significantly before we shoot! I am present the whole time, so it's not just you and the make-up artist! (I told ya, I'm here every step of the way gf!!) This time is when I get to learn who you are, we get to have laughs, I get to learn why you booked your shoot! Sometimes conversation is more deep almost like a therapy session, sometimes it's light and airy just shooting the shit. The vibe is totally up to you!❤️ A lot of time I end up hearing in depth abut why clients have booked their sessions, and I honestly absolutely love it. It gives me in sight into how this experience can heal women, and I'm truly still to this day hearing unique stories at every session. ❤️
The artists I bring in, I hold to a high standard. It's extremely important to me that I only give my clients the absolute best. They're incredible humans with the kindest souls and love this art form just as much as I do. They will work with you to create a make-up look that photographs beautifully and makes you feel like a QUEEEEEN✨✨

I'm Jess, your empowerment expert & professional hype gal!!!! 👋🏼💋 My job when you choose me for your life changing experience is to make sure you leave my studio with a new found confidence. To show you how beautiful you are, and always have been whether you previously believed it or not. I'm here to help kick start your journey to learning to feel at peace with your body, to help you learn to treat yourself the way you deserve to be treated.
I'm here to celebrate all bodies, to create a safe & empowering space for every woman.
This experience is like no other. It allows you to see yourself through the lens of unbiased eyes. It gives you a new found appreciation for yourself, for your body.
This experience isn't just for confident women. It's MADE TO CREATE CONFIDENT WOMEN.
So if the excuse you've given yourself is that you're not confident enough, let me GIVE you confidence through this life changing art form.
If the excuse you've given yourself is that you need to change something about yourself first, I urge you to reflect on what caused the belief that you aren't worthy of this experience without changing the way you look.. My entire goal with this experience is to embrace and celebrate your body exact as it is. No more conforming to the absurd pressures society puts on women. My studio is a place to rebel against those norms, to push for change and to inspire other women to do the same.
Because together we will create a better place moving forward for all women!❤️

Interrupting your Saturday afternoon with some FIRE wild side content 🥹🌿 If you're wanting to get in on one of these magical sessions, shoot me a dm and I'll send over a link to my wild side info guide that has all the details you need to know!! ✨
More from this session coming to the blog soooon 👀
"Healing is not about going back to exactly who you were before, because that person was not capable of seeing the storm before it hit, and that person didn't know hot to shield themselves from it. You aren't supposed to go back to being more naive, or unaware. You aren't meant to return to your mindlessness, a life in which you didn't know the contrasts. What you get through healing is greater than a return, it is a rebirth.
You become stronger where you've been broken.
You become grounded where you've been egotistical. You become responsible where you've been neglectful. You become more sensitive and conscious. You become more considerate, more empathetic, more mindful, more careful.
You learn the hard lessons so you can open your heart to the lighter ones.
You come more fully into the experience of being alive.
-Brianna Wiest
Move different if you want different. Old keys will never open new doors.
This applies to your relationship with yourself & your body.
Taking the first step to start changing our self sabotaging behaviours can be so difficult, it's easy to continue to pick yourself apart in the mirror, to continue believing that you don't deserve to take up space.
But you know that the route to healing isn't the easy road. It's constant work, but it's some of your life's most important work.
So I challenge you to start small, grab an old notebook & start the mindset shift by journalling 2 things you're grateful for & 1 thing you're proud of yourself for every night for a week, and watch how even just STARTING to make a conscious effort to change your thought patterns can snowball into something bigger.-

As women, we are constantly bombarded with messages telling us we need to look a certain way, act a certain way, and be a certain way in order to be considered "good enough."
My studio is a place where you get to give a giant middle finger to all of those messages. A place where you learn to embrace yourself as you are. A place to grow, to heal, to take back your power.
A place to fall back in love with the woman staring back at you in the mirror. ❤️

We all wake up or look in the mirror sometimes & don't feel the greatest. Self love isn't easy. It's not just taking a bubble bath, or going to the spa. It's looking in the mirror and learning to shift your perspective & speak kindly to yourself. It's taking a hard look at your habits and adjusting them to what's best for you and your health. It's putting yourself first when that's not always the easy thing to do. It's doing the things you don't want to do, but you do them because you KNOW they're good for you. It's about learning to preserve your mental energy.
Self love isn't always sunshine & rainbows. It's hard work... constant work. But it's work that makes the world of a difference in the quality of your life & that's something worth working for! ❤️

THIS IS YOUR REMINDER.....
✨👉🏼 To make sure you're filling YOUR cup before filling others.
✨👉🏼 That it's okay to need time/space away from those that you love. (family, friends)
✨👉🏼 That it's fine to take a little longer to respond when you just don't have a whole lot of energy to give.
✨👉🏼 That you are doing AMAZING.
✨👉🏼 That you've made it this far during these WILD times, so you can keep pushing through.
✨👉🏼 That it's okay to feel like your world is falling apart. Tale a deep breath, tomorrow is a new day.
✨👉🏼 That regardless of the number on the scale or what you see in the mirror you are worthy of happiness.
✨👉🏼 That your life doesn't exist to please others.
✨👉🏼 To be kind, you never know what someones going through.

Learning to love yourself is a commitment..
I'll be honest, one boudoir shoot isn't an end all, fix all solution.
Your boudoir experience is a seed. A seed that you need to continue to nurture.
If you leave your experience and allow yourself to slip back into the same non existent self love habits, then you won't see a change.
You need to continue to take time for you, you need to continue to do the hard things that you KNOW are good for you. You need to continue to keep yourself front of mind.
But it doesn't stop there. Self love and body confidence isn't always bubble baths and face masks.
It's leaping out of your comfort zone and experiencing mad amounts of confidence from doing so.
Self love is different from person to person.
Maybe it's investing in therapy, maybe it's making a boudoir shoot a yearly thing, maybe it's taking the time to get your nails done, maybe it's hiring a babysitter for the kids one night a week or every other week. Maybe it's taking 10 minutes every morning or night to journal. Maybe it's booking that doctors appointment you've been putting off. Maybe it's committing to moving your body everyday.
No matter what self love is to you and how you practice it- your boudoir shoot is the first step in your journey. You get to taste what it's like to put yourself first, to invest in yourself and how amazing that makes you feel.
It makes you crave that feeling, and therefore inspires self love in all areas of life.

This experience wasn't made just for confident women.... It was made to CREATE confident women!! ✨
A super common misconception about this experience is that you NEED to be confident to book your session and that if you currently lack confidence that this isn't for you!
That could not be further from the truth. You see, you may find yourself scrolling through my feed thinking omg I could never look like that. Well, reality is that almost every single babe you're looking at thought that exact same thing.
I may sound like a broken record here, but it's so important to me that my clients know that no matter your size, shape, hair colour, age, (aside from 18+) this experience is FOR YOU.
The exact limiting thoughts "I can't do this" & "I'm not good enough for this because ______" are the exact thoughts we're working to break the cycle of. I am here to liberate you of those thoughts, but I can't do it on my own! YOU need WANT to change, to live a happier life & to leap out of your comfort zone!❤️ -

Women don't come to me looking for me to turn them into something they're not. They don't come to me to hide, manipulate or edit their bodies.
They come to me because they're tired of living their lives hating their bodies. Resenting their bodies. Being ashamed of their bodies.
They come to me because they're ready to CELEBRATE the amazing body that supports them every single day. The body that gave them their children. The body that's capable of so much. The body that works damn hard to give you everything you need.
There is no such thing as a "Boudoir Experience Ready Body" It just doesn't exist.
Your body is worthy of being celebrated, appreciated and LOVED exactly as it is.
{Studio Located in London Ontario}
I truly wish I could express to you in more than just words how much more than "just a photo shoot" the experience I've created is...
This experience was designed to show you that you're worth investing in, that you're allowed to treat yourself, that you shouldn't feel guilty for booking this just for YOU.
It was thoughtfully crafted from start to finish to take as much off your plate as possible. From hair & make-up, to outfits, to an extensive prep guide to posing- everything's covered. We've got you.
My studio is, in most cases, equivalent to your therapists office. Although ya girl doesn't have a degree in psychology- I am at this point a professional hype gal + cheerleader, self confidence fairy god mother & body positive artist. I wear these titles like a badge of honour, and I take them seriously. I realize the power I hold, and I don't take it lightly. ❤️
Whether you're healing, growing, learning, taking back your power or leaping out of your comfort zone- If you choose me to be part of that experience with you, it's always such an honour!❤️
I asked past clients how they felt before vs after their sessions, here are some of their responses❤️
"Driving to my session the nerves were definitely setting in and for a moment I questioned if this was the right thing. From the moment Jess opened the studio door though, the nerves started to subside. Slowly but surely as we went through the steps, the nerves faded. The drive home was full of so much excitement and I couldn't wait to see the photos she captured, and I couldn't stop smiling at what a big step that was for me, and how I already wanted to do it again!"
"Before my session I wasn't very confident I wanted ti hide my body and just go under the radar I would look at myself in the mirror and look at all the things I wish I could change.
After my session it was a complete 360 as soon as I walked out the door to my car I felt like a whole new person. I was on cloud 9 after my session with Jess I look at myself now and see how beautiful I truly am and that nobody is perfect but my imperfections make me who I am and they should be make beautiful"
"Before the session, I was nervous, anxious, and ready to run for the hills. Afterwards, I felt absolutely amazing, one of those I couldn't believe I just did that moments. Even more so because it was one of the most supportive experiences I've had in my life. Jess and Tuni, were there the entire time guiding me through everything and are truly the BEST hype girls ever!"

Hit the link in my bio & let's chat about your life changing experience!!❤️❤️
When you look in the mirror after this life changing experience, you're not going to see a new woman.
You're going to see the same woman that was always there, with the same beauty, the same worth, the same powerful energy.
This experience, simply lifts the veil that's been thrown over your eyes and allows you to see what's been there all along. It allows you to work past all the self doubt that's been so deeply ingrained. The self doubt that's been around for so long, you started to think "How could I learn to feel any differently?"
The transformation that occurs from having your own boudoir experience is nothing short of absolutely fucking magical. To those who have never experienced one themselves, it may seem like "just a photoshoot" but I PROMISE you it's so much more than that.

You will never find growth in your comfort zone! I use this example when speaking about boudoir A LOT! Because really, booking a boudoir experience is one of the most vulnerable (and sometimes scary!) things you can do. But the incredible power that it has to heal self image struggles really blows my mind even though I witness it first hand every single day.
I've had babes in the studio who are recovering from eating disorders, addiction, abusive relationships.
Babes who have struggled to put themselves first & are taking the first step to change that. Babes who have never once thought of themselves as beautiful. Babes who feel the immense pressure society puts on women to look a certain way.
This experience is incredibly healing for so many different circumstances, for so many women from all different walks of life.
Babes who've been in my studio- If you're comfortable sharing, What did your experience do for you?❤️👇🏼

"What would you say to anyone on the fence about a Boudoir session?" - From Past Clients
🖤 "BOOK IT!! Don't hold back because you won't regret it because boudoir is not all tits and ass like the world likes to make it out to be it is truly about how empowering you feel when you see yourself in ways most don’t get the chance to!!"
🖤 "DO ITTTTT. There is no regretting it. Why not? What could you possibly have to lose in doing it? I guarantee there will be AT LEAST one image from your gallery that you fall in love with, which will make the entire experience worth it. I promise you. YOU DESERVE IT."
🖤 "Don’t second guess it, stick to your guns and pull the trigger. Book the damn shoot!
I promise it’s worth the investment ❤️
YOU are worth feeling like you’re on top of the world."
🖤 "Don't wait until the "right time" and certainly don't think about trying to capture yourself in any other version than what you are now. Who you are now is perfect and that deserves to be celebrated."

I'm here to hold your hand through this entire experience. I'm here to show you how to kick your negative self talk to the freaking curb. I'm here to show you that the (false) beauty standards you've been conditioned to believe are the furthest thing from the truth.
🦋 YOU ARE POWERFUL.
🦋 YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
🦋 YOU ARE WORTHY.
🦋 YOU ARE STRONG.
Standing at the bottom of the self acceptance mountain looking up is DAUNTING- I get it. But TOGETHER we're going to make that climb.
So strap in.......... Get ready for a complete mental transformation, a transformation where you now realize your worth. You realize that your outer appearance is irrelevant. Where you wake up everyday & appreciate your one & only permanent home; your body!
Bubble bath minis last month were so freaking incredible 😮💨 Been getting lots of q's about when shower minis or bubble bath minis will be coming back- Typically I do shower minis twice a year! Once in January and then again around Aug/Sept!! BUTTT I'm thinking about doing it a little earlier this year AND giving you the option to choose if you want to do shower or bubble bath! 👀
Join the email list to stay up to date on info & join my VIP Facebook group to give input on future minis 🙌🏼

STOP 👏🏼 FEELING 👏🏼 GUILTY 👏🏼 FOR 👏🏼 CELEBRATING 👏🏼 YOURSELF 👏🏼
There seems to be such a guilt around spoiling ourselves, celebrating ourselves, feeling good in our own skin for nobody but ourselves.
I've designed this experience to truly be the ultimate YOU DAY. For a few hours no one else matters. Work can wait, the kids can wait, your spouse can wait.
The creation of the birthday add on is definitely an even further extension of that. It's throwing a party for your damn self cause YOU DESERVE IT. It's creating tangible memories that you'll be able to look back on in 20+ years & think DAMNNNN I was so hot. It's a great excuse to do this annually and be able to look back on how you've grown and changed through out the years.
So, book the birthday add on. Celebrate another trip around the sun. (Because you age like fine wine & it's time celebrate that!!!) 🥳
Dm me for the link to my intro guide for all the deets ✨❤️🍰🥂
Why wait until you've hit rock bottom to start prioritizing yourself? When you learn to prioritize your own needs every day, you develop the resilience to withstand anything that gets thrown your way.
It's time to jump head first out of your comfort zone, babe. Take this as a your sign- you'll never know what awaits you outside of your bubble until you make the journey out there.
🖤ENOUGH WAITING, It's time to do the damn thing🖤
Books are currently open until end of August, Payment plans available, shoot me an email through my site for my Intro guide will all the details!! Let's do this ✨
LET'S TALK NERVES!!!! 🥺
First thing I'm gunna say here is that nerves are TOTALLY normal and should 10000% be embraced.
You might be nervous because....
👉🏼 You rarely like to look at yourself with this minimal clothing, let alone having a stranger see you this way.
👉🏼 You've struggled with body image for years and can't yet see how a photoshoot could change that.
👉🏼 You worry about what your friends/family may think of you for booking a boudoir shoot.
👉🏼 You think that you'll be completely on your own during this experience.
👉🏼 You imagined a scenario in your head where your photos turn out HORRIBLE.
👉🏼 This is wayyyy out of your comfort zone.
Any of these sound familiar?
In a lot of cases no matter how many times you go over my prep guide, ask me all the questions, read testimonials from past clients or tell yourself that it's just in your head... you will still feel nervous leading up to your session.
Boudoir evokes so many emotions.
👉🏼 Fear
👉🏼 Excitement
👉🏼 Nervousness
👉🏼 Anxiety
👉🏼 Hope
But my favourite thing to remind clients while they're riding this rollercoaster of emotions leading up to their date, is that growth doesn't come from comfort zones. A lot of times putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations is something we avoid like the plague. But think about how many times you were nervous to do something, and how FREAKING AWESOME it felt after you handled it like a boss. That "FUCK YA I DID THAT" feeling?? That's exactly what you'll feel leaving the studio ❤️
Allow me introduce you to the NEW you✨
👉🏼 The you that's liberated from the pressure placed on women from the beauty and fashion industries.
👉🏼 The you that no longer see's her stretch marks as a flaw.
👉🏼 The you that's come to accept her scars as part of her story.
👉🏼 The you that's been through SO much & is proud of how far she's come.
👉🏼 The you that KNOWS her worth.
👉🏼 The you that knows physical appearance doesn't define her. Allow me to unveil to you, the badass, beautiful, powerful women who emerges from my studio. The girl who's head is held higher, the girl who has kick started her journey to self acceptance.
THAT'S what you get from this experience.
It's not just a photo shoot, it's not worthless money you're throwing down the toilet. It's the first step of a new chapter, the chapter you've always wanted to read but gave yourself every excuse in the world not to turn the page.
I like to be VERY up front and clear about my policies when it comes to re-touching from the beginning with clients because it is not something I am willing to compromise on.
And that policy is: Anything temporary (bruises, bug bites, acne, scapes) can be edited out, anything permanent stays. (Tattoos, scars, stretch marks, cellulite, birth marks etc)
Now you might be thinking, Jess wtf. I hate these things why can't you get rid of them. Listen, I get it it's hard not to fixate on these things that you may have come to hate but the reason I am here is to help you learn to accept and feel comfortable with these things, to help you no longer see them as flaws that hinder your beauty. I won't edit your skin to look like plastic or make your eyes look like glass, because that's not what you really look like. I want you to look in the mirror every day and see the same woman in your photos. Not some edited up version that's playing into all the absurd beauty standards around us.
Imagine looking in the mirror, having a bad body day and fixating on your "flaws". Then you pull out your photos and think "These are only beautiful because (insert insecurity here) is edited out." That's not the goal with booking an experience with me. I am determined and dedicated to showing you that the "flaws" you see when you look in the mirror, don't make you any less beautiful.
We have cellulite, stretch marks, skin texture, scars and pores. But who says that means we are any less worthy?

"How did you feel before vs after your session?"
💌 "Before my session I was nervous and so unsure. I wasn't sold that it would accomplish what I thought it would. I was terrified I would see the pictures and feel like they weren't enough. The way I feel seeing pictures taken on normal days where I don't post because they aren't "cute". After my session I was on a next level feeling myself. The way I carried myself and the way I started talking to myself started to change. I had a different energy and I could feel it."
💌 "Before I was a bundle of nerves and had started to let the negative thoughts in. "Am I really sexy enough to get these pictures?" "There's no way I'll be able comfortable enough to strut around in lingerie in front of someone I just met!". After my session I was ready to run down the street naked yelling "Look how amazing I am!!" It was a complete 180 and every time I look at my pictures I remember that feeling."
💌 "I was really scared and nervous before my session. Leaving my session was like a weight lifted off of me, I felt like I was walking on clouds. I packed an outfit that I wouldn't normally wear to change into after my session and I remember feeling so confident even though it was totally out of my comfort zone. I was just so happy and proud of myself for doing this for me."

The amount of love I receive from multi-repeat clients NEVER fails to blow me away & knock me on my ass in the best way possible. 🥹 Steph was one of the first few clients in my first studio of my own, and has been in front of my camera SO many times since. Outside in the creek, in snow, in multiple studio change ups- the trust from this babe is real 🥹
To be able to watch these beautiful women grow, and hear updates on their life over the months/years & form a friendship really is the most beautiful thing that I will never stop being thankful for ✨🤍
These magical images are from the floral mini women's day fundraiser 🌸✨ Should I bring back the floral set? Maybe with some different coloured back drops?🤭

Learning to love yourself is a commitment..
I'll be honest, one boudoir shoot isn't an end all, fix all solution.
Your boudoir experience is a seed. A seed that you need to continue to nurture.
If you leave your experience and allow yourself to slip back into the same non existent self love habits, then you won't see a change.
You need to continue to take time for you, you need to continue to do the hard things that you KNOW are good for you. You need to continue to keep yourself front of mind.
But it doesn't stop there. Self love and body confidence isn't always bubble baths and face masks.
It's leaping out of your comfort zone and experiencing mad amounts of confidence from doing so.
Self love is different from person to person.
Maybe it's investing in therapy, maybe it's making a boudoir shoot a yearly thing, maybe it's taking the time to get your nails done, maybe it's hiring a babysitter for the kids one night a week or every other week. Maybe it's taking 10 minutes every morning or night to journal. Maybe it's booking that doctors appointment you've been putting off. Maybe it's committing to moving your body everyday.
No matter what self love is to you and how you practice it- your boudoir shoot is the first step in your journey. You get to taste what it's like to put yourself first, to invest in yourself and how amazing that makes you feel.
It makes you crave that feeling, and therefore inspires self love in all areas of life.
Let's talk products & why I think adding them to your experience makes it THAT much more impactful.. ⬇
First of all, I'm going to sound like a broken record here but seeing your photos PRINTED hits different. Especially when they're luxury, hand crafted, made to last products- these aren't what you're going to find at walmart or shutterfly.
Second, how often do you look at photos from 2-3 years ago on your computer or phone. 10 years ago? I'm willing to guess the answer to that is not very often. They get lost among a digital grave yard of photos never to see the light of day again....
NOW instead of that being the case with your photos, you'll ave a tangible product that you can easily break open when you're having a bad day. When it's been 10 years since the session and you need a reminder of how damn hot you were (and still are!)
In a world that's become so digital, it's always nice to have something tangible. Something you can hold & cherish forever.
Another bonus os that you know that the labs I've built relationships are a) only accessible to professionals & b) you know the 17 year old kid behind the photo desk at walmart or costco isn't creeping on your boudie photos. Cause nobody needs that 😂
Past clients who have added on products- how did you feel seeing yours for the first time?

It's easy to give into the trap of negative self talk. REALLLLLY EASY. I'm willing to bet that 99% of the time you don't realize you're doing it.
We say things we would NEVER say to a friend, a sister, our moms, our daughters.
It's time to change.
It's time to treat yourself like someone you love.
It's time to disrupt the routine you've been stuck in for so long.
It's time to introduce a habit of speaking kindly to yourself.
Let's start right now... What's something you look in the mirror and LOVE about yourself? 👇🏼

To every babe who's stepped foot in my studio, you should be damn proud of yourselves.❤️
The hardest part as a ton of past clients can probably attest to, is convinving yourself to go, to not cancel, to trust in the experience.
But you made it. You did the damn thing.
Stripping down and showing off what you may hide from the world on a daily basis to someone you hardly know is scary but YOU. DID. THAT. for the sake of your self love journey.
& I am so fucking proud of every single one of you. ❤️

To the anyone who thinks women do Boudoir for "attention".... Let me ask you this..
Have you ever known the feeling of not being comfortable in your own skin?
Have you ever had societies ideals thrown in your face CONSTANTLY through advertising by your favourite brands?
Have you ever been so exhausted from giving & giving that you felt you had no energy left to love yourself?
What if there was an experience you could book for yourself that would put you on the path to body neutrality and being able to accept the things you once saw as flaws?
These sessions are for the soul. It's a short period of time you don't have to think about ANYONE but YOURSELF. You get to forget about the running around you have to do for the kids, for the responsibilities of daily life, for your job. You get to forget about your email inbox and pressing deadlines and take a breather.
You get to say.. "TODAY I PUT ME FIRST. "

I had to dig back in the archives and do some re-editing on this one- but I am still so in love with this vintage car session that I did back in 2020.
It was such a fun way to make this babes session personal to her! Out of the box sessions like this are always so fun to shoot!

One of the biggest concerns babes have before booking is "Omg I'm going to look ridiculous and awkward, cause I'm awkward af"
To which I'll say- pretty much every woman that comes into the studio feels that way but more importantly...
I promise you won't look awkward. I guide you head to toe, eye direction, to how bend your knees are. I will admit that a lot of these poses feel super awkward while you're doing them but seeing the photo on the back of my camera makes it all make sense. 🙌🏼🖤
So if you've told yourself this, consider this your sign to do the damn thing🤭

Did you know NONE of the (BEAUTIIIFULLLL) ladies you see on my page/website are models? Not a single one!
They're moms, office workers, nurses, university students, dog walkers, hair stylists... They're EVERYDAY women. Women who have had no/very little prior experience doing something like this. Most with no experience being in front of a professionals camera.
I've said it before & I'll say it till I'm blue in the face: You do NOT need to be a model to do this!! I pose you head to toe, my hair & make-up ladies have you looking all glammed up in a look that suits YOU before your session, I'm here to help you pick the best outfits (and provide them if need be!!!)
I provide this experience to the everyday woman in hopes that I can alleviate some of the day to day stresses, so that together we can say "FUCKK UNREALISTIC BEAUTY STANDARDS", so that these women can see that they're more than their "Titles" (Mom, wife, teacher, police officer, social worker etc...)
THAT THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL IN THE SKIN THEY'RE IN.
Big, small, curvy, round, blonde, brunette, 25 or 50, regardless of race.... You are welcome, celebrated, loved and invited into my studio. This is a safe space for all women, no matter your walk of life. 🖤

$4533.60 RAISED & DONATED TO MY SISTERS PLACE!!!✨🌸🤍 @mysistersplace.ldnont
This fundraiser was so much fun to put together and I absolutely loved being able to use my platform to raise such a good chunk of money for such an incredible support system for women in our community!!! 🥹🥹
Thank you to everyone who purchased raffle tickets, the amazing women owned businesses that donated to the raffle prizes and my amazing clients who booked floral minis!!!🌸🙌🏼✨
To say I’m feeling so incredibly proud of this is such an understatement 🥹
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY!!!!🌸🙌🏼🤍
I like to give this reminder every few months because I often find myself giving it to myself... You don't have to have all your shit together 100% of the time.
It's tough to juggle all the things we're "supposed" to on a daily basis.. and I'm just talking the BASICCCSSS... Feeding yourself, moving your body, hygiene, keeping the house clean, laundry, grocery shopping, getting to bed at a decent time, taking care of pets/kids etc etc
I don't know about you but just that list above feels really fucking overwhelming for me a lot of the time and I'm often feeling like if I'm crushing it in one area, another is suffering. Whether that be the cleanliness of the house, neglecting doing my laundry for weeks, forgetting to eat for most of the day, RESTING!!!! (cause we all know that's just as important as work.)
But when I find myself spiralling into thoughts like "omfg how to normal people have their shit together all the time, get this seemingly basic list of tasks done AND have kids, plus sports, plus a social life, plus see their family" I try to be kind to myself. I remind myself that there's ebbs and flows to everything in life. There's seasons for intense work and seasons for intense rest. There's seasons where the house might be a little messier than usually or you eat out a few more times then you'd like to.
AND THAT'S OKAY. (Also most people don't have 100% of their shit together 100% of the time so🤪)
The important thing that I always come back to is making sure I'm trying my best at prioritizing what creates a solid mental foundation for myself and try my best to make those non negotiable. Making it to the gym to get my energy out, eating 3 meals a day, and trying to tidy something in the house even if it's as simple as picking up all of Nala & Millie's toys. Because for me those 3 things generally ease the already existing anxiety I live with, where as skipping them adds to it.
So if you've been feeling like you've been less than killing it lately, remind yourself that you're worthy of grace from yourself. 🖤
Waking up every morning getting dressed and never feeling drop dead gorgeous, looking at your body in the mirror and hating what you see, covering up in public because you're worried about what others think, hating the stretch marks on your body & doing everything you can to hide them, thinking you're broken because of complications it gives you, believing that your scars define you. Missing out on beach days because you just can't get over the discomfort of being in a bathing suit. Constantly focusing on the size the tag says. Using workouts to punish yourself for eating yummy foods with instead of working out for strength + health. Struggling with body image issues that were passed down by your mom and never being able to get those nasty comments she said to you as a kid out of your head.
Any of that sound familiar?
Well girlfriend, I'm here to kick start your self acceptance, body neutrality, healing journey.
It won't be easy, and I can't magically make any of those things I listed above go away.
But what I can do is open up my safe, inclusive, empowering space to you & help you see a perspective of yourself that you've failed to notice maybe your whole life. The lens boudoir allows you to look through is powerful, really damn powerful. It's not “Just a photo shoot”. It's a day all about you. Showing you that you deserve to be pampered. Instilling the belief that you're allow to spend money on yourself, that you're worthy of me time no matter how daunting your schedule, no matter how many excuses you've given yourself up until now.
If any of this is hitting close to home for you I encourage you to shoot me a message for my intro guide, this experience was made for you.🖤
Finances holding you back from your life changing experience? Good thing we have customizable payment plans 😉
Payments can be split up into 5 equal payments. The first being your session retainer & the last one being due 1 week before your session. The 3 payments in between that can be set to dates that work for you!
Through my invoicing system we will set up an invoice with those dates that you choose and you can set up auto pay to automatically charge your credit or debit card so you don't have any late payments! 🥰
To stretch your payments out further you can book for the last month that my books are open for, which is currently June!
If you have any questions regarding payment plans, shoot me a dm or fill out the contact form on my site!❤️
The reason I refuse to edit out cellulite & stretch marks 👇🏼
Honestly, this is a topic that comes up a lot with Boudoir. Every photographer out there has a different policy regarding it but I like to be SUPER clear about the fact that I will NOT remove stretch marks or cellulite.
And the reason why is a lot more simple than you think.
When you see a photo online that's VERY clearly manipulated (Plastic looking skin, Glass looking eyes.) you know that's not REAL. Photo manipulations popularity is honestly scary. It's perpetuating these false standards, it's damaging minds, mental health & causing dis-trust.
I want you to look at your photos & feel on top of the world knowing that's EXACTLY what you look like. Your photos are a complete representation of you. No fancy waist trimming, arm slimming, scar removing!
I know you might be thinking uhhhh Jess, I'm gunna look at my photos and hate them because my cellulite is my biggest insecurity..... Well, let me paint you a picture.
Say I agree to edit your skin to look like glass, remove every single mark, scar, stretch mark, wrinkle, sun spot. You get your photos back and then you find yourself comparing the woman you see in the mirror to the one in the photos.
Those photos aren't you, you're not that person. HOW SHITTY WOULD THAT FEEL. TO LOOK AT THOSE PHOTOS KNOWING THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE??!?!?!?!? Sure, it might be a temporary boost of confidence to have these plastic barbie looking photos, but on a bad body day those photos won't help you. What will help you, is looking back at your gallery that you KNOW is all you. A gallery that proves to you that you are beautiful despite these insecurities.
I know it's scary to be told that one of your biggest insecurities will be left in a photo. But I promise you that by me doing this, you learn to look in the mirror & absolutely adore the person staring back at you. Cellulite, stretch marks, scars, wrinkles & all. ❤️
Our bodies move.
Our skin folds.
We jiggle.
We have fat cells. (Cellulite- EVERYONE HAS FAT CELLS!)
Stretch marks happen when our body grows.
But I'm here to help you stop focusing on all of these things & start focusing on the beautiful soul INSIDE your body, not the physical vessel that houses it. Because let me tell ya, at the end of the day, when you're old & grey... I PROMISE you, you're not gunna be thinking ...
"Damn I should've worn clothes that pleased others"
You'll be thinking: "I'm GLAD I wore what made ME FEEL GOOD."
You won't be thinking: "AHHHH I should've lost 10 pounds"
You'll be thinking: "I was so beautiful, wow"
But that's why I'm here. That's why I devote all my time and energy to SHOWING you how worth you are- AS YOU ARE.

Swipe to read some reviews from past clients 🥺 These reviews always have me in my feels. To get to play such an important part in my clients journeys of finding themselves again of re-gaining their confidence, of working through a trauma that caused self hatred is something I will never get tired of.
It's such an honour to have created a place where through this magical art form, my clients are reborn sense.
They leave the studio feeling like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders.
They leave feeling an extreme sense of pride that they just accomplished something that was scaring them shitless only a few hours before.
They finally realize that the little voice in the back of their head has been lying to them all this time, they take the first step into reclaiming their power🖤 If you're ready for this to be your reality to, hit the link in my bio- let's do this thing ✨❤️

*Wasn't able to tag everyone due to the tag limit🥲
It's not about being sexy, It's not about looking "skinny" or "curvy", It's not about impressing him or doing it for him.
It's about YOU. From start to freaking finish.
It's about seeing yourself in a new light. About seeing your body from a different perspective from your everyday. About learning to unconditionally love & appreciate your only permanent home. (ahemm your BODY.)
It's time to get up, look in the mirror and speak words of kindness to yourself. No more "I'm not enough" "I'm too skinny" "I'm too fat" "I need a bigger bum" "I need a flatter stomach"
REPLACE THAT SHIT WITH:
"My body has grown with me when I needed it most."
"My body is strong."
"My weight doesn't define my worth."
"I'M A BAD BITCH"

"To say that Jesse is a self love champion is an understatement. What she has created as her business, is not just a photography studio where you get pictures taken. She has built a business that is empowering those to see the power in themselves and their beauty in the purest form possible. Her attention to detail not only in her photography but the prep for your shoot both physically and mentally is perfection. She gets it! If you have ever thought of having boudoir photos done, do not hesitate to book Baresoul Boudoir. You will leave feeling more empowered and confident than you ever could have imagined. JUST BOOK IT!
Trust me, you will not regret it. Bless you Jesse for empowering women one shoot at a time!"
Reviews like this are why I do what I do, getting to change lives is such a privilege 🥺🥺🥺

One of my favourite parts about this job is seeing the contrast between the first, second, third etc times a client comes back to me.❤️ At their first session they were much more shy, unsure of themselves, convinced that they wouldn't love the outcome. Versus their following sessions where they KNOW how damn beautiful they are and all the confidence from the previous sessions roll over into the next. It truly is such a powerful thing to witness & be a part of!❤️

It's time to say enough is ENOUGH...
To the negative self talk that's constantly going on in your head.
To allowing yourself to miss out on the best parts of life because of insecurities.
To letting your weight dictate your worth to yourself.
To allowing having completely natural things like stretch marks & cellulite stop you from wearing a bathing suit.
To allowing your daughters to witness & pick up negative body image habits.
It's time you took the first step into feeling at home & at peace with your body. Click the link in my bio, let's get you booked in for your life changing experience. You deserve this. ❤️

A huge part of finding my confidence in myself & in my body was getting in front of the camera...
Way back before I started Bare Soul Boudoir, I HATED getting in front of the camera. I was shooting families, couples, branding etc at the time and always told people I belong behind the camera not in front of it. (Pretty sure every photographer is guilty of this exact line.) I never ever took photos of myself, EVER.
But once I started shooting boudoir I knew I needed to put myself in my clients shoes, get out of my comfort zone. Now (as you know heheh) I'm in front of the camera A LOT. Clothed, naked, half naked- I love it all. So when I say what I do will boost your confidence, I speak from experience.
(My now addicted, multi-repeat clients can tell ya that too😉 )
Some Valentine's Day Goodness for your Sunday 🌹❤️

PART 1 of my International Women's Day is hereeee!! ✨
On February 8th at 6pm, booking will open for these STUNNING, floral minis 🌸
100% (Yup, you heard that right) of the session cost will be donated to My Sister's Place here in London!
These sessions are designed to be a little more relaxed, unposed to show case how beautiful you are just simply ✨existing✨
Session Details:
10 Minute Session
5 Digitals
1 Outfit
Light Glam with @tuniimakeup

This is only 1 part of 2 for my International Women's Day plans. Next announcement will be coming on February 19th! ✨🥰🌸
Let's talk gifting 🎁✨
Gifting photos and/or products from boudoir sessions is so popular and a good chunk of my clients do so.. but I think it's incredibly important to remember this experience is for YOU first.
You're the one who's going to be on cloud 9 leaving the studio, you're the one that's going to have a head start on your self love journey, it's more important that you're wearing outfits YOU love as opposed to just one's your partner will love.
These spicy photos being a gift is just a bonus.
YOU deserve this pampering, YOU are worthy of celebration. So if you're gifting, I urge you to shift your perspective to a "me first" view! ✨ Let yourself fully indulge in this powerful art form!
*For timelines when ordering products for a certain date, shoot me a dm & I will send you over the pdf with all those details!

That girl that you keep comparing yourself with? She has insecurities too.
You want a bigger bum, she wishes she had a smaller one.
You hate your nose and envy hers? Well she's thinking the same thing.
You wish you had curly hair? Some curly gals would kill to have pin straight hair.
I say this to remind you that comparison is such a killer of confidence, of joy.
The way someone else looks will NEVER take away from your own beauty, so it's not worth pinning yourself up against your ideals. The reality is that there's a lot about our appearance that we can't change & spending our precious mental energy picking ourselves apart instead of putting it towards healing, is energy wasted.
There's no one else out there that's exactly like you, and if that's not the coolest fucking thing you've ever heard- idk what is🤭

Benefits to choosing a boudoir photographer with an extensive/inclusive client closet:
✨ the ability to try on without commitment
✨ it saves you the stress of having to focus on what size you’re ordering
✨ in person shopping options for lingerie are limited and online can be a gamble with bad return policies
✨ 2 different styles that are from the same place and are labelled as the same size can fit completely differently, you wouldn’t know this until purchasing both
✨ you’re able to try on pieces you wouldn’t typically gravitate towards (you may just find your new fave colour👀)
✨ you get advice & opinions from unbiased eyes. We’re always our own worst critic, it helps to be around a lingerie expert🙋🏼♀️
✨being able to try on 10, 15, 20 things really helps you find what you feel best in
✨it’s like playing dress up
✨ they’ve searched high and low for the best styles/colours that fit to their style so you can trust anything in their closet will photograph well
I wanted to share I message I got from a client after leaving her session because it really did get me in my feels..
"Jess, I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you. I know my digitalis aren’t ready and I haven’t seen them, but I cannot adequately express how much I appreciate you and what you do for us (women). I have been on this journey of healing and learning to be okay with taking up more space and it’s been a wild ride. But after today, I have felt so many emotions, ones that more particularly feel incredibly cathartic. What you do transcends art and really is a form of therapy. So, thank you, for helping me feel like my body and mind feel like home again."
THIS right here is why I do what I do, to be able to impact women is such a meaningful, life changing way is something I will seriously never get used to or tired of. 🖤
