Another amazing local business on the blog today featuring Market Seafood LLC. Co-owned by Jessica Feldman, a past client of ours, along with her awesome hubby Zach.

It is an honor to introduce a local small business owner to you, who is so near and dear to our hearts: Tiffany of Tiffany Loveless Makeup Artistry.

What is a Wonder Woman? She is so much more than just a guest blogger. . . she is opening up the world to her story of challenges and regrowth. Megan sought out The Boudoir Studio to mark an important time in her life. . . the reinvention of herself. Her inspiring story takes us through the fateful morning where she woke up and decided to change every aspect of her life. It took great bravery for Megan to leave a miserable marriage, change jobs and focus on her children all while dropping some serious weight along the way.

Here’s what she has to say:

Women hold such an important role within our society because they often lend a major hand in child rearing and forming us all into who we are today. Whether she is your mother, grandmother, aunt, or sister everyone can count on at least one woman who shaped who they are today! Because it is Women History Month and were all self-quarantining here in Upstate NY, let’s shine the light in the incredible women in our lives. The team at The Boudoir Studio reflect on the important women in our lives.

We are so excited about 2020 and have been thinking about this year for quite sometime. We have perfect 20/20 vision on what we want our year to look like and it is bigger than anything we’ve ever done before!

We have set the goal to empower 200 women this year through our boudoir photography!!

Hopefully, your Christmas shopping is done and you can now look into the future! That is what we have been doing, here, at The Boudoir Studio. We have perfect 20:20 vision on to what our new year is going to look like and it is bigger than anything we’ve ever done before! It is our goal to empower 200 women this year through our boudoir photography which means we are going to be running a new promotion for EVERY MONTH of 2020!!!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, what better time to reflect on all that we should be grateful for? A few weeks ago our guest blogger, Jes Lyn, wrote about how much practicing gratitude can change one’s mindset. I have to be honest, I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind! If you need a refresher, check out our most recent wonder woman article “Messy to Mindset Master” to learn more about her story.

Upon further investigation, practicing gratitude benefits not only our mental health and emotional intelligence, but also our physical health. . .

What is a Wonder Woman? She is so much more than just a guest blogger. . . she is opening up the world to her story of challenges and regrowth. Jes Lyn is no stranger here at The Boudoir Studio, she has done 2 boudoir sessions, a fitness photoshoot, and a branding session for her new business! Her inspiring story takes us through how she has overcome a difficult relationship, put an end to partying, is now managing multiple businesses and finally mastering her mindset. She is living proof that anyone can change their life to create more abundance and joy for themselves. Here’s what she has to say:

Nearly 1 in 4 women have experienced severe physical violence from an intimate partner during their lifetime. Young women between the ages of 16 and 24 experience the highest rate of intimate partner violence — almost triple the national average. Violence against women is not limited to socioeconomic status, race, age, or cultural background. 4 million women each year are subjected to abuse committed by their male partners, intimate partner violence is defined as “a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors used to establish power and control over another person whom an intimate relationship has been shared”.

Healing after domestic violence is a lifelong journey of recognizing destructive behavior in one's self and in others, letting go of wrong placed guilt, forgiveness and listening to one’s intuition. Some of our own clients here at The Boudoir Studio have booked a session as a way to reclaim their power that was taken away by their abusers. Asif shares his personal story of how boudoir can be used as a tool for healing:

If you have had a boudoir session with us then you know. . . the experience is much more than just posing in front of the camera. Most of our clients are at the studio early getting pampered with hair and makeup, they get to know us and we get to know them. Every single client has been on some kind of journey that ended up with them arriving to us. Whatever journey they are on, one thing remains the same. Our studio offers a safe place for clients to open up about their journey in life and to be absolutely vulnerable with us. . .

If someone were to ask you to give up your children so that you can have your pre-baby body back (most days) your answer would be no. So here you are with no other choice but to accept your mom bod. Whether you are pregnant now, had a baby recently or three years ago, your body will never be the same! I am currently struggling with body image issues as I am now pregnant with my 2nd child. All the feelings of inadequacy have already rushed back even though I am barely halfway through pregnancy #2. So what better way to refresh my mind by reminding you and I to love our mom bods!?

We often hear stories of single mothers being born out of necessity and not by choice. It takes an incredible woman to take her future into her own hands and become a mother on her own terms. Lisa, our newest wonder woman, had a pivotal moment in her life and dared to take on the challenge. Lisa shares with us how her adopting journey unfolds while masterfully multitasking her 3 businesses that bring more love and joy into this world.

Here is her story:

In case you missed it a few weeks ago, the ladies here at The Boudoir Studio talked about how they imagined motherhood would be versus how it really is. If you want to catch up on our stories click here! It’s amazing the different views we all had and what major changes really took place.

What wasn’t covered, is how much your relationship can change with your spouse. . .

In this industry, we often hear many stories of women’s struggles and triumphs through-out their lives. Every so often, we come across. . .

My first encounter with mom shame was when I didn’t know how many words my two-year-old. . .
