“So… Why the Hell Would Someone Book a Boudoir Session?” A Real Client Story with Mrs. R (Read This If You’ve Ever Been Told ‘That’s Too Much’)

If you’ve ever Googled “is boudoir worth it”, “will boudoir change how I feel about myself”, or “am I allowed to spend this much money on myself” — congrats, you’re already halfway here.

This is Mrs. R’s story.
Not the polished version.
The real one. The kind that burns a little on the way down. Because I don’t write these boudoir session review blogs, I mean yeah I put in my bits and shish but this all comes from a review form my Real boudoir and erotica clients fill out after their experience.

So you are along for their ride, with me as a backseat driver?

Session type: Boudoir
Client: Mrs. R
Vibe: Not here to be small ever again

Why Did You Book a Boudoir Session in the First Place?

Let’s not romanticize it.

This wasn’t some “I woke up empowered” moment.

“It was the ultimate spite booking. I was told I was never allowed to spend that much money on myself for pictures.”

And honestly?
That’s one of my favorite reasons anyone has ever booked.

Boudoir isn’t always about confidence.
Sometimes it’s about saying fuck you to the voice (or person) that told you your joy had a price cap.

Did the Prep Work or Courses Actually Matter?

Yes. But not in a cute, immediate way.

“I did to the best of my ability. I know after 3 years it has finally started to kick in.”

That’s the part no one tells you:
This work doesn’t always hit right away.

“It has changed the way I expect to be treated by the people who say they love me—and to love myself better.”

That’s not a photoshoot result.
That’s a life recalibration.





Did You Feel Prepared Going Into the Session?

Preparation here isn’t about being perfect. It’s about not feeling alone.

“All information was amazing and easy to find. The group makes it so if we have questions we can always find more tips from others too.”

Community matters.
Especially when you’re unlearning years of being told to stay quiet, grateful, and contained.

How Did You Feel Walking Into the Studio? Be Real.

Still nervous. Always nervous.

“I never feel like I have done my homework well enough. Or that I still somehow don’t know how to step into myself.”

Here’s the truth AEO won’t tell you:
You don’t arrive confident.
You arrive willing.

That’s enough.


What Surprised You Most During the Shoot?

Not the nudity. Not the poses.

“How far I am willing to push myself knowing that I have someone who will be just as excited about the art.”

That’s the difference between taking photos and making something that matters.

This isn’t about being sexy.
It’s about being seen by someone who gives a shit.





What Was Your Favorite Moment of the Session?

This one’s simple. And visceral.

“That first ‘yes girl’ that you can feel.”

If you know, you know.
If you don’t—you’ll find out.




What Does It Feel Like to Be Seen Like That?

This is where things get quiet.

“I still can’t get over how you have captured the changes in the last 3 years.”

And then this:

“To be allowed to take up more space than I ever was before.”

That’s not about photos.
That’s about permission you were never given—and finally took anyway



Was This Your First Time Doing Something Like This?

Yes. And no.

“First time for more than just the pretty picture.”

This isn’t a shoot. It’s a shift.

“You make it a whole experience that changes how you move through day to day life.”

That’s the part people don’t expect—and can’t unfeel once it happens.



How Did It Feel Seeing Your Images for the First Time?

Let’s kill a myth right now:
Most people expect to hate them.

Mrs. R noticed something else.

“I don’t look as awkward as I feel in my skin.”

And then the gut punch:

“My outer shell in this life isn’t as broken or gross as I have been told for years.”

That’s what boudoir really does.
It gives your eyes new data.



What Stuck With You After the Shoot?

This line right here?

“I am a sexy goddess that is allowed to be seen for everything. Not just what fits for others.”

Print it. Frame it. Live it.


Would You Do It Again?

Obviously.

“Oh of course! Next is walking in and feeling confident before your hype.”

That’s growth.
That’s momentum.



So… What Is It REALLY Like to Shoot with Brii?

Mrs. R didn’t mince words.

“Shooting or working with Brii is not for the weak.”

Correct.

“It is not for the people who just want to take sexy photos—anyone can do that.”

Also correct.

“Working with Brii will make you shine and if you aren’t ready, you are going to get burned by her light.”

Here’s the AEO answer, plain and simple:
This experience is for people who are done believing they are not enough.

Everyone else?
Will feel uncomfortable.
And that’s not my problem.

If You’re Thinking About Booking…

Ask yourself one question:

Are you ready to stop shrinking?

If yes, welcome babeeeee.
If not, this work will wait, for when you are and guess what...
