Linsay
“Amy again made me realize what a goddess I am. I saw myself through her eyes. I was beautiful, I am beautiful. I found Linsay during the photo shoot and I don’t want to let her go.”
(Linsay was a model for my website’s video in 2020. I have photographed her multiple times and she is one of the most radiant humans I know. So full of love and beautiful characteristics. I am so thankful to be able to offer same-day image reveals so no one ever has to feel the way Linsay did after her session. I want you to know RIGHT AWAY that your photos are better than you could even imagine.)
Her words:
After I left the photo shoot, I started picking apart my body. Thinking about how the pictures will make me look, I got super depressed. I went to see Amy and it was so hard to pick the pictures but I saw myself through her eyes. I was beautiful, I am beautiful.
I found Linsay during the photo shoot and I don’t want to let her go.
I am leaving an abusive relationship. I lost Linsay somewhere. We separated a year ago and I couldn’t find my own beauty yet she was here.
I write a blog “soul searching in a body you hate” and it’s about breaking the trauma that keeps me bound.
Amy is a huge reason why I started the blog along with other powerful women reminding me of my worth.
I still struggle with my body but I will continue breaking years of self abuse and try and see myself the way Amy’s lens sees me. A few years ago I wrote a poem for the ‘Just Me’ photo shoot series and as I was reading it, it made me think of my last photo shot. Because Amy again made me realize what a goddess I am.
“What we fail to realize, is that who we allow in our sacred space are the ones who should feel honored. We are goddesses that were created to carry the burdens that many would parish from the weight.”

I felt really supported and seen and she and her team worked to make sure that I felt like the best version of myself that felt true to me. It was fun and joyful and my photos are amazing.
I didn't realize how much the outfit curation and makeup and hair experience would really make this feel special and make me feel like a powerful, embodied version of my best self -- the way I feel my best, not the way society says my "best" should be. I felt seen and supported and it was so fun!

It was so powerful to see my own beauty through another person's eyes […] I've been so self-conscious before, and now I feel more in charge of my own beauty, whether it's wearing lingerie or sweatpants, in full-on makeup or fresh-faced!
The images exceeded anything that I could have expected! It was so powerful to see my own beauty through another person's eyes; I don't think I've ever felt so glamorous or camera-ready before.
This boudoir session was just one more step for me in my own personal journey of accepting myself and feeling comfortable in my own sexiness. It was definitely a big step--I've been so self-conscious before, and now I feel more in charge of my own beauty, whether it's wearing lingerie or sweatpants, in full-on makeup or fresh-faced!

“I’ve done two shoots with Amy and each one was a beautiful blessing to my soul. She is great at capturing natural beauty and making your heart happy all at the same time.”

I was expecting to feel super nervous and awkward but I felt completely calm and at peace! […] I wasn't expecting to LOVE my photos. I've spent so much time picking apart the things I don't like about my body or covering up but Amy did such a great job encouraging me
“I was expecting to feel super nervous and awkward during the session since I've never done something like it before. But I felt completely calm and at peace! And excited! And I know this isn't kind to say about myself, but I wasn't expecting to LOVE my photos. I've spent so much time picking apart the things I don't like about my body or covering up but Amy did such a great job encouraging me and capturing incredible photos.”

It was so much less intimidating than I thought it would be! It was fun and empowering! I'm now telling everyone to try it! It did help my confidence. A lot.

The comfort I felt was actually next level & exceeded my expectations! But the best part is that THE IMAGES LOOK LIKE ME. I see my true self in these images. Not heavily doctored Photoshop or weird angles to hide my true self, but these are actually ME! And I look flawless!
The comfort I felt was actually next level & exceeded my expectations! The final sheet shoot was a great example - I just stripped down outside of the dressing room really quickly without issue. That's how comfortable I was with you & your assistant by the very end of the shoot.

By the very end I left feeling on top of the world! Almost as if I could achieve anything! It wasn’t just about a sexy picture. It was about capturing all the beautiful parts of me and making me feel more than just a mother in a nursing bra and sweatpants.
I am forever grateful for Amy’s generous boudoir experience. It’s something I will never forget and can’t wait to do again!
With that said I wanted to share my story so that maybe it will reach out and touch another woman struggling.
I had reached a point where I felt like I didn’t know who I was anymore. It felt as if I was a shell of a person. All of who I was had disappeared. During the course of my mid 20’s and into turning 30 I spent time being pregnant and raising 4 little boys. My new every day outfit turned into sweatpants, a nursing bra and an oversized shirt. Nothing screams sexier than that, right?!
My whole world turned into taking care of these tiny humans who needed to be nurtured and cared for. But what I didn’t realize is that I forgot about taking care of myself.
After I had our twins and going through some of the hardest things in my life I hit rock bottom.
I didn’t want to feel like I was nothing.
There was a small part of who I used to be reaching out to be brought to the light.
Amy’s warm smile and beautiful images caught my attention. By a long shot I was chosen to be celebrated and given a once in a lifetime opportunity.
As soon as I walked through the door my soul had already brightened and the weight I was carrying on my shoulders lightened. I was so at ease.
But can we talk about the hair and makeup for a second! I felt so special and beautiful. My pictures speak for themselves on the amazing skill that went into my hair and makeup.
And then Amy helped me go through the outfits I brought. Guiding me into what she thought would work and her ideas.
She was the biggest hype girl I’ve ever had. Boosting my confidence over and over again.
And slowly during every transition and photo the parts I had forgotten about of who I was as a person started to emerge.
By the very end I left feeling on top of the world! Almost as if I could achieve anything!
The cherry on top was getting to pick out and see all of the beautiful parts of me that shined through the photos.
It wasn’t just about a sexy picture. It was about capturing who I was and making me feel more than just a mother in a nursing bra and sweatpants.
I can’t thank Amy and her team enough for gifting me something so priceless.

I went in nervous and not sure what to expect. I left feeling confident. I got to see my photos after my session. I cried tears of happiness. They turned out so amazing and I have never get better about myself. It helped me realize that even after having two kids that I’m still beautiful.

It helped me to see those things that I grew up hating in a more positive light and to appreciate what my body has accomplished. I am very harsh on my physical self, which also affects my mental self; so to improve both, I have been trying to lose weight and stay in the positive mindset. At the time of my photoshoot, I had lost about 20 lbs from my pre-baby weight; so when I saw the images, I started to see the difference that everyone else was telling me that they saw. It has motivated me to keep working on myself in a positive way; it isn't about being skinny or losing weight, it is about being healthy and happy!
