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.

With all of us being stuck in the house due to COVID-19, naturally, we are all also bingeing on the newest shows on Netflix and Hulu. Beware: there will be spoilers on Netflix’s hottest debut of Love Is Blind. We’re not here to talk about Jessica, but rather a specific scene between Giannina and Damian. During one of Gigi’s many self-sabotaging scenes, she confesses to Damian that she has lost her butterflies. I was sitting on the couch with my husband and matter-of-factly shouted out, “Girl, those butterflies are dead and are never coming back”. My husband looked over at me absolutely broken and said, “Your butterflies are dead?”

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.

Asif and Nicki are the husband/wife team and founders of The Boudoir Studio. Asif is one of our very talented photographers and Nicki is affectionately known as our studio mom and studio manager. 19 years and 4 kids later… these two highschool sweethearts recount their love story by giving us both of their perspectives on defining moments that happened early on in their relationship.

Check out Asif and Nicki’s Love Story:

Even though Valentine’s Day is over, love is still in the air. Andrea is one of our amazing photographers here at The Boudoir Studio! When she is not here at the studio she is busy raising her 3 kids with her husband Zach. This week, she shares with us the serendipitous way Zach came in and out of her life which ultimately ended with them being together. I guess it is true when they say, “If you love somebody, let them go . . . if they return, they were always yours”.

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:

One of my most memorable boudoir photography moments is when a client of mine described me as a gay bestie to my wife during a PhotoShop (reveal) appointment. I don’t think anyone could’ve paid me any higher of a compliment than that. What’s amazing is that she. . .

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:
