My husband loved his gift, and I loved how confident I felt after. Andraya was so great to work with and made me feel so comfortable! If you're thinking of doing a boudoir shoot, just take the plunge and do it! I thought about it for years and can't believe I waited so long!
This experience started off as what was supposed to be a birthday gift for my husband. What it turned into was an empowering experience that helped me to love my post baby body!
Now, It has been challenging for me when dealing with self-confidence, but i knew this would be a good step out of my comfort zone and to do something fun and new for me and my fiance. I am so happy I took that step with Andraya. She is the most uplifting, caring, and ultimate hype woman! She makes you feel incredible, comfortable, and absolutely beautiful. She really helps you feel like a goddess. The result photos definitely captured that too! My jaw dropped when I saw the, I barely recognized myself because I looked so confident. I am incredibly grateful to her for the ultimate experience!! I know my fiance thanks her too!
I reached out to Andraya an her company - Southern Wander Boudoir not knowing what to fully expect. I did go through her online portfolio and reached to some friends who went through with a photoshoot. I was nothing bgut impressed! They raved about their experie nces, and said it was one of the most natgural experiences. I was sold!
I was so excited and hopeful when I booked my boudoir shoot with Andraya! As time passed and the shoot got closer, I started to get so nervous! I knew that even just doing something like this was a massive accomplishment! I was so anxious showing up the morning of the shoot, and immediately Andraya put all of my worries and fear to rest. I felt confident, sexy, and just absolutely empowered. Which are things I hadn't felt in a really long time. When I saw my shots, I was at an absolute loss for words. I would look at all of them again and again and again, just unable to process that, that was me. I did that. It was everything I hoped for and more! These are images I will cherish forever. I will always be grateful to Andraya who not only pushed me outside of my comfort zone to do something that I typically wouldn't, but who never let me think that I was anything less than incredible. This experience gave me my confidence back
Leading up to it I was excited, but kind of anxious! I've seen Andraya's photographs and I knew she'd do an amazing job, but the idea of being in lingerie in front of a camera was making me nervous. As all the girls say, Andraya is an angel and made the shoot an absolute dream. She gave me such good direction and made me feel so at ease. The waiting game began. I think I was most anxious to see if I'd like the images, because I can't say I've ever loved myself in photos. I always find something wrong, but HOLY SMOKES. I just kept staring at the images thinking "this is me, like actually me". Wow. To be told your beautiful is one thing, but to feel it is incredible. Andraya helped me to feel that and I am forever thankful.
When Planning my wedding, I knew I wanted a "special" gift for my husband! I wanted something different and spicy, just for him! How nice would it be to get pampered and show off your sexy better than with boudoir?!? Confidence and empowerment! I wanted to show my love and sexiness and feel good about giving it! A big celebration of us! A nice book of me was the perfect gift!
When I say bomb, I mean BOMB!! Magic at it's finest! Andraya took my want and turned it into reality! I have absolutely no complaints when it comes to this photoshoot! The Energy, the mood, the e ncouragement...it all comes at ease from her! I felt so confident "taking it off!!" She made me feel HOT! Everyone needs a session in their life! The photos, the memories, the reaction from the hubs!
I scheduled this boudoir shoot as a surprise for my fiance. I was excited to do something that was out of the box for me and something I didn't think he'd expect. The day of, I was nervous and anxious all morning, but once I got there Andraya put set me at ease with everything. During the shoot, I felt confidence and sexy. She showed me a few pictures as she took them and seeing them was just WOW! I felt sexy, but actually seeing myself look sexy and confident was amazing. Once I got the finished gallery, I could not find the words to describe how I felt. I was amazed at myself, at how they turned out, and still can't believe that is me! What started out as a surprise for my fiance, ended up being a surprise for myself. I don't know how I'm going to keep this a secret from him until the wedding. I'm so extremely happy that I did this and I'll always have these photos to look back on!
I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my husband's birthday! He is my biggest hype man and always makes me feel beautiful, even when I don't feel that way. I wanted to show him that the way he has loved and taken care of me has made me more confident than ever before.
On the day of the shoot I was WAY more nervous than I thought I would be, but Andraya made everything so relaxed and comfortable! I never felt like a didn't know what I was doing, and the whole experience was so much fun! When I got my pictures I kept thinking "oh my gosh, this isn't me!!" Andraya had a magic way of bringing out the sexy part of me that I didn't even know I had! My pictures came out so amazing and I am OBSESSED and I cannot wait to show my husband!!
I've always been a bit insecure about my body. And when I spent years letting someone tear me down, telling me I wasn't hot enough. That I was just average. I didn't believe I could pull off a shoot like this. Even though I had started embracing my body for the way it was, I was still so nervous but when it came time to get into I felt empowered! From trying on all my outfits before the shoot right down to actually doing the damn thing - I felt empowered. Andraya was my hype man the entire time, She put on my favorite music, helped me loosen up and we really had fun with it! When I got all the pictures back I was shocked. I didn't think I could look like that. Andraya truly made my vision come to life. I am forever grateful for her sweet soul and helping me in the process of loving myself and my body again <3
I decided to do a boudoir shoot so that I can make my fiances jaw drop one last time before he became a married man. I also thought it would be an awesome and fun way to let go whi8le dealing with all the hecticness of wedding planning and I was not disappointed!! I showed up the day of the photoshoot a little more nervous than I had expected, but that all changed the second I met Andraya! She's the type of person you meet and you feel like you've known your whole life. She makes you feel so comfortable and confident with yourself. I was strutting around the studio in some cut little undies in no time! My advise to any newlywed is to seriously consider doing a boudoir shoot with Andraya because it reminds you how hot you are and what your man fell in love with! I got my pictures and instantly fell in love with myself and my body all over again.It's taking everything in me to keep this a surpirse for my man, but it defitnely will be worth the wait and I have Andraya to thank!
I wanted to do a boudoir session to celebrate my weight loss journey - since last march of 2018 I've lost about 150 pounds. I was also told it helps to boost your confidence to have a photoshoot done and a confidence boost was definitely something that I needed! The day of my photoshoot I was super excited and extremely nervous, but the moment I met Andraya she brought me out of my shell almost immediately - the mimosas also helped! What I loved most about the photoshoot was that I felt like a WOMAN! I felt a sense of of myself come back after having the wife and mother title for so long. Andraya was so amazking to work with! She was patient with me the entire time, made me feel extremely comfortable, and lifted my spirits while reassuring me that my session would be a sucess! The night I got my pictures I downloaded them straight away and fell in love with them. I'm finally at a place in life where I love myself and see my uniqueness as beautiful. I hope anyone who is on the fence about a boudoir session makes the leap and just foes for it!
I've always compared myself to other women. I wanted to do a boudoir shoot so I'd stop comparing myself & just love myself for who I am, while also growing self-confidence. & thats exactly what the shoot brought me to do - to love my body for how it is. Working with Andraya on my boudoir portait session was fantastic. This is not the kind of things I'd do, so I was nervous about it. She guided me through all of the preparations and overall just made me feel comfortable while reassuring me that it was going to be fun & a great experienece creating intimate portraits. & it was!!! I felt great, and I felt that I looked great, which made me feel confident and ready to embrace this adventure. Andraya has such an easy way about her, and she makes everything seem effortless. When I first looked at my photos tears formed in my eyes. The images I received were beyond my wildest imagination. It's truly the greatest thing you can gift to yourself.
