Burn The Dress | La Crosse WI Boudoir

I would like to introduce you to my MOM, people, this is my mother. no jokes no lies. we talked about this session for months before we finally made it happen, and it was so worth the wait.

after my mom’s divorce was finalized, she told me she’d been holding onto her wedding dress so she could burn it when the time was right. healing journeys are constant, but this was the next step in her’s — a truly freeing experience. she chose a lingerie outfit from my client closet that made her feel sexy and powerful, and she started the session wearing the dress to really show her story.

a powerful queen.

taking off the dress, freeing herself, standing in her power and letting her confidence shine. BURN THAT SHIT MOMMA

and then, spark up. can’t waste those flames

the smile !!!!!!!!!!!! some of my fav photos from her entire session. my mom is truly so beautiful, and seeing her happy and confident and feeling herself was one of my favorite life experiences. to have been able to get MY MOM into a BOUDOIR SESSION, in the OUTDOORS no less… so sick.

the smoke bomb is the cherry on top. full sends only!!!

Alyssa's Boudie Babe Moment

Meet Alyssa: part time photographer and full time mama of 2. She booked her boudior session as a gift for herself, and spent the morning getting pampered, glammed, and hyped up in the studio until that gorgeous smile came out to play. Alyssa wanted to take this opportunity to love and cherish her body, to celebrate the changes motherhood has brought her, and to help heal parts of herself. Reframing the mindset of “bouncing back” after childbirth, and recognizing that we won’t ever look like our 18 year old selves again - and that’s okay, that’s exciting, that’s to be celebrated. She used her boudie session as a catalyst to fall in love with herself, to feel beautiful and confident and sexy. And she finished the session by sticking to her country girl roots!! Watching her confidence grow during the session was so special, and she should be so proud of herself for stepping out of her comfort zone to kill this boudoir shoot!
