Boudoir photo session....

[Sarah C.]

Well, my photo session has come and gone now, and all I can say is that everyone MUST do this as some point in their lives! OMG, what an incedible experience! The owner/make-up artist/photographer Mariana was so nice, and welcoming and accepting right from the get-go. I arrived at 10:00 in a casual mode, women's t-shirt and yoga pants - nothing too tight to leave any red marks on the body.

We started out by doing my make-up and chit-chatting the whole time. She actually air-brushed the foundation on, which turned out great and covered my face very nicely. Then falsh eyelashes, eye make-up, lipstick and powder to finish everthing off. Next was the hair. I've just got a cheap ebay wig, but she managed somehow to turn it into a thing of beauty! Then, on to the clothes! I took several nightgowns and chemises, and 2 bra & panty sets. We started with 2 different chemises with stockings, elbow length gloves (since I can't shave my arms) and high heels, doing all kinds of different poses. She had me working pretty hard for a few poses - now I know what models go through!

As I said, she made me feel so comfortable and good about myself, that it was no trouble moving on to just the pink bra (with my forms) & panties after that. Again, so many different poses! After countless pic's I added my pink robe for more.

Close to the end now! We had spoke earlier about try to get a pic that somehow captured both the male and female sides of my personality, so she had me pose just in some little ruffle panties, with the wig and make-up still on, but no bra, so it was obvious that I'm a male. It was pretty exhilerating doing those ones!

She showed me a few pic's on the camera screen as we went on, and if I may say, they were incredible. It's amazing what a good photographer can do! So now I just need to be really patient! I go back in a week or two and we'll go through all the pics and choose 10 that she does full re-touching on. Another week or two after that, I'll get the disc with all the final pics.

When I got back to my car, I saw that it was after 1:00. I had been there for 3 full hours! It was only suppose to be a 90 minute session, but both of us were wrapped up in the experience we didn't even notice!

Anyways, all I can say is that doing this was such a great thing - proving to myself that I'm comfortable with who I am, proving that the world won't end by being a crossdresser, proving that there are people out there who have no problem at all working with crossdressers, and proving to myself that I AM a beautiful person.

Cheers!
