One of my favorite things about my boudoir sessions is getting to know each and every clients story. I’m always curious about their lives and what brought them to do a shoot with me. And, I am always fascinated at how utterly amazing these women are! Mrs. N was no exception. This mother of 4 (FOUR!!!) looked fantastic, but she said it wasn’t always that way. She had recently been able to lose some weight…not an easy feat, as we all know. And she didn’t just lose weight, she really toned up and is now in optimal condition! In fact, she was able to lose about 40 lbs, and has lost over 50% bodyfat! Holy moly, that rocks! Doing our shoot was a great way to celebrate all of her hard work for sure! Congratulations Mrs. K for your success and for being an incredible woman!
Here’s a little something Mrs. N shared with me (and gave me permission to share with you all) about her story:
After struggling with depression for a few years and then realizing how very out of shape I was, I finally decided to do something about it. I joined a gym, hired a trainer and in less than 2 years I’m in the best physical and emotional health of my life. I hadn’t worked out a day in my life prior to the age of 40, I had no clue what I was doing, I relied on my trainer, my hubby and other support systems to learn from and lean on. I got to a point where I was very happy with my results and wanted to have some photos done to “showcase” my hard work, that’s when I happened upon Stacie’s site, “Haute Shots”.
I had the most fun at the shoot, Stacie and the girls from Hera Beauty, Whitney and Kat were wonderful! What was even more surprising to me was how happy I was with so many of the shots, even before the photoshop process! I’m finally where I wanted to be, I’m finally who I was meant to be all along, and I know it’s such a cliche but if I can do it, anyone can, I was the queen of excuses!
My next goal is to become certified in Personal Training so I can enhance my knowledge and perhaps help others, women especially, reach their fitness and nutrition goals to be who they want to be. I’ve registered for my class and hopefully will reach that goal by mid year. This is what worked for me and what I wanted, it doesn’t mean this is what everyone wants, or should want. You have to look within yourself and be completely honest with yourself about who you want to be, and how you want that person to appear, and then go for it. Be who you’re meant to be!
You are such an inspiration Mrs. N! Thank you!
