    Imposter Syndrome

    Sometimes imposter syndrome can sneak up on you. Even though you know your shit!

    I am a part of an amazing cohort of Black Womxn business owners and we got to attend the National Minority Supplier Development Council’s conference in New Orleans. The amount of absolutely powerful and talented Black folxs I met in those 48 hours was mind-blowing.
    So mind-blowing that I started to doubt myself.
    Am I enough to be in their presence?
    My boyfriend set me straight immediately with a phone call, I needed that boost!

    Mashana’s Boudoir Experience

    What is one thing you always hear in the testimonials? I felt comfortable.
    Being comfortable enough to express all parts of your sensual personality is my goal.
    This brings me so much joy! Too often we are not able to love all parts of our bodies as it is now. Sometimes because of society.
    Sometimes because we don’t know-how.
    Sometimes because we have forgotten.
    At the end of the video, MaShana says, ” It felt freeing, fulfilling, comfortable and empowering. So you should do it.”

    Charmina’s Boudoir Experience

    “It brought out the sexiness in me that I didn’t think that I had. As ladies, as mothers, sometimes we forget about us because we’re taking care of the home, the husbands… we get put to the side.”

  • Boudoir Tips

    3 Boudoir Myths Debunked

    1. Boudoir is centered around the male gaze!
      I would have to say that there are more womxn boudoir photographers than men boudoir photographers. Many photographers see boudoir as a way to empower their clients. Contrary to society, women love to celebrate their bodies too. Yes, some women do a boudoir experience to keep the fire burning in their relationships or for a groom’s gifts. But overall my clients have been in a major  life transition and want to celebrate this new version of themselves. That has nothing to do with men.
    1. Only people with fit bodies should do a boudoir experience.
      This is simply not true at all!  All bodies are welcomed and encouraged to do boudoir experiences. Boudoir like sexy has no damn size! How ever you show up with your beautiful body is exactly what it should be. This is a time to celebrate you as you are.
    1. Only people who have modeled before should do boudoir experiences.
      WHAT, no! That is why you hire professional boudoir photographers. A professional boudoir photographer will understand what poses are flattering for your body. They will also guide you by showing you the poses first and make sure you are comfortable.

    Why would you suggest every Black womxn do their own boudoir experience?
    “Olesha is a professional who brings out the best in her clients. Her work is superb, some of the best photographs I’ve ever taken.”
