From Insecure to “Damn, That’s Me!” — A Boudoir Glow-Up Story

You’re scrolling, maybe sipping wine (or stress-sipping coffee—no judgment), and you land on my page. You keep thinking, “Maybe one day. When I lose the weight. When I feel more confident. When I’m ready.”

Girl. THIS is your sign to stop waiting.

Because that’s exactly where one of my recent clients was. She’d been toying with the idea of a boudoir session. Scoping out Kansas City photographers, weighing prices, wondering if she’d ever feel “good enough” to do something like this. And then—bam.

She found House of Divulged.

“I stumbled on the website and started looking at photos, prices, packages… and the fact that I’d be the only client scheduled that day sealed the deal. Once I talked to Tara, I knew it was time.”

(Hi, it’s me, your future hype woman.)

But let’s keep it real—booking the session is just the first step. Walking into the studio with insecurities? Totally normal.

“I’d been struggling with my confidence and body image. I felt insecure, ugly, and was sure my stomach wasn’t flat enough and my thighs were huge.”

Sound familiar? Yeah. Most of us have been there.

And yet… here’s where the shift starts.

She stepped into hair and makeup. The nerves started to fade. The music came on. The outfits came out. And then came the first shot.

“🔥🔥🔥🔥 Oh my goodness, as I went set to set, my confidence started to increase. I got the hype that I could be photographed all day—and I was feeling myself ❤️”

Can we get a standing ovation for that booty shot moment?

“I think it was the first booty shot I was shown 🔥🔥🔥”

It’s always the booty shots, isn’t it?

Confidence isn’t something you have—it’s something you claim.

By the time she saw her images for the first time, the transformation was undeniable:

“I thought to myself, ‘Is this really me?’ I was so excited to show my husband—but I couldn’t, because it was his birthday gift!”

(10/10 gift idea, by the way.)

But here’s my favorite part…

“Every time I look back at my photos or products, I get a confidence boost. I’ve already done another session—and I’ve got one booked for August 2025!”

YES, babe. That’s how it’s done. Confidence isn’t one-and-done. It’s a journey. And boudoir? It’s your permission slip to stop shrinking and start showing up.
