From Surviving to Slaying: How This Boudoir Session Helped Her Reclaim Confidence After the Hardest Year of Her Life

Let’s be real—life doesn’t exactly roll out a red carpet for healing.

It tests you. Breaks you down. Pushes you past your limits.

But sometimes, in the middle of picking up the pieces, you decide to do something radical. Something for YOU. Not your ex, not your kids, not the version of yourself that everyone else expects to show up—but for the woman who’s still standing.

That’s exactly what this incredible woman did when she booked her latest session with House of Divulged, your favorite Kansas City boudoir photographer.

And babe, she owned every second of it.

Not for him. Not for anyone else. Just for her.

“I had done prior sessions for someone else and this time knew I wanted to do a session for ME!!!”

Let’s give that the standing ovation it deserves. 👏

Because this wasn’t about proving anything. This was about reclaiming her joy, her smile, and her sexy after a year that would’ve broken most people.

This session followed the worst year of her life…

Overnight, she became a single mom.

She re-entered the dating world—spoiler alert: it’s brutal out here.

She wrestled with worth, self-doubt, and a body image battle that started years before.

But still… she chose her.

“I had become a single mom overnight and was not prepared for the world of online dating. I was struggling to know my worth. This session reminded me what I have to offer—inside and out.”

Plus-size. Full heart. And a whole lot of frosting.

If you’ve ever worried that boudoir isn’t for you because of your size—let this be your permission slip.

“I’m a plus-size girl that has struggled with body image for years.”

But here’s the thing—confidence doesn’t come from a number on the scale.

It comes from doing the scary thing anyway. From letting yourself be seen. From embracing joy, sass, and (in this case) a fully frosted booty.

“This was the most fun I’ve had with Tara. I mean… if she hasn’t frosted and sprinkled your booty, you’re miss out. 😂😂”

The first image that made her stop in her tracks?

The birthday set. Holding a cake. Radiating confidence.

“The first time she showed me pics on her camera—the ones where I was holding the cake—I thought, ‘Damn, this is even better than I had envisioned!!’”

And from that moment on, the transformation wasn’t just in the photos. It was in her posture. Her energy. Her smile.

Let’s talk about that smile.

“I’m known for my smile… so when I shared that I wanted more smiling shots this time, Tara was totally on board. These are definitely my favorite pics ever.”

And it shows.

Because confidence doesn’t have one look. It doesn’t come with a resting pout face and lingerie.

It comes with comfort. Joy. Real, radiant you.

What would she say to the women watching from the sidelines?

“DO IT. Don’t wait until you lose the last 15 pounds. Don’t wait until you have the extra money. Tara offers so many payment options to make it easy.”
“Do it for YOU—because you deserve it. I promise you won’t regret it.”

If you’ve been creeping on this page, saving posts, whispering “maybe someday”

Let this be the moment you stop waiting.

You don’t need to earn this. You just need to say yes.

Your future self will thank you every time she looks at the photos and thinks:
“Wow. That’s me.”
