Treat Yourself To Self Care With A Boudoir Session at Valerie Visser Studios

Ladies, It's Time We Start Doing Things For Ourselves Too!

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy for us to get caught up in the daily grind. We put our own well-being on the back burner. We all do it! Even when we don't realize it!

Neglecting self-care can lead to physical and emotional burnout, affecting your overall quality of life. Let's be real ladies, none of us want that! 

Putting your needs and self care first, needs to be a priority!

Embracing a boudoir session at Valerie Visser Studios is what many of our clients have done to take control of their own well being! 

It really is the best gift you could ever give to yourself!!

Miss B had been following Valerie's work for awhile!

Like many, nerves and a busy life held her back from embracing a session sooner! 

 

 Take a moment and picture yourself as a cup, your daily responsibilities and commitments are the water pouring out of it. Constantly, all day, every day! You can't keep pouring indefinitely without replenishing. That's why self-care is crucial—it's the act of filling your cup back up.

Even in the moments leading up to her session Miss B was nervous, like most clients, but quickly those nerves went away bit by bit! 

 

 

"I was extremely nervous and had to listen to “pump up” music before my session to get in that nothing is above me zone.

I started to doubt myself but when I walked in the studio and was greeted so kindly I felt like I was more confident.

I felt like the workers had faith that I was gonna rock the session so that made me feel the same way!"

 

 

We loved watching her ideas blossom to life all throughout her session as she stepped more and more out of her comfort zone as the day went on.

Don't you deserve to feel your best too? Take time each day for yourself!

 

 

More thoughts from Miss B from the perspective of being a Mom:

"I have always been very hard on myself when it comes to physical appearance as most women are. I filled my head with so much negativity that I believed it. After I had my daughter I worked so hard to change my mindset so she would learn to view herself in a positive way and embrace all of what makes her her, but how could I expect that from her if I couldn’t do it myself? I like many other women had a c section and stretch marks and had mixed feelings about the changes in my body, but I have since tried to embrace them. I workout and have gotten healthier but I’m still not where I want to be but that’s okay because every day is a work in progress. With that being said getting my pictures done was the next step in my journey to love myself a little more. To step out of my comfort zone. To embrace all the things I disliked. When I tell you the pictures did that and so much more it was absolutely mind blowing and still almost two weeks later I think about the pictures I saw of myself and can’t believe it’s me. Comfortably ME!"

With a Boudoir Session at Valerie Visser Studios in Potsdam you too can experience the confidence boost, empowerment and self love that we all desire!

Miss B left her day on cloud 9!

 

 

She chose Valerie Visser Studios because:

"I loved the work I saw online!

It was a huge bonus that makeup and hair was included and the payment plan was very accommodating. 

That sealed the deal for me."

 

A few final thoughts:

"Throughout the session I felt on top of the world. Valerie showed me pictures on her camera through the session and each one gave me more confidence In myself. Even the parts I don’t particularly love about myself I found beauty in and that feeling had carried over into the days after my session.

I’ve never felt so comfortable in my skin and I think I needed this shoot more than I realized I did."

Whatever you decide to do for yourself, start doing it now! 

Ultimately, your well-being forms the foundation upon which everything else rests. It's not just about treating yourself occasionally; it's about weaving self-care into the very fabric of your daily existence. By making self-care a central part of your life, you're not only honoring yourself but also setting the stage for positive changes in your relationships, work, and overall happiness.

So, embark on this journey of self-care, and witness the beautiful ripple effect it has on your world.
