“I hadn’t felt “beautiful” in a long time”

This was my first shoot in underwear!! To say that I was nervous is an understatement. I was at the chunkiest I’ve ever been, I hadn’t felt “beautiful” in a long time. My dream as a little girl was to be a runway model, but at 5 feet tall that was NOT possible. Not with the expected standard of the modeling industry. This was a real chance to see how modeling really felt.  

When I pulled up to Beth’s studio I remember my legs shaking as I walked up to her studio. When the door opened I was greeted with the warmest aura and I instantly realized Beth was a genuine person. And not only beautiful on the outside. But even more so on the inside!  

I wanted to share to let Beth know how much of an impact just a simple photo shoot has had on my life, my self confidence, and how I see myself now. You are an inspiration, an uplifter, and a true spirit here on Earth.  Thank you for everything you do!

“By the end of the shoot I felt like I was the hottest woman on the planet!”

I had never done a photo shoot before and had no idea what to expect. I have no self esteem and have always hated my body. Going into this I was so nervous because I knew most of the clothes were coming off and I hate being so exposed. However, Beth was very welcoming and comforting, and she not only made me feel beautiful, but also comfortable, walking around with all of my "flaws" on display. I was walking around without a care in the world while I had no clothes on. I never thought that could happen.

I've been dying to do another shoot because I love Beth's work, and bc it made me feel so incredible. I haven't been able to get back yet, but I certainly plan on it. Thank you, Beth, for doing what you do, and for making women like me feel like we are beautiful no matter what.

“The moment I walked into the studio I was at ease.”

Before my shoot with Beth I had the self confidence of a sheep. I was searching for love, trying to be confident in myself. I think I did about 100 crunches and squats the night before, freaking out that I wasn’t in good enough shape to be wearing lingerie on camera. The moment I walked into the studio I was at ease. Beth showed me one of the first photos she took on her camera and I started to come alive.

I hope that you know what you give to each and every woman that has the pleasure of shooting with you. It might be different for each of us, sometimes the same. For me, I found myself and my self worth. I felt like a warrior. Thank you Beth.

“I really thought the pictures were for my hub… turns out they were for ME!”

What I didn't realize at the time my husband suggested a photo shoot with Beth was that it was TRULY going to launch an incredible period of self-discovery and self-value that continues to this day. I really thought the pictures were for my hub... turns out they were for ME - to regain my long-gone self-esteem and self VALUE.

I love looking most of all at my before & afters (which are on the website). Turns out I'm BOTH of those people - the harried mom who towel-dried her hair and ran to the store without makeup, AND the bombshell with the twinkle in her eye. Beth created a path for me to explore all of my diversity, and to see the value in myself in my entirety... I continue on that journey now every day, and know that putting myself first is what allows me to be a giving, soulful, creative person. What a gift, and Beth for you, and for that, I am forever grateful.

“The photos came out 100000000000000 times better than I ever expected.”

I started a weight loss journey and wanted to do something amazing for my fiancé (husband now). I was super nervous because I just couldn’t see what she was going to try to create. I had such a bad self image issue because of all the weight I had gained and how much work it was taking to take it off. Beth was so reassuring and kind while I was nervously emailing and messaging her up to the date of the shoot. When I got there I felt completely at home. We had such a blast together that time just FLEW by.

I was sooo excited to see the finished product that when she messaged me that it was ready I practically jumped out of my desk. When my husband opened his Christmas gift and saw the book he was taken aback by how beautifully Beth had captured me. Thank you Beth for creating an amazing atmosphere for women of all ages, sizes, cultures, and backgrounds to come together and just forget the day to day negativity. You’re a godsend for me and many other women out there.

“I felt like a Goddess!”

When I met Beth at the studio, my world changed. In the few hours that I was there, I felt like a goddess and my confidence skyrocketed with every shot she took. It was such an amazing feeling. She brought me out of my shell and out into the light.

Since then, I’ve struggled to keep my self-esteem in the right place, and I know I need to get back in front of that camera to help myself see me beauty again. With a wedding to plan and a dress to fit into, I’ve got goals and dreams that I need to accomplish, and I want to add another shoot with Beth to my growing list of things to do. Even if I don’t do it for my future husband, my inner goddess is in desperate need of it! Thank you Beth for all you did to help me shine. I will forever look at these photos and smile, knowing what you did for me on that day. Can’t wait to do it again!

“Choosing to do a boudoir shoot instead of a watch for a wedding gift was one of the best decisions I ever made!”

I found Beth while looking for a unique gift for my then fiancée. Choosing to do a boudoir shoot instead of a watch for a wedding gift was one of the best decisions I ever made. She made me feel instantly comfortable and calmed my nerves while making me laugh with her multiple stories. Not only was my husband impressed. ( Beth made this 5 ft 4 girl look so much taller!) I still looked like me.. but better.

Shooting with Beth was not only a great wedding gift but a confidence booster for this shy, petite nurse. She also took pictures of me in my wedding dress with my veil, something I didn't get to do on my wedding day. I will be forever grateful for her patience with me and reassuring me with kind words. I recommend her to all of my friends and can't wait to work with her again!
