Hello, it’s Accalia, I figured I would tell you more about me, and why I choose to do boudoir photography. I LOVE the human body, I love the curves, the lines, and how each of us is so different yet the same. I am in love with the human form. If you ever catch me staring its because I am in awe of something I see, and as a photographer I have a tendency to envision you in my studio and me getting that million dollar shot. Not to mention showing you your star quality today, not later, today!!!
In the photo above is me, yes, me!! I never ask my clients to do things I have not done or not willing to do myself!! I feel everyone needs an empowerment shoot!!! It is such a confidence game changer for sure. I felt fat before my shoot, over weight, not sexy, and just plain fat and bloated. During my shoot I was awkward and not sure it would turn out, not even sure I would find any I liked let alone loved. When I was going through my photos I was actually amazed at how many I liked, and how much I wanted to see one or two on my wall!!!
Like the photo above which is now hanging in my bathroom!! I can tell you, I didn’t think I think I was worth it, I did and still do have self image issues. I know I am worth it now, after my shoot. I am so grateful I took the chance to do something I have always wanted to do, so glad I got out of my comfort zone. So grateful I took my power back, for me the shoot wasn’t about being sexy, it was about embracing my femininity, and taking my power back from the men who I let take it away in the past, it was one of the missing pieces to my personal healing journey. It helped and is still helping me reclaim my sexuality, and what that means for me, it is my reminder that I too am powerful!!! The photo below is another on my wall as well now.
I have always loved photography of any type, since I was 10, now at 38 almost 39, I have found my spot, Boudoir!!! I get to help others heal, find parts of themselves they didn’t know, and feel sexy and beautiful all at the same time!! Seeing my clients light up, and even cry at how beautiful and wonderful they look in their photos, makes me light up, and for the time ever I feel on track and I have found my calling. I get to use more than one of my talents each day, so thank you for joining me on this photography journey.
