06 Feb Client Feature Friday: The Soft Girl Rebellion
Soft Girl Rebellion boudoir session energy is exactly what we live for at Jezebel VonZephyr.
Jezebel VonZephyr loves shining a spotlight on women of every age, every size, and every story. We live for the connection that happens inside these walls—the kind that turns strangers into friends, nerves into laughter, and self-doubt into pure, glowing confidence.
Every session is its own kind of magic… and on Fridays, we share that magic with you.
This week’s featured Belle is 31 years old, creative to her core, and quietly powerful in the way only a true soft girl can be. She’s a Kirkland local, an introvert with an artistic soul, and a woman who walked into her session ready to feel sexy—not for anyone else, but for herself.
Meet Miss M.
Miss M. came in craving that feeling she hadn’t experienced since her first boudoir shoot back in 2019: fun, freedom, and the kind of confidence that makes you stand taller in your own skin. She wanted to feel surprised, blown away, and fully in her feminine energy again.
And what she created?
A full-on Soft Girl Rebellion angel wings, lace, roses, playful mischief and proof that softness is not weakness… it’s power.
Where are you from? Where do you live now? What’s your favorite thing about where you live?
This is always a sort of complicated question for me to answer, hahaha! I was born in western Washington, lived a few years in southern Florida, then lived in Montana for my childhood, then I moved to western Washington for my teenage years and I’ve been here since 2010! I currently live in Kirkland! My favorite thing is I’m 30 minutes from Seattle, depending on traffic, or from mt friends up north. I love that I live so close to the woods, too!
What are some of your favorite songs/artists? Do you have a theme song–if so, what is it and why does that song(s) resonate with you?
My all-time favorite song is “Feels Like Forever” by Of Mice & Men. It got me through a lot when I was younger. But lately two of my favorites are “Softspot” and “Wantchu” by Keshi since I feel very much in my sappy, lover girl era hahaha!
And lately my theme song feels like it’s “Life Feels So Good” by napsea, and it just feels self explanatory in the title 😉 especially because it feels like I’ve reset my life since ending my near-decade relationship in January 2025. And I just am so happy by how my imperfect life is still mine, and I feel joy for no reason some days!
My last session was with a different photographer and that was back in December 2019. I feel like I did that more for the wrong reasons then, for someone else instead of choosing to empower myself. I kept seeing advertisements online and
“I love myself for the first time in my life.”
and I wanted to embrace what could happen with my confidence and self-love now, to walk into my 30s with more joy and power than I felt in my 20s.
I was expecting to feel very shy and awkward and maybe really exposed. The experience couldn’t have been more different!!!
“I didn’t feel shy as soon as I saw my reflection wearing those angel wings.”
I got to play and embrace my sensual power, my femininity in all its forms with the different outfits! I felt like myself, and to feel so in-tune with my body.
I loved wearing the angel wings immediately! I loved how floral were present too as an addition to the shoot. Then to my surprise while in the rose room, I loved playing with the mirrors, embracing my shape, and how I could embrace that confidence. The body chain was soooo much fun to wear! I got to wear a corset for the first time too, and revisit what it felt like back in 2018 during my polefitness days. The props in the red room were a lot of fun! I especially loved the bunny mask,
“The bunny mask… I felt so playful and mischievous with it!”
And I felt much more bold than I expected to while in the rain room using the red light!!! Overall, I felt so empowered by this experience!
How did you feel about the guidance you received during the session?
The guidance was less overt and felt like a couple of gals just encouraging me, hyping me up, maybe adding a suggestion here or there. It didn’t feel forced by any means,
“just incredibly sweet gassing me up!!!”
Tell us about your hair styling/makeup application? How was your time in the chair? What did you really love?
My time in the chair was soothing and gentle, incredibly relaxing on my nerves! I loved how the gentle curls really brought out my red hair streaks, and that the makeup didn’t feel too heavy or that I couldn’t recognize myself.
“I still felt like me… just a more dolled up version.”
which is what I hoped for!
How were you feeling leaving the studio and leading up to your photo reveal appointment?
I felt bubbly and like I was bouncing off the walls leaving the studio! And I was so incredibly eager for my reveal appointment!
How was your reveal appointment? What did you like the most about it? What did you take home with you?
I didn’t expect to tear up or become so surprised by how my photos turned out!!
“I didn’t expect to tear up or become so surprised by how my photos turned out!!”
I decided on choosing my entire digital collection, eagerly and somewhat impatiently for my monthly photos while on my flexible payment plan!
Have you had any lasting impact/perspective shifts since your appointment? If so, please share as much as you’re comfortable with.
I feel encouraged and appreciated by myself and happy that I did this for me!!! Of course I might share some photos 😉 but
“These are for me as reminders of who I am.”
Moreso than my boudoir photos from 2019, these actually feel like I’m comfortable in myself, that it was such a soft and feminine space for me to explore sides of myself that aren’t often let out to play. I hope to have them as lasting reminders that they’re always part of me, even if I’m not dolled up, like how it was pointed out during my reveal appointment.
Other than “just do it”, what advice would you offer a friend interested in a session to book with Jezebel? What tips might you give? What were the best tips you received either from us or from others?
“Let yourself giggle and be weird first!”
It’s okay to be nervous and awkward. Pretend like you’re playing dress up with long time girlies you adore, and before you know it the camera disappears! Listen to how your body wants to naturally move and let it flow however it wants to! You’re much more fluid than you think once you force yourself to get out of your head and into your whole body. Smile and laugh and remember why you’re there for the photoshoot!!!
And the best tip I was given during my session was that if I needed to smile and laugh, just let it happen!!!
Anything else you’d like to share?
Hahaha I didn’t know my butt and legs looked like that ♥
This client’s story is the perfect reminder that softness is not weakness – it’s power.
Her session wasn’t just about creating beautiful photos… it was about stepping into her body with joy, playfulness, and confidence. Proof that you can be feminine and fierce. That you can be nervous and still show up. That you can giggle through the whole experience and still walk away feeling like the hottest version of yourself.
Because sometimes, the most rebellious thing a woman can do… is let herself feel beautiful.
