Client Feature Friday: Feeling Seen, Sensual & Desirable!

Jezebel VonZephyr works with all kinds of women, from the suburbs of Seattle to all over the Pacific Northwest and beyond. We love connecting with each client, hearing her stories and capturing her unique spirit. We believe that every session is special in its own way, and we want to share that magic with the world. On Fridays we shine a spotlight on a client so she can share a part of her story. 

This week’s Belle was very nervous to do a boudoir shoot. This is completely normal and something we see a lot in the studio! We know that the nerves can run high so we do everything we can to make our clients feel comfortable before, during, and even after their sessions! Read on to learn how her experience went! 

Age: 44

Where are you from? I’m from Port Orchard, Washington.

What is your theme song? “This Is Me” by Keala Settle from The Greatest Showman Soundtrack. 

What are three words you’d use to describe yourself? Geek, mom, chronically anxious.

Is this your first Jezebel shoot? If not, how many have you had? This was my first, but I see more in my future!

Why did you decide to book a session with JVZ? My friend has done a couple of sessions and encouraged me to try it. When I saw the Black Friday sale I took a deep breath and booked. 

How did you feel before your shoot? OMG, sooooooo anxious! I had no idea what to expect or if I would like it. I haven’t liked my body for a long, long time and I tried to hide it as much as I could. I felt like I wasn’t desirable or sexy. I felt like I was just a mom and nothing more. 

How was your session? What was your favorite part? My session was AMAZING! Sara and Tiffany did a great job at making me feel comfortable, and reassured me that things would go at my pace. Bringing pieces from home helped with my comfort level. My favorite part was how confident and sexy I felt during the shoot. I left feeling better about my body than I have in years. 

What was your favorite look from your session? Why? I liked all my looks for different reasons. If I had to pick a favorite I’d say it was my floral chemise with matching panty and fuschia bra. I loved how it looked on the antique settee. 

How are you feeling since your session? It has really boosted my confidence. Sara and Tiffany encouraged me to try taking more selfies as I’ve never really been a selfie taker. My therapist agreed so I’m now trying to take at least three a week and post them on my Instagram page. I still feel self conscious about taking them but it’s getting easier and easier. I’ve also started wearing a little bit of makeup every now and then. 

Did you bring anything special with you to the studio? Why? I brought a linen slip that I handmade, a floral print chemise from Lane Bryant with matching panties, another chemise that we didn’t use, a couple pairs of sexy panties, and my linen sheet because I love linen sheets and find them sensual. I wanted things that I was familiar with and would be comfortable in to help ease my anxiety.  

How was your reveal? It was great! I loved the slide show Sara put together and was blown away by my images. I didn’t feel pressured into making any decisions on which images to choose or which package to purchase.  

Any advice for anyone thinking of booking a session with JVZ? Do it! I was very hesitant but decided to look at it as an investment in myself. It has done wonders for my self esteem and self worth. Don’t wait until you have the body you think you want, or until you have someone to show the images to.  You are perfect as you are right now.  When you’re having a rough day you can pull out your images and remember the sexy, empowered, desirable woman that you are. 

Anything else you want to share about your session and/or experience? I feel like my session happened exactly when I needed it most. I had just ended my three year relationship after discovering my boyfriend was on dating apps (my friend alerted me). I had gained some pandemic weight and had been at home for the last two years with my 10 yr old who is rather needy. 

I was burnt out and feeling like I was nothing more than “just a mom.” Sara and Tiffany made me feel seen, sensual, and desirable.

For the first time in a long time I was the one being pampered and was the center of attention. We laughed, told stories, and I was showered with love and affection. And it was genuine.  Sara, Tiffany, and the rest of the team really care about the women they’re working with and it shows.
