        Let me just say this upfront—I’ve walked in New York Fashion Week, and the adrenaline rush, the confidence boost, and the pure excitement of strutting down the runway in front of a sea of eyes is indescribable. But what I didn’t expect was to feel that *same* high in an entirely different setting—my boudoir session with Stephanie Marie Boudoir Photography Studio.

        I know, I know. Boudoir photography and runway modeling seem like polar opposites, right? But here’s the thing: both experiences tap into the same feeling of empowerment. When you’re walking down a runway, every eye is on you, and you feel this incredible surge of confidence. You’re wearing clothes that make you feel unstoppable, and you walk like you own every inch of that stage. It’s a power trip, in the best way possible.

        Now, imagine that same feeling, but in a much more intimate setting. During my boudoir session, it was just me, Stephanie, and the camera. And instead of designer clothes, I was in lingerie that made me feel *fierce* and feminine. Stephanie created this incredibly safe, supportive space where I felt comfortable, beautiful, and *seen* in a way that I hadn’t expected. 

        There was a moment when I looked into the camera and felt like I was on that NYFW runway again. The same rush. The same power. But this time, it was *for me*. I wasn’t walking for an audience or a designer; I was doing this for myself—to embrace and celebrate my body, my beauty, and my confidence. 

        Stephanie has this incredible ability to capture not just the way you look but the way you *feel* in that moment. I left that session feeling like I could conquer the world—and honestly, I felt that same post-runway euphoria that stayed with me long after the shoot.

        So, if you’ve ever thought about doing a boudoir session but hesitated because you didn’t think it would be “your thing” or weren’t sure how you’d feel in front of the camera—let me tell you: it’s worth it. It’s like giving yourself a little piece of that NYFW magic, but for your own personal empowerment.

        Who knew that trading the runway for a cozy studio could be just as exhilarating? Thanks to Stephanie Marie Photography, I felt like a supermodel, but most importantly, I felt *unstoppable*.

        That top pose is STUNNING! saving for my next boudoir session 😍

        Stephanie is an amazing photographer! She is worth every penny. I was super comfortable in my session and I have beautiful pictures to keep for the rest of my lifetime. The look of total surprise on my boyfriend’s face when he opened the photo album was priceless!

        While I can’t say I’ve experienced either of those things, I’m always in absolute awe of the positivity and cheerleading brokered by this experience and by Stephanie herself. I love seeing all the female empowerment and support. All you fierce ladies and gorgeous inside and out!

        This is amazing. Love how empowered these photos make everyone feel. Stephanie does such a wonderful job!!

        You are simply the best, Stephanie! ❤️

        Stephanie’s skills as a photographer are impressive & her authenticity is contagious. She empowers women to embrace their beautiful bodies, curves, dimples, cellulite & all through every stage of life by capturing the beauty in all that is feminine.

        Beautiful story and photos!

        Stephanie is an amazing photographer, and doing a session with her is the ultimate confidence booster!

        These photos are amazing and I love the message. Stephanie is phenomenal and helps people feel so incredibly special!

        LOVE these photos!!

        My 1st session is scheduled, I can’t wait to go through the experience with hair, makeup, and the photo shoot.

        Stephanie is absolutely amazing! I never had what I would call a successful photoshoot, and she made me feel amazing, confident, and extremely happy I did the shoot. 100% recommend

        Stephanie is awesome! She made me feel so comfortable doing my boudoir session. We had fun and the pictures turned out great. I think I am due for another session! 🙂

        Absolutely stunning and love your story

        Stephanie is the absolute best! So incredibly talented, kind, uplifting, and a beautiful soul. She allows you put away your thoughts and reminded me how love myself and my body again. Thank you Steph, you are one of a kind! 😘🙏🏼

        I’ve never walked in NYFW, but I can confirm that there is something so empowering and confidence boosting about a boudoir session with Stephanie! She made me feel sooo comfortable and at ease. I’ve never felt so comfortable and content in my own skin. Highly recommend.

        This is so, absolutely, accurate! Her words and photos are beautiful!
        I am about to have my 2nd session with Steph and I’ve been so excited, not just for the session, but thinking about the feelings and emotions while walking out of her studio after your session. Empowered is so spot on.

        I love this description of how Stephanie can make a woman feel! She’s simply the best cheerleader for all women.

        Empowered is definitely the best word from a boudoir shoot with Stephanie! I saw all of her photos and thought everyone else was gorgeous, but I didn’t think I could ever look that good. I was absolutely shocked! I still looked and felt like myself, but the absolute best version! Even without amazing pictures, the actual experience was better than I could have imagined. I’m so proud that you are getting the recognition you deserve with an amazing testimonial from a top model! That’s amazing!

        Seeing these photos every morning before I start my day reminds me who TF I am! Thank you Steph, you are amazing!

        I’ve been following Stephanie for some time now and I’m in awe of how confident, stunning, and amazing every model appears to feel. Her pictures are absolutely beautiful.

        Your pictures are amazingand you are gorgeous! I agree-the feeling after the shoot is that you’re powerful and on top of the world!!

        First off she is a flipping amazing! These photos are fire!! Second this is a testament to how amazing Stephanie is! I was so lucky to have done a shoot with her before kids and now this is making me want to do another one after kids because our bodies are amazing!

        Wow! What an amazing story and gorgeous woman.
