but make it a gift to yourself first. when we feel good about ourselves it soothes the soul. it infuses positive energy into our lives and the lives of those we are connected to. give yourself this gift and THEN give him a sweet, sexy little bonus to complete the care package. maybe wrap it up in HIS bow tie.

about the photographer michelle
ford
it was my turn. i had been shooting boudoir for a while but had never experienced it myself. me, first hand, in the place of the poser. i mean, i’ve had my picture taken before. in fact, i make a point of putting myself in the client’s position a couple times a year on purpose because i need to know what it’s like. i need to feel that pressure and i need to learn. but i HATE it. i hate posing for pictures lol. but until now… i had never gotten my own boudoir pictures done. it was time.
“.. I was hacking it (hair) all off. but before i did, i thought i would get pictures done.” curtis, my husband, LOVED my hair. it seems that everyone but me loves my hair. it’s been the story of my life since i was a kid. my mom wanted to grow my hair and i wanted to cut it. last december (as i do every 3 years), i was hacking it all off. but before i did, i thought i would get pictures done. for curtis. for the guy that loves me with long hair and so i did. i talked steph, my assistant who i had been grooming to shoot boudoir, into doing my shoot for me. the day before the shoot i experienced all the fear and trepidation that my clients had told me about. i usually get their frantic emails and texts the night

before the shoot and i would poo poo it away with a giggle and a quick little reply back. it’s no big deal i would tell them. i had to remind myself of that very phrase. it’s NO BIG DEAL i told myself as i sat on my phone trying not to call steph in panic. i felt silly the first 10 mins of the shoot but as we got on, the fear melted away and all of a sudden, running thru the park naked was not an issue at all. in fact, it was liberating. for the second half of the shoot, cheri of wonderland corsets had designed an extra special piece with me in mind. i felt beautiful. by the end of that day, i was hooked, addicted, high. i LOVED it! i knew that it was an experience that every girl should go through at least once. i knew that from watching the transformation that my clients went thru with our shoots. now, i knew it first hand.
“.. by the end of the day i was hooked, addicted, high. i LOVED it!.” tomorrow i turn 40. Y E S … FORTY as in 4-OH. the big one! and i’m not upset, i’m not freaking out, i’m not hiding. it’s no big deal. it’s a number. i feel great, i don’t look bad and i’m happy. i’ve amassed 40 years of experience including a boudoir one and i’m proud. some young people would pay to know what i know lol. i’m welcoming this year with open arms. happy valentine bday to me!
