I was hella nervous before my shoot and during the beginning. Lainey starts you off easy and by the 3rd pose, I began to loosen up and feel more comfortable. She constantly reassured me and hyped me up. I have been looking at my pictures since I got them in and literally drooling over myself. To think THATS what my husband gets to see when he looks at me?? Speechless! Ya girl feels like a whole new woman after this. Thank you Lainey.

..............................................

I was soooooo absolutely worried about every little thing. Omg. Lainey put my worries aside and gave me confidence to do this. To love myself more. To open up. Her support and no judgment was so comforting.

..........................................................

Before my 1st shoot, I was very anxious. During the shoot, Lainey made me feel very comfortable and beautiful in a way I’ve never felt before. The shooting process was fun, very enjoyable, and a little funny. We had some good laughs. After the shoot, I was on cloud 9. And seeing the photos afterwards was just incredible. I would highly recommend a shoot with Lainey. The shoot was just incredible all the way through and I would do another shoot in a heartbeat. I was surprised by how much fun I had. I thought I’d be scared and uncomfortable the whole time, but I was quickly proven wrong. The investment was definitely worth it.

For me, any photo is a nerve wracking experience, but we had so much fun for my shoot that it was no sweat for me. Just some fun between us girls and a charcuterie board. I didn't realize how much I needed something like this until I actually did it♡

..................................................

I’ve done 2 with you, and it has made me look at myself differently. I didn’t love the body frame I have but after doing the photo shoots I’ve gained a lot of confidence. Since giving birth I haven’t been liking the way I look.. so I plan to do another shoot! Most definitely recommend to everyone!

...............................................

Lainey and I spoke before hand and she made sure to understand what I was looking for in photos. She made sure any nerves were settled. During the shoot she kept it fun and had me laughing the whole time. I can’t wait for the next one!

Ladies, do yourself a favor and book your shoot! Lainey is absolutely amazing! The feeling of seeing yourself through another's eyes is wild (in the best way)! My confidence boost went through the roof! It was super fun. I was able to be fully myself without worry! Seeing the pictures for the first time blew me away. Some brought me to tears because they reminded me of who I was! A STRONG, BEAUTIFUL woman and mother, but most of all... A SURVIVOR! I told Lainey that I didn't know how I'd walk out of her yard bc my head was so big that I felt like one of those bobblehead toys with her hyping me up!

....................................................

Lainey brought out the best in me. She put that confidence that I needed to do this. My initial intent for my pictures were for my husband's birthday. So I was nervous. I mean, "How would anyone look at my body, and see it as gorgeous, right." I don't let anyone see my body, or let anyone know I was actually going to did this. After our session, MY SHOOT, I felt the confidence enough to show my friend my pictures. Not to mention my husband loved them. He still glances at them every once in a while. Thank you for the confidence that you instilled in me. Even if it's just for my husband and I to share. So, even thought I started this process for a birthday gift for my husband, it definitely turned out to be a gift for myself.

.......................................................

So before our session I was confident but not confident naked and I felt embarrassed because I'm a thick woman with stretch marks. I was always shy in front of my own husband and after I actually started to feel comfortable in my own body. I know it's weird to say but I now enjoy gettin fully naked. I hope you know how truly amazing you are at what you're doing for us women.

It was 100% a healing moment for me. I saw myself through a different lens. It makes a difference.

........................................................

Sista! I can tell you it is well deserved and well worth the price. My investment is priceless to us. And the self esteem, what it did for me mentally and emotionally... You can't put a price on that!

..................................................

Thank you so much! I absolutely enjoyed my session. I felt safe, seen and heard! I got out of my comfort zone in my own unique way and you helped make this happen! You captured exactly what I was feeling today! So thank you for holding space for that and adjusting. I never thought I'd ever be comfortable enough in life to take these! You helped make this happen! Your place is welcoming and warm. It's a place that vulnerability can be embraced. Come as you are with no judgement. A space where women become art!And I thank you for that!

Fuckkkkkkkkkk. Momma is finnneeeee. Can't tell me NOTHING! The confidence boost since doing this is crazy! I absolutely love them! You're amazing!!!! Ahhhhhh!

...................................................

OMG I just cried lol

You're awesome!

....................................................

Before it was money that held me back, and lack of self confidence. But when I switched my mind frame from "I can't get behind the camera" to "maybe it will help me feel more confident" and made the time and saved up the money, it was 100% worth it.

You really have a way of making someone feel comfortable and the whole experience was amazing.

..........................................................

It's so crazy seeing myself like that.

..........................................................

.................................................................

Never had I seen myself doing a photo shoot like this. Being able to do something different after all I’ve been through reminded me that I may have lost a lot but my beauty always remains. Thank you Lainey for this beautiful experience!! Y'all women get with her cause she’ll have you laughing and feeling like you’ve known her for years!! I can’t wait till our next session!

.................................................................

My shoot with you was and still is one of the best things I've done for myself.

.......................................................

OMG I AM SERIOUSLY OBSESSED TO THE MAX LIKE SERIOUSLY OBSESSED. They're everything I ever wanted. I'm in love. Thank you soooo much and I can't wait to see the freaking prints.

........................................................

Thank you! Ever since I've taken my pictures I have a new self confidence. Like this is me.

........................................................

I feel soooooo liberated right now!

It's unbelievable how much out of my comfort zone today was!

................................................

........................................................

I absolutely love them! I've wanted to do them for so long, but I've always let my weight stop me. But this made me see myself as beautiful; and not the ugly things I'd think when I'd look in the mirror. I thought I was going to be so much more nervous, but you just have this calming presence about you and I instantly felt comfortable! To the woman wanting to do it but keep putting it off, DO IT!!! You won't regret it!

..............................................................

I was afraid that I would hate the pictures but the more you talked about your own insecurities and the more stories I read, I realized I wasn't alone and I took the leap and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made!

I know I've thanked you already, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU again. Shooting with you was truly empowering. I was worried that I was going to go through all the pictures and pick out all the flaws and not be happy with them. Instead I saw all the beauty that I had all along.

............................................................

.....................................................

You are amazing and I was so nervous and not confident and in the end I am so happy with how they all came out so the biggest thanks goes to you!!! You're so warming and made me so comfortable to be able to step out of that shadow I have been hiding in. Thank you!

........................................................

I like how it looks like I'm confident when really I felt huge and boxy. Looking from a different view really is amazing.

............................................................

I absolutely LOVE them! Thank you for making me fall in love with my own skin! I never knew the true beauty of my body shape until this! I have o do this again girl. Thank you so much! You rock your job!

.............................................................

.....................................................

I really enjoyed the whole experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. I love the photos and art we made. And it gave me more confidence than I knew I had. Im truly thankful.

.....................................................

I received my package today. I want to thank you. Everything is wonderful. You were easy going and made me feel comfortable and beautiful.

.........................................................

I love them so much! Im still amazed that's me! Like, holy shit. I DID THAT! And I couldn't have without you.

......................................................

........................................................

I can't wait to shoot again!!! You are amazing girl! I'm absolutely in love with my photos!!! I honestly didn't think I'd do so well!! You sure helped out a lot and I had a lot of fun!!!

.....................................................

Hey Lainey, I just sat down and got to watch the slideshow. I really was nervous but your energy helped 100%. Thank you so much. You have an amazing gift!

.....................................................

I just finished watching the edited slideshow. Thank you so much again for making this experience easy going and making me feel comfortable and helping me remember who I am. I'm so shocked! Def booking again later!

.....................................................

Thank you so much for this! I'm blown away with how amazing they all came out. OMG I literally have tears in my eyes just watching the video.

...........................................................

These photos came out beautifully. I stare at them all the time... you have made me feel so confident and beautiful. I have never seen myself like this. EVERYONE needs to do this!!!!

I told him it was like looking at someone else on the computer screen and he was like "I told you so." LOL so I won't argue back for once.
