“Don’t hesitate. Don’t think twice and don’t doubt yourself because no matter what you see when you look in the mirror. No matter how many pounds you've gained or whatever, you’re still there and you’re still beautiful and do it for you and smile as you’re doing it because it’s so worth it.”

Lexy’s Advice…

“100% do it! You’ll feel so good afterward.”

 

Hi! I’m Teri, the photographer and owner behind Teri Ryerson Photography!

The first time I photographed boudoir, something inside me clicked and I knew I had found my calling. For me, there is a special moment in each boudoir session when a woman finds her beauty–when she isn’t ashamed of it anymore. Many times, that happens with the first glance in the mirror out of the makeup chair. For some, it is a quick glance at the back of the camera: an affirmation that she not only feels gorgeous, she IS gorgeous. For every single boudoir session I have ever photographed, there is an incredible transformation that somehow empowers women and gives them permission to feel confident about their appearance. As a photographer, it feels good to experience and tell the story of this hidden confidence. It is why I do what I do.
