Along the banks of the Boise River, enjoying the peace and solitude with Katie…

My shoot was amazing. I was definitely nervous because I had never done that kind of concept before. I felt anxious driving out to our location, and when I pulled up at the park, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. Luckily, you arrived right then and I was reassured to see a normal, nice guy get out of the car. We introduced ourselves and made some small talk and I could feel myself relaxing a little bit. Like from an 70% stress level to a 50%. We talked through some outfit choices and posing ideas and I steadily felt more confident.

The location was so beautiful! The park was just like a forest with a gorgeous river and lots of plants and stuff. I felt like some kind of Pocahontas or something and it was really fun. But there was definitely some part of me that was holding back. My whole life as a woman I have been trained to behave modestly. To hide my body for fear of offending someone else .

 It was insanely hard to fight this internal battle throughout the shoot. I know this inner struggle made me more difficult to shoot. But you were great the whole time. Reassuring me, helping with my posing, and most of all having the patience to help me embrace my most natural self. Your final product is stunning, I can honestly say this is my favorite shoot! ❤😊
