After getting married, Michael and I wanted to do a couples boudoir photoshoot! (Ok, admittedly ... I was the one who wanted to, it was his wedding present to me!) We were struggling to find a photographer who was committed and responsive because let’s face it.. we were a giant ball of nerves, and wanted answers right away. I made a post in a photography group looking for someone to do the shoot, I got A LOT of replies. If I am being COMPLETELY honest, Maggie was not my first choice as she didn’t have any photos of “plus size women in lingerie” and that was a huge fear of mine as it’s very easy to make us look unflattering in photos. After the initial photographer bailed the day of, I messaged Maggie apologizing and practically begging her to still shoot us. My husband is VERY shy, like if you don’t talk to him he won’t talk to you kind of shy, so I made sure Maggie knew that, and that this was his first photoshoot, he was SO nervous. She continually reassured us that we didn’t need to worry, and it would be amazing. We showed up and right away she asked us what we were comfortable with, if we had any photos of inspiration, and just surprised both of us with her professionalism. She offered us drinks right off the bat to help us calm down and get more “natural” she painted such a perfect picture and timeline with the photos and let us get comfortable with her and shooting together intimately. She made jokes, made us laugh, and had us just be “us” the experience was next to none, when we left my husband was SO happy and couldn’t stop talking about how Maggie made him feel so comfortable and that it wasn’t awkward at all. In that discussion we both said “regardless of how the photos turn out.. that was 100% worth it anyways” she sent us 5 sneak peaks within 24 hours because come on... who isn’t antsy and doesn’t want to see their photos like NOW lol. They were AMAZING, I loved every single sneak peak.. then about a week later we got our full album to choose our favourite and again... it was so hard narrowing it down! I’m a picky “picture taker” it has to be perfect for me to like them and there wasn’t a single photo that I didn’t like! My husband was a little shy and wasn’t sure if he wanted to post them online but when he saw them ... he posted them too! Which was a HUGE surprise ! Michael and I will for sure be shooting with Maggie again in the future, we’re now trying to conceive and Michael brought up having Maggie take our maternity photos once we get blessed with a pregnancy! Make sure Maggie is your first choice because it was the best “mistake” we ever made!
