We recently connected with Mandy Aliano and have shared our conversation below.
Mandy, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about a time you helped a customer really get an amazing result through their work with you.
I work with women from all walks of life. Some of my clients are high profile attorneys, women in government, teachers, health-care professionals, ect. Women do Boudoir Photoshoots for so many reasons including Groom’s Gifts, Wedding Anniversay Gifts, Surprise Birthday Gifts, to celebrate their own youth and birthday, to celebrate a special occasion or milstone in their life such as a weighloss goal/journey, or a self-love journey!
I had a woman contact me, we’ll call her Mrs. F. Mrs. F. was in the process of looking up BBL Surgery when she found me online. She had a session before with another photographer, so she hadn’t really given any thought to doing this again years later, but after seeing and reading my website, she began to wonder.
She set up a complimentary consultation with me and anxiously awaited her upcoming consult date. And, after coming in to meet me, see the studio, and get all of her questions answered, she decided that I was the best photographer for her, and she booked her photoshoot, nervous as can be!
Mrs. F. had confessed that she was struggling with self-love and acceptance. She didn’t like her weight or the way she looked in photos, and she was struggling to truly see the amazing and beautiful woman she is! She was unsure of which collection she wanted to purchase because of her current way of being and not liking the way she looked. So, naturally she didn’t think that was going to like any of her photos. But, I did what I do best, guiding and coaching her through her entire session. First, showing her the pose, then explaining where to stand, where to look, fixing her hair, telling her when to slow down and take a deep breath, and that it’s all going to be okay, and showing her the back of my camera along the way!
Mrs. F. came back 2 weeks later as do all my clients for her reveal session where she saw her GORGEOUS portraits for the first time! She unexpectedly fell in love with EVERY SINGLE GORGEOUS PORTRAIT that was HER! She loved them so much she purchased every single image! We placed her order and set up a delivery date for her to swing back by the studio one last time.
Upon Mrs. F.’s arrival she met me with a huge hug and thanked me for reminding her of what a beautiful woman she is and for the best experience she ever had! Mrs. F. then presented me with a beautiful letter and asked me to share it with whomever would read it:
“Through My Husband’s Eyes July 01, 2021
Don’t even know where to start. According to my Husband I am always so hard on myself thinking I have to be perfect and never happy with my appearance, and unfortunately I’m starting to think my Husband was right. In the last few years I began to gain weight, I was depressed, tired, moody and with insomnia. I decided to start going to the gym. Everyone was telling me how good I look and I was still not happy with my body. I did not see any changes in my body.
One day I was so sad, upset and mad at myself for not dropping the pound I was trying to lose. My Husband wanted to make me happy, so he agreed that I was going to get a BBL Surgery. In the process of researching for Doctors I cam across ” Vanity Boudoir by Mandy” and I started wondering if I really needed surgery. I scheduled an appointment with Mandy, then I decided to do the Boudoir Session. I was excited but very nervous, extremely nervous, I even thought of cancelling. The day of the session Mandy made me feel very comfortable, it’s like I have known her forever. It took longer than expected but it was worth every minute. I was happy and couldn’t wait to see the images.
The day of the reveal, I was shocked and couldn’t believe my eyes. I was a forty years old beautiful, curvy woman, I couldn’t see any flaws, I was beautiful. I could just hear my Husband’s voice in my head . . . . “Hello Beautiful”, “Good Morning Beautiful” “have a great day Beautiful”, I miss you beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. There has not been a day that goes by and that my Husband calls me beautiful. My heart was beating so fast, my hands were sweaty and I was speechless, I cried. Tears of joy, of course.
For the first time I saw myself through my Husband’s eyes!!
I can’t wait to see his face and his reaction.
Ladies if you are thinking of having a Boudoir Session, Mandy is the one. She is worth every penny, prepare yourself for the best experience . . . Be yourself, Be beautiful, Be sexy, Be important, Be special, Nobody is like you, Nobody can be like you, Nobody is YOU because you are UNIQUE.
Thank you Mandy!! <3
