Nikon Ambassador and all-around Powerhouse, Jen joined us for a wildly Honest, Funny, and Empowering conversation about Life Behind the Lens and in Front of it.

This isn't just a chat about Posing and Lighting—it's about Confidence, Identity, and using Jokes to start off your boudoir photography session. Jen held nothing back, and neither did we. If you're into real talk, big laughs, and powerful stories from someone who truly walks the walk—this one's for you. Oh—and yes, she had a cold while recording, but she still absolutely crushed it.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with the incredible Lauren Schwab—a boudoir photographer whose work is about so much more than taking beautiful photos. Lauren shares her deeply personal journey of going from a young woman who struggled with confidence, self-worth, and identity… to becoming someone who helps others feel unstoppable in their own skin.We talk about the life-changing moment of her first boudoir shoot, how it helped her rewire limiting beliefs, and the way that single experience began to ripple into every area of her life—from work, to dating, to owning her worth. If you've ever looked in the mirror and said something unkind to yourself (and let's be real—who hasn't?), this episode will move you, empower you, and remind you that confidence isn't something you're born with… it's something you build.You don't want to miss this one!

In this encore episode of Please Me, host Eve sits down with the incredibly talented self-taught portrait photographer, Melissa Ushtchenko. Melissa specializes in boudoir self-portraits, creating a unique blend of art and self-reflection that goes far beyond the traditional selfie. They dive into the empowering process of capturing oneself through the lens, discussing the therapeutic and meditative qualities of self-portraiture, and how it helps build confidence and a deeper connection with one's body. Melissa shares her journey from brand photography to becoming a boudoir photographer, ignited by a moment of divine inspiration during the pandemic. She explains how boudoir self-portraits differ from the usual Instagram selfies and how the solo experience of self-photography allows individuals to explore and express their true selves without the influence of external judgment. Throughout the conversation, Eve and Melissa explore the importance of embracing the "messiness" of the process, both in photography and in life, and how this acceptance can lead to beautiful, unexpected results. They also discuss how this practice can be a powerful tool for people recovering from surgeries or learning to love their bodies after significant changes. Melissa also talks about her course that guides people in creating their own self-portrait practice, offering a space for continuous self-discovery and empowerment. The episode wraps up with tips on how to prepare for a boudoir session, including the importance of being present, tapping into sensuality, and creating a personalized, sensory-rich environment.

I loved my conversation with Brad Walsh, a boudoir photographer and male ally in the women's empowerment space. Brad has a quality about him that makes a potentially sensitive topic totally accessible - we delve right into the art and beauty we've uniquely experienced when clothing is removed. This chat transcends lingerie, eroticism and taking pictures purely to create turn-on in another person (although many may pursue this art form for that reason). Not even close. Brad describes the way in which a woman emerges new, more whole, and enthralled with her own beauty after a photography session PLUS we explore the psychological safety needed to make that possible when we hold space for others.Join us for this conversation and have your perspective expanded with regard to the dignity, vulnerability, and strength that this artform offers. Resources referenced in this episode:WomanSpeak™ where women learn the art and soul of public speaking Where Women Learn the Art & Sol of Public Speaking.The story I read in segment two was taken from:Finding Your Own North Star by Martha BeckAbout our Guest:Brad Walsh, first and foremost is a father to two beautiful girls aged 23 and 25, a husband to an amazingly inspiring woman, a photographer, a published #1 International Best-Selling Author, an International Speaker and a podcast host/producer and a Story Doula who found himself wanting to inspire others during the pandemic. He birthed the idea of EMPOWEROGRAPHY, a Top 2% Globally Rated Podcast, a platform that highlights strong, inspirational, dynamic women who share their stories of success, triumph, resiliency and transformation. He had no idea that what started as a simple concept would take on a life of its own. He is excited to share this platform with you and continue to EMPOWER, ELEVATE and EDUCATE by amplifying the voices of women all over the world.

And now I think everyone should go do a boudoir photoshoot. I think I should do one. Brad Crowell 0:05 I'm in. Lesley Logan 0:06 I know you are. Brad Crowell 0:08 Sign me up.Lesley Logan 0:10 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:51 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to. What are we doing? Brad Crowell 0:57 We're digging into the boldly confident convo that Lesley have with Shayla Pelton in her last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that, go back and listen to it now or don't, but we think you should, because it's a great episode. Lesley Logan 1:10 She's so fun. Brad Crowell 1:11 She's great. Lesley Logan 1:12 She's so sweet. I don't know why all of a sudden I forgot the script. So, thanks, Brad, thanks for having my. Brad Crowell 1:17 Oh, I got you. Lesley Logan 1:18 Okay, guys, Today is November 14th 2024 and it's Loosen Up Lighten Up Day, aka LULU day. Brad Crowell 1:24 LULU. Lesley Logan 1:24 And I chose this because we're recording this before the election. We are after the election, and we have no idea what shenanigans are happening around in some shitty places, so we are loosening it up and lightening up, just in case. Brad Crowell 1:35 We're LULUing. Lesley Logan 1:36 If you've been looking for a break from all of your stress and troubles, Loosen Up Lighten Up (LULU) on November 14 is perfect for you. This day presents an opportunity for you to take a break from your usual busy schedule and all the stressful thoughts and instead focus on just being happy and relaxed and having fun.Brad Crowell 1:36 I mean, I think this is very appropriate, because I have a feeling a lot of shenanigans are happening right now. Lesley Logan 1:59 I know. LULU day is our cure for burnouts and breakdowns. I just love that line. It's like a, it's like a medication. LULU is your cure for burnouts and breakdowns. Brad Crowell 2:11 I'm LULUing. Lesley Logan 2:12 You guys, we don't, we don't know, but we have a feeling that we all need a LULU today. And you know, so at any rate.Brad Crowell 2:19 The only thing I can say that makes me confidently LULU is that one of the two candidates raised a billion dollars in the last quarter and has money to fight legal battles. Because that's the shenanigans that are probably happening right now. Lesley Logan 2:32 No one, no one. Here's the thing. Everyone's like, what is your hobby? And I, we never tell them. And clearly what it is is we are deeply involved. We are ridiculously involved. And if you didn't know that, Brad even more so because he listens to world podcasts that I just don't have the time to take in all of that. But we know the names of too many people in too many places, and the district and the court numbers. We know all the different court levels, district nine, we know too fucking much. And so we are trying to LULU around here. Brad Crowell 3:01 We're LULUing. Lesley Logan 3:01 Yeah. Anyways, our Cambodia retreat we just got back from we were so relaxed. The relaxation is gone, but our lives are changed forever in the best way. And I can tell you, having the memories of Cambodia to reflect on and these weird times is fucking great. It's so great. It's amazing. I have to look back and go, wow, that was fabulous just to be on the other side of the world and not actually be thinking about what is going on back home. It's a way to LULU all the time. It's so wonderful. It's so fabulous. And so we want you to come with us, because you will LULU as well, and you will get to see amazing temples, and we'll do breath work, and we'll have great breakfast and great lunch and great dinner. And then we (inaudible). We find ourselves at a lovely bar sometimes together. We do nightly massages. One night there was 14 of us getting a massage together. So, you know, and not, like, with, like, not in the same room, (inaudible) but yeah. So you should be, you should come, crowsnestretreats.com is where you're gonna get your tickets. Brad Crowell 4:04 Yeah, crowsnestretreats.com. Lesley Logan 4:05 Join us for February. Don't go I'll go next time. Oh, this, you will always have an excuse not to go. I promise you, you'll be so happy you went, and you will change your life. Brad Crowell 4:13 It's true. Lesley Logan 4:14 And now I'm even closer to my little week-long excursion living in LA to get ready and do the accessories photo shoot. The Accessories Deck is our sixth deck in all of the flashcards. If this is your first time listening, you probably have no idea what our flashcards are. We have Pilates flashcards and you, too, can get some. Brad Crowell 4:32 And you, too. Lesley Logan 4:33 The Accessories Deck is the sixth deck in the series. And then from here, Brad gets to design the collector's box. So for those of you who thought you weren't gonna get a discount when you bought all six, I promise you, you're not. I promise you, Brad is going to figure out a Harry Potter like, collector's box. Brad Crowell 4:49 Yeah. The flashcards come with a magic wand. Lesley Logan 4:52 I don't like to be involved in the design of this box. I just would like to say, because I do think it should have a way to, like, pull the card out.Brad Crowell 5:00 Oh no. I think it's gonna, like be a glass display case.Lesley Logan 5:03 But it needs to, so you you will see all the cards, all the boxes, beautifully, but then there needs to be a way for you to have a card of the day, or like this week's exercise. There needs to be a way. Brad Crowell 5:14 To put one card, feature a card? Lesley Logan 5:16 Feature a card. I mean, that could be cool. And then what would also be cool is a little hidden hook. So if someone is doing those little drop pouches, they could hook that on and it could, like, they (inaudible) with their workout on it. Brad Crowell 5:27 Yeah, we're asking a lot of our display case here. We'll see.Lesley Logan 5:30 This is, we're in the design phase. We're in the design phase. Brad Crowell 5:34 LED lights inside. Lesley Logan 5:36 All the different colors?Brad Crowell 5:37 Maybe. We'll see what we can figure out.Lesley Logan 5:39 All the OPC colors? Brad Crowell 5:40 I don't know. I don't know. We'll figure it out. Lesley Logan 5:42 What if it's just, what if it's a disco ball and it is like.Brad Crowell 5:47 All right, well, if you have ideas, we'd love to hear them.Lesley Logan 5:51 Is there a site for, like, display cases? We got to figure this out. Anyways, we will work on that. After the sixth deck is done, I'm doing the photoshoot, go to flashcard waitlist opc.me/flashcardwaitlist and that will get you on the presale waitlist, the secret waitlist, and only the people on the waitlist get the presale invite. That's how it goes. Brad Crowell 6:07 That's true. Lesley Logan 6:08 And our goal is to get the presale out sooner so we beat the hurricane season. Okay, Brad, take it away. Brad Crowell 6:14 Okay, cool. So I want you, if you are a Pilates business owner, what (inaudible) Lesley Logan 6:19 That's the way the bear says only you. Brad Crowell 6:21 I want only you, stand up and serve your country.Lesley Logan 6:26 That was, yeah, very much so.Brad Crowell 6:28 If you are, if you have a Pilates business, if you take clients at all, big, small, medium, long time, short time, not yet time but know you're going to take clients in the future, I want you to come join me for a free webinar called the Pilates Studio Growth Accelerator, where Lesley and I have boiled down three of the the biggest things that we've learned in how do you actually move the needle with your income? Okay? So if you're feeling stuck at all with like, I've been at the same income level, I thought I was going to be able to make more money, or I thought I was going to be able to have the life that I always wanted when I worked for myself. We can get you unstuck. Come join me for this free webinar. Go to prfit.biz/accelerator. That's profit without the O, dot biz slash accelerator, and come check it out. We're gonna be, we're gonna be hanging out. It's only an hour long, and I'll get you a In-N-Out before your class.Lesley Logan 7:22 There's only a couple opportunities before you go on winter tour. Brad Crowell 7:26 That's very true. Lesley Logan 7:27 So take advantage of that while it's happening, because you don't want to wait until the new year and then start the new year late, guys. So opc.me/tour, is where you get your tickets. But we're going to 23 cities. We kick off on December 6th. And we start in Sedona, then Oklahoma City, then we go to Memphis, and then to Huntsville, and then we go to Greensboro. Brad Crowell 7:51 Atlanta and then Greensboro. Lesley Logan 7:52 Oh Atlanta, Greensboro, DC. Brad Crowell 7:55 Hershey, Pennsylvania. Lesley Logan 7:56 Virginia Beach.Brad Crowell 7:58 I think that's on the way south. Lesley Logan 7:59 Oh, it's on the way South? Brad Crowell 8:00 Yeah, because I think it's too close to DC, so I think we go Virginia Beach on the way down. Lesley Logan 8:04 Okay, so then it's Hershey, then it's Portland, Maine, then it is Boston, Cape Cod, Providence, Greenwich, then it's Virginia Beach, then it's Charleston, South Miami, Tampa, Pensacola, New Orleans, Austin, Dallas, Lubbock, Phoenix. I don't think we skipped any this time. Brad Crowell 8:28 I think we got them all. Lesley Logan 8:29 I did Oklahoma City, yeah, okay, we're great. 23 cities, over 40 events. So many are sold out. Brad Crowell 8:34 Almost 50 events, yeah, they're literally already selling all out, y'all. So if you are just hearing about this now, go to opc.me/tour and jump on this, because. Lesley Logan 8:49 Pilates lovers of all levels. If you're brand new and you've just been Pi Curious, come, come, come. Come join us. Brad Crowell 8:55 Well, I'm just excited. I can't believe how. Lesley Logan 8:58 How excited everyone is. Brad Crowell 8:59 How excited, yeah, the vibes are strong, okay? So come, don't sit on this, because there might not be anywhere left.Lesley Logan 9:06 And also, if you're like, oh, I work at this studio and you're having other studio, get your ass over there. It's called community, okay? Brad Crowell 9:11 It's called community, y'all. Come across the road. (inaudible)Lesley Logan 9:14 Yeah. Do it because here's the deal, no one's gonna be like, oh, my God, that's like, working in that studio. They're gonna be focused on I'm there. Okay?Brad Crowell 9:24 Yeah. Well, it is true. Lesley Logan 9:25 They're actually focused on I'm there and we're gonna have fun. And I'm tired of people feeling like, oh, I can't do that. They teach like this. I can't, I don't teach like that. It. Brad Crowell 9:34 Nobody gives a shit. Lesley Logan 9:35 No one does because it's called community and I am on a mission to make sure Pilates lovers meet each other all over the place, and we have so much fun, and it's quite like reunions, and you'll see people you haven't seen in a long time. (inaudible) So come, come, come, bring your friends. All right, that's opc.me/tour to get your ticket. We do have an audience question. Brad Crowell 9:53 We do. Lesley Logan 9:54 It is in your text messages, Brad.Brad Crowell 9:56 It is, it is. The question is actually from @SL4081, how is the MOTR Core Balanced Body equipment for Pilates?Lesley Logan 10:09 I think it's like the MOTR piece of equipment for Pilates. I think that's what they're asking.Brad Crowell 10:13 For Pilates. How is it for Pilates?Lesley Logan 10:16 Like, how is it used for Pilates, maybe?Brad Crowell 10:19 (inaudible) I feel like I'm missing a piece. Lesley Logan 10:20 Well, you know. Brad Crowell 10:21 How is it for Pilates? How does it work for Pilates?Lesley Logan 10:24 I mean, they clearly took a lot of time taking. Brad Crowell 10:25 How is it official for Pilates? Lesley Logan 10:26 They took a lot of time on that YouTube name Brad, the details for this. Okay, so here's the deal. I need to be really honest with you guys. I've been on a MOTR. I am not certified in a MOTR. I am not trained to teach a MOTR, and I don't. So I can't rave about it the way that my friends who are trained on the MOTR rave about it. So I'm gonna give a shout out to SuperKate, Erika Quest, I think even teeny_pilates on Instagram there's one more. Oh my gosh, sweet girl who isn't the OC anyways, so there are tons of people who are truly trained in teaching on the MOTR, and that is who I would really pose this question to. I am a classical Pilates teacher, which means I kind of just play on my classical equipment, and I know a lot about that. What I will say about the MOTR that's really cool is you can do a lot of movements that are in Pilates using the MOTR and it doesn't take up a lot of space. You could not use the MOTR on OPC to take a reformer class. You can't do that. Or you can't do that for a Pilates Anytime class, you can't. Brad Crowell 11:27 Well, it's not a reformer. Lesley Logan 11:28 No, but people do reformer moves on it, just like they do mat moves on it, just like they do bar moves on it. So there's a lot of similarities there. But if you buy a MOTR, you need to take MOTR classes. That's what you just have to do. So if you want a MOTR, my discount works for that MOTR. Brad Crowell 11:43 It does. Lesley Logan 11:44 And then you can reach out to me and I'll connect you with one of those few girls that I just mentioned, and they will teach you. Brad Crowell 11:49 I love that. Lesley Logan 11:49 So I'm so sorry. Clearly, I don't know all the answers, but if you have a question, you want me to take a stab at it, or Brad to take a stab at then you want to send in your questions. You apparently can call us, we say the number somewhere in the credits. So listen to that, or just send it to me on Instagram or YouTube. We get them there, and then we'll answer your questions here.Brad Crowell 12:08 Yeah, you can text us at 310-905-5534. Stick around we'll be right back. Brad Crowell 12:13 Okay, let's talk about Shayla Pelton. Shayla is a passionate boudoir photographer based in Arizona, dedicated to helping individuals and couples cultivate self love and elevate their mindsets. Inspired by her own experiences and the transformative power of photography, she believes that everyone, regardless of age, body changes or life circumstances, is beautiful and deserving of celebrating their unique selves. We had the pleasure of meeting Shayla in person at James Patrick's event, the last event that he hosted for that series. I can't remember what it was called. Lesley Logan 12:49 You guys had to listen to that episode, but he is such a fascinating man. We are at the event. It's a last day. Everyone's having the best time, and he's like, we're never doing this again. And I was like, oh god, okay, that's one way to end a run, but we did get to meet her in person. And she is such a she's like a little firefly, but I mean that in the best way, she lights up wherever she's at, and she's really excited. I just really loved we had a great time talking with her. And I was like, I have to, I want to have her on the Be It Pod. And I told her you have to pitch yourself. Because that was what's it about. That was what the event was about. So I couldn't just invite her on, she has to pitch herself, and she wrote me a great pitch. And what I loved about this.Brad Crowell 13:29 Well, she came from a career in retail, and really wanted to work for herself, and has been a photographer, and was always passionate about it. And we got super fired up for her, because we love entrepreneurialism, and we absolutely believe that you can make money working for yourself, and there's no reason that you can't make money being a photographer, as inspired by James, he does the same thing. And so it was really cool to meet her and be able to encourage her. And then also, well, basically, we were there helping people cultivate their pitches and to figure things out. So it was great to challenge her a little bit, and then she pitched us, and we said, this is really awesome. Great job. Lesley Logan 13:32 Well, we haven't had a boudoir photographer on the show. We've we have brought on Dr. Celeste Holbrook, and we've brought on Nikole Mitchell, and we also just had Dr. Jordin Wiggins, who is a pleasure coach as well. And so we've had people on who talk about, oh and Kelli Adame like pleasure and receiving and all these things. But if you don't feel sexy, like we have a big jump, that's a hard thing. And so I really like what Shayla does, because the boudoir photography used to just be like the gift you gave your future husband, like some weird gift to the wedding, but it can really be for you, and that's what we got to talk about.Brad Crowell 14:32 I think that's my biggest takeaway, is that boudoir photography isn't necessarily about sex. Lesley Logan 14:50 No, I think it's actually about confidence and seeing yourself in the most beautiful way that you exist in and no matter your body type or scars you have. I follow her on Instagram, and I see the different women she photographs, and they're fucking all stunning. I'm like, I want to look like that. Like it's just so fun, because the camera catches you at this, she's so good at catching your true light, and you're showing things, and it's just great. And then you get to see yourself through that lens. I was talking to my client, (inaudible), today, and she's like, I don't see myself every day, so I don't think anything has changed. I think you should take a picture. I don't like to take a picture of myself. Okay, well, I'm looking at you and you have changed. So either I'm going to be the person who tells you that you have to believe me, or you take a picture so that, because we see ourselves every single day, we don't realize the changes that are happening. And so I really love it. Lesley Logan 15:42 Anyways, boudoir photography is about reclaiming your sexuality. Everything about us is different. Everything about us is worthy of love. And so even though it's not about sex, we shouldn't be ashamed of the sexuality that we have, because it's part of who we are, and it's part of that charisma and that charm, and also, ladies, it's fucking awesome and okay to have sexuality and sexual desires and enjoy pleasures and that's why I keep bringing these women on and telling you to do that, because the burnouts and breakdowns you're having, they're having, I bet you maybe a little pleasure and a little enjoyment. But if you don't think that you are sexy or you're not confident in that way, I think a boudoir photoshoot could be a really great gift to yourself. And if you hate it, throw it away. You won't. You just won't. You'll just really think they're cool.Brad Crowell 16:27 Yeah. And I think that that was an interesting thing, where she talked about, you know, I think the questions you asked her were really helpful for people who are, like, boudoir curious, where it's like, I'm not ready for that, or what is it going to be like? Or, I don't know, but what other questions in that way. But what was really great is that the preconceptions that people have about boudoir photography is that you have to be sexy, you have to be hot, you have to be all the things. And Shayla talked about how that is not reality. That is actually not at all what it's about. You don't have to show up performing for the camera. It's actually when you get to know her and the two of you have conversations, she's gonna work with you to bring that element out of you. And no matter what you're wearing or not wearing, or how ready you feel, she's gonna help you get to that place. And she said, I love that she intentionally doesn't doctor up the images all over the place, because she's going to capture the beauty inside of the person that she's photographing, and doesn't have to add all this extra stuff to it. And I just thought that was really cool. Lesley Logan 17:40 Yeah, I mean, I'm a big fan, and now I think everyone should go do a boudoir photoshoot. I think I should do one.Brad Crowell 17:47 I'm in. Lesley Logan 17:48 I know you are. Brad Crowell 17:51 Sign me up. Maybe I should do one. Lesley Logan 17:53 Okay. Brad Crowell 17:54 I'd be down. Lesley Logan 17:59 Okay, let's, we'll figure this out. We'll work on it. It'll be a 20 20, what's next year? 2025. We'll put it on the list. Brad Crowell 18:05 Well, she said on embracing your true self, we never see ourselves in that beautiful vulnerability, because we always have our shields up, right? Only people that we are most intimate with ever see us in those moments. And she explained that when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we don't feel that sexy or that fun or that fire, but we all have it. We all have it. We just don't always let ourselves see it.Lesley Logan 18:07 You're so busy thinking about I got these 17 things to do today. I got these many things to do today, and then your partner comes in and they're like, all they're seeing you all sexy, and you're like, oh my God, my brain is in the wrong journey. But that's the thing.Brad Crowell 18:16 And having a photo like this is an incredible way to remind yourself. Lesley Logan 18:45 That you are. Brad Crowell 18:46 That you have it, right, and it's a moment, but I can't remember who we were talking to, who said they write down their wins on a note card, and when they're feeling down, they pull out the note card. Was that all the way back to Amy Ledin? I think it was.Lesley Logan 19:02 My mom's favorite episode, she, and in the two and a half years I've been doing this podcast, guys, my mom only likes episode five. Brad Crowell 19:10 Now that is not true. Not true. Lesley Logan 19:12 She still quotes it. Brad Crowell 19:13 She still quotes it, but she likes more than episode five. But seriously, this is like that where if you're struggling with confidence, you can pull out this photo, and even if it's only for you, you still have this, this moment where you're like, I am a rock star, and I love that. I think that is, I think that's necessary. Lesley Logan 19:33 Yeah, I agree. I agree. Brad Crowell 19:34 Yeah. All right, stick around. We'll be right back. Brad Crowell 19:37 All right. Finally, let's talk about those, Be It Action Items. Say it with me. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Shayla Pelton? Lesley Logan 19:49 I think you know what I want. Brad Crowell 19:50 Tell me. Lesley Logan 19:50 I want our listeners to record themselves saying that and then we can use their recording. Brad Crowell 19:57 That'd be fun. Lesley Logan 19:57 Just like Keith Olbermann has his friends introduce like and now here's Keith. We can have different listeners, yeah, we can have different listeners send in themselves saying, what bold executable, intrinsic or targeted steps?Brad Crowell 20:11 Okay, I love this, and I really love this, y'all. Call our number and leave us a voicemail of you saying, "What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo?" And we will take those clips and we'll start to put them into the show. Lesley Logan 20:29 I think that'd be so fun. And if that's too long, you could also record yourself saying, "Until next time, Be It Till You See It."Brad Crowell 20:36 Yeah, that too. That too. So 310-905-5534. Hit us up. Okay.Lesley Logan 20:42 (inaudible) was like, what's going on? Why are people emailing us this? Brad Crowell 20:47 No, just call it. We won't answer. Just leave a voicemail, and then we'll get the voicemail. Lesley Logan 20:51 It's probably important to know we'll never answer. Brad Crowell 20:53 Well, that number is intentional that we're, I'm not picking that number up, but it's there for people to leave a voicemail. Lesley Logan 20:59 You could answer it. We just don't, because it's for voicemails. Brad Crowell 21:02 Yeah, my phone fucking rings. I don't answer it. Lesley Logan 21:04 (inaudible) way too much. Okay, well, just so we, call a different number if you want us to answer, but leave a message.Brad Crowell 21:09 Okay, so she said, book yourself a boudoir session. That is the Be It Action Item that you can take. You can do this. All you gotta do is the first step, which is book that session, whether that's with her, with Shayla, or with someone else. Do it for you. She has people fly into Phoenix to work with her,by the way.Lesley Logan 21:27 We definitely have amazing recommendations for where to stay in that area, too, so. Brad Crowell 21:31 We do. There's also an incredible botanical gardens that you should see while you're in town. Anyway, she said you should book this for yourself, because you are worthy. You're worthy today. You're worthy right now. Lesley Logan 21:43 You don't have to send us the picture, but you do have to tell us now if you do this. Brad Crowell 21:46 Yeah, yeah. Also, she said, prioritize yourself by taking small moments every single day just for you. And she had personal experience with this where she said, when I started to work my yoga practice in for myself in the morning, I actually became an incredibly better person, and I performed better at work, and it was just better all around and she's talked about getting her nails done and being intentional about taking care of herself. So prioritizing yourself, and this is something that I'm sure you've heard Lesley talk about, self-care isn't selfish care. And when you prioritize yourself, you are going to show up better in every other aspect of your life, every other element of your life, for the people that you are intentionally taking care of or serving or working with, or your clients or your family or friends, whatever it is, when you prioritize yourself, you are going to be a better you.Lesley Logan 22:39 Yep, I love it. I'm in on that. She also said, put time into energy work and releasing generational trauma and healing in your own family. And I think this is really important, because we can try to, like, I just have therapy, but we don't always release the actual energy of that. And so I'm gonna highlight episode 421, with Dr. Louise Swartswalter, who will release like she's not gonna release my great grandfather shit. And you know what? I think I worry less. So that's really great. And I don't remember Lauren Zoeller's most recent episode, but Lauren Zoeller does somatic releasing work, and that is a great way to get rid of some of that trauma through energy work. We had Keri Ford, who's a somatics coach, who did that. Brad Crowell 23:18 Lauren is episode 388. Keri Ford, 175.Lesley Logan 23:24 Yeah, yeah. So anyways, I'm sure we've had other people, but those ones I remember. So do this because.Brad Crowell 23:31 We have Michael Unbroken.Lesley Logan 23:32 Oh. Don't tell him I didn't. Michael's episodes are really, he's working with mostly men now, though. So that (inaudible) that's kind of why there's lots. Brad Crowell 23:41 He's episode 298. Lesley Logan 23:43 No, I think we're good. I think that's plenty. We don't need to overwhelm them with trauma. They just need to do it. So here's the thing, if you don't, it doesn't, you can't shove this in like a closet and then never look at it again. It's gonna rear its ugly head. So do the work. Brad Crowell 23:57 Do the work.Lesley Logan 23:58 Because it makes a huge difference. And especially if you're a parent, it affects who you are for your kids to see, and it really does make big changes, so. You guys, I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 24:07 And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 24:08 Thank you so much for being here. Shayla, thank you for being amazing. I can't wait to hear how many people get some boudoir shoots. I really am excited. I think everyone needs a photoshoot. And I think a lot of people don't have pictures of themselves that they like because they don't have a professional take pictures of them. Your friends and family are never gonna take the most amazing picture, like Monica Linda would or Shayla would. You know, you just need a good photographer. I love all the pictures that professionals took of me. I mean, Brad's great too, because he's also a professional but I like theirs too. So go do it. It'll change your life. It'll help you Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 24:08 Bye for now. Lesley Logan 24:41 That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

And we all deserve to be memorialized in that, in every single season of our lives. And I think it is so important to acknowledge the love that you have for yourself now instead of waiting until you look like some other person's idea of beauty because really at the end of the day we don't need to change a thing.Lesley Logan 0:23 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:02 All right, ladies, how are you doing? Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast. I have a very fun topic for us today. Shayla Pelton is our guest. She's a boudoir photographer, and she is cool, and I just love her energy, and I love her enthusiasm, and I have to be honest, like I did a fedora shoot many, many, many, many, many, many moons ago, just for my friend who wanted to do it as a photographer and never thought about it again, and the way she talks about it, and the way she explores and the way she expresses what it's for. And every time I see pictures on her feed, I'm like, you know, I think I want to do that because kind of scares you a little bit doesn't it and also in a good way. And so we're going to talk about self love, worthiness, being a mom, trying to make a side hustle become a full hustle, and all of that stuff. So here is Shayla Pelton. Lesley Logan 1:52 All right, Be It babe, this is going to be fun. I got to meet this person when Brad and I were down in Arizona, and we were doing a really fun talk that I'm pretty sure they expected us to do a whole different thing on the same topic. But at any rate, Brad and I got to talk to our guest today, Shayla Pelton, and she's like, a boudoir photographer. Then she went into like, started telling me her whole story, which she's going to tell you in a second. And I was just, oh my God, we have to have her on the Be It pod, because what you do could absolutely help people step into their be it till they see it. So Shayla, will you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at?Shayla Pelton 2:27 Yes, hello. Well, thanks for having me. I am Shayla Pelton. I am a boudoir photographer in Phoenix, Arizona, and my passion is to help everybody love themselves better. So I do share my story. I do work with men, women, couples. I really even just like talking about self love and actual sex with viewers online. I just want everybody to mutually, like, elevate and be able to raise our mindsets and our self love. Lesley Logan 2:56 Yeah, so in case people think that boudoir is like the glamor shot that they did at the mall, or it's something that you only give to your husband on the wedding day. Can you tell us a little bit about what you really feel boudoir is? Because I don't know. I guess I felt like it's something you did for other people, but you just said it, it's like for self love. So let's get into what is boudoir and how is it self love? Shayla Pelton 3:20 Yeah, well, and also, I would even love to preface that with the very first time I ever did a boudoir session for myself was a wedding gift for my husband. And in my mind, that's all it was, right? And then I had couple more kids, and in my mind, I was like, I'm not worthy of another session. Why would I ever do that? I'm a mom now. So I really did, like, I was able to kind of transform my idea of what I was worth and how, even though I am older, I have had children, my body's changed. I'm still beautiful, and I am still worthy of love, especially for myself. So I really do love to just stress to people that even if you go into it as intending to give it to as a gift to somebody, ultimately, the way that you feel inside after your session is going to be more gift than you could ever dream for that person. So it's kind of like a double but, yeah, I think that ultimately, boudoir photography is about reclaiming your sexuality, learning to really accept everything that's unique about you, and whether it's the you know, my eyes, for example, right? They're different sizes, and there's different things about us, right? I have a ton of freckles, and I have this little snail tooth back here. Everything about us is different, and everything about us is worthy of love.Lesley Logan 4:32 Yeah, no, I think that's beautiful. I think that's really because it is true outside of boudoir photography, I tell people all the time, if you need to get your pictures taken, right? Like, get your pictures taken. And people like, I'm uncomfortable to have my picture taken. And I'm like, people don't see the things that we nitpick about ourselves. I, too, I'm like, what is going on with this? Why is my eye like a different shape, right? So we see all these things, but most people don't see that in that having that style of shoe or it's about just showing off all parts of yourself and reclaiming those parts and not shoving them or shaming them or things like that. It's really powerful. And yes, you can give it as a gift, or can just be a gift for yourself. It could be like, this, I look fucking awesome, and I want to celebrate this moment, and I want to memorialize this moment. Shayla Pelton 5:20 Exactly. Lesley Logan 5:21 Okay, so there are people who don't think that they're sexy. There are people who don't think that they're worthy. There are people who think, well, that might be nice for them, or they think that they need to change what they look like to be able to do this. What do you say to that? And how do we talk about that?Shayla Pelton 5:35 Oh, absolutely yes. I think that every single person that I talk to that wants a session, but they're putting it off for whatever reason. It usually comes down to, oh, they want to lose weight, or they want to do this or change that. And I'm like, you are worthy now in this very moment. And we all deserve to be memorialized in that, in every single season of our lives. And I think it is so important to acknowledge the love that you have for yourself now, instead of waiting until you look like some other person's idea of beauty. Because really, at the end of the day, we don't need to change a thing, right? Maybe there are things that we can do to improve or whatever, but you don't have to. It doesn't make you more worthy or more beautiful or sexier or anything. Your heart, your soul. This is just a shell. Everything else is just love.Lesley Logan 6:23 That's beautiful. For you, like, I'm gonna be a boudoir photographer. How did you, how do you step into this? Because also, like, that's gotta be unique story. What's your be it till you see it becoming a boudoir photographer?Shayla Pelton 6:35 It feels like it was just a whole lifetime of steps and different things that happened to kind of push me in different directions. So first off, I always love photography. So even when I was a kid, we never had a professional camera. But if my mom ever bought one of those disposable Kodak cameras, I would just fill that mother up within the first 10 minutes, wait a couple months to develop it. But yeah, after I had kids, or after I had my daughter, my second, I got my first professional camera, and I started kind of doing, usually for family, but I started, you know, friends, and then friends of friends, and then I was referred to like a wedding, and then I did a couple newborns. So everything just spiraled with my photography business. And I actually made it official in 2020 so that was great. February, I got my trade name, and then, boom, shut down. I was starting to really see it as something that I could do professionally. But at the time, I mean, I just left Costco. I was there for 17 years, so I was really struggling with trying to make everything work. You know, give my attention to all different areas and aspects, but still honor what I was doing and my passion. And I knew that I had this love for it, but I still was not really asked about boudoir and anytime I even thought about doing boudoir photography, immediately in my mind, it was like, no, I'm not comfortable doing that. I wouldn't want to make somebody else feel uncomfortable about themselves. And really now, when I look back at that, I realize it's because I had so much self love to work on and I had so much growing to do myself. So I knew that if I wasn't comfortable myself, that would immediately like near to my client. I finally got to a point where I was gaining confidence with what I was doing. I had started hearing from more people like, hey, will you do a boudoir session for me? And then finally, like, you know, the wheels are turning and one of my friends that I've known since we were 12, when we were just little dorks on the playground, she had, the year prior, been in a horrific car accident on the freeway, and she rear ended a semi truck, and she had these incisions that went from her pubic area all the way up past like, her navel, up to her chest bone, and then everywhere else. She was changed forever, but she was having such a hard time loving those changes, appreciating even though she knew like she was strong, wow, I survived this. It was a constant reminder when she looked in the mirror, now she's ugly, now she's not worthy, now she's not lovable. And so she asked me, she was about to move to Texas, so she asked me, hey, will you just, will you do a boudoir session for me? You can use my apartment. I'll be your guinea pig. So I said let's do it. So I printed off poses online, and I brought some lighting, and the whole time I'm shuffling pages and adjusting the lighting, but I can so, like, still to this day, it's been at least almost three years, but the way that she at first, was very hesitant to, you know, caress herself, or, like, move, the way that she transformed during that hour, hour and a half, the way her eyes, at first, she was kind of shy, coy, and then all of a sudden, fire like just body language, her response, the way she felt afterwards. And the entire time, I felt, even I (inaudible) response. I felt like this fire burning in my soul, and it felt so good. And I, immediately, also started feeling better about myself, and like, damn, this is, I love this. I love the way that this feels. And so from then, I was all in. I did some model calls, and I just kept building the experience. And at first I was a little nervous, because we all have self-doubt. What if the first time was a fluke, because we knew each other so well, how could I recreate this with somebody else? But then I kept doing it, and then I was photographing complete strangers in this super raw, intimate, vulnerable state, and I was getting the same results, and they were feeling so good. And I was, oh, it feels so good. So yeah, I just I grew my portfolio, and I followed some of the best educators in boudoir, and I just learned everything that I could. Got my socials up and running, which was exhausting. But yeah, I finally just went full time in May, so three months ago. Lesley Logan 10:59 Amazing. Shayla Pelton 11:00 Yes. Thank you. Thank you. It is, it's, it feels, it just feels so good, even though there's things that I've loved and I've enjoyed and I'm good at, nothing gave me that spark like boudoir photography. Lesley Logan 11:12 Yeah, thank you for sharing the whole journey though. I think so many people can resonate. Sometimes we're nervous about the things and we're drawn to things so there were, they scare us a little bit. It didn't cross your mind on accident. Like, you know what I mean? The things that we resist sometimes are there to assist. Shayla Pelton 11:30 Yeah. Absolutely. Lesley Logan 11:32 Yeah. So. Shayla Pelton 11:33 And I think, too, there were even moments where just conversations or the way I'll compliment somebody, like, throughout my lifetime, I can remember people telling me, oh, wow, you make me feel sexy, right? Like when we were teenagers, early 20s, you make me feel sexy, make me feel beautiful, make me feel worthy. And I was already doing that, and then I just learned to do it with the camera. Lesley Logan 11:51 Yeah, that's so fun. Okay, so you started this a few years ago, and now you're full time. And I think anyone listening, whether it's something, you don't have to be a boudoir photographer, some things just take time but if you are consistent and it also sounds like once you found this thing, you went in on it. So even though it wasn't a full time thing, you were doing boudoir and not going and shooting baseball games at the same time. You niched it so you could get down on this.Shayla Pelton 12:17 Yeah. I did. I did niche down. Yes. I think now that I'm full time photographer, I will do anything, but boudoir is always my passion, and that's always what I will prioritize and and even if I'm doing a family session, talk to the mom like, hey girl, right? When was the last time you really treated yourself? So it's, you know, but yes, boudoir, it's just, it's amazing.Lesley Logan 12:38 So you said prioritize. So I just want to come up. How do you prioritize you? Because you, starting a new business is not easy. You have mentioned kids plural, so, so and your spouse. So how do you prioritize you? Because it sounds like even though you are now more comfortable being a boudoir photographer, you still have to prioritize yourself to have that self worth and that and believe in yourself in that way. So what do you do? Shayla Pelton 13:04 Yeah, well, I'll even add to it that for the first 12, 13 years of being a mom, my oldest is 16, I never prioritized myself, like most people, parental units like, weren't that great. So I'm always trying to elevate. I'm trying to do better, and I'm trying to avoid the parent yield that seems to always be there, like I'm not doing enough, I'm not being there enough. I'm not being present enough. So I never prioritize myself. I didn't treat myself. I didn't really take care of myself. And it's always like I was telling myself, you're being a good mom, because you're always there, and you're, right? You're not, you're not doing anything for yourself. So I finally, I started, you know, having conversations with other people and boudoir photography as well, like hearing from other educators about how important it is to take care of yourself, because if you don't take care of yourself, then that will affect everybody else in your life. So by you prioritizing yourself and at least taking small moments every single day just for yourself, you can show up so much better to the people in your lives. And that changed my entire family dynamic, like, tremendously. It completely, completely changed our lives, because suddenly I was scheduling at least a small amount of time in the morning for yoga, get some form of exercise in, a little bit of meditation. I started getting my nails done. I would do my makeup, which, I mean, it sounds kind of vain, but if you just need to lift up, right? If you just want to get that boost in confidence, you throw that on immediately. It's a boost. And it is a little self care, so little things like that. I started doing more and more for myself. Now I could feel it building. And at the same time, I'm also sharing that journey with my kids so that they can see, like, wow, this is how long it took for our mom to even appreciate her worth, but she's now teaching us hey this is what you can do, and even if you falter, you can always try and do better, because I've struggled with that still. I'm still not perfect. I still have bad days, but I keep giving myself grace and being like, hey you're doing what you can today, every day, your best is going to look different. So I still do try to prioritize myself. School started, so it's a little bit easier. My youngest is five, and he's officially in kindergarten all day, so I have been able to get a little bit extra me time. She's been a dope.Lesley Logan 15:17 I love that you shared it with them, because I think it's, it is so important for them to see that their parents don't revolve around them so that also they can have dreams and aspirations and you know? Shayla Pelton 15:28 Exactly. Yeah. And I actually, so my husband and I went to Baltimore last week for a photo shoot for actually me to get my photos taken by someone that I followed since getting into boudoir photography. It was a dream shoot for me. Oh my God, my pictures look so good. Either way, my daughter was so upset, she's 10, and she was so offended that we would leave her for three days. I sat down with her, and I said, I want you to know that it's okay someday in the future, when you're a parent, if you want to do something for yourself and you are still making sure that your family is taken care of, everyone's needs are met, that's okay, and you're allowed to do that. And I was like, I know this makes you upset, because you love me. You wanna be around me all the time, and I love you too, but it is good for me to have this time and to do this for myself, and it's good for me and daddy to have some time too. So it was good, yeah. I try and turn the struggles into the learning moments. Lesley Logan 16:26 I think that's impressive. So coming back onto boudoir, what is some misconceptions that people have about it? I think that's a good place to start. Shayla Pelton 16:33 Okay. Well, first of all, misconception is like, oh I have to be a model or I have to have experience being in front of the camera or I have to be hot, right? It's like someone else's idea of hot, absolutely not. You as you are even no makeup, you're fucking beautiful. So like wardrobe, you have to only wear lingerie. You have to only wear sexy stuff. You could wear a paper bag, right? If you wanted to. A lot of clients do jerseys. They'll do even just like a white tank top and shorts or, right, little booty shorts or something. There's so many different ways that you can not only emphasize your curves and the things about you that you want to show off, but also honor yourself and your story and things that actually have meaning to you. And I think there's so many ways to personalize a boudoir session. People don't even realize that. They're like, oh, I'll just show up and get on the bed, you know, and boom. And then not being a model thing, most of my clients have never even had their own photo shoot done before. And I mean, everyone has this conceptions of to be good in front of a camera, you have to be photogenic, like, oh, I'm not photogenic. And really, I believe that it just comes down to being comfortable from the camera, and most people aren't, because it is awkward, it feels unnatural, and oftentimes a person taking the pictures isn't going to be able to connect with you on the deeper level and make you feel comfortable and draw out those beautiful emotions in you. And that's what I've really learned throughout this journey, is I can make anybody take a great picture, because I'm just going to get on your level. I'm going to relate to you. We're going to have a great time, we're gonna laugh, we're gonna be silly, we're gonna talk, and I'm gonna give you that space to just get comfortable and be yourself, and that will show in the pictures every single time.Lesley Logan 18:30 Yeah, I think you're completely correct about the photogenic side. I think it's just being comfortable. I've seen some of your photos, and I think some of the most beautiful photos of women without makeup, you can just be sitting on a couch like yourself. And I think maybe it's because of the models and the more adult space that we're like, oh, I have to look like that. And actually, you don't. You and in fact, there's something so beautiful about just there's something so beautiful about the real you shining through and when we get out of our head and we are just very present, you all need someone like Shayla, because every photographer I've ever had, my best photos come from the photographer is a someone I trust. They're someone that I'm comfortable with, they're someone I feel like they get it. They're this is not just a job to them. They're very involved in it, and they're making me feel comfortable. And I think that's the best part. What are some reasons why women have done a boudoir shoot? Obviously, there's the wedding gift, but what are some other reasons why?Shayla Pelton 19:28 Yeah, a lot of women want a little confidence boost. They probably heard from someone else, like, hey, I had this experience, and it was amazing, like, transformative, life changing. And a lot of them are saying hi, I'm gonna do that for myself. That sounds really great, but I'm gonna wait until I'm ready for it, right? So silly. (inaudible)Lesley Logan 19:48 Everyone's ready to lie, right?Shayla Pelton 19:50 Yes. Exactly. Don't lie to yourself. That's definitely a big one. And then, you know, maybe you hit like, a big birthday milestone, or one of my clients she actually at 63 beats cancer for the second time. That was her gift to herself. So like different ways that women find to honor themselves at a certain season of their lives. And then, of course, yes, there's the gift, you know, for your partner or special somebody.Lesley Logan 20:18 Has anyone had surprise reactions?Shayla Pelton 20:21 Oh yeah. Well, because almost everybody, even if they know what they think they're going to expect from the session, there's still that doubt. There's no way that I'm going to look as great as all these other women on her web page or her Instagram. I can't do that, but then almost immediately, and this is why I love doing it. But I will take the first couple shots, and then I'll turn around the camera and I will show them no retouching, no editing whatsoever. This is how beautiful you look. And so when they see that themselves, it is such a huge motivator, even in the session, they start almost immediately, like getting more confidence and just kind of like owning their space and their bodies in such a clear difference from where we started. And then, of course, when we do the reveals, because I do same day reveals, I get tears at least 50% of the time. Happy ones, they're happy tears. I have never, ever, ever made someone cry. But yeah, it's like that wow I truly am a fucking gorgeous woman and or man, or man, but I do, I just, I don't love over retouching photos so I don't body shape, I don't do too much obvious skin smoothing or anything like that, because I really do want people to see like I am beautiful exactly as I am. This is me, and so I really do and when they look at their photos, there's minimal touches from when I took them out of the camera, but there's always just an awe, like. Lesley Logan 21:51 Yeah, I think it's so, I know I want to touch on, like, the I'll do it when I'm ready. This, it's so funny y'all can think back to looking at pictures of yourself in college and going, wow, why didn't I like myself more look how good I looked? So, may I just suggest that you are ready now because I just read a mantra like, this is the youngest I'll ever be right now. Like, tomorrow I will be older and so, yes. So, to have those special memories of who you are and capturing all about that you are, not just pictures of you in your favorite dress or like at a dinner with your friends. We have tons of those. Those are easy to get, but pictures of just from the inside out who you are, and have that in a moment, and also to really have I love that you keep like, that self love, I think it is so one of the things that's so hard to do is to love yourself. It is like a lifelong journey, but also just getting to have a moment to see how beautiful you are in your whole like your whole body, all of you. Shayla Pelton 22:54 Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Because, I mean, truly, we never see ourselves like just beautiful vulnerability. We never really see that, because like the people that love us the most do, the people that we're the most intimate with they see us when we're in those moments where we're passionate and we're feeling sexy and we're feeling confident, but when we look at ourselves in the mirror, or we get pictures taken of us on the street, we don't feel like that. So we don't see that. And I think there's something so powerful in seeing that just raw version of yourself, and people are usually very surprised about that, like, what do you mean?Lesley Logan 23:28 I think we all need them so we can go, oh, I'm having it. Oh, look at that. Look at how I'm amazing. I can go take another day. Shayla Pelton 23:34 Yeah, absolutely. And I think it's nice to think I can just train my mind to love myself, and now I'm like, all my self love issues are healed, and I'm doing great. But I think there's something that is it's so powerful in the experience, because, you know, hair and makeup, you're in this space where you're vulnerable and it's intimate, and you really get to just open yourself up. And it is just something that's so special, everyone should experience it at least once in your life. It's and it's not for everybody, right? Some people, none of my clients yet, but some people do it and then, like, you know what? I did it. I did that. But everyone else is like, oh my god, I gotta do that again.Lesley Logan 24:19 I think, but also, I think, depending how you are raised, the idea of to being sexy at all you know, can be a difficult thing to admit to yourself, and especially if you've had kids or things you're like, I don't know if I should be sexy or if I should see myself that way. And and I think you can be multi-hyphenated people. You can have all these different parts of you. Yeah.Shayla Pelton 24:40 Yeah, absolutely. I think we lose that as we get older and we're like, we just, I don't know, we see ourselves differently, but you can be anything. You can be whatever you want. I was very much like, I would wear long sleeve shirts lightened up and always mom jeans. Four or five years ago, that was my everyday attire. And I was like, you know what? I feel sexy. I'm gonna dress a little sexy. My daughter kind of hates it, but we, we have lots of talks about how it's, it's okay for women to wear what they feel comfortable (inaudible). Lesley Logan 25:10 I love, yeah, I think that's but I also think that's so cool, because she gets to grow up. I mean, it's okay that she can voice out how she feels. But also, also, just like you would never want anyone to tell her what to wear. You know? Shayla Pelton 25:22 Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Lesley Logan 25:26 I mean it's just a wonderful it's we're always learning, you know, and that helps us grow. And I think it's so cool. I also love that your children are a wide variety of ages, and I think that probably helps you with your different clients who are older or have just had a kid, and all these things, we just tell stories about ourselves and what we look like and doing a boudoir shoot. You guys, if you have not seen how cool they can be, it is kind of amazing how it doesn't matter the size of your body or the scars on your body or what you've been through, there is just beauty in you being yourself.Shayla Pelton 25:57 Yes, exactly, exactly. Yeah. Lesley Logan 26:01 Shayla, what are you most excited about right now?Shayla Pelton 26:03 Oh, man, I am most excited to get fully booked. I want to spread as much self love as I possibly can, and I'm also doing a lot more of collabs with other photographers, other people that I know, where I'm really trying to also devote energy to creative projects and things that I enjoy. I'm just looking forward to the work to growing every day. I really do think that I learn a little bit and I give myself more grace, and I get a little bit stronger. So it is a journey, and it's never, never quite finished, but I'm definitely very happy with where I'm at now. And I feel so in love with boudoir photography.Lesley Logan 26:44 I mean, that's who we all want to take a photo shoot with. We're gonna take a brief break and find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you and your Be It Actions Items. Lesley Logan 26:51 All right, Shayla, you said you live in Phoenix. Where can people connect with you online? Or how do you, how can they book with you? How can they see your work?Shayla Pelton 26:59 Yeah, let's start with Instagram, because from there you get all my website links, all the nitty gritty details, and you'll see, obviously, right up at tons of images and behind the scenes. So my Instagram handle is shaylapeltonphotography, and definitely, let's be friends.Lesley Logan 27:15 Yeah. And then you've given us a lot of ideas, but bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps we can take to be it till we see it. What do you have for us? Shayla Pelton 27:25 Well, first of all, you can book yourself in the boudoir session, whether it's with me or somebody else, just do it for you, because you're worthy right now. But then going forward, I would really, no matter where you think you're at in life with your own self love a healing journey, I would definitely put time into energy work and releasing generational trauma and healing wounds within your own family, because the more that you really heal from the inside, it just, it, it always radiates outwards, and not just with you, but with everybody in your life. So.Lesley Logan 28:03 I love that. You guys, if you do the boudoir shoot, if you do it with Shayla, that's amazing. And if you don't, then you better tell us you did it. We want to celebrate you. Shayla Pelton 28:10 Absolutely. Lesley Logan 28:11 Yeah. Oh, you're so amazing. I'm so excited for you. Congrats on going full time. It's a really big deal. It's so scary. But you were in the greatest place. You have so much, so many different ways people can come and take their shots with you, and if we inspired you to do boudoir shoot, please let us know, because I do think it's really cool. It's definitely on my mind since I've met you, so though I don't see myself doing that with anyone but you, so I've got to figure that out. At any rate.Shayla Pelton 28:39 Let's talk. We'll figure it out. Lesley Logan 28:40 Let's talk. You guys, share this with a friend. Share this with a friend who's having a hard time feeling beautiful. You know, maybe this is what they need to see themselves the way that you see them and the way other people see them. And until next time, Be It Till You See It.

Overcoming Objections in Your Boudoir Photography Sales Session- Episode 107 of the Sustainable Freedom with Boudoir Photography Podcast with Tracy Lynn! Receiving pushback from clients can be emotionally challenging. Imagine spending hours capturing beautiful images and investing so much time into perfecting each image, only to have a client question the value of your work. It's gut-wrenching. It can make you feel like you didn't do your job right or like you've disappointed them. This emotional reaction is natural, but it's crucial to not let these feelings interfere with your sales process. If you get stuck in your feelings, you risk tanking the sale and undermining your confidence and professionalism. So, how do you navigate these challenging moments? By understanding that client objections are a normal part of the IPS process and arming yourself with strategies to address them effectively. The first step is recognizing that these objections are not personal attacks. Instead, they are opportunities to clarify, educate, and guide your clients towards making a decision that they will feel good about. In general, there are two main objections that photographers face during IPS sessions: "It's too expensive" and "I don't like them." Both of these objections stem from different concerns but can be equally challenging to address. Let's dive into each of these common objections and explore strategies for overcoming them. #boudoirphotographer #boudoir #boudoirphotographytips Book your 15 Minute Coaching Call: https://calendly.com/tracylynncoaching/free-15-minute-coaching-call Watch my FREE Masterclass to learn how to book out your photography schedule! https://tracylynncoaching.com/booked-out-photographer-registration/
