Welcome to 

Make Yourself a Priority – Annapolis Boudoir Studio

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know one the pillars I stand on is that women should make it a practice to put themselves first.

Recognize that putting yourself first doesn’t mean neglecting your spouse, children or other responsibilities. As a recovering people-pleaser, I can say the best thing I ever did was learn how to say “no”. It was tough at first and I would cringe inside just hearing myself say it. I remember when I was training myself to be true to my own feelings, I would brace for the impact of someone’s attitude or being upset with me.

What I found most of the time though was that they were completely ok with me turning down their request. Others tried to play the guilt game but standing by what I truly felt no matter what helped me to feel more empowered and less resentful in my relationships.

Putting yourself first is not selfish, it’s essential. Not only does it allow us to connect with our own desires and needs but it gives us space to reflect on what’s important:

We’re better able to:

  1. Make choices that align with our values and goals.
  2. Feel less stressed and overwhelmed when facing life’s obstacles
  3. Stop people-pleasing by creating healthy boundaries with friends & family members
  4. Approach our responsibilities with more clarity and purpose

You’ll be amazed at the profound sense of satisfaction and contentment these simple things can bring you. I encourage you to find activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul.

Remember, nobody suffers when you make yourself a priority but everyone loses when you lose yourself.

I knew that Veronica was the photographer for me when I took a scroll through her website and I could actually FEEL the energy from all the images and I knew that she meant every word written on it.  And on my session day, everything that I thought had been confirmed.  I'll be 50 this year and after having 6 children, it was time to celebrate this body and embrace all the sensuality it offers. Thank you for helping me fall in love with myself all over again.

I had so much fun during my shoot and intially I had booked a shoot to surprise my husband to be but I felt like such a bad ass during that shoot, I left feeling sexier than ever and when I saw my photos, my jaw dropped. I could NOT even take myself seriously (in the best way). I can't stop looking at my photos! Thank you, Veronica!

I can't stop looking at my photos!

This was my second shoot but the first in her new studio. Veronica has done it again! I got to work with her on my birthday this time around and had another great experience. I felt so comfortable with her and completely trusted her vision. I love the new space (especially the exposed brick) and can’t wait for the next one!

Veronica has done it again!

This is something I have always wanted to do but never got around to it. I'm 52 now. I wanted to celebrate where I am in my life. I have been single for the last 5 years and for this first time, I have become truly comfortable with my body and all of my curves. I decided this is the perfect time in my life for this photo shoot.
