"MEET VERA"

I absolutely love barre and crystals so I have cultivated a career that allows me to engage with them on a daily basis and when I’m not in the studio you can find me outside amongst the trees.
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN OR MBTI TYPE?
I’m a INFJ-A personality type with a Leo Sun/Sagittarius Moon/Capricorn Rising.
WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE?
I am a serial optimist. I’ve often been told that I will see the best in any situation, even when it appears impossible.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A "ME" BOUDOIR AMBASSADOR?
When I was younger, I wanted to be a couture model and dress up in the artistic styles on the runway, but I was either “too short” or voluptuous. After my first session with Melanie, which was over 10 years ago, I was able to reimagine that dream taking shape. Being a ambassador is allowing many stages of me to be experienced and integrated at one time.

Too often we see a fake perception of people's reality, I want to change that.
Life is hard, show more love and light.

"MEET MALICE"
TELL US ABOUT YOU! (HOBBIES, INTERESTS, ETC.)
I'm a 30 something elder emo who believes in truth, beauty, freedom and love. I follow a strict one clove of garlic is never enough motto and am a newborn and maternity photographer. I love to go to shows, cook, and craft in my very little down time. I'm a mom, a girlfriend and a daughter trying to figure out this crazy thing called life.
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN OR MBTI TYPE?
I am a Scorpio and the rarest MBTI type: INFJ
WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE?
I rescue the flowers in the bargain bin at the grocery store and give them a loving life.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A "ME" BOUDOIR AMBASSADOR?
I've struggled with my weight, my skin tone, and other things I cannot change. At 30 something, I'm finally ready to embrace ME. As a photographer myself, it's very strange to be on this side of the camera, so I'm hoping this experience helps me, love ME.
"MEET KATHRYN"
TELL US ABOUT YOU! (HOBBIES, INTERESTS, ETC.)
I love almost everything to do with the outdoors and nature (not a fan of flying insects)—especially hiking, gardening, kayaking, birdwatching, and camping. I get excited about arts & music festivals, concerts, and thrift stores. I enjoy traveling but dislike that there’s not enough time to see or experience everything. I enjoy quiet time on my back porch or beach with a good book!
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN OR MBTI TYPE?
Leo! INFJ-T “Advocate”
WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE?
Although I am a parent & have a career in healthcare, I have an odd sense of humor. My closest friends never know what’s going to come out of my mouth. Take it or leave it!
I’m also an effective communicator and am honest without being brutal.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A "ME" BOUDOIR AMBASSADOR?
I was extremely shy about my body up until my mid-thirties. I’m not proud of that. There are areas that I’m insecure about, which have been magnified by the changes associated with aging. I discovered boudoir a little over a decade ago and have embraced it more over the past few years. There’s something about being in front of the lens that sets you free. I’m most confident with Melanie’s. We all deserve that feeling—no matter our size, skin color, age, or whatever society considers “flaws”.
"MEET ERIN"
TELL US ABOUT YOU! (HOBBIES, INTERESTS, ETC.)
My hobby is trying new things. New restaurant you want to try? Already there. Want go skydiving? lets go! Want go axe throwing? I'm down. Want to check out a new thrift store? Count me in! I do also enjoy spending time with my dog Harley, my Mother, deep conversations, reading, learning (I'm probably always taking some online course or certification for fun haha). But I really get a kick out of exploring and checking things off my never-ending bucket list.
WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN OR MBTI TYPE?
Virgo and INFJ-T
WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE?
I am the most stubborn curious person. Pro and Con really. I love to get to 'why' for just about everything and will at times obsess over understanding and learning as much as I possibly can. ie. "Why were jeans made?" "Why did someone choose their career path?" "Why why why!!?"
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A "ME" BOUDOIR AMBASSADOR?
I think everyone in the ambassador program can agree that we LOVE Melanie. She was the first person I ever shot with when I moved back home, and it was just so easy. There was no pressure, and I felt a surge of confidence I hadn't in awhile. That was YEARS ago. So when she asked, of course I wanted to be a part of this! But what really got me excited for joining were two things: having a creative outlet, and getting to build relationships. I love that Melanie has such a creative mind for boudoir shoots, but she is always a student of the art as well. She is open minded and excited to listen to ideas, suggestions, and let us be a part of the process with her. When she mentioned the idea that this would be a place I could meet other powerful women and build friendships, I thought, "this is exactly something I need to be a part of. " It can be hard to make friends as you get older, and this feels like a place that naturally like-minded women can get together and just do something they love, and then take the fun outside the shoots and build friendships.
