Minneapolis Boudoir Photographer | Client Spotlight: Confidence After Infertility

Every woman who walks into the studio brings a story with her. Some are joyful, some are complicated, and some are deeply emotional. Ms. S’s story was all three.

She first discovered Andrea Baue Photography on Facebook. What began as a simple click on a post turned into one of the most meaningful experiences of her life.

But her session was never just about photos.

It was about love. Resilience. Healing. And finally seeing herself the way her husband always had.

Why She Chose Boudoir

She and her husband had been navigating a long and emotional infertility journey — one filled with hope, disappointment, and difficult decisions. Despite the financial strain and stress, her husband stood by her side when she decided to try one more time.

She wanted to honor that unwavering support.

Rather than buying a gift, she wanted to create something deeply personal — something that said I see you, I love you, and I appreciate everything you’ve done for us.

So she booked a boudoir session.

She chose The Flirt Package and added on the Nudescapes bonus, which allowed her to select a few favorite images from each outfit — a playful, creative way to capture her confidence from multiple angles.

Her plan? To gift the photos to her husband for their upcoming anniversary.

Walking Into the Studio

Like many women before their first boudoir shoot, she felt nervous.

She described herself as awkward, unsure of what to expect, and definitely not someone who naturally felt sexy in front of a camera.

But from the moment she stepped inside the studio, those nerves began to fade.

“Andrea was AMAZING and made me feel so comfortable and sexy. She was fantastic to work with.”

With gentle guidance, humor, and encouragement, Andrea helped her relax into the experience. What started as uncertainty turned into laughter, confidence, and empowerment.

The Big Reveal

Nothing could have prepared her for her photo reveal.

At first, she was shocked.

The images were stunning — sensual, confident, and powerful. Seeing herself that way felt strange at first, but as she moved through the gallery, something shifted.

Instead of focusing on insecurities, she began to see her beauty clearly.

Andrea helped her process her emotions and gently guided her through any doubts. By the end, she wasn’t just looking at photos — she was recognizing her worth.

“Andrea helped me work through my insecurities and find my confidence.”

How Boudoir Changed Her

This session became far more than a photoshoot — it became a turning point.

She shared that the experience significantly boosted her self-confidence, something she had struggled with for years. Seeing herself in a new light helped her understand not only how beautiful she is, but why her husband finds her so captivating.

More than anything, it reminded her that she is strong, worthy, and deeply loved.

Would She Recommend Boudoir?

Without hesitation — yes.

“Absolutely — hands down! It was fun and exciting and Andrea was a blast to work with. DO IT. It makes you feel like a goddess and is such a fun experience!”

She emphasized that even women who aren’t gifting photos to a partner should still consider boudoir. The images are timeless — but the confidence lasts even longer.

A Final Thank You

She closed her experience with a heartfelt message:

“Thank you, Andrea — you were so kind, funny, and wonderful to work with. My session could not have gone any better.”

And that’s exactly what Andrea Baue Photography strives for — every single time.
