SOUTHERN BELLES STUDIO || 2020 || OKLAHOMA BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY
If we had to give 2020 a word,
it would be GROWTH!
I know a lot of people are excited to see 2020 leave but for us it truly was a year of amazing growth!!
We moved into our new brick and mortar studio with @medinaaa.hair, plus we got to celebrate with our girl and be part of her big day and California.
We got to spend a lot of time at home with our children!!! lol
More than anything though we got to be a part of so many amazing women’s lives this year just like every year that’s the part that touches us the most is being able to connect with our clients and give them this incredible experience that they deserve.
Whether 2020 was “your year” or not, take a step back and look at ALL you accomplished in the last 365 days and be proud of yourself and proud of where you are today, take time to celebrate your GROWTH this year!!! We hope you have a Happy and safe New Year’s and we can not wait to meet all our 2021 babes!!!

Best experience ever!!!
Let me just say I am fairly modest, have two kids and it shows and have never been a size 2. These pictures made me feel so beautiful and good about myself! More beautiful than I have ever felt even young with a "before kids" body. The whole experience was amazing starting off with fantastic hair and makeup. Rachel and Ashley made me feel so comfortable (I was honestly surprised how not awkward it was)!!! They were super funny, nice and encouraging. They told me what to do and which ways to pose. I also bought one of the books. I was so impressed with quality of the book and of the photos. These pictures are classy and have an artsy feel to them, which I absolutely loved. I have just been blown away by this experience and how good I feel about myself. It was out of character for me to do this and I am so glad that I did! I would do it again in a heartbeat and have been telling all my friends to do it even if they feel they need to lose a little weight. It has been wonderful for my self esteem! If you aren't sure about doing it, just DO IT! You won't be sorry!!!!!
“I want to shout this a little louder for the people in back…..
I tried my very hardest to squash all the insecurities in my head during my shoot and just had the most fun and got out of my comfort zone.
When I went to my photo reveal all those “oh god what if I hate all of my photos because I don’t like the skin I’m in right now” thoughts crept in.
As it turned out, my most favorite photo of my collection was one that had me lying on my back where I was SO SURE my tummy would ruin the whole thing.
But instead I look like I smokin babe!!”
“Every woman’s success should be an inspiration to another…
We’re strongest when we cheer each other on.”
Love this tribe of ours! If you are new here, this is us! 2 photographers and our hair & makeup artist in the middle. We empower, laugh a ton, travel as much as we can and are completely crazy!
- Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
