My photo shoot with Monika was much more than my first (still, so long needed!) experience with modeling. Monika has a peculiar talent to develop authentic connections, woman to woman, and ease you in an exercise of positive self-talk.
While posing, I shared with her that I felt so inadequate at what I was doing, since during my teen years it was common for my friends to be approached by photographers, and I felt that I was never picked because I wasn’t pretty or seductive enough.
Well, against any odds, Monika managed to make me feel like a natural! Not only she pointed out how good some of my features looked on camera, but she also encouraged me to list what I liked about myself. It was a transformative experience. Seeing myself so relaxed and confident in her pictures taught me to legitimize and celebrate my own beauty. And to present, the energy I gained during the photos hoot radiates in my everyday life -so much that now I volunteer myself as a model!

My shoot with Monika was the most comfortable I’ve been in front of a camera, ever! She made me feel safe, beautiful, and free to just be myself. And the thing is- it comes very naturally to her. She knows what angles and poses work, and she quickly adjusts her energy based on the photo we are going for- whether its a power pose, soft look, or silly moment. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and what was important to me, and was in tune with that for the whole shoot. I was newly pregnant in the shoot and it was so special to be able to capture that moment! I highly recommend Berlin Boudoir to anyone and everyone!

Thank you, dear Monika! You invited me to see myself in a sensual way- and because of you making me feel safe and comfortable, this photo shooting was such a great experience! The photos you took – wow! I see myself in them, from a different perspective: I can be sensual and sexy! Thank you so much – every woman should meet you!
