“Women are feeling really comfortable with owning our bodies,” she said. “It’s empowering. And it’s a confidence boost.”

Jones said she’s planning to get her own boudoir photos taken later this year in honor of turning 45.

“After a certain age, as a woman, I feel like we enter the cloak of invisibility,” she said. “I’m 45 and I need to be visible. We’re not all bikini models with six-pack abs. It’s wrong to shame ourselves if we don’t look that way. I’m significant right now and I deserve to feel good. I hope to bring that to other women.”

She added, “It’s really amazing to see women want to invest in themselves and watch their confidence grow.”

At her first session, McCormick said, “I came in a little nervous. But at the end, I was hanging off a towel,” she laughed.

When the session was over, she didn’t want to take off her makeup.

Now, she keeps the boudoir photos on her phone and looks at them almost once a day, she said. If she’s feeling low or having a bad day at work, she looks at the photos of herself and feels strong.

“I want my client to leave and feel like she can take on anything in her life,” Jones said.
