Bucket List Babe: Kari’s Empowering Boudoir Experience at Trillium and Fir Boudoir Photography

Kari’s Story: A Dream She Finally Said Yes To

There’s something so powerful about a woman who decides to choose herself—not someday, not when she feels “ready,” but now.

For Kari, her boudoir session wasn’t just a photoshoot. It was a promise she made to herself a long time ago. And finally, she whispered yes.

“It’s always been on my bucket list.”

We hear that line a lot around here. It’s usually said with a little nervous laugh, eyes sparkling with possibility.

For Kari, this wasn’t a fleeting whim—it was something she had quietly carried in her heart for years. Something bold. Intimate. A little daring. A gift for the woman she’s become.

And one day, she just decided to go for it.

“It has always been on my bucket list... and I finally decided to just do it.”

Choosing Trillium and Fir: A Feeling She Couldn’t Ignore

When Kari started looking for a boudoir photographer, she turned to Google. But what she found with Trillium and Fir was more than pretty photos.

It was connection. Warmth. A feeling.

“I saw the personality right away. It didn’t feel like a big company with a bunch of photographers... The messages were actually personal. It didn’t feel cold or robotic—it felt like someone real was behind the words.”

(That someone? Hi, it’s me, Kyonnah 🥰)

From Doubts to Deep Confidence

Like many of the women who walk through our studio doors, Kari had a few quiet worries in the beginning.

Would it be worth it? Would she like how she looked? Would the experience feel as special as she hoped?

“I was nervous I’d be wasting money if I didn’t like the experience… or the pictures of myself.”

But the moment she arrived, the energy shifted. It didn’t feel awkward. It didn’t feel forced.

It felt like a soft, golden afternoon with a friend. Laughter. Music. Her favorite lipstick. A little vulnerability. And a lot of magic.

“It felt like a girls’ day. Getting my hair and makeup done… being pampered… and just having fun.”

The First Time She Saw Herself That Way

As the session unfolded, I showed Kari a few sneak peeks straight from the camera.

No filters. No edits. Just her.

And something beautiful happened—she lit up. Not from the outside, but from within.

“I absolutely loved the photos before editing. After editing? They were even more stunning. I couldn’t choose just ten—I had to upgrade. I needed more.”

She saw what I saw: a woman in full bloom. Soft. Powerful. Glowing.

Would She Do It Again? Already Planning It.

“I didn’t want the experience to end. I’m already planning my next session.”

Kari, we love to hear it.
Because boudoir isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a love letter you can keep writing to yourself over and over again.

“If a friend was considering it, I’d tell her this: Do it. You won’t regret it. It’s not just about the photos—it’s about how you’ll feel. And you’ll want that feeling again and again.”

Let This Be Your Sign

Maybe you’re reading this with your heart beating a little faster. Maybe this is your “someday.”

Maybe, like Kari, you’ve been waiting for the right time.

Here’s a gentle reminder: you don’t need a reason to celebrate yourself.

Let this be the sign you’ve been waiting for. The moment you stop waiting… and finally say yes.
