Daphne and Diane,
I
want to thank you for the experience that tops any other I have ever had.
I went to the consultation feeling slightly embarrassed and not sure I could
go through with a Fantasy Boudoir photo session. I left the consultation
feeling like I had lost my mind yet also excited to do something so out of
character for me. Well, after the photo shoot I felt empowered, sexy, beautiful
and proud of my sensuality. I thank you both and can’t
wait to present this as a gift to the love of my life on his 50th birthday!!
It all started when I was trying to decide on a birthday gift for the
love of my life, my soul mate and my best friend. I wanted it to be something
different, unique, and something that he would cherish. We live 1000 miles
apart during the week, he works in Chicago and I work in Boston, and my 21
year old daughter suggested a boudoir session at Fantasy Photography. It
would be something he would have and be able to look at during the week when
we were apart.
Our
story started in high school, he was the older upperclassman and I was younger.
He was everything to me, he treated me with respect and love and I fell head
over heels for him. Unfortunately, 3 years difference is a much bigger deal
when he turned 18 and was going to graduate and I was 15. It broke my heart
but he started to date another upperclassman. We stayed in touch and stayed
friends; he later married her and started his adult life. I moved on and
met someone and also married, but never forgot the one I really always felt
was meant to be. We bumped into each other from time to time, always catching
up on our families and wishing each other well. I later divorced and moved,
not realizing he and his wife had also moved to the same town. Our children
attended the same elementary schools and were even in the same classes. I
always wondered how my life would have been different had we stayed together.
I always knew that there was a special place in his heart for me, I saw it
in his eyes. However he had a wonderful life and family and I later found
out he was relocating to Chicago. We exchanged emails about once a year as
friends wishing each other well. I went on to marry again knowing that a
relationship with him would never be. I settled for a less than perfect marriage,
so not to be alone but that proved not to be enough for me and I again divorced.
After filing the paperwork, I received a “happy birthday” email
from my “what if” man. He asked how I was and we exchanged a
few very casual emails in which I told him I was divorced for a 2nd time
and would rather be alone than not with someone that made me happy. At that
point he told me his wife had left him and he was coming back east to see
his parents and could he take me to lunch? That lunch changed my life forever,
we were soul mates and the past 2½ years have been the most amazing
years of my life. Love can be so amazing when it is truly meant to be.
So that brings me to wanting to give him something as special as the
love he gives me, and what better way than a photo album that shows the radiant
glow of love in my eyes and the sensuality that is so alive in our relationship.
Daphne captured that in these photos and I hope he loves them as much as
I loved doing this photo shoot for him!
Thank you so much,
Patti
