ISO: Concrete flooring guru!

Is anybody knowledgeable in concrete floors? Or knows anybody knowledgeable? Or a business that specializes in them?

I'm looking to seal, stain & epoxy finish my concrete floors at the studio but have some questions about various things involved. I'm even considering hiring this task out altogether so if you know anybody that does concrete floors, tag them in the comments please! Thank you!

Please feel free to share this post! 😊

⚠️ MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! 📢

I'm ecstatic to roll out & introduce the future of Bombshell Bo***ir, which will now be known as Skáld Photo Co!
..You're definitely going to want to read this!!!

Back in 2018, I made a decision that would shape my business and personal journey in ways I could never have predicted—I chose to devote myself entirely to bo***ir photography. It was a calling I felt deep in my heart, one that allowed me to empower and uplift women by capturing their beauty, strength, and stories in the most intimate of ways.

… But with that choice came a bittersweet reality: I decided to step away from other types of photography that had also brought me immense joy—photographing families, celebrating high school seniors on the brink of new adventures, capturing the love between couples, and so much more. Every time someone reached out to me, hoping to book a session for one of these special moments, it was never easy to say no. It left a small ache in my heart each time, knowing I couldn’t be the one to capture those memories for those individuals.

Over these past years, the connections I’ve made through bo***ir photography have been nothing short of transformative. I’ve had the privilege of meeting some of the most incredible women—each with their own unique journey—and it has been an honor to capture their stories. The trust they placed in me to reveal their vulnerability, their confidence, and their true selves through my lens is something I will forever treasure! Bo***ir has allowed me to create not just photographs, but powerful reminders of self-love and empowerment, both for my clients and for myself. The impact of these experiences is something I hold close, and it has deepened my passion for what I do every day.

…. So with that being said…

Today, I am thrilled to announce a new chapter in my photography journey—one that I hope will resonate with many of you as deeply as it does with me. After much reflection and a longing to reconnect with the broader canvas of life’s precious moments, I’ve decided to, once again, expand my photography offerings. YES, I’m returning to the genres I once stepped away from, offering photography services for families, children, couples, high school seniors, and more.

This isn’t just a return; it’s a renewal of my commitment to capturing the full spectrum of life’s beauty, from the quiet, tender moments to the big, celebratory milestones.

… But that’s not where the excitement ends. I’m beyond thrilled to share that I will now also offer photography services for elopements, intimate weddings, and engagement sessions! 😍🙌🏻

Stepping into the world of weddings feels like a natural extension of my passion for capturing love and connection in its most authentic forms. I am deeply honored to be able to document these profound moments in your lives—moments that will be cherished for generations.

So, why now? Why after all these years have I decided to return to these other forms of photography? The truth is, I’ve missed it—deeply!

Recently, I had the chance to photograph my brother’s senior portraits, and the experience was like reigniting a flame that had been quietly burning inside me all along. The joy of capturing those moments, the creativity involved in telling a story through my lens, reminded me of why I fell in love with photography in the first place. I realized that my heart has room for it all—for the empowerment of bo***ir and the celebration of life’s diverse, beautiful moments.

What does this mean for Bombshell Bo***ir? Well, it means nothing, really. Rest assured, Bombshell Bo***ir remains unwavering in its dedication to bo***ir photography! The essence of what I’ve built will continue to thrive, with the same commitment to empowering and celebrating women through the art of bo***ir.

I’ve simply decided to rebrand and this rebrand means that I’m broadening my services to meet more of your photography needs—all under one brand, with the same passion and care you’ve come to expect!

I want to thank each of you for being part of this journey with me. Your trust, your stories, and your support mean the world to me, and I cannot wait to continue capturing life’s beautiful moments with you in this new chapter!

⚠️ So, what happens next?

Changes are already underway, starting with my website as some of you may have already noticed that it is down and cannot be accessed any longer. A beautiful, new website will be coming soon- the same goes for my email!

⚠️ If you need to contact me, please email me at the temporary email address I have made for communication until the website is finished!
📧 [email protected]

⚠️ Are you currently booking sessions?
YES! I have opened up my calendar to outdoor only sessions this fall since the studio is still being renovated! I am currently booking for September & October! I am NOT currently booking studio bo***ir or elopement sessions!

⚠️ Studio updates: Despite a few setbacks that have postponed opening it, the studio is coming along nicely!

With all of that being said, keep your eyes open for more info! In the days to come, I will be making changes to this page that will reflect my new business name, logo & information as well! 😊

With deep appreciation and excitement for what’s ahead,
Jess
❤️

Let's talk about something that's been on the minds of many women considering a bo***ir photoshoot: the fear that your photos won't turn out as expected. It's a common worry, completely understandable, but trust me when I say, it's time to let go of that fear and embrace the beauty of the unexpected.

First off, let's acknowledge that the idea of baring it all in front of a camera can be nerve-wracking. It's vulnerable, it's raw, and it's oh-so-human to worry about the outcome. But here's the secret sauce: the magic lies in embracing the journey, not just the destination.

Think about it like this: life is a series of beautifully unpredictable moments. Sometimes the most stunning photographs capture the raw, unscripted essence of who we are, rather than trying to fit into a predetermined mold of perfection. Your bo***ir session is no different.

When you step into my studio, you're not just getting a photoshoot. You're embarking on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and celebration of your unique beauty. It's not about conforming to society's standards or trying to replicate someone else's photoshoot – it's about authentically capturing your essence in all its raw and imperfect glory.

Sure, there may be moments of doubt along the way. You might worry about how you look if you're posing "right," or if the lighting is just so. But here's the truth: those moments of vulnerability are where the real magic happens. It's in those unguarded moments that we capture the essence of who you truly are – beautiful, flawed, and utterly real.

So, what if your photos don't turn out exactly as you imagined? Guess what? That's perfectly okay. In fact, it's more than okay – it's beautiful. Because in those unexpected moments, you'll find a depth of beauty and authenticity that simply can't be replicated.

Remember, your bo***ir photoshoot is not just about the end result – it's about the entire experience. It's about stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing your vulnerabilities, and celebrating every inch of your beautiful self.

So, my dear, let go of those worries, release those expectations, and trust in the process. Your bo***ir photoshoot is going to be nothing short of extraordinary, just like you.

Listen, ladies, It's about time for a heart-to-heart about something that weighs heavily on many of us: the relentless pressure to fit into society's narrow mold of femininity and sexuality.

As a bo***ir photographer, I've had the privilege of witnessing countless women bravely confront these expectations, and let me tell you, it's a journey worth celebrating.

Let's start by acknowledging the elephant in the room: societal norms can be suffocating. From the moment we're born, we're bombarded with messages about how we should look, act, and feel as women. We're told to be effortlessly sexy yet demure, confident yet not too outspoken, and the list goes on. It's enough to make anyone feel like they're constantly falling short.

But here's the thing: there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to femininity and sexuality. Each of us is a unique tapestry of experiences, desires, and strengths, and it's high time we started celebrating that diversity rather than trying to squeeze ourselves into someone else's box.

I've seen firsthand the transformative power of embracing your authentic self. It's not always easy—breaking free from years of conditioning takes courage and vulnerability—but oh, is it worth it. When you step into your truth, unapologetically owning every curve, scar, and imperfection, that's when the magic happens.

Bo***ir photography, for many, is a catalyst for this journey of self-discovery. It's a space where you can shed the layers of societal expectations and reconnect with your innate sensuality and strength. It's about reclaiming your body as your own, free from the gaze of judgment or comparison.

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen a client's eyes light up as they catch a glimpse of themselves through my lens—not because they're conforming to some idealized standard, but because they're seeing themselves authentically, beautifully, unapologetically.

So, if you're feeling weighed down by society's expectations, know that you're not alone. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, but it's also okay to push back against those expectations, to rewrite the narrative on your own terms.

And if you ever need a reminder of just how extraordinary you are, well, you know where to find me. Together, let's celebrate the beauty of authenticity, one photo at a time.

Have you ever experienced the beautiful dance of vulnerability and empowerment that unfolds during a bo***ir photoshoot?

As a bo***ir photographer, I've had the honor of witnessing countless women embark on this transformative journey, and let me tell you, it's nothing short of magical.

Let's talk about vulnerability. It's a word that can evoke a myriad of emotions - from fear and uncertainty to courage and liberation. And when it comes to baring your soul (and maybe a little more) in front of the camera, vulnerability often takes center stage.

I get it. The thought of being photographed, perhaps in lingerie or even in the n**e, can be daunting. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, with a mix of exhilaration and trepidation swirling within you. But here's the thing: vulnerability is not weakness; it's courage in its purest form.

When you choose to embrace vulnerability during a bo***ir photoshoot, you're saying yes to authenticity, to owning your story, and to celebrating every curve, scar, and imperfection that makes you uniquely beautiful. It's about stepping into your power, reclaiming your body, and honoring yourself in a way that transcends societal expectations.

But let's be real for a moment. It's okay to feel nervous. It's okay to have doubts creeping in. What's important is acknowledging those feelings and then, bravely, taking that leap of faith anyway. Because on the other side of vulnerability lies a world of empowerment, self-love, and liberation.

As your photographer, it's my mission to create a safe, nurturing space where you can let go of your inhibitions and embrace the fullness of who you are. Whether you're a seasoned goddess or a newbie to the world of bo***ir, know that you are seen, you are valued, and you are worthy of this experience.

Together, we'll laugh, we'll chat, and yes, we might even shed a tear or two. But through it all, we'll capture moments of raw beauty and unbridled confidence that will serve as a reminder of your strength and resilience long after the session ends.

So, to all the beautiful souls out there who are feeling apprehensive about the vulnerability of being photographed, I say this: trust in the process, trust in yourself, and let your light shine brightly for the world to see.

Embracing Discomfort in Bo***ir: Navigating Anxiety During Your Photo Session...

Let's talk about something that's often whispered about but rarely addressed head-on: discomfort. Yep, that feeling of butterflies fluttering in your stomach as you contemplate stepping in front of the camera for a bo***ir session. It's normal, it's real, and guess what? We're diving right into it today.

First off, if you're feeling a tad uneasy about the idea of a bo***ir session, know that you're not alone. In fact, it's totally common to feel a mix of nerves, excitement, and maybe even a touch of apprehension. But here's the thing: discomfort doesn't have to be the star of the show. It's just one part of the journey towards capturing your beautiful essence.

So, how do we shake off those nerves and make way for confidence to shine? Well, let me share a little secret sauce with you.

Breathing. Yep, good ol' fashioned breathing. It sounds simple, but taking a few deep breaths can work wonders for calming those jitters. During our session, I'll guide you through some easy-peasy breathing exercises that'll help center your mind and connect you with the present moment.

Next up, posing. Ah, the art of striking a pose. Here's where I come in as your trusty guide. I'll be right there, coaching you through each pose, not just for the sake of aesthetics, but to evoke genuine emotions. We're talking about capturing those raw, real moments that truly reflect your unique beauty. And guess what? It's okay if it feels a bit awkward at first. That's all part of the process, my friend.

Speaking of emotions, let's talk about them. I'll encourage you to channel your inner goddess, your fierce warrior, your playful sprite—whatever feels authentic to you. By tapping into your emotions, we unlock a whole new level of expression that transcends mere posing. It's about capturing the essence of who you are in this moment, discomfort and all.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room: lingering nerves. Yep, they might stick around for a bit, and that's okay. But here's the beauty of it: as we journey through the session together, those nerves tend to fade into the background, making way for empowerment and self-assurance to take center stage.

So, my dear, if you're feeling a touch anxious about your upcoming bo***ir session, know that it's all part of the adventure. Embrace the discomfort, breathe through it, and trust in the process. Because on the other side of discomfort lies a treasure trove of confidence, beauty, and self-love waiting to be uncovered.

In the world, there exists no one quite like you.

Your personality, your talents, and your way of being make you a unique and irreplaceable part of the whole. The world needs your individuality to be complete. You are not only valuable to yourself but also to the people around you. Your contribution to the world is unique and invaluable.

Remember that you have a unique place in this world that no one else can fill. Your existence is not random or meaningless but serves a special purpose. Even in the darkest moments, there is hope because you are here to brighten the world with your presence. Your smile, your love, and your presence make a difference in the world and touch the lives of others.

It's important to remind yourself that you are worthy of life, regardless of external circumstances or the opinions of others. Your existence alone already holds immeasurable worth that is not dependent on achievement, possessions, or success. You are valuable simply because you are. Your uniqueness makes you irreplaceable and enriches the world in a way that no one else can.

Today, let's chat about something that's at the very core of what I do here at Bombshell Bo***ir: Self-love. 🥰

We're all about celebrating YOU – your curves, your quirks, your unique beauty that sets you apart from the crowd.

In a world that's constantly bombarding us with messages about what we should look like, how we should act, and what defines beauty, bo***ir photography stands as a sanctuary of self-love. It's a space where you can strip away the layers of expectation and embrace the beauty that lies within – unfiltered, unapologetic, utterly radiant.

But what exactly is bo***ir photography for self-love, and why is it so important? Let's break it down:

❤ It's About You: First and foremost, bo***ir photography for self-love is about YOU. It's not about conforming to societal standards or trying to fit into a narrow definition of beauty. It's about celebrating your unique essence – your flaws, your imperfections, your quirks – and owning them with pride.

❤ It's About Empowerment: Stepping in front of the camera can be intimidating, especially when we've been conditioned to believe that our worth is tied to our appearance. But bo***ir photography flips the script, empowering you to reclaim your narrative, to rewrite the story, and to stand tall in your own skin.

❤ It's About Embracing Your Body: Your body is a work of art – a masterpiece crafted by years of laughter, tears, and everything in between. Bo***ir photography is a chance to honor that masterpiece, to celebrate the curves, the lines, the scars that tell the story of your journey. It's about seeing yourself through a lens of love and acceptance, rather than criticism and judgment.

❤ It's About Self-Care: In a world that often tells us to put ourselves last, bo***ir photography is an act of self-care. It's a chance to prioritize yourself, to indulge in a little pampering, and to celebrate the incredible person that you are. It's about showing yourself the love and compassion you so freely give to others.

So if you've ever found yourself hesitating to book a bo***ir photoshoot because of doubts, insecurities, or fears, I want you to know this: you are worthy, you are beautiful, and you deserve to be celebrated exactly as you are!

I'm here to guide you on this journey of self-discovery, self-love, and self-celebration. So take a deep breath, take a leap of faith, and let's create some magic together.

With love and admiration,
❤
