If youβre feeling excited and nervous right now, take a breath.
Thatβs normal here.
Most people who reach out to Hype Girl arenβt overflowing with confidence. Theyβre curious, hopeful, but also maybe second-guessing themselves a little. Sometimes a lot.
You might be wondering things like:
βIs boudoir really for someone like me?β
βWhat if I feel awkward?β
βWhat if I donβt like how I look?β
βIs it selfish to want this?β
Letβs clear something up right away:
You donβt need confidence to be here.
You donβt need to love your body first.
You donβt need to know how to pose, what to wear, or how any of this works.
You just need a tiny spark of curiosity, and you already have that, or you wouldnβt be reading this.
At Hype Girl, we work with real people in real life seasons. Parents. Professionals. People rebuilding after big life changes. People who feel disconnected from their bodies. People who havenβt felt truly seen in a long time.
So if part of you is thinking, βIβm intriguedβ¦ but Iβm scared,β youβre not behind. Youβre not the odd one out. Youβre the norm.
This experience isnβt about becoming someone else. Itβs about meeting yourself where you are right now, and letting us support you through the rest.
This guide exists to walk you through exactly how it works, what it feels like, and how we make sure you feel safe, supported, and in control the entire time!
Read it slowly and come back to it as many times as you need.
You donβt have to decide anything yet.
For now, just know this:
You belong here, even with the nerves. Especially with the nerves.
What This Experience Is Really Like
Letβs talk about what actually happens, and not the Instagram highlight reel version, but the real human experience.
First things first: itβs completely normal to feel a little awkward at the beginning. Almost everyone does. Youβre walking into something new, vulnerable, and unfamiliar- that doesnβt mean youβre doing it wrong. It means youβre human.
When you arrive, youβre not expected to βturn it onβ or know what to do. Thereβs no pressure to perform, pose, or be confident right away. We start slow, talk, probably ask if you read spicy romance or what your favorite fandom is. You have the chance to settle into the space before anything else happens.
Youβll begin with professional hair and makeup with our team of stylists, ready to kick off the confidence boost. This is your time to sit back, breathe, and let yourself be taken care of. Itβs often where the nerves start to soften and the excitement quietly kicks in. You donβt need to know what look you want right then (although inspo pics are always appreciated), weβll talk it through together and create something that still feels like you.
Next, weβll walk through the client closet and styling options together! Youβre not left alone to figure it out or expected to know what works on your body. Weβll go through the closet and try on pieces that feel comfortable, flattering, and aligned with the vibe you want- whether thatβs soft, bold, playful, cozy, or something in between. If something doesnβt feel right once itβs on, we change it. No pressure, no pushing. We will also go through any outfits or accessories you have brought with you, and chat about a game plan for the session itself.
Once the session begins, you are guided through everything- every pose, every movement, right down to where your hands go and where to look. Youβre never left guessing, and youβre never expected to improvise. If something feels awkward, we adjust! If something doesnβt feel like you, we skip it. This is collaborative, and we want you to recognize yourself when you see these photos.
Most people start the session feeling nervous, then a little unsure, then curious⦠and somewhere along the way, something shifts. Shoulders drop. Breathing slows. Confidence sneaks in quietly. Not because you forced it, but because you felt supported.
You donβt have to go bold or spicy unless you want to. You can start soft. You can stay soft. Or you can surprise yourself and explore something new. There is no βrightβ way to show up here, only your way.
Throughout the session, we check in often. How does this feel? Want to try something different? Need a break? Youβre always part of the conversation, and your comfort leads the way.
This experience isnβt about perfection. Itβs about presence.
Itβs about being guided, encouraged, and held through the moments that feel vulnerable β and celebrated in the moments that feel powerful.
By the end, most people are surprised by one thing in particular:
Not how they look β but how supported they felt the entire time.
Your Body.
Your Boundaries.
Your Choice.
At Hype Girl, consent isnβt a checkbox- itβs the foundation of everything we do.
From the very beginning, you are in control of this experience. Your body, your comfort, and your boundaries come first, always. Nothing about your session is expected, assumed, or required.
That includes:
What you wear
How much skin you show
Which poses you try
When you take breaks
What you purchase
What gets shared, if anything, and what stays private
If something doesnβt feel right, you can say no. If something feels good one moment and not the next, you can change your mind. If you want to pause, adjust, or stop altogether, that choice is respected immediately.
No explanations required.
We check in often because comfort can change, and thatβs okay! This experience is collaborative, and you are always part of the conversation. There is no pushing, no convincing, and no βjust trust us.β Your comfort leads every decision.
Privacy Isnβt Optional, Itβs Non-Negotiable
Client trust and privacy matter deeply here. We will never share your images, behind-the-scenes content, or any details about your session without your clear, enthusiastic consent.
Every photo you see on our website, social media, or marketing materials belongs to someone who has given written permission through a signed model release. If someone says no at any point, that answer is honored without question.
You are never required to:
Share your images
Be tagged
Allow behind-the-scenes content
Talk publicly about your experience
Your session can be completely private, completely anonymous, or shared only in the ways youβre comfortable with. This is not something you have to decide right away and youβll be asked more than once, because consent matters every step of the way.
No Pressure. No Push. No Catch.
That same respect extends to purchasing decisions. You are never pressured to buy images, upgrades, or products.
We believe that when people feel safe, supported, and respected, they make the best decisions for themselves. So thatβs the environment we create.
This experience is yours.
Your pace. Your boundaries. Your story.
Our role is to guide, support, and protect that, not to override it.
Letβs Talk Money (Without the Ick)
Letβs talk about the part that tends to bring up the most questions β and do it in a way that feels clear, honest, and low-pressure.
Money conversations around boudoir can feel stressful, especially if youβve ever seen a low session fee up front and then felt surprised or boxed into big decisions later. We intentionally built our pricing to work differently β with clarity, flexibility, and choice from the very beginning.
No guessing. No pressure. No surprises.
Whatβs Included
Your boudoir experience is all-inclusive.
That means:
One clear price for your session
Your full digital gallery included
No image limits
No packages you have to choose from later
No leaving photos behind to stay within a collection
You never have to decide how many images you want ahead of time. You get them all.
Physical products β like albums, prints, or wall art β are completely optional. Theyβre available if and when you want them, but theyβre never required.
When Payments Happen
To reserve your session date, a retainer is required at booking. From there, you have options β because flexibility matters.
You can:
Pay in full at booking
Pay your retainer and complete payment by your session date
Use a payment plan if spreading things out feels better for you
Once your session is scheduled, weβll talk through what feels most comfortable. Nothing here is one-size-fits-all, and nothing is locked in forever.
Flexibility Is Built In
You donβt need to have everything figured out right now.
You can:
Start with the minimum needed to book
Spread payments out in a way that feels responsible
Add products later⦠or not at all
Some clients love keeping things simple with digitals only. Others decide to add physical products after theyβve seen their images and had time to sit with them. Both choices are valid. Both are common. There is no βrightβ way to do this.
The Bottom Line
You are always in control.
Our role is to:
Be transparent about pricing
Offer flexible, realistic options
Support your choices without pressure or expectation
If questions come up β or if you want help figuring out what works best for you β just ask. This part of the experience should feel empowering and doable, not overwhelming.
You get to choose what feels right for you.
Always.

More Than My Past
When this project went live, I was just a few weeks shy of my 34th birthday and a just over four years into my recovery journey. Much like the rest of the world when 2020 happened and COVID forced us to be alone with ourselves, I wasn't happy with what I saw. I looked at my life where I was merely surviving and doing the bare minimum for my family and I didn't like it.
I started with going back to school. A sort of rebellion against my mother and my first husband, both of whom led me to drop out of college 10 years prior. I had been a stay at home mom and out of the work force since 2013, so I saw myself as "worthless" outside the duties of my home.
My professors and classmates (most of whom were 10 years younger than me) were so encouraging. I found that I did have a place in the world outside my home and my ideas were valuable. I was deserving of that space and attention.
For the first time in my life I was able to name the inner monologue that ruled me for what it was, TRAUMA. I was diagnosed with CPTSD and slowly over the course of the following three years I was able to chip away at the things holding me back, keeping me down, and fueling my self-sabotage. I found a new voice inside; she was loving, kind, and appreciative. Affirming of the things I lived through and ready to help me succeed in beating them.
Healing is a slow and sometimes excruciating process but well worth the effort to come alive again. And I am more than the past that tried to break me and the labels bestowed on me by others.
What have been some of the biggest stories or beliefs about yourself that you've had to unlearn?
I have been told so many things in my life that were meant to bring me down, and for such a long time they did. In my childhood home I was called hard to love, worthless, ugly, stupid, a burden. I was a mistake, told that I should have been aborted. Outside my home I was weird, too shy, a pretty face but too fat to be desirable, no personality, desperate. An overachiever to the point of being intimidating to others. I internalized these things and for a long time they became my truth. My internal monologue became the voice of my bullies and they crushed me.
And a message to anyone who may be feeling lost, stuck, or smallβ¦
That voice that made you small, that isn't you. That is a cunning shapeshifter crafted from a world that wasn't prepared to handle your potential.
Don't let it keep you down. You are deserving of love and you are allowed to take up all the space you want in this world.
More Than An Opportunity
A letter to her past selfβ¦
Dearest I,
Never let people that have hurt you in the past define your current worth. You are more than just an opportunity. Your body is beautiful, despite all of it's perceived flaws. Protect the mind that knows you deserve so much better. Your soul is calling for it's true match. When found he will heal all that is broken, without even trying.
I have now finally seen myself through my lover's eyes. His words of love echoing through my entire body. A flicker of recognition from my younger days. Something has truly awakened inside of me.
I am more than what someone thinks they can take from me. I am powerful, I am brave, I am loved.
More Than An Employee
What does βMORE THANβ mean to you?
I am more than βjust a momβ or βjust an employeeβ. I am me and shouldnβt have to apologize for that. I deserve to not have to take life as serious as I do at work or at home from time to time!
Everything I do is for everyone around me, which I love but I would love a me day for once to enjoy just being in the moment with myself. To be seen as just me.
More Than My Younger Self
I am more than.. a younger version of myself where I couldnβt see what my bodyβs real worth was about, a mom who thinks Iβve got the worst body on the planet, and someone who can never think they look incredibly sexy doing such fun crazy things!
If someone only saw you from the outside, whatβs something they wouldnβt know youβve survived or carried?
My parents were divorced at an early age for me. My mom went and married her high school sweetheart who happened to like little girls and my Dad remarried a woman who hated everything about her own body. I lived with my Dad and his wife until I was 14 and a whole host of problems stemmed from her insecurities about her own body that she cast onto myself and my sister. Foods that were meant to nourish our bodies were used as rewards and consequences. Being young and navigating hormones, caddy pre teen girls and hyper critical step mothers.. didnβt work so well for the self love role model I was needing.
A message for her younger selfβ¦
Hey beautiful! You are in a place where youβve been able to over come some crazy things! Your body has carried all the stress, craziness and regrets from the past and now is your time to love it. Enjoy it, live in that skin wholly for who you are and know the right people will make a way into your life! Youβre courageous and strong, thoughtful and beautiful.
More Than One-Dimensional
Do you know the story about the two wolves? Ones us evil and the other is good? Well, I have four, I have those two and then I have a super confident baddie wolf and a very self-conscious wolf. Before the session I think the self-conscious Wolf was definitely the stronger of the two but after, I call tell the baddie wolf is much stronger and willing to show up.
"More Than" to me means that we (every human on earth) is more than what we portray ourselves as, we're more than what our families see, what our friends see, what our coworkers see. We're more than just a label of "friend", "boss", "lover". We have so many different facets and layers to who we are that no one other person can truly know our full self and it's up to us to know who that is, embrace that person, and help that person grow and thrive.
More Than A Weirdo
What labels have been placed on you, that you now know you are More Than?
To skinny, weirdo, and unworthy. But I now know that there is no limit, that we as women are the extraterrestrial. We were meant to push every expectation and there is nothing we can't do.
More Than A Victim
A label I've always been given is survivor, in more ways than one. But also victim, which is more of a label I've given myself while going through things.
Those two can mean the exact same thing, but also very different meanings too. How would you say that both coexist within you?
Because while you're going through things, you feel like a victim. Like you're stuck in the same place. But it's just a step before becoming a survivor, because being a survivor means that you got through it and made it out the other end.
A message to her past self, and to anyone else who has felt the weight of otherβs words drag them downβ¦
You are not what other people think of you. You are not other people's opinions. It does get better, and you will make it through. Everything happens for a reason, even if in the moment while you're going through it, you don't see it. You WILL make it through.
I am more than the judgement of others, and more than the lies they spread about me.
More Than My Insecurities
More Than has so many meanings to me! There are more than the dark times on life, you are more than your fears, more than your insecurities, and FAR more than your past! There is so much more to life than all the things holding you back. Once you realize how much MORE there is than all of those things, is truly when your life begins!
I would love for other women to see that they are stronger than their inner self that knocks them down. Mental health has become huge for me since 2023 and it means the world to have the opportunity to share some of my life and how I went from rock bottom to blossoming into where I am now. Everyone has this potential once they see that they are more than everything standing in their way.
More Than Body Changes
I have learned to love my body from head to toe. A person needs to love them self before loving anyone else. Yes I was slim before, but guess what, I wouldnβt change my weight nor my kids for anything in the world. Feeling comfortable in your body takes a while especially if you were never big. I have learned to love my curves, stretch marks, surgical marks with love. They all have a story behind them, and every story makes me a better me.
More Than A Diagnosis
I've lived a pretty crazy life; one you need to see to believe. There isn't much I haven't been through. I was raised below the poverty line, an only child to a single dad. Growing up without my mother, I had difficulty really embracing my feminine and having difficultly truly knowing what that means. I present very wholesome and sweet to the world but I havenβt always been that way, it took work.
Iβm a very do it myself and it has to be done type of person, while still opening up my heart and soul in all my interactions. Took a long time to remove that black and white thinking of who I am and who I should be.
Between the time I signed up for this project and attended the session (about a years time), right after leaving my husband, I found out I had a follicular adenoma on my thyroid requiring surgery to remove half. Now, I have a pending bipolar diagnosis, which isn't too surprising given my genetics but has been a lot to handle and sort through. I balance a lot with work, kids, and feeling like a person.
It's difficult feeling like your own body doesn't have your best interest. I persist, though! I've really had to start taking a serious effort to try to teach myself how to relax and even sit down to eat after years of being in a survival mode.
More Than You Thought
To me, βMore Thanβ means being able to see yourself as more than you thought you were. Being able to break away from what has been instilled you are and getting to know yourself more than you could ever before. Loving yourself more than you ever thought you could love yourself with more respect and more outlooks to a future that is more than anyone else could ever have given you. Being able to see more than your labels, the words people have made you believe, and gaining more confidence and strength beyond them.
More Than My Body
I am more than my body. By that, I mean many things. I am more than my bodyβs thinness (or lack thereof). I am more than my eating disorder. I am more than my chronic illnesses. I am more than my tall height, even. I am made up of all of these things, sure, but I am so much more than them.
I am loving. I am strong. I am hopeful. I am beautiful. I am a good friend, wife, daughter, sister, coworker, and human. I am a singer. I am a musician. I am a designer. I am an artist. I always strive to see the best in people, even when I donβt give myself the same grace. I am learning to give myself the same grace. I am all of these things, and more than all of them at the same time.
I've had to unlearn what it means to be beautiful, what it means to be sexy, what it means to be a woman. I've always been in a larger body - tall and heavier. By ten, I was taller than my 5th-grade teacher. (Funny side note: I always thought I needed to date men taller than me - not always easy. I look back at that idea now and think how ridiculous it sounds.)
I had to truly learn that those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter. That I will attract my tribe just by being myself. That I don't need to be perfect for people to like me. That the truest people in my life will love me for me.
I had to unlearn that perfection is the goal. Perfectionism is unattainable, and so boring.
I had to learn to trust - both myself and those dear to me. I had to learn that no amount of anxiety or worry will really fix anything.
And a message to her past selfβ¦
Remember to give yourself the same grace and love that you show others. Donβt be afraid to advocate for yourself, use your voice, and trust yourself. Diet culture and pop culture are f*cked. They want you to feel terrible about yourself to keep you small and be able to control you. Donβt let them. Spend more time enjoying life, experiences, and the people you meet along the way, and less time worrying about how thin your body is. Remember that movement can be fun and shouldnβt be a punishment, and food doesnβt need to be earned. I love you and your strength, and the love you put out into the world. Itβs ok to be weird and βquirkyβ - embrace it and never let anyone make you feel silly for being yourself.
More Than The Mean Words
When I was 8 years old in 3rd grade I was bullied everyday that year. These 3 girls would poke at my thighs and laugh at me, saying that I was too ugly and fat that no one would ever want to marry me.
That was what started my insecurities and self hate. I am now 24 years old, and I am still struggling with how I see myself. I have found love and started a family and I got engaged. Despite me proving those girls wrong, I still struggle with my confidence.
And now, I think as a woman I get lost in my identity as a mom. Yes I am a mom, but I am also a friend, a fiancΓ©, a daughter, a person. I have likes and dislikes, I have hobbies, and I have talent and potential. I have lost the feeling of who I was before becoming a mom, and slowly I am finding myself again because I am much more than just that.
More Than A Survivor
Before this project, I was in a really heavy season of life. I felt lost, worn down, and insecure. I was a single mom just trying to survive the day-to-day. Work, clean, take care of my kids, repeat. It felt never-ending and exhausting.
I carried so much grief after losing my dad, and after escaping a toxic nine-year relationship, I was also battling depression during and after my last baby. I knew something had to change. I was tired of feeling invisible in my own life, and even though this was completely out of my comfort zone, I needed to do something that was just for me, something that made me feel good again.
I realized I donβt have to feel uncomfortable in my own body because of how others have treated me or what Iβve survived. I am more than just an employee, more than just a mother, and more than an abuse survivor who always has to be strong. Iβm allowed to take up space, and feel beautiful.
More Than My Anxiety
MORE THAN means that I am MORE THAN the negative thoughts in my head. I am MORE THAN my diagnosis. I am MORE THAN my weight gain. I am MORE THAN my depression and anxiety. I am MORE THAN just good enough.
More Than My Fears
Imagine being 300lbs, fat, ugly, and unseen. The girl that is good enough to do what you need her to but not the one who you will choose to just spend time with. Now imagine that after a routine procedure, getting a a phone call, sitting all alone, being told they found cancer, then go to the oncologist, to be told well good news is we think we got everything in the original surgery but because of the kind of cancer it was you need to lose 100lbs to make prevent you from getting cancer again. WOW it was a lot to take in, sitting all alone, contemplating the fact I had 2 very young grandchildren and I wanted to see them grow up, 3 amazing children I did not know how to tell them I had cancer, and know I would go through this all alone. But I was going to survive because I knew there was MORE for me. So, I started the journey, and I did it all alone - two and a half years of doctor visits and tests, surgical procedures, nutrition changes, workouts, and a lot of lonely nights battling the voices in my head! However, I am 5 years later, 150lbs lighter but still feeling fat, ugly, and unseen. Scared that I would never beat that feeling, that I could never see the woman within who loves fiercely, radiates hospitality and love, and dreams of the day she is seen and not invisible - so I sent in the entry, completed a form, told my story and said YES to being vulnerable and exposed, to let someone else bring out my femininity and show the beauty within!
I am more than a cancer survivor.
I am more than how others treat me.
I am more than a caregiver.
I am more than depression, fear, and anxiety!
I am more than a mother!
I am more than any challenge I face!
I am more than what the voice in my head says I am!
More Than The Struggles
A message to her younger selfβ¦
Dear A,
You are one strong bitch! I know there are times where you are struggling and donβt feel like you are doing a good job but YOU ARE. You are the best mom, the best friend and an amazing woman. You have been through so much. Stop being so hard on yourself and just live your life with your family and the ones that choose YOU. Fuck everyone else!
You are more than just what they say you are. You are one bad ass bitch!
More Than What The World Sees
A few years ago I got rock bottom lost. I lost my dad, my role model, my rock. I was pregnant. Everything changed and I didn't know who I was. This year, I wanted to rediscover me. When I saw the More Than Passion Project, I found that push. It was something I could get behind and continued me on my journey to rediscovery. I let myself fall into those titles and forget who I am.
I have always been the worst when it comes to beating myself up. I used to believe that I could never and would never be "good" looking. I never saw myself as pretty or beautiful. It was in recent years that I started feeling that way about myself. I am still unlearning those thoughts. I still catch myself having those thoughts.
There are many labels in this world. I have the labels of: mom, wife, worker, student, daughter, sister. And those are just the labels that are put on me by my physical being. But those aren't all I am. I am a human being with my own likes and dislikes. Things that interest me.
For too long I have let the narrative be about the labels. Now, I am shedding those labels and discovering who I truly am underneath it all. Bearing it all out in the open. Completely naked and stripped of anything but who I am.
I am more than what the world sees. I am a person that is entirely unique. I am more than mom, wife, worker, student. I am a woman that feels. I am a woman that has interests. I am a woman that is free to be more than what the world wants me to be.
I want other women to feel this sort of peace that comes with realizing how much they are worth. I want them to feel like the sexiest, most badass in the world. I want them to feel that confidence and let it take them over and become them. I want them to know that though they might feel like they're at the bottom, that only means there is one way to go up. Life is like an arrow, there's a lot of force when being pulled, but as soon as you let go, you fly. Always pressure before the release. When feeling lost, stuck, or small it is important to remember this is only a chapter, page, paragraph, sentence, word in the longer bigger story of your life. Let the confidence and beauty become you. Let it radiate from you.
