The Women Behind the Lens: Meet Jodi Lynn and Traci

April 21, 2017

Meet Jodi Lynn and Traci, the women behind the lens and co-owners of Le Boudoir Studio. Jodi Lynn launched LBS in 2010, and Traci recently joined the team in 2016. As entrepreneurs, photographers, mothers, and part-time therapists, these #GirlBosses are changing the name of the game in the industry, with the mission to inspire self-love while empowering and inspiring confidence through boudoir and photography.

At age 24, Jodi Lynn attended her first boudoir photography workshop, and was inspired by the experience it created for women. A few months later, she launched Le Boudoir Studio, one of the first photography studios of its kind in Arizona.

“I was inspired by boudoir photography when I saw the great experience it created for women,” Jodi said. “As women, we often feel insecure about how we look. We are so hard on ourselves… Boudoir photography is all about breaking down that negativity and celebrating true beauty – making each women look and feel beautiful in her own way. It’s about empowerment and lifting each other up.”

While other boudoir studios focus on sex appeal and a “do it for your man” attitude, Le Boudoir Studio takes a different approach, focusing on a greater “why.” Jodi and Traci strive to make women of all ages and sizes feel empowered, not for a man, or someone else – but for themselves.

“As mothers ourselves, we never want our daughters to question why they don’t look this way or that way – we want them to feel beautiful as they are,” Traci said. “And while we cannot hide them from the unrealistic expectations of society, we can help boost them up with confidence and strength. That’s the same approach we take at our studio.”

Jodi and Traci focus getting to know each of their clients personally. From the time their clients book until they receive their prints, Jodi and Traci take the extra step to help promote self-love and true worth. More than a photo shoot, the Le Boudoir Studio experience is a one-of-a-kind transformation that lasts longer than just the shoot and extends beyond the photos.

It isn’t a secret that as moms, we may act like superheroes, but don’t always feel like we look like Super Woman. It’s time to change that, ladies! When is the last time you pampered yourself? When is the last time you felt truly beautiful? When is the last time you celebrated your personal features?

From PTA meetings to soccer games and ballet practice (not to mention business meetings in between), mommies are always putting their families and others before themselves; it’s time to celebrate yourself, embrace your natural beauty, and realize you are more special than the models in the magazines!

Studies show that 40 percent of post-pregnancy moms feel more self-conscious in front of their partner and approximately a third say that their body confidence has hit rock bottom.

At Le Boudoir Studio, we are more than a female owned and operated photography studio; we are mommies, wives, daughters and empowered women, just like you. We understand the woes of motherhood, which is why It’s our mission to make ALL women and mothers feel truly beautiful and capture the natural, unique confidence each of us possess. So come on mommies, it’s your time to shine!

Tips and Tricks for Moms to Feel Great:

Find some “me” time

Find something that makes you smile and make it part of your daily routine, even if it’s just for 20 minutes.
Take a bubble bath, go on a walk or catchup with your best friend over a glass of wine – because you deserve it!
Remember that it’s okay to escape for an hour to have your nails or hair done. Don’t feel guilty!
Slow down and stop worrying. All moms are beautiful!

Don’t be hard on yourself

Remind yourself that your body did something amazing and you have created a beautiful family. Be proud!
Accept that you’re probably your own worst critic. No one else is expecting you to look perfect every day.
You may see yourself as having a wobbly tummy, but you still have great legs/swishy hair/beautiful eyes, and a beautiful core!

Define what beautiful means to YOU

Recognize that even if your body never goes back to its pre-pregnancy state, it’s not the end of the world. Define what beautiful means to YOU, and celebrate your own personal features. Our mommy “battle scars” are shared by millions of moms all over the world, embrace them.
Focus on your favorite features and don’t be afraid to compliment yourself or show them off!
Maybe it’s your eyes, your smile, your thoughtfulness or your uncanny ability to find humor in everything.
You are beautiful inside and out. Focus on your attributes in a positive way, and let them shine!
