Blush-Boudoir Dayton, Ohio - The Hubby's Reaction

Hi Tracy,


Mike and I got all dressed up and went out for dinner on Wednesday night for our anniversary. After we ordered drinks and dinner, I have him my gift. Initially, when he first opened the box, he thought it was a framed photo. He was already saying "wow" at the cover. Once he picked it up, he was very surprised that it was a book. As he looked at the pictures, his physical reactions ranged from sweating, getting misty eyed, and sitting there in speechless-awe. He thought the use of his old football jersey from high school was very clever (that was your idea). He took his time looking at the book, looking at it several times. As he was looking, he made several comments - I wish I could have recorded what he said because I can't remember all of them. Some of his comments suggested I should be a professional model, he knew I was beautiful - but to see it portrayed like this is unbelievable, lots of wow, oh my gosh's, and you are so hot. To say that he was thoroughly impressed and completely blown away would be a total understatement and wouldn't describe his reaction accurately.

At this time in my life, I am on cloud nine, experiencing a confidence level I have never felt before. A contributing factor has been this experience and its positive aftermaths. I want to thank you again for giving me this opportunity. I am truly blessed.

Humbly,
Lisa

I can't begin to tell you how AMAZING Tracy and Michelle are. I decided to do a shoot as a gift to my husband for our 10 year wedding anniversary. I am a mother of 4 small boys who has spent the last 7 years of my life being a stay at home mom. There are so many times when I've lost sight of the fact that I am a woman outside of being "mommy". Tracy and Michelle were able to bring that "woman" out for me in full force.
.

I seriously didn't recognize myself when they were finished with me. My hair and makeup were flawless. Michelle did such an excellent job. Working the shoot with Tracy was so much fun. I could've stayed for hours upon hours--she made me feel so comfortable. I felt like I'd known her for years by the time we were finished.
.



And the end product--IMPECCABLE. The photos left me speechless when I saw them. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful gift. They are stunning--I look and feel like a supermodel. And my husband, he was floored. Giddy beyond belief. He brags to anyone who catches a glimpse of the photos and inquires about them that, yes, indeed that's his wife, and he raves about how wonderful Tracy's work is.
.



Anyone who is looking for the WOW factor must visit Tracy and Michelle for a session. I can't wait to work with her again in the future.
.

Thank you for making my anniversary an incredibly memorable one :)

XOXO,
Angie

Blush Boudoir Winner Is........

Lisa Adams....you are truly beautiful inside and out. Thank you for sharing beautiful story.

My name is Lisa Adams. I live in Englewood, and I am a mother of three children. Zachary, my oldest, is fourteen, next is Jacob, who would have been eleven, and then lastly is my daughter, Jadyn, who is eight. I have wonderful children, and I consider myself to be very fortunate and blessed to be lucky enough to be their mother.

Even though life brings up challenges and obstacles, the key to success is within. In my experience, if a person stays true to their goals, does not give up, is determined, strong, or in some cases, stubborn, that person will succeed.

I have been pursuing my college degree, on and off, for twenty years. I went to a local community college after high school, but after a year or so of attending part-time, I became discouraged, and quit. I enrolled again about a decade or so later, after the death of my son.

My son, Jacob, passed away when he was 13 months old. Jacob had Down Syndrome. In addition, he had a congential heart defect, which is common to babies with Down Syndrome. His life was determined to be “fragile” until finally he was healthy enough to have open heart surgery to repair the defect. Jacob had open heart surgery when he was seven months old and came through just fine. We had 7 healthy, wonderful, months with him, until he got what is called RSV. RSV, which can be fatal, is a respiratory virus, and for Jacob, it caused a complication, pulmonary hypertension. In addition, while in the hospital, he contracted influenza. All three conditions were too much and he passed away in January 10, 2000.

I tried several things to ease my grief. I adopted pets, went to grief groups, volunteered for childcare at Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association (MVDSA) meetings, attended MVDSA mom meetings so I could play with the Down Syndrome children, I had another child, and I also enrolled back in college. College was an excellent distraction and outlet because it allowed me to write and talk about Jacob. I stayed in school until my divorce. Going through a divorce is of course difficult, but Chris and I have been able to remain close and amicable.

Several years went by before I enrolled in classes again. I began to feel very unhappy and dissatisfied with my professional life. In addition, I wanted to be a good role model for my children. Even more, I wanted my family, more specifically, my Grandmothers, to be proud of me. Growing up, I was closer to my Grandmothers than my parents, and my Grandparents were the ones who were there for me providing guidance, support, and their unconditional love. I have always been close with my Grandmothers, however, as I transitioned into woman and motherhoods, my Grandmothers were two of the dearest, treasured, and valued people in my life. I confided in them, and their guidance inspired and motivated me to become a better mother, wife, friend, student, and overall, a better person.


When I decided to enroll again, I did it with the intention of finally finishing my degree. I was working another dead-end job and attending school part-time when I was laid-off. Thank goodness I am married to the most wonderful and incredible man ever! My husband Mike is very loving, generous, and his thoughtfulness blows my mind. Mike suggested I stay at home with the kids and go to school full-time, so that is what I did. Mike made enormous sacrifices for me. He became the sole provider for me and my children, took on more side-jobs to earn extra money, and he made budgetary changes. He is the kind of husband that said, “Honey, since you are staying at home and going to school full-time, let’s buy a pool membership so you and the kids can have fun this summer”.


Being able to stay home and go to school provided me with extraordinary opportunities. I was able to spend more time with my Grandma Kline. We had a “play-date” every Tuesday. I picked her up and we went to lunch, ran errands, went shopping, grocery shopping, I helped her around the house, and I took her to doctor’s appointments. During that summer, her health deteriorated and she needed additional help. I was able spend even more time with her, just helping in taking care of her. Sadly, she passed away September 17, 2008, but I was so thankful I was able to have the time spend with her. More recently, I had another extraordinary opportunity. We had plans to go to Florida and visit my Grandparents over spring break. However, my Grandma was in the hospital. At the beginning of the week, we thought she was going to get better and be discharged to a rehab center before going home. She thought rehab was going to be awful, but I told her I would stay with her, and we would do it together. By the end of the week, her condition had changed, and rehab was no longer an option. Because I was going to stay with her and my Grandfather, she was discharged home under Hospice’s care. Sadly, Mike and my children had to say goodbye to her while she was still in the hospital. On the down side, I said goodbye to Mike and my children, not knowing when I was going to see them again. Yet on the positive side, my opportunity to stay with her allowed me to plan a family reunion, my Grandparents 63rd wedding anniversary party, and an after-party for every day thereafter. The week she was home, was my opportunity to show her how much I loved her and show much she meant to me. I treated that week as a testament of my love, devotion, and admiration of her. There was no doubt, she knew every second of every passing moment, how much she meant to me. My Grandma passed away April 11, 2010.



Now, my college graduation has passed and my last day of school has passed. I went to graduation ceremonies on May 8 and my last day of class was May 24, 2010. Even though I had my husband’s loving support all they way, I still had to stay true to my goals, and not give up. And when times got tough, I had to pull strength from places I didn’t know I had. In the darkest moments is when you shine the most, you may not see your light, but others do…and they will follow it. I have succeeded in achieving my goals because of the encouragement from those that have meant the most to me, my husband, children, and my Grandma’s. I earned 2 bachelors and graduated summa cum laude. I could not have done it without those here beside me and those watching over me from above. My life can be an example of how people can still achieve their goals, no matter how long it takes or challenges life brings.

Thank you for your consideration,

Lisa M. Adams

Hannah and I started our friendship when she meet with me to photograph her wedding. I instantly fell in love with her warm smile and happy go luck personality. To know this girl is to love her. I was so excited when she emailed me about doing a session as an anniversary gift. Even though she trust me 100% she was still very nervous! After receiving this text below I think she's pretty happy she did the session:)
