Kaitlyn’s recent solo session with us was long overdue, but she got it in right under the wire before the season of resolutions really took off.
“It was something I’ve wanted to do for a while. 2023 was a really rough year for me,” shares Kaitlyn. “And I wanted to do something for myself that I couldn’t do before.”
After leaving an abusive marriage, the 29-year-old dog-mom is in the midst of a divorce.
“The relationship I just left really broke down my confidence in myself and I didn’t have a lot of freedom,” said Kaitlyn. Fortunately, she’s been equipped with a strong support system to navigate this time in her life.
“I have a great relationship with my parents and siblings and I wouldn’t be able to get through the divorce without them,” said Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn values not only her relationship with her family, but with her friends too – in fact it was her role as a supportive friend that first led her to Allebach Photography.
“I actually came with my friend as moral support while she had hers done a couple years ago!”
From that moment on, Kaitlyn knew this was the avenue she wanted to take in order to get some control back into her life.
“I wanted to work with you guys to do something for myself and to boost myself back up.”
And boost her back up we did! Kaitlyn rocked her boudoir session, in a three-piece Dita Von Teese set with black thigh highs and heels, a sparkly black mesh bodysuit, and a pearl body chain, among a few other jaw dropping pieces.
“I’m so happy I finally pulled the trigger. It really helped boost my confidence back up in myself!” she said afterwards.
Though Kaitlyn had a blast throughout her entire experience, from hair and makeup to the shoot itself (“Mike and Erika are so great to work with and really help you feel at ease. You’ll never feel like a deer stuck in the headlights. Erika is a great hype girl and Mike has a great Michael Jackson impression!), she had to pick the final reveal of her photos as her favorite part of the day.
“The shoot in of itself is fun, but I think the reveal at the end really ties it all together. Stunned. I couldn’t believe how well they came out and I started to get emotional.”
Kaitlyn designed a photo album of her favorite images from that day so that she can look back on them whenever she wants to give herself a little boost!
