I found a passion for it right away.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Do you remember your first boudoir gig?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>My first gig was a beautiful woman from France who came all the way to see me.. Talk about pressure ha-ha.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>It\u2019s never easy starting out, what were some of the biggest challenges you faced before breaking out?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenge was getting people to trust me. That quickly dissipated when they met me though \ud83d\ude42 I&#8217;m really outgoing and make them feel like I&#8217;m their best bud.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What was the turning point when you thought to yourself that you can\u00a0turn this it into a business?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I never thought about it actually, it kind of just happened. I\u2019m not one to stress about that kind of stuff. When I felt like I was getting enough clients that\u2019s when I turned it into a business. I tell people all the time, I\u2019m not really the business type, I&#8217;m the artist type! haha.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/single-1800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-637 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/single-1800-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"single 1800\" width=\"770\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/single-1800-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/single-1800-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/single-1800-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/single-1800-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/blog.jpegmini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/single-1800.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What inspires you?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nMovement, hands, love, touch.
