2018 Year In Review | Boudoir Photographer Louisville, Ky
Trunetta Atwater
This is exactly what my life looked like all 2017! By January 19, 2017 I was already looking forward to 2018. Even though the year was rough, I pulled myself out of the mess and vowed that 2018 would look a lot different!
So if I could describe what 2018 was like for me in one picture it would be this…
Looking back over the year I can honestly say that I lived my best life! I planned it out and I executed the plan, as an individual, wife, mother and in my business. I refused for this year to look like 2017 and I did everything in my power to make sure it was different! The most amazing part of it all are the bonus life experiences that I didn’t plan for that had a huge impact on both my life and business.
Go get her!
I set a goal to photograph 84 women this year! The final count is 81!!! That’s 81 women that Fancy had a direct connection to. 81 women who’s lives were empowered by our mission. That’s 81 women who conquered their fears, let their hair down, stepped outside of their box to be photographed in their “panniedraws”. Eighty-one women who OWNED their femininity. I am so super proud of that.
FANCY TRANSFORMATIONS
Oh there’s more!
I’ve been a photographer for nearly 10 years, but there is always room to keep learning!
In 2018 I wanted to
be inspired to create dope shit,
work on skill by perfecting off camera flash,
and make a statement with ever image I produced.
Here are my favorite five OFC images.
It’s important to me to be the face of Fancy just as much as any women I photograph. This year, I made a promise I would get in front of the camera more also, because I want women of all ages and sizes to feel comfortable during their experience. I will not encourage you to do something that I haven’t already done myself.
I am Fancy! I am liberated! I am my Brand! I am passionate about helping women discover the boldness in their beauty too!
“FAKE ASS TWIN” | REAL ASS FREIND
One of the major surprises of 2018 was truly connecting with a woman who helped me light my fire again! You know coaches and encouragers need encouragement too! It’s erie how parallel our lives are. We have so much in common that we probably were real twins in our past life. I met Chanel Nicole at a bridal show in 2015. She’s a photographer too and this year I invited her to go to Imaging USA with me, we’ve been personal and business BFFs since. She asked me in April to teach her “All the things.” For the past 8 month we have worked tireless to help each other meet and exceed our business goals. My mentee turned out to be the best accountability and business partner a girl could ask for! Oh and everywhere we go, people really do ask it we are twins. No, she’s my best fraaaand!
We share Studio Always Fancy!
A dream come true for Chanel and a dream that I never let go of!
Since June all the Magic has happened in this place and I don’t regret it one bit!

TEACH, SPEAK, AND LEAD!
I taught my first photography class at the Black Female Photographer’s Vision Conference! The Vision Conference fell on the same weekend 7 years to the date that I quit my full time job for this dream! That engagement was a start to a new beginning! I lived my life out loud in 2018! I OWNED who I am and where I’m going. I choose to impact lives along the way! That’s my purpose and I’m proud of it!
