Why Is Boudoir Right For You?
A boudoir photography session is an amazing experience, at any stage of life! It’s something you should plan for well in advance, just as you would for any special occasion. Yes, boudoir photographs make an unforgettable gift! However, it’s not always about a spouse or significant other!
A boudoir photography session is also a great way to celebrate a milestone. Like your 30th, 40th, or even 60th birthday! Maybe you are about to start a new chapter of your life – mommyhood, and you want to document your pre-baby body. Or maybe you’ve already had your babies, you’ve finally lost the baby weight and you want to remind yourself that you’ve still got that sassy side in you!
Boudoir is pronounced “boo-dwahr” or if you are feeling fancy “boo-dwa”. While the term boudoir is French for bedroom, these days it is better known as a genre of photography. My style of boudoir is very natural, editorial, and timeless.
- Boudoir Is Only For Women With Perfect Bodies.
A lot of women are afraid to try boudoir because they mistakenly believe they’re not skinny enough, don’t have the right curves, they’re too old, and the list goes on.
The truth is, you don’t need to be a certain age or weight, have flawless features, or even be 100% confident in your body to have a positive boudoir experience! Boudoir is about embracing your unique beauty, not living up to an outdated societal fantasy.
You control who sees the images.
If you see us post an image of one of our clients online, it’s because they have given us written consent for us to do so. All images from the session are delivered through a private password-protected gallery that can only be viewed by whomever your share the link with.
- You don’t have to be a model.
The media we consume has filled our heads with beauty standards that are impossible to achieve, yet we often feel bad about ourselves for not looking a specific way. The reality is that you are already beautiful exactly as you are. Boudoir is for everyone and exists to celebrate the beauty of the human body in all forms.
If you want to bare it all in your boudoir shoot, go for it! But don’t think that nudity is your only option. Wear whatever makes you feel sexy and beautiful, whether it’s a baggy T-shirt, lacy lingerie, or nothing at all.
Being sexy can mean anything you want it to. The only condition for choosing your boudoir outfit is to wear something that makes you feel fierce!
- Be Comfortable In Your Skin
Being comfortable is my #1 priority as we shoot. If you aren’t comfortable with what you are wearing, it will show. Therefore, you decide whether to wear lingerie, a long sweater, a one-piece with a beautiful floral robe, or just a blanket. Whatever you decide, my goal is to allow you to feel beautiful and confident in yourself.
- Wear what you feel confident and sexy in.
You may see boudoir photos online of people wearing outfits that you wouldn’t wear, and that’s ok! We want you to feel as comfortable as possible during your session and that includes wearing outfits that you connect with. We also help provide guidance, on what photographs best.
- The session doesn’t have to be for a special occasion or for that special someone.
Boudoir sessions make great gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, etc. but that’s only a small portion of the benefit that it provides. While a significant other will greatly appreciate receiving the images, the transformation that can occur when you do it for yourself can be life-changing. The longer you wait for a special occasion, the longer you wait for transformation.
