5 Reasons why Everyone should do a Boudoir session

You might ask yourself the question, why boudoir? Having your photo taken in clothing is already scary enough, why would you want to have your photo taken in lingerie or…. nothing?! Don’t you worry, I had those thoughts myself at first as well!

So let’s start at the beginning, what is boudoir photography? Boudoir photography is a luxury experience usually done in a bedroom setting. Looking at it from a distance, it might appear as just a photoshoot in lingerie, but it is so much more than that. It’s an unique gift that you can give to yourself, it is a celebration of you.

  1. An Experience just for You.

Your life, your love, your experiences, your body; all being celebrated at the same time. Your eyes, your curves, your perfection. You are beautiful just the way you are, right now. Many of us have this little voice saying that we are not worthy and that we should strive for perfection. But this perfection is all a myth, made up by the media of our time. Every part of you is unique, how amazing is that?! Your laugh, freckles, scars, and moles; they all tell the story of you. You are a work of art, and I am here to let you see that.

2. Confidence Boost

No matter where you are in your journey toward accepting your body, boudoir is a beautiful way to increase your confidence. Many of us tend to get wrapped up in comparing ourselves to others. When you are in front of the lens, it is just you. Tuning in with your body gives you the opportunity to find a new appreciation for it and to create that deeper connection. Afterward you will have these amazing photographs to remember this special moment forever. Trust me when I say that you will walk away from your session with a massive smile on your face!

3. A unique Gift for Yourself

How many times have you said to yourself ‘’ I will do that when I have achieved … (fill in for yourself)’’ or ‘’ I will buy myself that once I….  (fill in for yourself)’’. Let’s throw all of that out of the window right now. You don’t need a big milestone in your life or a special occasion to treat yourself to an unique experience. You are worthy of all of that already, right now! Boudoir is something that you gift yourself, just for you. Because you are awesome.

4. You are a Work of Art

As I mentioned before, you are unique in every way. Your body, your thoughts, your creativity, your opinions. You are unique, you are a work of art. Through boudoir photography, we showcase just that! We focus together on the smaller details and on you as a whole. Every single photograph is taken with the intention of showcasing the art that is…. you.

5. Choosing yourself

Do I think that putting on lingerie and getting photographs taken is going to change your life? In all honesty, my answer is yes, but only if you allow it to. In the end, this is something that you do just for yourself. When is the last time you did just that? It is not ‘’just’’ saying yes to having your photo taken, you are saying yes at the same time to celebrating yourself, committing to yourself, and choosing to love yourself.
