Many women think a boudoir session is just not for them, that boudoir is for soon-to-be-brides or gorgeous young women who can pose and strut their stuff like models. But boudoir is so much more than lingerie and sexy posing. Boudoir is about seeing yourself from a different perspective and finding power and strength in who you are.
There are many different reasons: birthdays, anniversaries, milestones, but some reasons are much more emotional.
For example, I had a client schedule a session for her boyfriend and then nearly cancel because she found out he was cheating on her. I told her to come in anyway because looking good is always the best revenge.
By the time she came in, they were back together again. She was choosing to stay as an expression of love and commitment to work on the relationship.
It was a much needed reminder that she is truly worthy and beautiful.
A boudoir session can be a reminder that the things you believe you "lack" have nothing to do with your spouse or significant other’s actions.
Other women in the same situation come to me because they’re going through a divorce or leave their significant other. Their boudoir session serves as a way to reconnect with themselves and their sexuality.
I've had women come in who have lost a significant amount of weight, but still identify with the "before" weight-loss version of themselves. They still find themselves gravitating to plus-sized clothing and rejecting styles that are body-conscious because they don't feel they can pull them off, but seeing photos of themselves in their new body helps them get comfortable with the idea of being a smaller size.
Still others may come in after they’ve had surgery of some kind . The boudoir session helps empower them to feel beautiful and whole again.
In a way, a boudoir session is a kind of therapy. You can funnel your fears and pain into something positive, and more importantly, ART!
Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
Have you ever wanted to try something you’ve never done before or maybe be someone else for the day? Many women feel boudoir is way outside their comfort zone, but that’s what is so freeing about it! Take a chance and let your guard down. You’ll be so glad you did.
Embrace your age
Boudoir isn’t just for the very young. You deserve to celebrate your beauty at any age, whether it’s 30 or 50. A boudoir session can help you see just how uniquely gorgeous you are.
Boost your confidence
There are plenty of times in your life when you could use a little more confidence, whether it’s moving to a new city or starting a new job. Boudoir photos can be something you can look back on years later to remind yourself of a moment when you were brave and bold. That confidence will definitely come in handy.
It is my firm belief that every woman deserves to feel beautiful, sexy, and stunning. And I would love to help make that happen!
