Why You Should Book a Boudoir Photo Shoot for Yourself
Boudoir has always fascinated me, from black and white to color, the poses, the lingerie. But what I love most is the confidence my clients find as the session unfolds.
One day I was scrolling through Facebook and came across a beautiful boudoir-style photo. The comments were full of admiration, and just as many were full of self-doubt. So many women wrote things like, “I wish I could do something like this,” or “I need to lose weight so I can get photos like these done.”
I hear those comments all the time, and I still can’t believe how much self-doubt we carry. I wanted to scream, “No, that shouldn’t matter. Just do it!”
Four Reasons to Book a Boudoir Photo Shoot for Yourself
1. You learn to appreciate your true self
As women, we often hold an image in our heads of how we think we should look, and we keep trying to perfect ourselves until we get there. But our bodies tell the story of who we are: the stretch marks, the soft skin on your belly, the laugh lines, the color of your hair, the freckles, moles, weight and scars. All of it is part of your story, and we have to learn to embrace it.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and photography is a form of storytelling. My job is to make you comfortable and capture you authentically, so your photos tell your story and show you how beautiful you really are.
Tell your story. Don’t wait until you lose those last few pounds. Don’t let “being too old” stop you from living out a dream. And definitely don’t wait until you have someone to do it for. Do it for yourself. You are enough. Remember the child inside you who had no self-doubt, who wasn’t afraid of anything. Embrace your body.
2. It’s a rebellious act of self-care
Women are beautiful, but we often don’t let ourselves feel that way. We skip self-care and self-love every day trying to meet impossible standards. We put our families and careers before our own needs because we are nurturing creatures, and we need to remember to nurture ourselves, too. (I forget this all the time, so I do understand.)
So rebel against your everyday routine. Make time for you and the things that make you feel good. Don’t feel guilty about scheduling a boudoir session for yourself. When you take care of your mind, body and soul, the people in your life benefit too.
3. You deserve that feeling of pure confidence
There is a natural confidence that kicks in when you feel sexy and beautiful in your own skin. It’s the same feeling you get when your hair and makeup are done and you catch yourself in the mirror. Most of us have felt it at least once, and there is nothing like feeling gorgeous.
4. It’s an experience
I’m a firm believer in living life to the fullest. If you find yourself envious of someone else’s life, take a step back and figure out what, exactly, you’re envious of. If you keep obsessing over a change, then damn it, change it. If you have a Pinterest board full of travel destinations, go to those places. And if you find yourself admiring women in boudoir photos, book your shoot.
Your life is made up of the experiences you have. Don’t sit around waiting for life to happen to you. Make it happen. We all have excuses or “reasons” for not following through on our dreams. I make excuses for myself daily, but those excuses aren’t going to matter when I look back on my life. Don’t let “I regret it, I wish I would have” happen to you. Do it now. Life is too short.
Clients Like Adrian Inspire Me
I admire clients like Adrian. She was absolutely amazing. We did her boudoir session days before her mastectomy, and she was inspired to show off her body before both breasts were removed. We all need to embrace our true selves.
