3 Reasons Every Woman Needs to do a Boudoir Photo Session Once in Her Life!

Admit it, you've thought about doing a boudoir session before! Maybe you're thinking a boudoir album is a sweet gift for that special someone in your life, or perhaps the thought of stripping down and showing off just how radiant and confident you are sounds enticing. Maybe you're intrigued by the idea of doing something out of your comfort zone and the benefits that will have on your soul.

But, like many women, there may be some excuses boppin around in your head on why now isn't the right time for you. I’m here to tell you why you should throw aside those negative thoughts, strip down and show off your seductive side.

1. OK, let’s jump a head a little here. You know you're gonna walk out of your shoot with these amazing photos that you're going to want to look at over and over again (perhaps even show off to some friends).

But before we get to that point, you are going to experience something during your photo shoot that is a feeling beyond anything you’ve ever felt before when looking at your own body.  You’re going to have an overwhelming sense of empowerment. You likely came into this photo shoot feeling nervous and in the moment you’re going to be so proud of yourself for doing something way beyond your comfort zone.

As we move through pose after pose, and you see your photos on the back of my camera, your feelings of confidence are going to continue to grow. You’re going to be amazed. “ Is that me in the back of the camera? I didn’t know I could look like that!”

You’ll leave the studio and continue to walk on clouds for weeks afterwards, knowing that you just did something so thrilling so empowering. So next level. Nothing can stop you now. 

"I wanted to do this as a gift to my partner, but it ended up being a pretty big gift to myself. I have never really felt sexy, and this experience made me realize all the reasons why, and then realize that those were all nonsense! It was a really positive and empowering experience for me, and I truly appreciate your work."

​2. Reason #2 why... because there's no good excuse not to.

If you're worried that you don't have anyone to give these photos to > who cares?! This shoot is supposed to be all about you anyways. DO IT FOR YOURSELF. And if the time comes where you have a significant other you want to share your boudoir photos with - great! Now they can see how sexy and confident you were before they even came into the picture!

If you’re worried that you want to lose weight > when you work with a professional photographer, they’ll pose you in order to accentuate those things you absolutely love about your body and hide those that you don’t.

And really, isn't it time to exterminate the self hatred that has been bread into us by society and embrace your body as is? This body that has carried you through all of your best and hardest times in life. To say "thank you. I love you. I appreciate your beauty".

If you're thinking "I have no reason/ occasion" > celebrating you is reason enough! It doesn't have to be your birthday, anniversary or wedding to have photos done. Simply wanting to capture yourself at this stage in your life is a great reason to do a boudoir session.

Look back at yourself five, ten years ago. Knowing what you know now, would you have wanted her to take these photos? I'm going to guess yes.

So do it NOW. Your future self will thank you.

In the wise words of Moira Rose... "Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies." But believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, "Dear God, I was a beautiful thing."

3. If you're a woman reading this, I know you're spending way more time and effort taking care of everyone around you than you are of yourself. It's time to do something for YOU.

Take this opportunity to pamper yourself - get your hair and make up professionally done, buy new shoes, lingerie and jewelry. See yourself in a new light. Treat yourself like the Queen you are!
