What is Boudoir Photography?
What is boudoir photography?
Boudoir photography is an empowering way to celebrate you. Too often, we look in the mirror and criticize how we look or go out in the world and compare ourselves negatively to others. Everyone has something they're insecure about, and it can be hard to quiet the critical voice in your head. My mission is to show you how beautiful and wonderful you truly are. Boudoir photos help you see yourself the way your partner or your friends see you and push back against self criticism.
Most of my clients have never had a boudoir photoshoot before and come in feeling nervous and unsure of themselves. Without fail, they relax over the course of the session, end up having fun, and leave with a huge boost of confidence. When I show them sneak peeks of the pictures I've taken during the shoot, I often hear, "Wow! Is that really me?" and "Oh, my gosh! I look so sexy!"
Why book a boudoir photoshoot?
Many brides book a bridal boudoir session before their weddings and have photo books made as gifts for their partners. Other people may have boudoir photos taken after a divorce as a gift to themselves to remind them that they are beautiful, sexy, and desirable. Mums who have been feeling down about their bodies often find that boudoir photography can help them reclaim their confidence and sensuality. I've had the joy of working with women who have hated their bodies for years and used their boudoir photos as a jumping off point for changing how they view themselves. Other women have come to me to capture a moment in time before breast cancer surgery. Even if you already love how you look, boudoir photography can be a fun way to celebrate your body and feel great in the skin you're in.
Who is boudoir photography for?
Boudoir photography is for everyone, at any age, and all body types. It's about showing you how gorgeous you already are. You don't need to lose weight first. You're not too old. You are enough exactly as you are -- and I want to prove it to you with amazing photos you'll love. I talk with every client before their photoshoot to get a sense of their personality, why they want a boudoir session, what they may feel self-conscious about, and what they like most about their bodies. I'll encourage you and coach you throughout the session on how to pose to show off your body to the fullest. I'll help you figure out what to wear and make sure you come out of the photoshoot feeling great.
