5 Reasons You Need To Do a Boudoir Photoshoot

I feel that every woman deserves a boudoir shoot.

You don’t think you’re feminine enough? You don’t ever feel sexual? You hate lingerie? You’re not “pretty enough?” 

I call B.S.

You’re a woman, right?

Boudoir photography is a way for you to embrace the woman you are - and maybe even the woman you strive to be - no matter if that woman puts on a dress skirt and stilettos each day, or would rather just eat ice cream in your fruit of the loom sweat pants. 

Forget all the reasons you think you shouldn’t and let’s talk about the reasons I think you NEED to do a boudoir Photoshoot.

1. It’s Friday.

You don’t need much more of an excuse than that! It’s Friday, so F*ck it. Let’s do this thing.

That’s right. You can do a Boudoir Photoshoot for absolutely no reason at all. 

2. It’s your birthday.

Happy Birthday, pretty lady! What better way to celebrate another year on this earth than to get dolled up and feel like a lingerie model for the day?! 

You work hard. Treat yourself with a heavy dose of self love and appreciation. 

3. You’re ready to challenge yourself and push your own limits

For many women, even the thought of posing semi-clothed or nude in front of a stranger with a camera is terrifying. It might have even been a childhood nightmare of yours! 

Our own fears, insecurities, and inhibitions can get in the way sometimes, and a great boudoir photographer understands that and helps you feel comfortable without feeling pressured.

Facing your fears can be a life-changing experience, and one I know you’ll never regret.

4. You recently lost your partner. 

You’re recently single for some reason? I’ve been there. It’s a tough time, and for some women it can be difficult to get back into the “dating scene” or even to truly love themselves through this transition. 

In my experience, my boudoir session boosted my sensuality, my confidence, and comfort in my own skin. Even if you’re not planning on dating anytime soon, that increase in your sexual awareness can actually increase your confidence in other areas of your life - your career, your friendships, and really, the way you feel about yourself in general. 

5. You’re getting married.

Congratulations!!!

A boudoir photo album can make a beautiful gift for your partner. You’ve been working so hard to get in the “perfect wedding dress shape” (trust me, there is no such thing, but keep trying!), so it makes sense to get in your skivvies and capture your hard work in a very intimate way in order to share with your loved one. They’ll love it and can look back on your prints or album as you continue your journey together. 

I dare you to think this gift is only for your partner, though. I think you’ll be surprised to find out the true gift is in the experience, that carries out into your everyday life as well. 

And I’ll be seeing you for your “Anniversary Photoshoot ” ;)

I could keep going, seriously. There are SO many reasons to experience a Boudoir Photoshoot!!

Ultimately, the reason is all yours. I’m just here to hold the mirror and show you how amazing and beautiful you truly are. That whatever it is that brings you to the studio, the only thing that matters in that moment, is you.

Emma’s reason? Just because. She’s a competitive body builder, and while she’s not exactly where she ultimately wants to be, she’s happy and in love with her body now, and wanted to capture that.
