Some women are apprehensive to schedule a boudoir session even though they’ve been wanting to for a long time. I’ve heard every reason in the book why they’re putting it off: I’m not skinny enough (more on that topic later), I’m not confident enough, I shouldn’t spend the money on myself… the list goes on and on. While I believe you should do things in your own time and that you should only have your shoot when you’re ready, most of you are ready but don’t know it. If you’ve been debating whether you should schedule your boudoir session, don’t think of all the excuses why not to. Instead, look at all these reasons why you should.
1. You Deserve to Be Pampered
Whether you’re a mom, a wife, working three jobs, or working while going to school, most of you ladies work hard taking care of business or taking care of somebody else but rarely get to focus on just yourselves. You deserve a day that will be all about you. At your boudoir shoot, you get to sit back, relax, and sip champagne like a boss while your hair and makeup get professionally done. You get to dress up in your sexy lingerie and be a model for the day. There’s no kind of pampering like a boudoir pampering!
2. Be Empowered/Confident/Sexy
Trust me, I understand the intimidation of posing in front of a camera half naked. However, I like to think of myself as someone that people can easily feel comfortable around. I keep things professional yet allow you to let your guard down. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered… or — ahem — uncovered. One of my favorite parts of my job is hearing my clients say how comfortable and confident they feel after their shoot. Even if you feel like you don’t know how to be sexy, you will most definitely learn that you do! I will guide you through every step of the shoot, from your head down to your toes (literally) and help bring out your inner sex kitten (and the champagne helps, too!). It is so rewarding when I see that change in a client’s face when she begins to feel sexy and confident, and I believe that everybody deserves to feel that way. When you see your pictures, you’ll get an even bigger boost in confidence; for most, their whole self-perception changes dramatically. You are beautiful, and after your shoot, you will definitely feel that way.
3. Capture Your Beauty With Something You’ll Have Forever
Think of how you look right now. There may be some things about yourself that you don’t particularly like. Now, think about how you looked a few years ago. You’ve probably changed at least somewhat over the years, right? We go through so many changes, and there is something beautiful about all stages of life, whether pre-baby, post-baby, or rockin’ that revenge bod. The truth is, you won’t always look the way you do now, and you might want to have something to look back on (and maybe even a few different stages of your life to look back on) when you’re older. While I believe that beauty has no age, boudoir can help you capture your youth with something you’ll have forever and let you remember the experience as well as how amazing you looked and felt. With my heirloom products, your photos are guaranteed to last a lifetime.
4. It’s an Excuse to Go Shopping
Who doesn’t love a good excuse to go shopping for themselves? You’ll want to have at least two or three outfits for your shoot, so go and have fun buying yourself something sexy. And, if you’re giving the photos as a present to your significant other, I’m sure they’ll enjoy seeing the outfits in real life, too.
5. Make Memories With Your Friends
Whether you’re bringing along some friends to your shoot for support, doing a group session, or just sharing your photos with your friends after, boudoir offers multiple ways to make memories with your besties. And, the added bonus is that your hair and makeup will already be done for a girls’ night, date night, or just walking around town feeling like a boss! Get it girl!!
6. Your Significant Other Will Love It
Okay, this one is obvious, but it's true! There are so many occasions that call for boudoir photography: getting married, having an anniversary, your partner’s birthday, the holidays, or just because… there is always an excuse to give a boudoir present, and your significant other will value such a thoughtful and personal gift more than you realize.
7. It’s a Gift to Yourself
Do you think boudoir photography is just a gift for that special someone? Think again! What a better gift to give yourself than… yourself?! Imagine waking up every morning looking at a photo of yourself saying, "Damn, that's me!" Or when you’re having one of those days and are just not feeling it. It's the best pick-me-up!
