During every phone consultation I ask, "What makes you interested in boudoir?" Over the years, I have heard so many different answers! I love knowing someone's motivation so that I can tailor the experience to fit their personal goals. I truly believe in the benefits of boudoir and think everyone deserves this memorable experience.
Here are my top 5 reasons to have a boudoir session:
TO BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE
Every woman has their own personal journey with self love. We tend to be our own worst critics, and often see our flaws before our strengths. Society has so many expectations surrounding beauty that influence our self image. It can be difficult to make the time and commitment to taking care of ourselves. To me, boudoir is so much more than a photoshoot, it is an investment in your mental health and well being. It's a reason to get back in touch with your emotions and allow yourself to be pampered. Clients often open up about their insecurities or trauma, and I create a safe space to let them go.
In the studio, we honor ourselves by speaking kindly about ourselves. I *SHOW* you how beautiful you are. Getting to see yourself from an artistic viewpoint can be a confident catalyst. So many women cannot believe they are the person in the photograph, and come away with a renewed sense of self acceptance.
CELEBRATING A MILESTONE
Boudoir is a great way to document a special time in your life. I love celebrating Client Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, pregnancies, promotions, retirement, and so on! Every phase of life brings new reasons to celebrate your body and and reflect on how far you have come.
A GIFT FOR A LOVED ONE
Yes, presenting an album to your special someone is a thoughtful gift. MORE IMPORTANTLY, you are also giving them the gift of a happier, more confident partner. They will surely appreciate such a sentimental memento.
TO GET OUR OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Let's be honest: boudoir tends to be one of those experiences outside of most women's comfort zone. Most women I work with don't even own lingerie. Many never wear makeup. Client's often struggle with seeing themselves as sexy. Being vulnerable and confronting your insecurities is not something we do often.
By putting yourself in a new situation, you open yourself up to new possibilities. After you leave the studio, you have permanent proof that you can do things that scare you.
FOR FUN!
Boudoir is on most women's bucket list! You've seen how much fun we have in the studio and just want a day to feel pampered and well... ALIVE. It's a blast to have a day to yourself to relax and get all glammed up! It is a day of fun dedicated to YOU.
