What your boudoir session will really reveal

I’m sure you clicked on this because you want to know what your boudoir session will reveal about you. Well since I’ve got you here…

I’ve seen so many ads and posts from photographers who do boudoir sessions pushing women to do it for a confidence boost or to feel sexy. Or the many other surface-level reasons that honestly can just promote the stigma of beauty.

It’s more than confidence.

Of course, a boudoir photo shoot is a confidence boost, there is no doubt about that. And I want that for every woman who walks into my studio. In fact, every client has told me how much of a confidence boost they’ve gotten and of course, how empowered they’ve felt from the session alone. Some alone time to be pampered is great for every busy human, but that time doesn’t address the core of our needs for connection, healing, and peace.

When you come back to my studio for your ordering appointment, usually about a week after your session with me, I like to talk about what you want to feel when you see your images. Some want to see what others see, some want that perfect version of themselves. Some are on a healing journey from an abusive relationship and want to accept that they are beautiful and their sexuality is theirs.

I think it’s important to know if you’re going to do a boudoir photo shoot with me. 

I want you to feel…enough. To feel worthy.

Yes, I use Photoshop on your photos. I spend hours editing each session. We remove bruises and pimples and generally smooth skin. But this isn’t about Photoshopping us until we’re “perfect” and unrecognizable. I want you to see how incredible you are without body morphing. And I do that with careful and experienced posing, yes, but I don’t make an unrealistic version of you.

I want you to see yourself and know it’s exactly who are you. The woman in that photo, in front of a window with her great hair and her booty popped — that’s you. Not a version of you that’s been liquified so much that you’re unrecognizable. But really, actually you.

When you see the woman in your photos, I want you to see that and love her. Maybe she has more of a tummy than she did 10 years ago, and maybe her chest isn’t as perky as it was when she was in college. But I want you to look at the woman in the images and know that she is worthy, she is enough, she is kind and thoughtful and caring, and seeing all those things, to know she is beautiful, but that her beauty doesn’t define her. 

And that is what your boudoir session will really reveal.

That you are enough, you are worthy, that you are kind and thoughtful and caring, and beautiful.
