Believe me, I fully understand the fear and nervousness when you think about booking a boudoir session! Just the thought of stripping down to your underwear in front of a complete stranger is enough to steer people away from taking the leap. Boudoir is vulnerable. It’s scary and raw and is FAR outside of most people’s comfort zones!

But it’s also empowering. It’s beautiful and inspiring and can change your whole outlook on yourself! So if you’re one of those people who are on the fence about booking your session, here are a few reasons why I ABSOLUTELY believe you should go for it!

Boudoir can help restore your confidence!

Like most people, I have battled several insecurities throughout my life. Insecurities that, for the longest time, made me hide myself. I have always been “skinny”, but not the skinny that you see in mainstream media- long legs, curvy in all the right places, and flawless skin. I’ve always been the awkward, clumsy skinny. The kind with little to no curves, acne, and a very poor self image.

Boudoir has helped me see past that. Boudoir has helped me recognize the fact that my body is MAGNIFICENT! It has helped me realize that I am far more beautiful than I originally viewed myself as, and I strive every single day to make others feel the same way. Body dysmorphia, to be honest, is a bitch. It can make you feel ugly and not attractive at all, and is something that many of my clients struggle with. But then, when we get to their reveal and they see their true beauty from my point of view, it’s unbelievable to them! I’ve had people ask if I used photoshop to make them look different because they’re in awe of what they see. They’re starstruck seeing themselves through my eyes, and I cannot tell you just how life-changing that feeling is!

Because you deserve it!

We spend so much time going through life, that sometimes we actually forget live! Between working ⅓ of the day (if not more), taking care of kids/parents/spouses/pets, balancing social activities, planning for the future, balancing schedules, and remembering to eat and sleep here and there, we often let self care fall to the wayside. You forget to give yourself a break. You deserve a day that you get to be pampered with professional hair and makeup, get to wear beautiful and sexy clothes, and spend time with people whose main goal is to help bring out your inner badass! And on top of that, you’ll have a memento to remind you of this experience. Whether it’s an album, digital images, or a beautiful piece of art to display, you’ll always have that reminder of your inner goddess.

Always remember that self care is NEVER selfish!

Because you want to celebrate an important time in your life!

Did you just celebrate a milestone in your life?! That is the PERFECT occasion for a boudoir session! Whether you just got out of a relationship and are reclaiming yourself, celebrating a birthday, having a baby, or simply because it’s a day that ends in Y, a boudoir session is the perfect way to create a memento of this incredible time of your life. We actually just recently photographed a beautiful lady who booked a session to celebrate her being cancer free!

Regardless of the occasion, life is such a precious thing. It’s fleeting, and seems to go by in the blink of an eye without us realizing it. By booking a boudoir session, I can guarantee that you will always remember this experience and this special time of your life!

Because it makes for an amazing gift- to yourself or someone else!

Relating back to our previous point, a boudoir session is an incredible way to document who you are right now. It’s something that you can look back on years later and think “WOW, I can’t believe that’s me!” Boudoir is so empowering, and the residual feeling of being a confident queen will last so much longer than just the three hours that you have us for. It’s a feeling that you carry with you, and that alone makes it an incredible gift to give yourself!

It’s also an amazing gift to give your significant other! I mean, just imagine it- it’s your S/O’s birthday, they open their gift from you, and it’s a beautiful photo album filled with photos of you looking GLAMOROUS and STUNNING and CONFIDENT. Or, you give it to your fiance(e) right before your wedding! Seeing their face light up as they look through your beautiful photos is such an amazing feeling, and you can take my word on that.

It’s a chance to step out of your comfort zone!

Each one of us has our set, safe way of life. A role that we have taken on, and that we feel defines us- whether it’s your job or your family title. We have a comfort zone, and that’s not a bad thing!

As a mom myself, I know that it can feel extremely selfish to do something for yourself. You are so focused on taking care of your family- getting the kids to school, taking them to karate, keeping them entertained while at home, all while trying to raise them into good and kind human beings. THAT is much more than a full time job, so sometimes doing things for yourself may feel like you’re taking away from their lives.

As a multi-business owner, believe me when I say that I KNOW how overwhelming that can be! I am so grateful and proud of the companies I have built, but it’s hard work that sometimes feels like it’s never ending. There’s always something more I could be doing, so taking time and doing something just for ME can be stressful!

Basically, what I’m saying is that I empathize. Your plate is already so full, and you’re so set into your role that it is scary to stray away from it! That being said, it is definitely necessary to step back and remember that you are so much more than your role. Some of the most amazing experiences you will ever have are outside of your daily comfort zone, and boudoir is one of those! A boudoir session is a safe place to let loose, and bring out the sensual side of yourself that usually gets buried beneath all the other “roles” you take on.
