Why Every Girl Should do a Boudoir Session
I think most women secretly want to do a boudoir session at some point in their life. But so many of them are scared to, or scared to admit they even want to. And that’s ok, you’re far from alone. I think every woman that I have come in starts by telling me they can’t believe they’re doing this, or that they’re a little scared. I get a lot of messages from girls beforehand saying it sounds like fun, but they just don’t have the body for it and wish they did (psssst….if you’re writing and telling me that, it does mean you really want to and are just looking for someone to tell you its ok to want it…and it is). I can assure you, we’re going to have a good time and laugh a bunch during your session, and you’ll forget about how nervous you are quickly. And afterwards, EVERY single lady tells me how much fun they had, and when they see their images, they feel a boost of confidence they never thought possible, and what woman doesn’t need that?
But why should YOU do a session? The answer is simple, for you. Sure you may have a significant other to gift them to - maybe you’re a bride to be, or about to celebrate a big wedding anniversary, just got divorced, lost a bunch of weight, or you’re about to hit a major birthday milestone - it doesn’t even matter if you don’t have a reason, all those are a small part of the why. A boudoir session is a celebration of you and a special little something you gift yourself, first and foremost, because you want and deserve it. If you have someone special to share them with, it is just an added bonus. Maybe your body isn’t “perfect” in your mind, but that body has carried you through every experience of your life, so why not celebrate it? And if you do have someone special in your life to share the images with, remember, they picked you because they think you’re perfect, and they’re going to love them and what you created for them.
And if that isn’t reason enough, you get to set aside a day for pampering. Not only does it give you an excuse to go shopping, or to reimagine what you have in your wardrobe and have some fun with it, most girls choose to get professional hair and makeup done as well. For a lot of the women, this is the first time getting professional hair and makeup done…..and it is an experience I think every woman should get to have. I guarantee it will give you just the right boost of confidence you may need.
And guess what ladies…..Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I have a beautiful studio rented in Wadsworth, Ohio on January 22 for boudoir sessions in the afternoon. The industrial space has whitewash brick walls with large windows for soft, natural lighting. There is a bed, large victorian couch, and peacock chair, as well as the brick walls for a very simple, fresh look. I’m super excited to shoot in this space! You can view available times and packages through my booking website at https://book.usesession.com/s/EkwsMsWDN.
This is a sample of what the space looks like:
Here are some past boudoir sessions for inspiration, and to show you what kind of images I create and that you don’t have to have a “perfect” body or be a size 0 with 10% bodyfat (yes, some girls think this, and it simply is not true), or wear a skimpy little outfit that shows every part of your womanhood to be full-on sexy. Boudoir sessions are what you make them, and all you really need is a good attitude and bit of confidence to pull it off, even if you wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt for it.
