Why You Should Book a Boudoir Session Even If You’re Not a ‘Girly Girl’
A woman reached out to me recently to inquire about booking a boudoir session, but I could tell that something was holding her back. So I asked her about her hesitation and she revealed that she’s “not really the type to do boudoir.”
The type?
Sure, some of my clients are the ultra-feminine girly girls who love lace, pearls, and all things pink, however, MOST of them are not. A boudoir session is a place where ALL women have the ability to define and showcase their own brand of femininity. So whether you love feminine lace, leather and chains, or a camo t-shirt, this experience is right for you. There are so many reasons you don’t need to be a girly girl to enjoy and reap all the benefits of the boudoir experience, and here are my top three.
A boudoir session is an opportunity to celebrate you as you are.
The boudoir experience is not about achieving an end in which you look like a pin-up doll—it’s about capturing your beauty and power as it is right at this very moment in time. And it doesn’t end when you hang up a gorgeous photo of yourself. It changes who you are and how you celebrate being a woman. No more second-guessing if you are good enough for the job you are applying for or the promotion you’ve been wanting. No more tolerating the way people belittle or talk down to you simply because you are female. Instead, you will leave our session feeling completely emboldened in who you are and start to demand what you deserve.
I never expect you to be anything that you are not.
This session is a chance to play with your style and take risks, but risks that help you feel more comfortable in your own skin. Some of my clients are most confident in a body-conscious dress while others are much more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt. They’re both still sexy, powerful women.
Maybe your brand of femininity doesn’t look like everyone else’s, and it shouldn’t! Define your femininity in your own way during your shoot. You will find that you are celebrating the way you define yourself rather than comparing yourself to others after the time we spend together, and you will take this new attitude into the world outside of the boudoir session.
Boudoir is the ultimate act of self-love and everyone deserves that.
So many women think that boudoir is all about their partner. While it can be one of the most personal and thoughtful gifts, boudoir should be more about YOU. Your relationship with yourself is the most important and longest lasting one of your life—do the work to foster that relationship.
Wherever your life journey has taken you, it has led you to this point. Maybe you’re overcoming body image issues, going through a divorce, or lost track of who you are. Or maybe you’re celebrating an achievement, commemorating a milestone, or hell, just doing this because you WANT to. Whatever the reason, set aside your expectations of the type of woman who does a boudoir session and give yourself this gift.
So maybe pink feathers and lace aren’t your thing. But if a life-altering day where you get to walk away with gorgeous photos and a new attitude about yourself and what you deserve in life is something you can get behind, then reach out today and book a session!
