When you book your first boudoir shoot, it’s a flurry of excitement, change, and newness all at once. There’s a feeling of “finally! I did it” mixed with “what am I getting myself into?” Is that normal? Absolutely.

But in the end, it’s not just about the photos you receive but the confidence you build during your shoot. Your photos express an elegance and empowerment from your core that you deserve to celebrate - sensuality and vulnerability entangled together.

Self Acceptance

Have you considered how vulnerability is confidence? Learning to be soft, open, and sensitive in a world that craves harshness and closed-off attitudes is an act of defiance and confidence. Boudoir takes it a step further to teach us how being vulnerable is part of the human experience.

Whether you’re laying on the plush velvet couch at One Union Studios, sitting in the window with natural light flowing down your shoulders, or next to the mirror so you can see yourself - all of yourself - your vulnerability and confidence mix to create art. Boudoir takes a moment to center the attention on your beauty, personality, curves, wrinkles, scars, and everything that makes you… you.

Beauty and Art

There’s a saying that goes “you wouldn’t step into a museum and judge the artwork, so why do you judge yourself when you’re a work of art?” Boudoir photography and the photos you receive from your shoot are a work of art with you at the center. Each moment of the shoot has you, the artwork, breathing in what makes you insanely beautiful.

Bring a few options of outfits to choose from that bring out your very best. If you have accessories that light you up, bring those, too! Art is mixing patterns, colors, and textures. While you pose, think about the parts of your body you adore and are grateful for. Watch your poise take flight!

Seeing Yourself

In our day-to-day life, we don’t see what others see in us. While we’re running errands, talking to a friend over coffee, or doing chores around the house, you don’t see what others see. Your fierce determination, stubbornness, and quick wit are often buried in your subconscious.

Boudoir releases those inner workings as images that capture not just your physical body, but your divine spirit inside. While we all have our ideals of “perfect” and how we may not measure up, you’ll be able to see your body from a brand new perspective and with fresh eyes. A shoot allows you to capture the rare opportunity to see yourself as the world does - with grace and without judgement.

If you’re ready to step into your power and divinity, I would love to talk to you more about booking your shoot. Watching women come to life in front of my lens is powerful and I would love to share that experience with you!
