Boudoir photography seems to bring up two ideas: It is either done as a gift for a partner…or it’s naughty. This is not the case. A boudoir session is an amazing way to show off your beauty and confidence. It’s a great opportunity to express your unique personality, and have a fun, liberating experience. Here are five reasons why you should consider doing a boudoir shoot:
Boudoir photography is empowering
So many of us often struggle with body image and self-confidence, and a boudoir shoot can help boost your self-esteem. It’s an opportunity to celebrate your body, no matter what shape or size you are. You can go all out with styling, makeup, and lingerie. It’s a chance to show off your individual beauty and feel empowered when you see the results.
A session can help document a milestone
Whether it’s a wedding, a special birthday, or just because, a boudoir shoot is a great way to document a milestone in your life. Some choose to use it to document physical metamorphoses that they are proud of–a boudoir session can allow you to take ownership of that change for yourself. You can look back on the photos with pride and reminisce on the special time in your life. That’s a great reason to book boudoir photography.
Boudoir photography is fun and creative
As a photographer, I love photographing boudoir sessions because they are unlike anything else. are a great way to get creative and have fun. You can choose any type of setting, from a studio to a beach. You can also try out different poses, experiment with more dramatic or retro hair and makeup looks, and spice up with unexpected wardrobe pieces.
