Is There A Good Reason For A Boudoir Session?

When looking at the reasons to do a Boudoir Session, you might think that there are only two reasons to do it: for yourself or for someone else. I think these qualify for the two main categories but the list of reasons covers more than you might think. Here are a few ideas that could help you understand why you might do a session.

You’re getting married and have heard of boudoir so you search it online and find that it is often used as a gift from the bride to the groom. This is an amazing gift, but not just for the groom. Our bridal clients say that it is just as much for themselves to document this time in their life.

Some clients book their session just as a day of self-love, celebrating who they are at that point in their life. Holidays and birthdays are often times when this is done but you don’t really need a reason to treat yourself.

Milestone birthdays are a great reason. We have clients celebrating their 30^th, 40^th, 50^th and 60^th birthday and looking great doing it. Some women do it a few years after getting married, before starting a family.

Once you are a parent there is often little time to pamper yourself. Mom-mode tends to put others first and leave you as the last thought. This is a great way to step away from that role for a day and remember what it feels like to be the center of attention and taken care of by others.

Some women come to us after a divorce, weight loss or other life changing event. It is so self-empowering to document the new-you. Others will use this as a holiday or anniversary gift.

There are even more reasons that will be covered in future posts. You may be thinking that your reason isn’t listed here. Great! Let us know what it is and we’ll share it with others.

Capturing the beauty of all women through amazing photography is our total focus and we welcome you to work with us at our studio. For even more information, join our private/women only Studio E Boudoir VIP Facebook group HERE.

Perspective – Is yours accurate?

YOU’LL GET TO SEE YOURSELF FROM SOMEONE ELSE’S PERSPECTIVE.

I was looking at a list of the “Top Ten Reasons to do a Boudoir Shoot” and number six really stood out to me. “You’ll get to see yourself from someone else’s perspective.” How often do we get to do that in life? Really get to see ourselves through someone else’s perspective? And how often is that perspective totally positive?

I was working with a woman that had raised several children, gained and lost weight and was older than she used to be (we all are). Her perception of how she looked was her reality.

Let me say that again, “Her perception of how she looked was her reality.” It didn’t matter what those around her said, she still had an overweight mom in her head and couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that she looked amazing to those around her, especially her husband.

In life, what we perceive becomes our reality. It often takes a lot of evidence to change how we feel, especially when it involves personal appearance and our perception of how others see us. Even looking in the mirror won’t change our perception if we have strong enough beliefs of how we look… even when they are wrong.

One of the greatest things that comes from a boudoir session is that shift in perspective. Seeing yourself, after the pampering of working with a hair and makeup artist, in a professionally managed studio setting, changes your perspective.
