Is This the Time for Your Boudoir?

You've been saying it for months, maybe longer. "Someday I'm going to do a boudoir session, but..." But there is always something. As caretakers you always put others first. You take care of family- kids, Mom and Dad, Significant Other. Life can be pretty hectic so we forget about taking care of ourselves. When life gets like that, remember what the flight attendant says when describing the oxygen masks falling from the ceiling. "You can't take care of others until you take care of yourself." Well, something like that! The moral to that is the better you care for yourself, the better you take care of everyone else. Imagine your energy levels you have for others when you do something for yourself that you have been putting off.

Maybe you've been thinking, "I need to lose a few pounds." Why not let your boudoir experience help you celebrate you as you are? The idea of boudoir photography is not just sexy pictures, it is about loving and feeling good about yourself. Sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves that we don't see the beauty in us that others see. Your boudoir photographer may use posing and lighting to flatter your body, and through pre-session consultation will learn your likes and discomforts. But in the end, it's about feeling confident that you did the thing you were hesitant or nervous about. So don't let a few pounds rob you of building that confidence and self-esteem. 

I'm nervous! Of course you are! Choose a photographer that you are comfortable with. Talk with them about any questions or concerns or what the session will be like. There is a boudoir photographer for you! I always appreciate a client who is nervous at the beginning of the shoot, and during the session she becomes the rock star right before my eyes!

As a photographer, and as a person, I am saying make the time! I know it's busy. Work. Connecting with family and friends. Squeezing in gym time. Your boudoir session will take just a few hours out of a day. Take a break! Nervous? You will be surprised how just taking the consultation with your photographer will ignite an excitement and anticipation as to what is to come. If you are reading this you have been thinking about a personal boudoir shoot for a while. Congratulations! You only needed a little inspiration to start. This is your time!
