Have you thought about a boudoir shoot but just not sure yet? Do you wonder if it is for you? Here are a few suggestions why women do a boudoir session. You might see yourself in one of these to give you a little incentive!

1. You Are Gorgeous!

Looking for a way to put away those negative feelings and love your body? If you never thought you could feel or look like a model, boudoir is a great way to open your mind and love yourself. The great thing about boudoir photography is that you can do it for yourself and don't have to share it unless you want! Imagine the feeling of leafing through your boudoir album and reminding yourself how beautiful you are. And you will always be able to go there on days when you need a little spirit boost.

2. Look at You Being All Confident!

"I'm really glad I did this. I was feeling kind of bad about myself." Yes, I have heard this after a shoot. And that was before she even saw the pictures! Boudoir photography can be that boost you need occasionally. After you spend an hour or so playing the model and hearing encouraging feedback, you begin to walk a little taller and smile a little more. By the end of the session you have forgotten all about the nerves and the shyness. Boudoir is more than just taking sexy pictures in lingerie. It can be a confidence building experience!

3. Let's Celebrate!!

Anniversary? Birthday? Weight loss? Or just feelin' good! A boudoir session is an exciting way to celebrate. Recently a client booked a session to commemorate her 35th wedding anniversary. Which brings us to...

4. Giving the Perfect Gift!

Is there a better gift to give than yourself? Soon to be brides do boudoir sessions to give their SO on their wedding night. Picture the expression when they receive a 5x5 album filled with beautiful, elegant, hot photos to be cherished forever. Maybe you just want to give for a special occasion, or just feel like doing something to spice things up. Whatever the reason, boudoir can be the perfect gift. Now isn't it really better to give than receive?

5. Just Because

You know you really don't need a reason for a boudoir shoot. It is a fun time to have your hair and makeup done, be a model and have a luxury experience for a day. What a great reason to shop for wardrobe and lingerie! You take care of a lot of others at home, work or volunteering. You've heard that you can't take care of others unless you take care of yourself! It's time to do something for you!

Why Do I Shoot Boudoir?

I began my photography career because I loved taking people pictures. I bought my first camera a day before my first trip to New York City. I knew that I planned to photograph the landmarks but, as you know, the streets in New York are full of lively personalities!

I discovered a love for photographing personalities. I am fortunate to have been a wedding photographer for 15 years. It was an honor to be invited to the most special days in their lives. I found that at the end of the day I will almost always get hugs from bride and mom.

This kind of led me into portraiture for women. I knew that all my reviews were how I helped brides feel comfortable in front of the camera in what could be an extraordinary yet stressful day. So I wanted to continue and learned as much as I could by being involved in boudoir workshops and working with many, many models.

Honestly I am not sure what I do to create a fun, easy atmosphere. I enjoy having fun and try to be as encouraging as I need to be. There is no greater feeling for me than to see confidence and self-love rise from a client during a photo shoot. And that makes all the difference!
