The Impact of Boudoir
It is so interesting to me when someone replies, “Oh so you take sexy pictures. Why? What for?” Last time I was asked this, I really took a moment to pause and reflect on this. My usual reply is, “What do you mean? Why NOT?!” But it is soooo much more than that. A boudoir experience is meant to empower, uplift and shift your perspective. We provide a space for our clients to express themselves in an intimate, real, authentic way that they may have never experienced before. There is no judgement or expectations. There is no negative self-talk allowed in our studio. We focus on reframing our mindset along with creating art our clients are proud to show off.
Boudoir is so much more then “sexy” pictures. It is an art of self-expression and self-acceptance. A whole day dedicated to getting glammed up, pampered, and be all about you. You are going to feel beautiful, sexy, empowered, and confident. Showing you that you are already all of those things is what makes our job so incredibly rewarding.
The Transformation
Our favorite part of the whole experience is seeing our client’s transformation before our eyes. As your nerves start to fade and you embrace the experience, you can step into a sensual version of yourself that carries with you well after your session. The first time a client sees her image on the back of our camera, her reaction is almost always, “OH MY GOD! I CAN’T BELIEVE I LOOK LIKE THAT!” After that, the session is so fun and easy-going.
Our clients love to share their transformations in our group on Facebook. Check them out! (Search #clienttestimonial in the group to help find some!)
A Little Piece of Our Story
Beca and I met in the medical field where we both specialized in women’s imaging. Our passionate for impacting women has always been of high importance to us both. Our personal self-love journeys are similar as well!
When my first daughter was born I was hyper aware of everything I said to myself. Would I allow anyone to say these things to my daughter? HEEECKKK NO! I wasn’t going to teach her to say those things to herself either.
I started with body-neutrality with things I felt negatively towards. That has slowly grown to appreciation for things I was so unkind to myself about. This might seem like such a far jump from where you are now, but the process has to begin somewhere. About 8 months after having my first daughter, I decided to do my own session. Looking at my photos gave me SO MUCH confidence, and I loved the way I felt.
Boudoir sessions can be addicting because of how fun they are. Wait and see!
