What is Boudoir Photography?
1. WHAT IS BOUDOIR?
Simply put, it is an intimate style of photography… but really it is so much more than that. Some people think of boudoir as pretty pictures of women in lingerie, and then there are the women who have done it. Life changing might sound extreme, but boudoir can absolutely be that. It may be intimidating at first, but it will leave you with a lasting sense of confidence. Trust me! Boudoir isn’t about getting sexy photos. My favorite thing about boudoir is that it is about seeing yourself in a way you have never seen yourself before! Before your session, we will talk about what you are looking for from your session, and we will tailor the experience to you!
2. WHEN DID BOUDOIR BECOME A THING?
Boudoir didn’t pop up in the Instagram age, it actually goes back a long way (before photography, women were painted in the playful style boudoir is known for)! A boudoir refers to a woman’s bedroom or private parlor, but boudoir photography is less about the room and more about cultivating a space that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. You’re going to leave your session feeling like the goddess you are!
3. WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO A BOUDOIR SESSION?
There are plenty of reasons to book a boudoir session, some of which I have blogged about before, but you don’t need a special occasion! Sometimes “just because,” is enough. The photos are great gifts for a partner, but the experience is an even better gift for you and the photos are a pretty awesome souvenir. Being sexy isn’t just for other people. Loving your sexy self should be an all-day every day thing, and a boudoir session is a great way to celebrate that.
4. WHO IS BOUDOIR FOR?
EVERYONE! If you have a body, boudoir is for you. This experience will be one of the best things you’ve ever done for yourself. Boudoir is not limited to any shape, size, age, or ability level. You don’t need to be ten years younger or ten pounds lighter to do a session. You deserve to feel confident in the body you are in RIGHT NOW, and your body deserves all the love exactly the way you are.
5. HOW DO I BOOK?
Boudoir is seriously my favorite thing, and I am so honored when women trust me with their session. It’s totally normal to feel nervous! I will make sure you feel beautiful, and I promise you will love your photos. Want to learn more about a boudoir session with Your Natural State?
