Why Boudoir Photography?
Why do I love photographing boudoir? To me, it is so much more than photos. It’s about self-acceptance, body positivity, and self love. It’s about doing something for yourself when you give so much of yourself to others. It’s about the transformation that takes place between the time you walk in my studio and walk back out that door. It is about feeling beautiful, and that is something I believe every person deserves.
I started shooting boudoir sessions because I saw the beauty in everyone even when they did not see it in themselves. I believed I could show any person how I saw them through my camera. Women have told me that they feel they can’t look “that beautiful” because they have too many grey hairs, weigh too much, or have too many stretch marks. Seeing their reactions to their pictures changed me as well as them. You are beautiful, don’t let anyone tell you differently.
The Transformation
The transformation in my studio is the best part of the whole experience for me. When a woman arrives in my studio, many times she is nervous. Once they sit in the chair to get their hair and makeup done, the transformation begins. Your nervousness begins to disappear.
During the photo shoot I may show the client the back of the camera after the first series and I usually hear “OH MY, that’s me? I look amazing!” As we continue the session, the laughter and smiles start to come out. She feels amazing and beautiful and I can tell that it’s starting to click with them.
By the time we finish the session , we’re friends. We’ve just shared an experience that they will always remember. We’ve laughed and shared stories about our lives
Once I show them their pictures on the projector screen, their jaws drop. They see themselves like they never have before. This is one of the amazing thing about boudoir photography. I get a chance to show them how I see them, how their partner sees them. When they walk out that door, their smiling so big and they can’t wait to tell all their friends about what they just did.
Yes! That’s me at my boudoir shoot!
I am in my late 40’s. I weigh more now than I ever have in my life. I have stretch marks that allowed my body to grow my beautiful babies!
I started to think about the photos I was in, and how my daughter would be able to look back and remember me. Would I want her to remember me being ashamed of my body and hiding from the camera? No way! Would I want her to not have any photos of me at all? Absolutely not!
For me, boudoir photography is a celebration of your body and who your soul. I take pride in being able to help show women how to celebrate their bodies, their battles and their victories they’ve been through. Let me show you your sparkle. Let me help remind you how to love and be proud yourself.
