I get asked all the time why Boudoir? Why specialize in this specific genre? The answer is simple: confidence.
As women, we are constantly barraged with images in the media of beautiful women with perfect bodies, and we’re constantly made to feel like less. We are told we should be a certain size, look a certain way, act a certain way. Our sexuality is something used to sell products, instead of a part of our souls. If we embrace it we’re slutty, if we deny it, we’re prudish. It’s a double edged sword.
I believe our sexuality is a very important part of who we are. It’s what makes us women. Our curvy bodies, our soft skin, our shapely thighs. Many of us, myself included, have struggled for much of our lives to be comfortable in our skin. Too believe we are beautiful and sexy no matter the curve of our waistline. I show women just how amazing and beautiful they really are. Boudoir gives us all a chance to embrace an often denied persona, to be and feel like the woman we’ve always wished we could. It allows us to accept the everyday goddess within. To see her in all her glory, accept and love her.
Everyone is nervous when they first walk into my studio, but when they walk out they all say the same thing, “I’ve never felt so great about myself”. And this is before they’ve seen the first image. You don’t have to have the perfect body, you just have to be you. To allow yourself to embrace who you are, and what is beautiful and sexy about you. There is a huge confidence boost that comes out of the Boudoir session, that many women don’t expect. They leave my studio feeling empowered by their bodies, many for the first time in their lives. I can’t think of anything more rewarding.
Boudoir is about taking control of your sexuality, embracing that it’s part of who you are, and making it your own. And most of all, it’s about showing yourself that you are a beautiful, vibrant, sexy woman.
