5 reasons for a boudoir shoot

Boudoir Season: Love, romance and intimacy.

There’s only a few weeks till Valentine’s Day.  Whether you’re happily in a relationship, blissfully single or enjoying that in-between space, a beauty session is the perfect way to celebrate YOU.  Unlock the inner goddess that’s been waiting to shine…

We’re here to remind you who actually deserves all your love and attention this season.  Our Beauty Sessions include a luxury photoshoot  in our Midtown Manhattan NYC studio and complimentary makeup to accentuate your best features.  Be sure to have some evening plans ready, because you’re going to leave your shoot looking and feeling like a QUEEN.

Here are 5 amazing reasons why our clients have indulged in the the boudoir experience for themselves:

1. Boudoir Photography boosts your inner confidence

We’ve come a long way, but the fact remains that it’s often difficult to fully embrace our power as women. We’re constantly being told how we ought to look, behave, dress, feel, and express ourselves…  All of these societal pressures can create internal conflict and prevent women from embracing their authentic selves.   The inherent vulnerability of a boudoir shoot unleashes something deep inside, and helps you reconnect with important parts of themselves that have been forgotten for too long.

2. Boudoir Photography enhances your engagement, wedding, or anniversary.

Love is the most powerful emotion.  Boudoir photography is the perfect way to celebrate your beautiful, sensual self in honor of the new chapter you’re entering with the love of your life.  Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, wedding or anniversary, boudoir portraits make the perfect gift for your loved one… and for yourself!

3. A Beauty Photoshoot is the perfect way to celebrate a milestone.

There are so many wonderful occasions worth celebrating.  A special birthday, an achievement that’d taken a lot of hard work, or overcoming a particularly difficult challenge.  A boudoir photoshoot is the perfect way to commemorate this special time in your life as beautiful works of art.

4. Boudoir Photography helps in the healing process.  

Living through a traumatic event is deeply personal and usually accompanied by mixed emotions of shame, anger, fear and guilt.  It takes a lot of courage and hard work to relearn who you are and what’s most important to you.  When you’re ready to move forward, a boudoir shoot is a great spark.  As a complement to professional medical help, many of our clients have embraced the luxury of boudoir photography as part of their healing.

5. A Boudoir Photoshoot is the ultimate indulgence.

Do you really need a reason to do something you’ve always wanted to do?  Changing careers, traveling to new destinations, sky diving…  We believe that life is meant to be explored, enjoyed, and celebrated.  Give yourself the permission and encouragement to take the plunge.  We can’t wait to hear from you, and plan the most perfect boudoir experience!!

The biggest myths about boudoir photography

Some of the biggest lies we hear about boudoir photography…

You have to have a “perfect” body to do it. False! 

You don’t need to lose weight. Embracing your body and learning self-love is what we strive for. We won’t try to Photoshop every single thing you hate about yourself. Instead, we work around big ‘no-nos’ with flattering posing and lighting. You don’t need to change a single thing about yourself! This is a wonderful way to show you how gorgeous you truly are. 

They’re just raunchy photos. False!

It’s so much more than that. Of course, if you prefer, we can make that happen. Boudoir is an experience that teaches body empowerment and celebrating the skin you’re in. 

You can only do a boudoir shoot for your partner. False!

Absolutely not!  Even if you’re in a relationship, you don’t have to do boudoir as a gift to your partner. Do it for yourself! It’s all about self-worth and investing in YOU. A boudoir shoot will show you how beautiful you really are.

Beauty photography is a celebration of the female body.

A boudoir photoshoot allows you to show off your confidence and your curves while getting to see your body in a whole new light. If you’re like most women, you may feel a little nervous about the idea. It’s perfectly normal to get the jitters, but there’s nothing to worry about.

Any nervousness will quickly fade within the first couple of clicks of the camera.  At the beginning of your session, we’ll look over your styles and discuss your wishes.  We’ll also share our vision and ideas that would fit your preferred style.  We will make you feel comfortable, play up your favorite assets and flatter your unique body shape.

Boudoir photography is for women of all ages, shapes and sizes.

By the end of the session, you’ll be laughing and having a blast.  All women are beautiful in their own unique way, and it’s our goal to capture you in a way that makes you look drop dead gorgeous.  Boudoir sessions provide a liberating experience that will give you an unbelievable confidence boost.  So leave your inhibitions behind, and get ready for an incredible shoot!

Boudoir Portraits: The Most Incredible Gift

A boudoir portrait session is the best gift that you can give yourself.  There is no better time than the present to rediscover your inner goddess.  Our hope is that you’ll fully give yourself to the experience and tap into your unique source of sensuality – that’s where the magic lies, and it’s already within you.  It’s time to make yourself a priority.  You deserve to experience the empowering world of intimate boudoir photography. 

Every Woman Deserves to be Pampered

Ultimately, the best reason to experience a boudoir session is for yourself! When’s the last time you took the time to take a moment for you? As women, wives, mothers, nurturers, and friends, we often spend our days taking care of others. Boudoir offers a safe space set aside just for you to be loved, empowered, and pampered. Although everyone gets nervous when they show up to their session, we guarantee those fears will disappear when you have your makeup done, drink champagne, blast Beyonce, and pretend to be a cover model for the afternoon.

Feeling confident in your own skin can seem impossible.  Showcasing your beauty and feeling like a rockstar is something that we don’t set aside time for in our day-to-day lives, so let’s prioritize feeling great about YOU!

It takes courage to be unapologetically yourself, and to be vulnerable in front of the camera. Letting down your guard and embracing your body will make you feel empowered.  By looking and feeling gorgeous during your boudoir photoshoot, you’ll leave with your head held high and feeling confident to take on the rest of your life.  Once you view the photos, you’ll genuinely wonder, “Why did I wait so long to do this?!”

Every woman has talked themselves out of taking a risk, especially when the risk can make oneself incredibly vulnerable. Our insecurities often speak louder than the truth about ourselves.  The truth is that our self-image is unique and beautiful despite our insecurities. We are our own worst critics.  No one else notices our flaws as much as we do.  Rest assured that we use the most flattering angles, poses and lighting to ensure you look your best. Your portraits will highlight and celebrate the areas you once thought were negative qualities. This process will make you see yourself as the world does: breathtakingly unique. Seeing the portraits in all their glory will have you in awe of yourself.

Boudoir Enhances Relationships

When you love yourself, you love others deeper.  Boudoir photography is a path to self-discovery, self love, and so much more.  Boudoir photography shows women the true essence of themselves, not what others want them to be or think they should be. We want to capture your authentic self.  Think of all you have done and will do. This is a celebration of you, your strength, your beauty, and your femininity in every form. When you leave your session, you’ll leave with the knowledge of your own personal power.

Every woman who walks into our boudoir studio is a goddess, and we’ll make sure you know it!  We offer a luxury boudoir experience, so you’ll be exuding confidence during and after your experience.

Enjoy a Life-Changing Experience

We all experience changes in life, some are exciting and welcomed while others are scary and uncertain. We believe taking time for yourself in times of transition is crucial. Having a reason to spoil yourself will alleviate self doubts. There are tons of reasons to invest in you. In preparation for your boudoir photo shoot, you can spoil yourself by getting that facial your skin has been craving for months, and buy yourself some new outfits or lingerie for the occasion. If you’re in a time of transition, relationally, physically, emotionally, or in any other way, boudoir is a beautiful way to center yourself and restore confidence. These positive feelings will overflow into the other areas of your life.

beauty portraits are for all women!

Beauty photography is more than just sensual and inspiring photos of yourself. It’s a life-changing experience that teaches you to love the skin you’re in and embrace it. Boudoir photos are exciting! You get to dress up (dress down), get your hair and makeup done, wear the sexiest clothes, and rock out your session. It’s the moment you rediscover how lovely you are, inside and out. If you’re tired of hiding in the shadows and not living life to the fullest, this could be your first step towards breaking out of that. It’s time to manifest your sexy side!
