Boudoir Photography and Self-Love: Why Every Womxn Should Try It

There’s nothing more empowering than feeling confident in your power and autonomy and beautiful in your own skin. That's why, as womxn, I believe every one of us deserves to experience the joy of boudoir photography at least once in our lives.

It’s a unique experience that helps us celebrate our bodies and beauty, to feel confident in ourselves, and to be a special step on our self-love journey.

In this blog post, I’ll be sharing more about boudoir photography and how it can help women embrace more self-love.

What is boudoir photography?

Boudoir photography is a type of photography focused on capturing intimate, sensual, and romantic imagery of people, especially womxn.

It involves taking photos of people in lingerie, nude, or even fully clothed, in a bedroom or romantic setting.

The goal is to create a setting where people can feel comfortable to express themselves, and to reveal their true beauty.

Why should women try boudoir photography?

Boudoir photography is more than just taking sexy photos. It’s an experience that can help you to connect with yourself, and appreciate your own beauty.

It’s a moment for you to spoil yourself and be pampered. It’s an opportunity to celebrate your femininity and uniqueness, and to gain confidence in your own skin.

It’s a way to say a big FU to society’s very limited patriarchal and white supremacist beauty standards, and embrace your own body and beauty. It’s also a perfect gift for yourself!

How to Prepare for a Boudoir Photo Shoot

The preparation process for a boudoir photo shoot can be a bit nerve wracking, but it’s also exciting! To make sure you’re ready to slay in front of the camera, it’s important to plan ahead.

Start by finding a photographer who fits your style AND provides lots of guidance. Consider doing a few simple things before the photo shoot that’ll help you feel good, such as getting a fresh haircut, manicure or pedicure, or whatever it is that helps you feel beautiful and good about yourself.

Preparing your outfit(s) in advance is also recommended, including lingerie, props, and accessories that make you feel your best.

What can women expect from a boudoir photo shoot?
