Why I Shoot Boudoir Photography: My “Why” for Shooting Boudoir

Why Boudoir Photography?

What we do here at Le Boudoir Studio is so much more than just photography—it’s a powerful experience and celebration of confidence, self-love, and empowerment. For many of our clients, boudoir is a journey to rediscovering their beauty, learning to embrace what makes them unique, and finding their power in ways they never thought possible.

I honestly never thought I would be doing this for a living, but an amazing opportunity came my way when I was asked to take over the business. I saw first hand when I was assisting in shoots just how transformative this experience is, and the way it changed how women perceived themselves. Soon after, I would start booking my own boudoir shoots, and I’m here to tell you they completely changed my life! If this could have a positive and lasting impression on ME, I wanted every woman to have this feeling, too.

If you sat down with me and asked why I do this, I’d tell you: I want to show women they can become the person they’ve always wanted to be. I spent so many years hating the way I looked, feeling like I wasn’t worth certain experiences or relationships, and holding myself back from living the life I wanted. I don’t want anyone else to waste their time and energy living like that.

At Le Boudoir Studio, I want to show women their potential and give them the tools to start living a more confident and fulfilled life. Every session is about celebrating you—the real, radiant, and powerful you that has been there all along.

The Transformation

The transformation we witness during a boudoir session is the most rewarding part of what we do. When a woman steps into our studio, she might feel nervous or uncertain. But by the end of her session, there’s a shift—a moment when she sees herself in a way she never has before. It’s pure magic.

One client shared:
“I have never felt like such a confident queen in my whole life! I am absolutely stunned by how the pictures came out! It’s a whole side of me I didn’t know I had, and Miranda is so incredibly talented in helping to bring that out and capture those moments.”

Moments like this are why I do what I do. It’s not just about creating beautiful images; it’s about helping women see themselves in a new light. Can you image having more confidence, more self-love, and increased self-worth? Boudoir can be a step in your journey to achieving all of this and more.

A Little Piece of My Story

For those of you who know me, you know this work comes from a deeply personal place. Growing up, I spent a long time battling feelings of insecurity and self-doubt. Learning to embrace my own beauty, celebrate my facial differences, and step into a more confident version of me was a journey that changed my life. I spent so many years hating the way I looked and feeling like I wasn’t worth certain experiences or relationships and I held myself back from living the life I wanted. Boudoir helped me see what other people saw. I literally saw myself in a new way, and now I look back on those photos even years later and they serve as a constant reminder of just how fierce and bold I am!

Boudoir is personal to me, just as it’s personal to you. And I want every woman who steps into our studio to feel that connection—to feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Le Boudoir Studio is a space where women can step into their power and truly embrace their femininity without judgement.

Yup! That’s me at my boudoir shoot!

I was terrified of being in front of the camera growing up. I would either hide my face, or purposely stay out of group shots. I was so ashamed of my cleft lip scars and the changes it made to my face, and now I have no photos of myself to look back on for a long period in my life, which I now regret. Playing dress up with hair, makeup, and fun outfits helped me come out of my shell later in life, and allowed me to put on an “armor” of sorts to face the world in style. Finding Pin Up also helped me discover a way to celebrate my idea of beauty, and its a way of dressing that helps me feel most like myself. (I always get extra excited when someone wants to do a Pin Up Boudoir session!)

Once I had actual professional photos of me taken, it totally changed the way I looked at myself. Now, I do photoshoots all the time! Not for anyone or anything in particular, just because I love the way it makes me feel. Life is just too short to spend it at war with yourself.
