Hello, lovelies, and welcome back to the Le Boudoir Studio blog! As photographers, we love capturing beautiful moments on film that can be shared and cherished for a lifetime. But more importantly, we are passionate about boudoir photography, in particular, because it is something that women can do for themselves, even if they’re doing it as a gift for give a significant other. Boudoir photography not only captures and creates stunning images of women of all ages, colors, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds, this genre of photography gives women the opportunity to build self-confidence, enhance their sense of self-worth, and to ultimately feel amazing. Not only is boudoir photography a gift for him — it is an empowering gift for you, so you can feel good about yourself, and have fun throughout the entire experience. Today, we will explore some of the reasons why boudoir photography can be an especially empowering gift women, including Ms. S, can give themselves, even if they’re having a photoshoot done as a gift for their partner.

I’m Married, But This Is for Me

One of the main reasons Ms. S and other women come for a boudoir photo session is because they want to surprise their significant other with sexy yet elegant portrait photos of themselves. Oftentimes, this is how it starts, but the session actually becomes more about the woman. For one, deciding to have a session is a choice the woman makes for herself, which is empowering in itself. What’s more, boudoir photography is empowering, even if you are doing the photoshoot for someone else, because a session inspires self-confidence that enables a woman to feel good about herself, and end the session feeling absolutely amazing. It’s all about the experience and having fun throughout the shoot, while feeling gorgeous, confident, and proud of your beauty.   

A Reward for Yourself

As women, we are constantly concerned with our appearance, wanting to look as effortlessly beautiful as the models we see on the covers of magazines. In all honesty, we are all gorgeous, but sometimes, wanting to look and feel our best motivates us to do something to achieve this goal. Whether this means beginning a workout regimen and eating healthier meals, or changing your lifestyle to improve your health and appearance, these are attainable goals that deserve a reward. For instance, after losing weight, Ms. S thought a boudoir photoshoot was a wonderful way to reward herself for achieving her weight loss goals. A session not only gives you a chance to look beautiful but to feel good about yourself in your body, and having a tangible photograph that you can look at again and again and say to yourself, “I am gorgeous!”.

Breaks Down Barriers of Feeling Self-Conscious

Boudoir photography gives women the chance to break down the barriers built up by feeling self-conscious. A good example of this is feeling self-conscious about your weight, and then having a boudoir session done that showcases you and all things that make you beautiful. Along with having your hair and makeup done to enhance your natural beauty, you can choose outfits that you feel comfortable wearing, and will use props to help you not only feel comfortable during your session, but which will add character to your photos. The goal of each boudoir photoshoot is to highlight your inner and outer beauty, while having fun as you build your confidence in yourself. The end result is an absolutely stunning image that celebrates you, which can help you feel more confident in yourself and less self-conscious.
