Top 5 Reasons Women Book Boudoir Experiences-And Non of Them Are What You Think

There’s an age-old question that philosophers and common folk alike have struggled with since the dawn of time: Why?

Why are we here? Why does evil exist? Why does a pack of hot dogs come in 10 but hot dog buns come in 8?

People who don’t understand boudoir, often ask why women would want to do this. Their brains come up with all kinds of wrong answers.

“They want to look sexy for their partner.” Yeah, sometimes, but most of the time that’s only a cursory reason.

“They want thirst traps to post on the internet.” Not usually. But even if they did, so what?

“They’re already a confident person and just love the camera.” More often than not, this is far from the truth. Many of my clients are self conscious at the start of their shoot.

Each person who steps through my studio doors for their luxury boudoir experience has their own reason for pursuing boudoir. They don’t have to tell me why, but they often do. These are some of the typical motivations my clients have:

  1. They want to FEEL beautiful, not just look it. Celebrating yourself ignites a wonderful feeling inside that shines through on the outside. Feeling beautiful is completely different than just looking beautiful.

  2. They want to commit a radical act of self-love. There are too many things in this world that are trying to tear people down. Doing something that is just for yourself and is meant to undo that tearing can be seen as a radical act. Fight the power, book a boudoir experience.

  3. They want to capture a version of themselves that they don’t want to forget. In 20, 30, 40 years or so, they want to be able to look back and see themselves as they once were. Time steals memories, a boudoir album will hold them forever.

  4. They want to prove they’re brave enough. Just because something scares you, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

  5. They want to reclaim their body after trauma. When something bad happens that’s beyond your control, it can cause you to feel like a stranger in your own body. Doing something like this can take your power back.

The best thing about all of this: if you don’t get why someone would do this, that’s okay. You don’t have to understand. Just don’t be a dick about it. (Which is actually just a great general rule for life, honestly)

Whatever your reason is for wanting to book your boudoir experience, it’s valid and you should give in to that desire! Bring your sexy ass to Atlanta and let’s do this!

Is a Luxury Boudoir Experience Right for You? 7 Signs You're Ready!

Wanting to do something brave doesn't always just…happen. Sometimes it takes a little back and forth. Some debate between the experts (those experts being you and yourself, of course).

You find something you want to do that excites you, but also scares you a little bit. For some people, that scary but exciting thing is riding rollercoasters. For some, it’s traveling to places unknown.

And for others still, it’s dressing down in front of a near-stranger while being photographed.

There are signs that you’re ready to take that step and book your luxury boudoir experience. And, you’re probably more ready than you thought!

Sign #1: You can’t stop thinking about it. You keep imagining what you’d look like and how you’d feel. You repeatedly return to the website of the photographer you like just to keep consuming information about it.

Sign #2: You’ve found a boudoir photographer that feels like an old friend, but whose work you also really love. You could see yourself in their studio, but also getting brunch with them.

Sign #3: Your social media feeds start showing you video tips about what to wear, how to pose, and how to prepare. Social media apps basically follow you around on the internet. They see what you’re interested in and show you more of that. If you’re looking at boudoir photography often, your social media will know.

Sign #4: You realize you need a day of pampering. Maybe life has been weighing you down a little bit. Maybe you want to celebrate a win. Either way, a day of pampering is just what the doctor prescribed!

Sign #5: You talk about it so much to your friends that they’re starting to get annoyed. How many times have you talked to them about this? They probably aren’t really annoyed, but I bet they want you to take the leap already!

Sign #6: You feel like your photographer has given you a wealth of information to help you feel prepared. Preparation is a key ingredient to a successful boudoir experience. If your photographer doesn’t make you feel prepared, you might not have found the right one.

Sign #7: You don’t just want that confidence boost-you CRAVE it. You’re practically feral thinking about your boudoir shoot. It’s time to give in to that primal urge, babe.
