Why Boudoir?

 I remember the first time I even found out what Boudoir was. I wasn’t a photographer yet, but I wanted to do one soooo bad. So I did.

We didn’t call it Boudoir though, it was just me and my photographer friend taking pictures of me in lingerie. I was 18 hahaha. I remember feeling so excited and empowered and creative and just… ah!!! You know? Like I wanted to feel that way all the time. And when I got my pictures back, I couldn’t stop posting them. They were beautiful. They were me. I felt like art.

And that’s all any of us are: we’re walking pieces of art.

As I got more into my photography business, I strayed faaaaar away from Boudoir. The clients I most often got did not approve of Boudoir, and did not want their family photos anywhere near it. I didn’t let myself think about it.

I had a lot of friends ask me to do Boudoir sessions for them because they thought I “would have the eye” and I either declined, or accepted and didn’t post the pictures. And it made me. So. Sad. I just wanted to post something I was really proud of. And empowering women, showing them they’re still beautiful, showing them what other people see when they look at them, that they’re not just moms and wives and employees, that they are so much more - that’s what I was proud of.

Somewhere along the way I noticed myself following more and more photographers who posted what they were proud of: whether it be their Boudoir shoots, their steamy couple shoots, whatever it was that wasn’t the straight and narrow, and I was so jealous. I literally felt myself start to crumble inside. I started to hate my art. And I realized that it stopped being mine the second I decided to do what I thought my clients would want instead of doing what I wanted.

A coworker asked me some time after this:

“Why don’t you do Boudoir? You’d be so good at it.”

To which I said, “I’ve done some shoots, I just wouldn’t even know where to start at creating a page.”

And she said, “You just do it.”

We created a game plan for me. I spent every day for two months, money that I didn’t know would be worth it, to create this part of my business. Because this is something I had to do. I had to let myself do the shoots that I’m proud of and the ones that bring out my creativity, regardless of what anyone else would think.

So this is what Boudoir is to me: it’s making art, it’s showing women that they are art. It’s allowing my creativity to come to life in a way that makes other people melt at themselves. It’s that smile they get when you show them a sneak peak during the session and they say, “that’s me??? How’d you do that?!!”, when five minutes before they were doing a lot of talking down on themselves saying “Oh I don’t know, I’m just not sexy. I don’t know how to pose. I’m awkward.” It’s when they get the pictures back and they tell me how obsessed they are. How they can’t stop looking at them. That I have helped remind them that they are a beautiful badass woman who should be looked at.

Boudoir isn’t about being naked. It’s bringing back your power. And I’m here to help you do that.
