Of all the different types of photography I offer, from family portraits to branding photograph, boudoir photography is easily the most misunderstood one. So many women think that they don’t have the confidence for it or that they should wait until they’ve sculpted their ideal body, or, especially heartbreaking, so many moms think that it’s something they should have done when they were younger, but they missed their chance.

As both a mom and a photographer who has watched so many of my clients come to life in the course of a boudoir photo shoot, I can tell you that moms are actually perfect for these sessions! Here’s why.

You thought about boudoir photography for a while, about whether it might be a fun and uplifting experience for you, and one day you decided you’re worth investing in and you booked your session. But after a while, self-doubt started to creep back in, and you got nervous. Am I really going to be comfortable in front of the camera? Do I actually want to feel that bare and exposed?

So many of my clients go through this before their boudoir photo shoot, and I’m here to assure you that it’s completely natural! Boudoir photography is a big step outside the comfort zone for most women, and in fact, that’s kind of the point - being brave and embracing who you are to rediscover your confidence.
