WHY BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY?

I get asked this often and it is challenging to put it into words all the reasons, but here is my best attempt. (I’m better at face to face conversations so ask me next time we meet to tell you more about why I love boudoir photography.)

Boudoir photography is more than just pretty pictures. It is about what is happening on the inside (before and after) and the woman’s motivation to do the session. It is about self-acceptance, going out of your comfort zone and that feeling of accomplishment from doing something that was a bit (or maybe a lot) scary.

Creating boudoir portraits is also about the art of the human form. I believe we have all been uniquely made and this is one way to celebrate the bodies and spirit we were given. We spend most of our days covered up and hiding our bodies, boudoir photos give us an opportunity to free ourselves and be vulnerable in a place that is safe. We get the chance to see our bodies in a way that we never have before, a chance to see how our partners, spouses and loved ones see our beauty.

I believe that I can show any woman who comes before me, their beauty. It is definitely a challenge, not because I don’t believe it but because so many of use have deep rooted beliefs in the things that we believe are “wrong” with our bodies. I believe that every woman deserves to be seen. We carry beliefs in our heads that we are too tall, too short, too skinny, too much weight, too many curves, not enough curves… we never seem to be satisfied with our bodies as they are today.

I am on a mission to change that and I truly believe the tide is changing and women are starting to love on themselves more and more. I want you to live our mission statement of “you deserve to be seen” to its fullest capacity and it starts with one woman at time in front of my camera.
