I always have a hard time when people tell me they don’t have a significant other in their life—and therefore deduce they don’t really have a reason to get boudoir photos taken. It’s a palm slap to my forehead type moment.
For anyone who is using that excuse here’s a blurb from M’s response to why she’s doing this shoot…
“I want to do it for myself, to feel confident and sexy.”
…Thank you M. That’s worth a standing ovation. There is not better reason in the world for having boudoir photos taken. Have boudoir photos taken for yourself. Is there really anyone who deserves it more? You are fabulous, and deserve to have beautiful, sexy pictures of yourself. A significant other is just a perk.
As women we often think of ourselves last. Boudoir photos may seem like something you can only justify when you give them as a gift. While there’s nothing wrong with that and many a boyfriend, husband, etc. has thanked me for my picture taking skills, why is it so hard to invest in something for ourselves? Something that builds our confidence. Makes us feel empowered. Allows us to feel pampered and just have a whole lot of fun. So my plea to you is this… book a boudoir shoot for yourself, because you deserve it. “You” are enough of a reason.
