I don’t have anyone to give the pictures…
How about yourself?
Boudoir photos aren’t really about somebody else. Boudoir photos are all about you. It’s about seeing yourself in a new light. Letting go of insecurities. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable and renewing your confidence. That’s about you. Not your boyfriend. Not your fiancé. Not your husband. YOU.
Don’t get me wrong—it can be a bonus if you have someone else significant to share your photos with. But it’s just that, a bonus. At the end of the day, the entire boudoir experience is about you, and you are worth it. If anyone deserves to have hot, sexy pictures of you, it’s you!
So, please don’t, just don’t. I’ve heard all the excuses, but this one is my least favorite. Do this for yourself. I could go on and on with reasoning, but I think I am the best example. I’ll be turning 30 soon and I’m celebrating with a boudoir session. It’s the best way in the world I can think of to celebrate myself. Trust me I’m at the peak of all the excuses. I’m single. I’m turning 30 (which a lot of people seem to think is the end of the world). I’ve gained a little weight in the past year and no matter how many miles I run I can’t seem to shed the pounds. I don’t care. I’m giving myself this gift, no matter what. I am worth it. I am enough of a reason, and dammit I’m doing this for myself. So if I can do this, so can you.
