If you follow any photographers during the winter months that lead to Valentines Day, you’ve probably seen some advertising for different types of boudoir sessions, and have maybe even considered doing your own. Whether you are considering booking, or are just wondering why someone might book a session like this, here are 9 reasons why you might consider booking a Boudoir Session:

1. To Feel Empowered
   
   Boudoir photography has the potential to make you feel incredibly empowered, and maybe even see yourself in a new light. I think that many of us struggle with seeing the beauty that we already are. We make excuses to not put ourselves in front of the camera, when we are so deserving of being photographed just as we are today. Use this session as a shameless act of self-love!

2. As A Gift

Valentine’s Day coming up? Maybe you’re getting married and want to create some spicy images for your fiancé to open up the night of your wedding date! Whether it’s a cheeky Valentines treat, a birthday present, or wedding gift, boudoir photography is always a thoughtful idea. You might even consider printing your images into a book or a frame so they have something physical to open.

3. Celebrate a Milestone

You can use your images as a way to celebrate something meaningful happening in your life, like a a birthday, promotion, break-up, having a baby, a wedding anniversary etc.

4. Self-Care

Boudoir Photography can be a great reason to pamper yourself! Booking hair & makeup services and shopping for outfits that make you feel gorgeous is such a fun way to give yourself a confidence boost. I love incorporating a shoot day into a full day of self-care. Treating yourself to a photo session pairs really well with a nice dinner out, and an end-of-day bubble bath.

5. Something fun to do with bestie

Nervous to come alone? Book a shoot with your best friend! I’ve personally booked a boudoir session with my bestie back to back when a photographer was holding mini sessions and we had SO much fun hyping each other up. We also got a few fun photos of both of us together and there’s just something empowering AF about dancing in your underwear with a bestie.

6. To Reclaim your Body & Sexuality

These sessions can be incredibly healing for those that are struggling with self-empowerment, and especially for those that are working on reclaiming their body and power. No matter what stage you are at with accepting your body, these photos can help you to see yourself in a beautiful new light with the help from an empowerment photographer. Because these sessions can bring up a lot of emotions and be quite vulnerable, I recommend researching your photographer! DM past clients and ask about their experiences, look up reviews, go through their portfolio to make sure you align with their style.

7. Date Idea

I absolutely love when clients book boudoir sessions with their partners. Doing a photo session with your partner can be such a fun date idea. Consider bringing in activities that you like to do together. Example: if you cook together, maybe you’ll do an indoor session in your kitchen while you make something.

8. You’ve never worn lingerie

If you’ve never worn lingerie before, booking a photo session can be an amazing reason to! It’s so much fun to try different styles of lingerie on and to find pieces that make you feel gorgeous. If lingerie isn’t your jam however, remember that there are so many different options for wardrobe. You could even go with a baggy t-shirt and boy shorts! I also offer my clients a style guide to give them ideas for their sessions.

9. Wall Art

Hanging up images of yourself that make you feel empowered can serve as a daily reminder that you are a bad ass, gorgeous human, deserving of being pampered and remembered.

And lastly, remember that you don’t need a reason to treat yourself to a photo session. You are deserving of experiences that make you feel good. You are deserving of being remembered. You are deserving of celebrating you!
