Whenever I tell people that I am a Boudoir Photographer, a lot of them often respond with that they can't EVER imagine themselves doing a Boudoir Shoot. Believe me. I get it. Most of us carry around so many insecurities about ourselves. So when you mix those insecurities together with a camera and stripping down to the bare minimum, I can understand why some people would feel that way. But what people don't see is how incredible and empowering a Boudoir Shoot can be.
So when you think about booking a Boudoir session with me and you tell yourself 100 reasons why you shouldn’t, I am here to give you the reasons why you NEED to.
1. You deserve to be pampered
We spend so much time focused on so many other things in our life that we often forget to take care of ourselves. By dedicating space and time to do a Boudoir Shoot you are creating a space for you!
2. It’s a way to celebrate you
A lot of women book a Boudoir Shoot because they want to celebrate themselves. Whether it be to celebrate a milestone or for no reason at all, a Boudoir Photoshoot is the most personal, intimate and empowering gift you can give yourself.
3. It's empowering
I can guarantee you that you will leave your session feeling more empowered and confident than how you felt when you arrived. When you receive your final images back your confidence will double. In your images, you will see your strength, your beauty and how resilient and special you are. Being able to feel and see all of those things is what will keep empowering you to love yourself unconditionally.
4. You’re documenting your body
When you choose to do a Boudoir Session for the first time, you are documenting the way your body looks when you decided to take the beginning steps to loving it unconditionally. You will have those images forever as a reminder of how fierce you felt when they were taken. They will remind you of how much you have grown and how far you have come. Some people choose to do regular Boudoir Sessions to document different stages of their life or Self Love Journey, but for others, this is a once in a lifetime investment. Give yourself this gift.
5. It’s a step to loving yourself more
Your body loves you every day and its time to love it back. You will leave your session feeling empowered, with a new love and appreciation for your body. And more importantly, those photos will be there to remind yourself that you are beautiful and you deserve nothing more than to love yourself unconditionally.
6. Help yourself to heal
To give yourself the space to love yourself is also giving you the space to heal. You’ve survived whatever struggles and trauma life has given you and you’re a stronger person because of it. Treating yourself to such an empowering experience, and having photos to remind yourself that you are a strong and beautiful woman, is something that no one can ever take from you.
7. You are enough
You are perfect just the way you are and you deserve this. Leaf & Lace is a safe space for all bodies and I lovingly welcome you as you are!
