If you’ve been waiting for a “reason” to book a boudoir session, well, there’s no more excuses! Here are my top 15 reasons why you should stop waiting and go ahead and book your boudoir session today.

Reason #15: To Celebrate a Birthday Milestone

What better way to celebrate turning 40, 50, 70, 80, than a boudoir session? Of course our bodies can’t stay young forever, and watching them change over the years isn’t always easy. But you are beautiful no matter what, and sometimes you need to remind yourself of that fact with a little birthday treat!

Reason #14: To Show Off Your New Boob Job/New Tattoos

Let’s be real, boob jobs can be such a blessing in more ways than one, and you deserve to show off those new ta-tas with a boudoir session! Or perhaps you’ve gotten some fresh ink you are just in LOVE with? BOUDOIR SESSION, BABE!

Reason #13: You Want to Buy Some New Lingerie

Okay, I know, you’re eyeing that $90 piece of lingerie from Blue Bella but can’t really justify the price tag if you’re just going to wear it once. But what if that hot little number was FOREVER documented in photos, and makes you feel like a queen? No better excuse to buy some new lingerie than if you need some fresh, fun new outfits for a photo session!

Reason #12: For Your Significant Other

“Send nudes’“ they said. And oh, how you can deliver! Show your significant other how much you love and care for them by surprising them with a boudoir session! It could be for an anniversary, a birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s day, or just because! Either way, the look on your honey’s face when they open up their gift is going to be worth recording.

Reason #11: To Spice Up Your Sex Life

I’m preaching to the choir when I write down this reason. I work with so many women who book a boudoir session to bring some “sexy” back into their sex life! After toxic past relationships, or years and years of being happily married, it can be easy to slip into “safe” routines and patterns and let the sizzle and heat fade. Show you and your love how sexy and kinky you can really be with some fun props and implied poses!

Reason #10: You Want Art Featuring YOU in your home

I mean come on, who wouldn’t love to have a piece of art in their home that everyone admires, and it’s literally a picture of YOU? Whether it’s an artistic, anonymous nude, a detailed photo collage, or a beautiful and timeless portrait, you’ll always have that confidence booster to admire and look at whenever you need.

Reason #9: You Want To Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

Want to push yourself to be more daring, more vulnerable, and ultimately grow who you are as a person? Boudoir is the perfect way to throw caution to the wind and just do something new and exciting!

Reason #8: So Your Loved Ones Always Remember You

Maybe your sweetheart is deploying for an extended amount of time. Maybe you want your traveling husband to be able to take some sexy pictures of you wherever he goes. Maybe you just want to capture some raw and real photos of who you REALLY are, and let your loved ones always look at and cherish those intimate moments. Whatever it may be, a boudoir session allows for your loved ones to always remember every part of you that they loved dearly.

Reason #7: To Document Your Fitness Journey

Don’t be fooled, boudoir sessions are not just for those who have lost 200 pounds, opened up a gym, and now do body-building for a living! I have had so many clients who book their boudoir sessions at the start, middle, and end of their fitness journey. Whether you want to celebrate and love on the “before” you as you begin, or all the hours you spent sweating, lifting, and pushing yourself even when you wanted to quit at the end, you’ll have pictures to forever help you remember this journey of yours.

Reason #6: You’ve Overcome Hardships

Life isn’t easy, and some seasons are exponentially darker than others. I’ve had clients come to me after going through miscarriages, deep bouts of depression, cancer journeys, sexual abuse, toxic relationships, health issues, family deaths, hard break-ups and divorces, job lay-offs, mental breakdowns, and plenty of other hardships and battles that leave wounds that go beyond skin deep. And I’m telling you, nothing can help you celebrate the fact that you’ve gone through those hardships than a boudoir session. Not only do you deserve to show off your physical beauty and strength, but you deserve to show off your mental and emotional strength, too. What you as a human are capable of. To have photos you can look at for the rest of your life and think: “I went through the storm. It tried to take me, but I made it through and came out the other side.”

Reason #5: You’re Getting Married

Bride-to-Be’s, get your husband the ultimate gift before saying “I do” with a bridal boudoir session! Not only can you get him even more excited for the honeymoon (wink wink), but you can show him how much you love and appreciate him, and always remember this special time of your life and the anticipation you both felt before becoming husband and wife.

Reason #4: You’re In Need of a Confidence Boost

I hear SO many women say “when I get the confidence, I’m going to book a session.” But ladies, let me tell you: you should book a session if you NEED a little confidence! It can be scary to step outside your comfort zone, but it is so worth it when you finally see yourself through someone else’s eyes and realize how beautiful and amazing you really are. Anytime those doubts or insecurities try to creep in again, all you have to do is pull out a few photos from your session, and BAM! The evidence doesn’t lie: You are one sexy and confident woman.

Reason #3: You Want to Celebrate and Embrace Your Mom Bod

From a gorgeous baby bump to the incredible stripes and scars that are left long after: Celebrate and embrace that mom body in all its’ stages with a boudoir shoot. Yes, your body is changing or has changed, but it just shows that it carried life inside of it! You carried a baby inside of you (And likely many more than just one), and that is something to be proud of and love wholeheartedly.

Reason #2: You Don’t Feel Sexy Anymore

I think I fall into this category more than any others half the time. Heck, I should probably get a boudoir session done every few months because of this reason! But really, it’s so important to feel sexy and empowered when it comes to your sexuality, and it’s one thing that I think many women don’t acknowledge or know what to do when they lose it. Don’t feel sexy anymore? Libido all but gone? Nothing you wear makes you feel like “DAMNNNN GIRL, look at that body!”? Well, it’s time to change that with a little help from yours truly! Together, we’ll make you see and FEEL that sexiness that is inside of you. It may take a little coaxing, but I promise it’s there.

Reason #1: For Yourself

Last but DEFINITELY not least, the number one reason why you should book a boudoir session today is for yourself. Because you work hard. Because you think about everyone before you think about yourself. Because you are constantly pouring out but never pouring back into yourself. Because you want to pamper yourself. Because you want an entire day where you don’t have to worry about anyone but you. Because you are ready to feel like the BA woman you are. Because your worth isn’t defined by anyone but YOU. Because you deserve it, and there doesn’t have to be any other reason to book a boudoir session other than the mere fact that YOU WANT TO.

Have I convinced you yet? Are you ready to go ahead and take the leap? There really isn’t any reason not to do! I promise you’ll love every moment of your session and you’ll never forget the experience. In fact, you may even come back two or three times (Trust me, it’s addicting!) Hope to see you soon, babe!

XOXO
