1. You deserve to be pampered

When was the last time you sat back and had your hair and makeup professionally done? You know that feeling when you get your hair done for the first time in awhile. Everything just seems better. You feel better, you feel happier, you just feel more YOU. Now, imagine this. You walk into my studio – your favourite music is playing, my make up artist is waiting to pamper you for an hour with  your favourite drinks on hand, and then you get to spend the next couple of hours or so playing dress up with your new lingerie! Can you imagine anything better? As women, we don’t pamper ourselves enough. You really deserve this.

 

2. A Boudoir experience teaches you to be comfortable in your own skin

As women, we are our own worst critics. When we see flaws and imperfections, others see beauty.  It is my job to help you see how beautiful and amazing you are. Every single woman I have photographed has walked away feeling more confident.

Once you’re all glammed up – gorgeous hair and makeup, beautiful lingerie, and killer heels – you’ll look AND feel amazing. This feeling is evident in every single one of your images. Consequently you’ll be reminded of this newfound confidence every time you think back to your shoot, look at your album, or look up at the prints on your wall. I promise.

3. It’s a great excuse to buy new lingerie

When was the last time you bought or even WORE lingerie? For many of us, it’s been awhile. This is the perfect time to splurge on yourself. Pick out some sultry pieces that you feel amazing in. You could even use this as an opportunity to try something that isn’t really your style.

You’d be surprised how much you love pieces that you didn’t think were really “you”. Don’t feel like you have to spend a fortune either. There are many places where you purchase amazing lingerie at a reasonable price (Think ebay,  Amazon, etc.). The best part? Every time you put that outfit back on after your shoot, you’ll be reminded how sassy you really are.

4. A Boudoir experience is so much FUN!

For many women, the days leading up to their shoot can be nerve wracking. I get it – I’d be more worried if you WEREN’T nervous! You’re doing something that you’ve never done before and you aren’t 100% sure what to expect. I promise you, once we start shooting, your nerves will calm immediately. Most women that I photograph definitely describe the experience as a fun and memorable one! You will giggle hysterically with us – it’s just the best girly experience there is! It’s not every day that you get to be treated like a celebrity – take advantage of it!

 

5. It pushes you out of your comfort zone

We all have our comfort zone. Sometimes it’s our role as “Mum” or “Wife”. For others it’s our roles in our careers. For most of us, it’s not “Model”. No one ever walks into my studio knowing exactly what to do – that’s my job! I will model each and every pose prior to having you do it. I will tell you the angle to tilt your head, where to point your toes, how to part your lips. This is a safe place to let loose and be sexy – a side of you that typically gets buried beneath all of the other roles we take on as women.

 

6. Bonus: A Boudoir Experience  makes a GREAT gift!

I can’t think of a better gift to give your partner than the gift of YOU. Does your significant other really need another watch, cufflinks, or bottle of whisky? These are gifts that ANYONE can buy. Imagine the look on your partners face when they open an album full of sultry  photos of you. There is nothing like it, I assure you. Most of my clients are speechless when they see their photos for the first time. “Is that really me?!?” is a common reaction. They usually cry. 

Many clients order wall art to hang in their bedrooms  to remember that feeling every time they look at it. So, while many think boudoir photography is a gift for a significant other, it often ends up being a gift for YOU as well. Win – win 🙂
