5 Ways Women Talk Themselves Out of Boudoir Photos

People these days have many preconceived notions about what a boudoir photography session will have in store for them.  Some may think it is just not for them, while others are curious, but a little self-conscious. Here are the top 5 reasons people have had second thoughts about scheduling their boudoir session, and the reasons they are wrong. 

Boudoir sessions are for everyone!

“I have nothing to look forward to during the Coronavirus.”

If you are like most folks in the world wondering what to do with the extra time on your hands during the pandemic, you may feel as though you do not have much to look forward to. However, if you live in or around Washington, DC scheduling a boudoir session may be just the thing for you. Give yourself something to look forward to and make you feel special.

“I have to lose some weight first.”

Let’s face the fact that you are just saying that to talk yourself out of doing something you are scared to enjoy.  Many have been attempting to lose those “last few pounds” for years now. Don’t let your self-esteem hold you back.  If your boudoir photographer is good at what they do, they are going to make you feel like the most amazing and sexy person ever. Those pounds do not change who you are! Don’t let them dictate your fears. Plus, you can always schedule a second session with your photographer when you do lose those last few pounds.

“I am not as sexy as the people in boudoir photos I have seen.”

Again, that is your self-esteem holding you back. Your boudoir photographer is going to use light and shadows to accentuate different parts of you.  They are also going to snap photos when you are not even thinking about trying to look sexy.  Some of these may be the best photos from your session, Learn to embrace your imperfections, they are what make you you. Try taking a deep breath, open your mind and let your photographer lead the way.

“Boudoir photos seem like a complete waste of money.”

It is easy to say that when you feel uncomfortable.  However, do you pass the same judgement on yourself when you want to buy a stunning new outfit that fits perfectly? What about the last time you treated yourself to a delicious meal? Did you make yourself feel guilty? Think of your boudoir session as a luxury experience tailored to you. Most photographers are aware they are expensive to book and almost every one of them is willing to work out a payment plan to assist you with affording them.

“I don’t have anyone in my life who would want to see my boudoir photos.”

Who is better at celebrating you, than you? Maybe you have just gotten out a messy divorce and need a reason to celebrate your womanhood.  Scheduling a boudoir session will help to lift your spirits and make you feel amazing. As women age, they often forget about themselves.  Instead we spend time focusing on those around us or our careers.  These sessions are all about YOU! It is the most invaluable gift you can give yourself. Your photographer will spend time making sure you are the sole focus and you look and feel amazing!

Live in Washington, DC and Ready to Schedule a Boudoir Photo Shoot?

You may be able to come up with all kinds of reasons why you should not schedule a boudoir session. Just don’t ignore the best reason to follow through, you!  You are the most important person to you and your family.  If you don’t take time to take care of yourself then you are not going to be able to take care of anything else.  You are a beautiful human.  Let Black Lace Boudoir highlight your beauty.
