Why You Deserve a Boudoir Experience.
When we get nervous, we make excuses. We make excuses not to love ourselves or take care of ourselves. Sometimes life is just busy, things are too crazy at work, or we’re always having to drive someone SOMEWHERE. Sometimes it’s just more important to spend time with our spouse. We also use excuses like “I really want to lose 15 lbs first…” or “I just don’t have the money right now!”. I wanted to write this to show you all that no matter what the excuse, you CAN do it! Let me show you that no matter the excuse, you are worthy of self-love!
“I don’t have enough time for myself.”
It’s also important to remember that if you aren’t taking care of yourself mentally, you’re not going to be able to handle taking care of everyone else, which makes sense but is actually much harder when said than done! Sometimes I’m the WORST at making sure I’m giving myself mental health breaks and that’s why I think it’s so important to share this with you all. I make the same excuses as above and sometimes I need someone to look me in the face and say, “SLOW DOWN, give yourself a break, just breathe for a minute!”.
At a boudoir shoot, you’re able to breathe and love on yourself for a few hours. Think of all the energy you’ll save on a daily basis when you stop comparing yourself to others, or stop worrying about what other people will think of how you look. You get to see where your beauty really comes from and this lifts such a huge mental weight.
You need to take time for yourself. Why not spend it having an amazing time and getting glammed up for once?
“I’m not where I want to be weight-wise.” OR “I don’t fit the media’s idea of a good enough size.”
Did you know that the body type portrayed in advertising as the ideal is possessed naturally by only 5% of American women? ONLY FIVE PERCENT.
I will say this over and over again (and sorry, not sorry if you’ve heard me say it before), but WHY do you have to be a certain size to love and celebrate yourself? WHY do you have to fit a stranger’s messed up idea of a perfect body to love your own? WHY are you comparing your size to everyone else? No 2 women are the same!
I think it’s amazing to have goals and to want to be healthy, but does that mean you have to hate your body to do those things? Absolutely NOT! You should love yourself every step of the way. Be proud of where you are right now so that you can be proud of where you’re going. Have a boudoir session to celebrate where you are now, and another when you meet your goal to celebrate your success and how far you’ve come!
“I never feel sexy or sensual anymore so a boudoir session must not be for me.”
WRONG.
This excuse is actually the EXACT reason you SHOULD do a boudoir shoot.
Often times we lose touch with our femininity, sensuality or sexuality when life gets crazy because of health/kids/work-take your pick. Life happens. It’s absolutely normal and it’s okay! A great way to find that side of ourselves again is to have a boudoir shoot done to put that spark back in us. I can show you that you have that inside of you and it might even heat things up between you and your partner too!
Another thing to remember is that you don’t HAVE to wear super sexy or revealing clothing or lingerie. If you feel like this doesn’t align with your personality, there are so many other wardrobe ideas. I can help with alternative looks, there are ideas in our session preparation guide and keep an eye on this blog because we have TONS of inspo you can check out.
“A boudoir session is an investment and I don’t have the money right now.”
Yes, it IS an investment. It is also an investment in yourself. You are investing in your well-being and confidence! We do offer payment plans too! In order to book your session, there is a booking retainer, and after that, we can set up your payment plan so that it might be easier to book a shoot! If you have any questions about our payment plans, let us know during your complimentary phone consultation!
