Hey there gorgeous! 😘 If you’ve been thinking about boudoir photography but have some doubts or questions, you’re so not alone. A lot of my clients come in with the same concerns, so I’m here to clear up the biggest myths and show you just how empowering (and fun!) a boudoir shoot can be. Let’s dive in, shall we?


Myth #1:

Boudoir Photography is Only for Women Who Are Already Confident


The Truth:


Okay, let’s set the record straight! Boudoir photography is not just for women who are already radiating confidence like they’ve got it all figured out. I mean let's face it...who wakes up every day feeling 100% confident all the time? 🙄


Here’s the thing: Boudoir is all about building confidence, not having it all together from the get go. Trust me, some of my clients come in feeling super nervous (like seriously nervous, shaking knees and all), but by the end of their shoot, they walk out feeling like total superstars. 💫 A boudoir shoot is a chance to celebrate yourself, exactly as you are, and take home photos that remind you how amazing you truly are. No prior confidence required! Just you showing up and trusting your photographer to capture your inner power. You’ve got this, babe!


Myth #2:

You Have to Look Like a Model to Do Boudoir

The Truth:


Okay, if I had a dollar for every time someone said, “I’m not model material,”I’d be sipping a piña colada on a beach somewhere in the Bahamas. 😂 But here’s the thing: everyone is model material when it comes to boudoir photography. And I mean everyone. 🙌


Boudoir is not about fitting into a certain mold; it’s about empowering you to love yourself, exactly as you are. You’re already a total stunner, and your photographer is here to capture that magic. Whether you’re curvy, petite, tall, short, or rocking any other beautiful body shape, boudoir is about celebrating your unique beauty, and every inch of it deserves to be captured!


You don’t need to look like a Victoria’s Secret Angel or just step off a runway to feel like a goddess in front of the camera. What makes you “model material” is not how you fit into society’s narrow standards of beauty! It’s about how sexy and powerful you feel in your own skin. And trust me, by the time you're done with your boudoir shoot, you’ll be feeling like the most stunning version of yourself. 💖


When doing a boudoir photoshoot and choosing the right photographer, your photographer will be there to make you feel comfortable and guiding you through every step of the process. From the moment you step in front of my camera, They will make sure you feel confident, fierce, and ready to rock every pose like you were born to be in front of a magazine cover. 😘


Myth #3:

Boudoir Photography is Just About Taking Sexy Pictures

The Truth:


Boudoir is about you! It’s an experience that’s meant to celebrate your confidence, sensuality, and strength. It’s not just about looking hot in lingerie (although, trust me, you will!). It's about capturing the essence of who you are: fun, playful, fierce, romantic, or totally badass.


The most magical boudoir photos are the ones where you feel like yourself. Whether that means you’re channeling your inner goddess, your flirtatious side, or even a little bit of your inner superhero. 🦸‍♀️


Boudoir is about embracing your vulnerability and turning that into power. So yeah, you can totally be sultry and sexy if you want, but boudoir is about way more than just the “sexy” vibe. It's about capturing your soul. 😍


Myth #4:

You Need to Have a Special Occasion to Do a Boudoir Photoshoot

The Truth:


I can’t tell you how many times I hear, “I’m not getting married or anything, is it weird to do boudoir for just me?” Well, let me tell you something: you don’t need a special occasion to book a boudoir session! ✨


Boudoir is all about celebrating YOU. Whether you’re looking to commemorate a personal milestone (like a weight loss or a promotion) or you just want to do something that makes you feel fabulous (spoiler: boudoir does that!), you don’t need to wait for an excuse to invest in yourself.


I’ve had clients book shoots because they’re just like, “I need a confidence boost” or “I want to do something just for me.” And guess what? They walk out with the best experience ever! Feeling empowered, stunning, and like total rockstars.


Myth #5:

Boudoir Photography is Too Expensive and Not Worth the Investment



The Truth:


Okay, I hear you. Boudoir is an investment, but let me tell you, it’s 100% worth every penny. 💸 Why? Because boudoir is more than just pictures; it’s an experience that you’ll never forget.


When you book a boudoir session with your photographer, you’re not just paying for them to snap a few pics. You are investing in yourself, your confidence, and rediscovering your self-love. You get to walk away with a gallery of images that remind you of your inner power, beauty, and strength. And trust me, when you see those photos, you’ll realize just how much this was worth it.


You’re worth every penny, beautiful. 💖 Plus, imagine being able to look at those photos in 5, 10, or even 20 years and still feeling empowered. That’s priceless.
