Hey gorgeous! If you’ve been low-key stalking boudoir photos online (no judgment—I see you!) and daydreaming about doing your own session, but haven’t taken the plunge yet... you're not alone, I had a consultation earlier this afternoon with a woman who has wanted to book this for OVER FIVE YEARS and was only just now brave enough to ask for the consult. So many women want to experience the confidence boost that comes with a boudoir session, but something holds them back. I’m here to call out those fears and lovingly tell you why it’s time to kick them to the curb. 💖
1. "I Need to Lose Weight First."
Girl, NO. This is by far the most common thing I hear, and I’m here to tell you: your body is already beautiful and so worthy of being celebrated, just as it is right now. Boudoir isn’t about "fixing" anything. It’s about embracing your body, your confidence, and your journey. And trust me, I know how to pose and light you to highlight your BEST features. You will leave feeling like an absolute goddess, no matter your size.
2. "I’m Too Awkward/Shy/Not Photogenic."
Oh hey, welcome to the club—literally every woman thinks this before her shoot. But here's the thing: it’s my job to guide you through every single pose, expression, and moment. You don’t need to know what you’re doing. I’ve got you! Most of my clients start off nervous and leave feeling like they just stepped off the cover of a magazine. That awkward feeling? It disappears the moment we start having fun.
3. "I Don’t Have Anyone to Give the Photos To."
Guess what? YOU are reason enough. Boudoir doesn’t have to be for anyone else. In fact, some of the most powerful sessions I’ve done have been for women who simply wanted to celebrate themselves. You deserve to feel confident and gorgeous in your own skin. These photos are always first a love letter to yourself and a gift to others second.
4. "It’s Too Expensive."
Boudoir is absolutely an investment—but it’s an investment in you. And you are 100% worth it. Think about all the things we splurge on that are temporary—dinners, shoes, handbags. A boudoir session is something that stays with you forever. The confidence boost, the experience, and the images? Priceless.
5. "I’m Not Sexy Enough."
False. Every single woman has her own kind of sexy. You don’t have to be a lingerie model or a certain age to be sexy. It comes from within—and part of what we do in your session is tap into that. Whether you're flirty, fierce, sweet, or sultry, we’ll find the vibe that feels most like YOU.
It’s Time to Do This for YOU
If any of these reasons have been holding you back, I hope you feel seen. But I also hope you feel empowered to move past them. Your future self will thank you for it.
My studio in Glens Falls is your safe space to feel beautiful, bold, and celebrated. Whether you're doing this as a wedding gift, a confidence boost, or just because (the best reason, honestly), you are so ready for this.
