When was the last time you did something just for yourself?
Self-care and self-love are so intertwined, and here at Boudie City we are champions of both! So while our last post was focused on self-care, now we’re diving into self-love, which is often a huge result of the aforementioned! Self-love is about so much more than bubble baths and positive affirmations, and we believe that a boudoir photoshoot is the ultimate way to celebrate and honor yourself. It’s all about embracing who you are, cherishing your body just as it is, and seeing yourself in a whole new light. A boudoir session is so much more than sexy photos—it’s an empowering experience that will help you rediscover your beauty, power, and worth!
First and foremost, self-love is not just a buzzword. It’s a commitment to yourself, to value yourself, prioritize your needs, and embrace every part of who you are inside and out. This time it’s not about The Golden Rule (do unto others as you would unto yourself), it’s about showing yourself the same care and appreciation you give to others.
For so many women, self-care and self-love are just afterthoughts. All of the other people and responsibilities in your life take precedence and your needs always come last. But it’s not selfish or vain to take care of and love yourself. You are worthy of feeling confident, empowered, and appreciated, and that’s where a boudoir photoshoot comes in as the ultimate act of self-love.
How often do you invest in yourself—not in things, but in experiences that make you feel confident and valued? Booking a boudoir shoot is a great way of telling yourself, “I am so worth this. I deserve to feel beautiful and cherished. I deserve to celebrate myself.” In a world that constantly tells women to strive for “perfection” or look a certain way in order to be worthy of love and attention, prioritizing yourself with a photoshoot is a radical act of self-love. You deserve everything you desire right now, not when the time is “right” or you reach a certain weight or someone else gives you permission. You deserve to feel incredible in your own skin.
Good lighting is totally our thing here, but that’s not what we’re talking about. It’s time to change your perspective. We are all our own worst critics. How many times have you looked in the mirror to only see “flaws” (that no one else even notices)? Boudoir photography lets you see yourself that way everyone else does: gorgeous, powerful, and full of life. You and your body are resilient, and seeing yourself that way in your photos is a beautiful reminder that you are incredible.
Almost every client comes into their session nervous and uncertain of how they’ll look, but every single time their response is, “OMG—I can’t believe that’s me! I look AMAZING!” And yes, that IS you, and yes you look amazing. And that’s you every single day. It’s not the makeup or lighting or Photoshop, you’re just finally seeing the real you!
There’s this funny misconception that looking and feeling sexy has to be for someone else, and that a boudoir session is only something you do for your partner. And oh, no, no, that couldn’t be further from the truth! Boudoir is about owning your sensuality and confidence for yourself! Embrace every curve and be unapologetically yourself just because you can.
Our studio is a safe space where you can be your true, authentic self with no judgment or expectations, and we’ll help you celebrate and express yourself however you want! That means you wear only what makes you feel good, whether it’s lingerie or a stunning gown or jeans or nothing at all. This experience is all about you, so wear what makes you feel sexy, strong, and unstoppable! Confidence and sexiness aren’t confined by size, age, or some ideal of perfection; they’re dictated by how you feel, and you’re 100% in control of that. (Though we’ll definitely help!)
Your photoshoot is only half of the fun with us! Unfortunately, the experience only lasts a day, but you’ll have the memories and photos forever! Your legacy lives on in print, a never-ending confidence boost that is revitalized every time you open your album, see yourself hanging on your wall, or swipe through on a screen. Our photoshoots provide you with a printed album and digital photos to enjoy day after day, so you’ll always have a reminder of how strong, beautiful, and worthy you are of loving yourself! And imagine how you’ll feel looking at your photos in 5 years…10 years…20 years…your body may change, but your spirit and won’t, and you’ll always be able to celebrate yourself for who you are!
When you book your photoshoot with Boudie City, you can relax knowing that we’ll take care of you. This experience isn’t just about photos but about lighting a fire in you to change how you see and treat yourself. It’s about showing you how beautiful you are but also helping you feel as good as you look.
You deserve a self-love experience. Not because you need to prove anything or you want to treat your partner or you reached a goal. You deserve this because you are worthy of celebrating yourself right now. You deserve to feel empowered, confident, and so head over heels in love with yourself.
