boudoir for the subject

I struggle with the word boudoir because it conjures up scantily clad women or page 3 of the Sun for most. It's seen as being created for the viewer and not the subject sitting for the photos.

Well, I just think that is the most ridiculous thing! I think you should feel empowered from your boudoir session. It should represent you and how you feel on an intimate level, not the person viewing it. It needs to speak about where you are in your life and have your personality shine through. Whether that is close ups in full underwear or full body shots wearing a shirt. It should be how you feel you're most confident and sexy, which may even be in your favourite PJs!

There are so many types of boudoir you could chose from, beautiful silhouettes, grecian sculptures, bridal boudoir and many more. That's not just one type and style so it's important to have a consultation and plan your session of 5 different looks to reflect you and the intimacy you want to portray.

It can be coy, empowering, playful, naughty, strong, soulful and all of the above! Overall it should capture your intimacy and how you want to be seen.

If you were considering boudoir or haven't ever considered it I'm always up for a chat. I love to speaking to people from all different walks of life - we are all so different and that's what's wonderful. No two days are the same in my world.

What style of boudoir would you choose?
