Is Boudoir Worth It?

I think we all can agree that a boudoir session is not your average photo experience. . . it requires a great deal of bravery and vulnerability! Potential clients can sometimes wonder about the time and investment that goes into the full boudoir experience. You may even ask yourself,
“Is boudoir worth it?”
We decided to take this very question to our amazing community at The Boudoir Lounge to see what they thought about the lasting impressions from their b-session! I have to say. . . the results are incredibly humbling and validating for us at The Boudoir Studio. We decided to share all of these kind words and stories with you!

“Worth it” is an understatement! 5 stars, would highly recommend. I found a side of myself I wasn’t sure had ever existed and WOW do I love her! I’ll definitely do it again. It was, for me, an expression of self-care and self-love. And it’s worth noting that even at what I would say was my most vulnerable (wearing lingerie in front of a stranger), I felt extra safe and respected at every step. It’s cheaper than therapy and a lot more fun!
But seriously, how do you put a price on feeling like the queen of your own story?”

“So, so, SO worth it! I decided to book a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift for my significant other, and I loved the products so much I’ve given him most of them (so I can see them too)! Every day when I look at my wall art I’m reminded of how strong I am and that I can do anything I set my mind to. I felt completely comfortable throughout the whole process, I’m a very shy and introverted person, and you guys helped me feel confident enough to come out of my shell and take stunning photos! I would 110% recommend this experience to everyone that has even remotely thought about doing it, I literally can not think of any cons to a boudoir shoot!
I will definitely be doing another one in the future! ”

“I did it as a gift for my honey and realized it was truly a lifelong gift for me ... to feel beautiful in front of a camera and even more, to truly enjoy looking at a picture of me without making excuses of: the place, the outfit, or the wrong smile!
Thank you for the unexpected confidence that lasted long after my session!”

“I had such an amazing first experience that I came back 2 more times after that. As a curvier lady, they all made me feel so comfortable, so beautiful and I couldn’t be more happier with my experience. I 1000% recommend every single woman to do this at least once in their life.
You will NOT regret it.”

“I learned a lot from my experience. Don’t wait till you lose weight or because you don’t know what to wear... it’s a learning experience. I am VERY self-conscious about my weight. I made mistakes with some of my clothing choices but I learned what to do for next time. There will be a next time! This time I will better prepare and think outside the box. This time I’m still in the same shape as I was before... just go with it. These pictures are not about perfection, they are about loving yourself as you are. These are a gift of evolving ....accepting who you are.....easier said than done...trust me!
I just think that this process is a gift and in the end, I feel like I gained a circle of friends that I didn’t have going into the experience.”

“Totally worth it! Being a plus-size black and Puerto Rican queen that had more days of not feeling sexy than I did feeling sexy was tough for me. I’m a pretty confident person and after my session, my confidence only increased by the millions! Looking at my photos, it’s crazy because I’m now 64 lbs less than I was in the photos. I’m so proud of myself for taking this step and I’m so proud of the woman I’ve further become! I love myself even more than I did before my shoot. I was actually in the middle of my journey and giving myself the best 30th birthday present to myself! My mindset was just to be unapologetically me. To not hold back and be scared of what anyone would think based on my size. It helped me with the confidence to keep going in my journey and to not give up on my goals that I’ve set in place to get to exactly where I am now! 2020 was not an easy year to make and maintain such hard goals but by the grace of God and by hard work and the endless support from family friends and the wonderful crew at The Boudoir Studio, I did it!
I achieved so much in such a short time, and I have so much more confidence than I did before and that’s all starting from my weight loss journey to literally work with you guys and just, I’m happy, I’m so happy and proud of myself. ”
