Embracing The Imperfections
by Jillian Doores
When will it be your turn to do a boudoir session?
Do you fall down the rabbit hole of wanting perfection?
The perfect timing. . .
The perfect body. . .
The perfect outfit. . .
The perfect partner. . .
The perfect milestone. . .
You certainly are not the first to fall into this negative cycle and you will most likely not be the last.
On so many levels, our society plays a role in our limiting beliefs. There are unspoken expectations for how women are to look, act, dress, and juggle the many roles within their lives. Always demanding perfection. She can become so consumed by it all that she can lose touch with her own sexy feminine self.
Brene Brown says it best, “Worthiness doesn’t have prerequisites” and I believe this applies to women who find themselves having limiting beliefs regarding boudoir. Whether it be a conservative background or damaging relationships, at some point or another we all have encounters with moments of feeling unworthy. Even the most strong, confident, and beautiful women have their doubts. With all of this being said, it’s important to note that not a single woman on our website is a highly-paid supermodel. Every woman is a dear client to us who, in spite of her obstacles, took the brave step to move forward with the experience of boudoir photography with us. Beyond that, as if to shatter those lies and celebrate this great milestone, she even gave us the privilege of sharing her photos, to perhaps be an inspiration to you.
You don’t have to be a professional model. . . Your mind, body, spirit, and soul - in other words: YOU, are a work of art and should be celebrated for both your greatest attributes along with your unique imperfections. Boudoir photography is suitable for every body type. No matter your background, experience, occupation, or any other needless category you’d like to insert here. You are 100% worth a boudoir session and you do not need to change or alter any part of your body in order to be ready for it.
You also do not need experience with lingerie to have a boudoir session. This can be especially true for a woman who is just coming to learn about boudoir. If you are new to the game, no worries! We believe that every single one of our clients is on some form of a self-love journey when she seeks us out for photography. You may even be exploring a whole new side of your sexuality and womanhood. Any woman is allowed to explore who she is and/or who she would like to be!
The only person you need to do this for is you. Plain and simple. You don’t need to have a man in your life to do a boudoir session. More often than not, women find this to be so much more of a gift to themselves vs. their partner! Boudoir isn’t just for brides, nor do you need to be in the best shape of your life in order to be worthy of a boudoir session.
Do you have doubts about the whole boudoir experience being worth it? Please understand this: What we do here at The Boudoir Studio is so much more than capturing “sexy” photos of our clients. We are committed to partnering with you, through the art of our boudoir photography, to erase the lies reflected back at you in the mirror so you can no longer be held back from seeing just how beautiful you are in this very moment. We strongly believe that you neither need to shed a pound nor be augmented in any way to be deserving of such an experience. We highlight your very best self to validate your beauty. Past clients have attested to the lasting magic of this experience and get to relive it as often as they admire their own images. You are worthy of that too!
The bottom line is this: we believe it is important that you come to love and appreciate yourself no matter your imperfections or limiting beliefs. Our studio walls provide a safe place where you can explore being sexy without the fear of looking awkward. The time that is taken and structured to make sure that you feel comfortable in front of the camera is like none other. There is no judgment and your privacy is valued and respected. We take our job very seriously because we know that every one of our clients is 100% worth it. . . even if she doesn’t see it in herself yet. Embrace your imperfections and love that strong woman in the mirror.
