How do I display my gorgeous boudoir images?
by Francesca Flansburg
Okay, so you’ve done all the things…you’ve taken that brave step, rocked your outfits, shown up for yourself, stuck your booty out, shined bright, said sayonara to fear and self-doubt, and journeyed through your own boudoir or intimate photo session. Congratulations!!! You are truly amazing! Now, the final images are the tangible end product of your courage put into action. But how will you preserve and display them? Well…consider the reasons for having them taken in the first place.
Perhaps you are documenting or celebrating a milestone. Maybe you are finding, or reclaiming, your sensuality. Or, you may simply want fun, sexy images of your fun, sexy self! Let your ‘why’ help guide ‘how’ you honor the images, as you check out our various product options here.
Hanging your photos as wall art can serve as a daily reminder, at home, of the strength, beauty, courage, sensuality, and overall bad-assery that is in you. Of course, the boudoir may be the prime location for your framed images. Or, consider the master bath (just keep in mind the material on which you choose to print and whether it can withstand a humid environment). For more ideas on rooms in which to display your images at home, see our previous blog post, 5 Places to Display Your Boudoir Photos. Of course there is no right or wrong when it comes to where you hang your wall art. Place it in the kitchen to spice up that space. Hang it above the fireplace to add more heat to the room, or at the top of a grand staircase if that speaks to you (and kudos for having a grand staircase if you do). Your place, your style, your choice! Many of these images are pure works of art and can be displayed as such. You may prefer to hang a piece that is not so obviously you- for a variety of reasons. If that’s the case, choose images that obscure your facial features, and…voila! A beautiful (one of a kind) work of art that no one has to know is actually you! What a fun little secret.
Also consider placing your images somewhere that only you (or a privileged few) will see. The inside of your bedroom door or the inside of your closet (bonus if it’s a walk-in) are two semi-private options. These can also serve as prime locations if you’re looking for a boost of confidence while getting ready for the day or a reminder of how sexy and captivating you are while getting in the mood (wink wink…). Another beautiful and creative wall art option includes hanging smaller prints amidst other photos, like beautiful landscapes or artistic shots, in a custom collage. You can use the 8x12 prints that are included in our folio box, or turn your digital images into prints yourself. See our previous post, Where Can You Print Your Boudoir Photos. If you are someone who decided to gift your images to a special someone, our slideshow playbook add-on can be proudly displayed in your honey’s home office or ‘man cave.’ This allows your darling the honor of checking you out throughout their day and tastefully covering, or putting away, the playbook on guys’ night or at other times when it might need to be hidden from view.
Other great gift options include the fine art album sets (with either a passepartout or a beautiful two-image folio) or the folio box. Either of these can be offered to your mate or kept for yourself as a more discrete, and portable, way to preserve and show off your images. With these, you may choose to display one of your photos on the cover or keep it bare. Store your album or box set nestled on a shelf or or lovingly displayed on your coffee table. These can also be kept on a nightstand or vanity in the bedroom. Portability of the albums and folio box creates easy access to your images anywhere and any time you choose. Bring them along for a sexy show-and-tell next time you have a hot date or take them to your next girls’ weekend to inspire and impress your friends!
Interested in a more creative, fun way to save and exhibit your boudoir photos? Try the retro viewfinder add on or turn your digital images into novelty items like a one-of-a-kind sexy calendar or an exclusive set of playing cards. Also, transfer your digital images onto your smartphone (if you are like those of us who don’t go far without our little digital sidekicks) and now they’re at your fingertips for on-the-go infusions of confidence and testaments of your beauty, bravery, recovery, sensuality, self-love, healing journey, fiery spark, loveliness, inner light, gorgeous smile, unique style, and incredible YOU. If it suits you, consider using one of your favorite images as the home and/or lock screen on your phone. And if there’s any concern about your device being accessed or seen by others, create a hidden folder in which to keep them. If you’re technologically challenged (or, ‘vintage,’ like me), ask a younger friend how to do this.
In all honesty, the sky is the limit as far as how you can honor and preserve your boudoir photos. Use your imagination and if you have a unique idea, please share it with the BSNY Tribe in our Facebook Lounge. Keep in mind that once you experience your own session at BSNY, and see your final images, you’ll probably want to show them off way more than you originally thought you would. Share with the Tribe if this rings true for you! And remember that how, when, and where you display your images is ultimately the tangible part of this process that will last forever. Make it meaningful, make it count, and most importantly, make it you!
