Bridal Boudoir: An Empowering Gift FOR YOU AND YOUR Significant Other

DECIDING TO HAVE A BOUDOIR PHOTOSHOOT BEFORE YOUR WEDDING IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR BUT IT DOES REQUIRE SOME PLANNING AND PREPARATION. IN THIS ARTICLE WE WILL GOOVER SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS.

1-WHY SHOULD I HAVE A BOUDOIR SESSION?

The obvious reason for many is it makes a spectacularly spicy gift for your significant other. If the excitement and anticipation of your wedding night isn’t already enough this gift will have your partner rejuvenated even after the potentially exhausting, non-stop action of your wedding day. “But wait there’s more!” This gift is for YOU! Participating in a boudoir photo shoot is empowering.As women we are always seeing sexualized images in advertisements and media and wondering how we can possibly compare. When you do Boudoir you are fearlessly embracing your sexuality and your body.If you have any doubts that you are beautiful here is the moment to clear those doubts. Enjoy the experience and when you receive the images know that you will now get to see yourself through someone else’s eyes instead of your own highly critical eyes. As they say we are our own worst critics. Let this be an opportunity to change the way you see yourself.

2-FEEL YOUR BEST!

Spoil yourself before your boudoir session. Get rid of as many reasons to be nervous as possible. Get a facial, get a massage, splurge on professional hair and makeup services. Anything you can do to make you feel relaxed and lovely for your session... DO IT! But make sure you still feel like you! Your significant other loves you for you. They want to see your personality and unique features represented in your photos so don’t try to look like anybody else. No one is more sexy to your partner than YOU.

3-SHOULD I LOSE WEIGHT?

Okay so this is always a hot button topic. There is nothing wrong with choosing a healthy lifestyle for yourself and if that means losing a little weight before the wedding then cool! However our answer is NO! You are beautiful in your skin right now and Boudoir is for all colors, shapes and sizes! That is the whole point of this. No matter what your BMI is your partner loves every inch of you and your Boudoir photographer is going to capture that sexiness. Remember to embrace your beauty. Memorialize the stunning you that exists in this moment because you are changing every day.
