What’s your Excuse
When something makes us nervous… we make excuses. Sometimes it’s I’m too busy, my schedule is too crazy, or I can’t spend THAT much on something for myself. Excuses like “I want to lose 15lbs first” and “I just don’t have the money” are ones we hear all the time. I wanted to put this blog together to show you that no matter what the excuse, you CAN do a boudoir session! Let me show you that you are worthy of having beautiful photos!
“I just don’t have enough time”
I get it, we are all busy! As a mom of two kids in school and sports, 5 pets, and a husband I always feel the nagging voice in my head reminding me to do something! It’s also important to remember that if you aren’t taking care of yourself mentally, you’re not going to be able to handle taking care of everyone else. Many times I have needed that reminder to slow down and give myself a break from responsibilities.
During a boudoir session with us you’re able to take a break from supporting others and hype up yourself for a few hours. Just think of all the mental energy you’ll save everyday when you can stop hating on “imperfections” and just be comfortable in your skin.
You need to take time for YOU, why not have an amazing experience and get glammed up?!
“I want to lose 15 pounds first.”
If I NEVER hear this again, I will know that my message has finally sunk in for women. Did you know that the typical body portrayed in the media for boudoir/portraits/models is made up by only 5% of American females?! FIVE PERCENT. I can not stress this enough… there is no certain body type or size to qualify you for loving yourself and the skin you’re in. We are no longer in the days where we allow strangers to define what the “perfect” body is.
If you have a goal that you want to hit for your health, I love that for you! BUT here is the deal you do not have to hate your body to get healthy in fact you should love your body every step of the way, especially because our physical body isn’t a portrayal of health.
“I don’t think of myself as a sexy person and I don’t feel sensual anymore.”
WRONG.
This is the real reason you SHOULD do a boudoir shoot!
It’s easy to get caught up in our everyday routines and tasks which can put our sexuality or femininity to the side. Eventually we lose touch with that side of ourselves and for some women then simply never felt it!
Our studio allows you to see that side of yourself that is just sitting right inside of you! I walk you through the posing from head to toe including facial expressions, so you don’t have to worry about looking awkward. I have SO many clients that see themselves on the back of the camera during the session and say, “I can not believe that is me”.
“I don’t have the money to invest in a session”
A boudoir session IS an investment. One of the most important investments because it’s for yourself! Investing in yourself is tough and more often than not it’s a mental challenge because you’re used to buying things for other people like your kids/family/husband. We do offer pre-payment plans, where you book up to a year in advance and split up the cost of your ideal collection into biweekly or monthly payments. If you have any questions about our prepayment plans, shoot us an email!
