10 Reasons To Do A Boudoir Photo Shoot
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a boudoir is defined as “a woman’s dressing room, bedroom or private sitting room.” However, from a photography aspect, boudoir photo shoots are instances where women pose for photographs, either in the nude, in lingerie or partially clothed.
Boudoir photos are designed to be classy, elegant, sensual, sexy and tasteful, all at the same time. There are a number of reasons to do a boudoir photo shoot. Here are 10 of them:

- Body image– Body image is how you see your body and how you assume others see it. Unfortunately, in today’s society, body image is mainly affected by family, friends, social pressure and the media. Society has made women feel that they must be a size 2 in order to be considered sexy. However, this isn’t the reality since beautiful, sexy women come in all shapes and sizes. If you are one of the many, many women with body image issues, a boudoir photo shoot may help.
- It can be empowering– Getting sensual and sexy in front of a complete stranger, as well as in front of a camera, isn’t easy for the majority of women out there. However, once you have a boudoir photo shoot done and you see the end results- your photos- you’ll see just how beautiful you are, and you’ll feel stronger and more confident.
- Express your individuality– There are no two women who are alike. Every woman has their own style, their own personality, etc. Your boudoir photos should express your own individuality and should show off who you are as a unique individual. After all, you know exactly what you like and what you don’t like, right?

- Step outside your comfort zone– Push your boundaries and challenge yourself to do something that’s outside your comfort zone. For an adrenaline rush, some people go bungee jumping, some go skydiving and some have a boudoir photo shoot.
- It makes the perfect gift– What better gift to give your significant other, future husband or current spouse than a beautiful boudoir photo album. They already think you’re beautiful in sweats and messy hair, so imagine how they’ll react when they see the gorgeous photos from your boudoir shoot.
- Great excuse to buy new lingerie– While you really don’t need a reason to go out and purchase some new lingerie, it does give you a great excuse to do so. So, go out and spend an afternoon looking for something special that fits your body like a glove, enhancing every curve.
- It is not a must that you wear lingerie– If showing off acres of skin isn’t your thing, you can still look sensual and sexy. After all, the idea is for you to look your best, while also feeling comfortable in what you’re wearing. There are several other wardrobe options that you can consider, such as an oversized t-shirt, a sexy cocktail dress, a silky robe or sheet, your favorite sports jersey, your significant other’s dress shirt or Daisy Duke shorts with a sexy bra.

- You deserve to be pampered– You know that feeling you get after a fresh, new haircut? The feeling like you’re ready to take on the world? Well, maybe not exactly like that, but I am sure you get the point. You get your hair styled and your makeup done, by a professional, before the camera starts to roll. After working long hours and shuffling the kids to their various activities, you certainly deserve it.
- Mark a milestone birthday– Turning 30, 40, 50 or 60? Capture how you looked at different milestone ages in your life. It will give you something awesome to look back on.
- Celebrate something special– A boudoir photo shoot can help you document a special occasion. Maybe you just ended a relationship and you want a fresh start. Maybe you recently worked hard to shed a few extra pounds and want to flaunt those results. Or maybe you’re a new mom, whose body belonged to someone else for the last 9 months, and you want to embrace your new title- mom.
