Get your sexy on
Hello gorgeous!!!!!!!
If you can’t tell from my excess of exclamations above, this is a topic I am THRILLED to talk about. As I begin offering Boudoir Sessions, I want to take you through my “why”. The reasons I feel so strongly about this endeavor and what it has already done for me. And most importantly, why I am so excited for YOU.
And just to prove I have some skin in the game (pun absolutely intended) here are some shots from my sessions in the past. All self-portraits too!
THE WHY
A few facts about me…I am 37. I am a mother of two. I am a size 18. I have stretch marks. I like wearing lingerie. I like reading romantasy books (romance and fantasy). I love feeling sexy.
I have worked really hard to discover and rediscover that side of myself. Even now, as I type, I am feeling some nerves about sharing this side of myself. We are taught to be discreet about these things but I call bullshit. I’m tired of feeling shame or guilt or embarrassment. I push back against that societal pressure and instead, I chose to be a champion for women, and truly all people, to feel fucking sexy. For me, feeling sexy also makes me feel strong, intelligent, and joyful. It is a celebration and being alive and in my body. I feel powerful.
I can acknowledge that feeling sexy looks different on everyone. We all have different obstacles to work around and different life experiences to consider. But I want you to remember one thing. The journey to this feeling is for no one but YOU. I know traditionally we gauge our sexiness by looking through the lens of a partner or even society. And while those can be residual benefits, what matters most is that YOU FEEL IT. And I will let you in on a secret…boudoir photos were my catalyst to feeling all of these things for myself.
Now before I get too preachy, I started taking my boudoir photos for my husband as a Valentine’s Day present. It wasn’t really for me in the beginning. But after my first go around, I noticed how I felt. I felt more connected with my body and appreciative of all it has done and can do. I felt sexy, and not because someone else was saying I was, but because I truly felt it. I wasn’t faking it or pulling that feeling from an external source. And that was a new feeling for me. It is a path I am continuing down and growing in to as time goes on. And one that has brought more joy to my life.
I hope by sharing my experience, I can normalize the desire to feel sexy and be in touch with that side of ourselves. I can encourage everyone to explore what that feels like and looks like to them. And offer a safe and empowering opportunity to discover a new side of yourself through boudoir photography. So buckle up buttercup, because I can’t wait for you to go on this journey!
My first round of Boudoir sessions is taking place Sunday, January 28th, 2024. If you found yourself nodding along, feeling your heart pitter-patter, or picturing yourself in these photos…then click that button below and I’ll be there for you every step of the way. I’ve got you!
