First, there is way more than 5
Let's be honest, there are way more than 5 reasons that a woman deserves a Boudoir Experience with Speak to Me Photography. However, this time of year, when the focus is on love, devotion, and demonstrating appreciation for the loves in our lives, Boudoir is a perfect experience to encapsulate all of these things. So let's going through some of the main reasons that you should gift yourself, or the love in your life with a Boudoir Experience.
1. Unapologetic self-love
The way that Boudoir celebrates you, your personality, your body and journey can be a perfect time capsule. In a world where it is rare to be able to carve out the time and space to put yourself first, and celebrate yourself in a meaningful way, Boudoir is a unique opportunity to do just that. It allows you the space to feel infinitely confident, empowered and beautiful, focusing on what makes you strong and confident, rather than perceived flaws. While you may not always feel comfortable being the center of attention, in our intimate sessions, you are simply amongst friends, with the focus being on a fun, encouraging experience. You're just all done up and in varying levels of clothing based upon your comfort levels.
2. A New Perspective
When I approach a new client and photoshoot, there are a lot of things I consider. Firstly, is what makes you feel the most confident, but after that and integrating the vibe of your choice, I take over and find poses and lighting scenarios to emphasize what I also find to be the most flattering and beautiful. While we all take selfies and photos of ourselves, we generally stick with what we know. By being on the other side of my lens, you see what others see. Challenging what you consider, and seeing what other people and to be beautiful about you, in a way maybe you haven't before. It can be profound and impactful, and that is my favorite.
3. It's so much fun
No matter the client, or the circumstances going on outside of the studio, we do everything we can to bring down the walls you have built. Just coming to the studio is evidence of that, but what comes next, it's my job to ensure that you are comfortable. We have a knack for getting people laughing and taking the focus off of the seriousness of posing and focus, and making it a lighthearted experience, where I just so happen to be taking photos throughout. Mimosa's also help.
4. Spicing things up with your partner
An obvious one. As previously stated, there are times we take sexy photos for our partners, and obviously being intimate with them. But the confidence and memorialization of a Boudoir Experience is a show stopper. It is taking the time to call out specific aspects of your relationship, and highlighting what you and your partner love about you and your body. For some it is a piece of jewelry that has been a gift, a theme that calls to another interest they have (any sports related session you have seen us do), or celebrating a holiday or milestone in a new way.
One of my favorite trends of 2024 is the TikTok trend you see where the bridal party gives the groom sexy photos of the bride throughout the course of the wedding. Flustering the groom and capturing those real time reactions that are uncontrollable. Personally, I also love sending my partner my photos while we are out in public. There's a sense of power one can feel, knowing what the reaction from their partner will be, and there's nothing they can do about it.
5. Overall body positivity
Something I am so incredibly proud of over the course of the past 2 and a half years of Speak To Me Photography, is the ability to make women of all sizes, skin tones, backgrounds and ages feel beautiful and strong. The diversity you see on our page is something that is so important to me. There are times I don't feel like the baddie I put forward, I've done photoshoots feeling awful, but I do it anyway. Knowing that it would be hypocritical of me to not follow through on the belief system I hold so dear, that Boudoir is for any body. You may surprise yourself, and it is also my job to make sure that I am choosing poses and looks that are flattering. We got you.
In conclusion
Stop overthinking and JUST DO IT. Whether it is submitting for a giveaway on our page as a shot in the dark, letting fate decide, or booking with us outright, we will take very well care and consideration. It's okay to take time for yourself.
