Boudoir photography has become increasingly popular in recent years, with many people turning to this genre for a variety of reasons. But despite its growing popularity, boudoir photography is not for everyone. In this article, we’ll explore some reasons why you might want to reconsider doing a boudoir session.

You’re Not Comfortable with Your Body

Boudoir photography is all about celebrating your body and feeling confident and sexy in your own skin. If you’re not comfortable with your body or have severe body image issues, a boudoir session might not be the best choice for you. It’s important to feel confident and comfortable during your session, and if you’re not there yet, it might be better to wait until you are. And don’t get me wrong, people who do boudoir are not always 100% comfortable with their bodies and are pushing themselves to see past their flaws. That’s a bit different. Just make sure that when coming in, that you’re ready to see the raw you.

You’re Doing It for Someone Else

Boudoir photography is a personal and intimate experience, and it’s important to do it for yourself, not for someone else. If you’re doing a boudoir session because your partner wants you to, or because you think it will make them happy, it’s important to reconsider. Boudoir photography should be a celebration of your own unique beauty and strength, not just a gift for someone else.

You’re Not Ready to Be Vulnerable

Boudoir photography is an intimate and vulnerable experience, and it’s important to be ready for that level of vulnerability. If you’re not ready to be vulnerable in front of the camera, a boudoir session might not be the best choice for you. It’s important to be honest with yourself about your comfort level and boundaries.

You’re Not Willing to Invest in Yourself

Boudoir photography is a significant investment, and it’s important to be willing to invest in yourself. If you’re not willing to spend the time and money on the experience, a boudoir session might not be the best choice for you. It’s important to value yourself and your unique beauty, and to invest in yourself accordingly.

You’re Not Ready for the Attention

Boudoir photography can be a powerful and transformative experience, and yes, girl, you’re going to be “Oohed” and “Aahed” over. We are there to celebrate YOU! If you’re not ready for that level of attention, a boudoir session might not be the best choice for you- at least not right now.

In conclusion, boudoir photography is not for everyone. If you’re not comfortable with your body, doing it for someone else, not ready to be vulnerable, not willing to invest in yourself,  or not ready for the attention, a boudoir session might not be the best choice for you. It’s important to be honest with yourself about your comfort level and boundaries, and to choose an experience that celebrates your unique beauty and strength in a way that feels comfortable and empowering for you.
