I can't do a Boudoir Session because I...

...am not skinny enough... am too old... have cellulite... am not a model...

You name it, I've heard it. In fact I've said these things myself. I hear from so many women, "I'd love to have images like that of myself, but I don't look like a model..." Well, that may be true, but even models don't look like models prior to hair, make-up, a brilliant photographer, and editing after the shoot. It takes a colossal effort to make supermodels look super! Beyond that, Boudoir Photography isn't about looking like a Playboy model, it's about celebrating real women with real bodies. Of the many women I've photographed, few looked like models, and fewer still were cellulite free. I think we all know by now that the average dress size of a woman in the US is a size 14. I'm not sure that even matters though, because true beauty isn't about your age or the number on the scale. I truly believe that beauty is something that starts from the inside and isn't about what size you wear. Your husband didn't fall in love with you because of your jean size (and if he did, I'm sorry dear, but I wouldn't put a lot of trust in the depth of that relationship). I've heard from many men that what they find most sexy in a woman is confidence. And what shows sexy confidence more than having the courage to pose for a boudoir session? Truly though, I believe the experience of a boudoir shoot isn't just about presenting the images to your husband, it's about celebrating what makes you beautiful, no matter your age or waist size. Most of all, it's about amazing yourself when you see the images- proof that you are a sexy, confident woman.
