I say it often: at Brooklyn Boudoir, it’s about more than “sexy” pictures.
The photos are most definitely a perk. But, you’ll see, it’s WAY more about how the photos, and the whole experience, make you FEEL.
When you FEEL sexy…damn. There’s just no feeling like the confidence boost you get when you know you look damn good. For too many of us, that feeling doesn’t present itself very often — certainly not as often as it used to.
I mean, do you remember those days… maybe you were in your 20s, maybe your early 30s, when you felt like you just RAN this city? When you were kicking ass and taking names, when you wouldn’t start your party until 10pm, when every weekend was a new opportunity for adventure?
Were those times perfect? Oh no, certainly they were not. I’ve cared far too much about silly boys who ghosted, that one who texted on my birthday, that time I got dumped right before a friend’s wedding… luckily this was all before the age of Tinder! BUT… I digress.
There’s often confusion about the purpose of boudoir photography, probably because there are so many different interpretations of it. Some boudoir photographers present their work to the public as the ultimate gift for your spouse. Some boudoir photographers present their work to the public as “naughty photos”.
Boudoir photography is something very different for me and for my clients. It’s not about doing something “naughty” and it’s usually not about doing something for anyone else. It’s about getting that feeling back. It’s about FEELING CONFIDENT AND STRONG. It’s about knowing that she’s still in there somewhere. It’s about crushing your self-doubt. And it’s about loving yourself…or at least learning to.
Can you do all that with your clothes on? Yes. Obviously you can. So why strip down?
