When I mention my Seattle area boudoir photography, so many women say some version of, “That sounds amazing, but I’m not confident enough to do that right now,” or, “Maybe I would have done that when I was younger and thinner, but not now.” It’s a common misunderstanding that you should wait until you feel comfortable in your body to do boudoir photography, but it’s actually the opposite - boudoir photography can help you get that confidence you’re looking for. So the real question is, when do you finally go for it and book that session for yourself? There’s never a bad time for boudoir portraits, but there are certain milestones or changes in life that can make a boudoir session especially meaningful, so let’s talk about them.

Boudoir photography is one of those things that so many women mull over from time to time, but it can take a while before you decide to actually do it…or maybe you never do. The idea might pop up every once in a while, or you might have friends who are encouraging you to give it a try, but you always find a reason not to do it. As women and as moms, we can always find reasons not to invest in ourselves, but there are so many more important reasons to go for it. Here’s why you should finally make the call and book that boudoir photo shoot.
