Why I Became a Boudoir Photographer: Celebrating Confidence and Empowerment Through the Lens
People ask me all the time why I love the art of Boudoir Photography. “Don’t you feel weird about photographing other women half naked?!” My answer?
1. This is not about ME, this is about what I do for THEM, I am a talented photographer THEY hire. Don’t make it weird.
2. Photographers are driven by a deep passion to capture the unique beauty and strength of every woman who steps in front of their lens. This art form isn't just about creating stunning images, it's about empowering women to see themselves in a new light. I love what I do because it allows me to celebrate each individual's beauty and strength, helping them break free from self-doubt and embrace the confidence they were born with, remember being 5 years old with a new dress?! Boudoir photography becomes a powerful tool for confidence building, allowing women to rediscover themselves and celebrate their own bodies, no matter their shape or size. Every woman is beautiful, I help you see that.
The most touching moments often happen when a woman sees her photos for the first time and is overwhelmed with emotion. I love showing back of camera photos as we go, and witnessing tears of joy and awe as my client realizes just how beautiful she truly is, its such a rewarding experience. These moments are why I’m so passionate about my work, they remind me of the profound impact I can have on someone’s self-esteem and their lives.
For me, it's not just about taking beautiful pictures, it’s about creating a safe space as well, where women can feel those feelings of being vulnerable yet SO empowered, ultimately leaving with a renewed sense of self-love. I love watching a client leave my studio after a session. The hair toss and super model strut tells me I did my job! Who doesn’t want that?!
THIS is MY “why”.
