Discover the Joy of Self-Love: A Guide to Solo Boudoir Photography

You don’t need a partner to do a boudoir session

Wooing yourself has never been so easy. Or so encouraged and on-trend, for that matter. Women are doing it for themselves. They have their own money, living on their time, and march to the beat of their own drums. Self-love and ‘the appreciation of I’ are the order of the day, and no stone has been left unturned. Today, we look into why boudoir sessions are the new dinner date for one. Let’s discuss why Solo Boudoir Photography might just be for you…

Boudoir is not just for women whom have a partner

Despite its largely romance-free origins, boudoir has gained a reputation for being the realm of coupledom. We hear about brides taking part in tasteful bridal boudoir sessions as a wedding gift for their doting partners. Or engagement boudoir photos. Anniversary boudoir. It’s only a matter of time before ‘first date boudoir’ becomes a thing (why not?)

But as mentioned above, boudoir started off as a largely female-centric art form, capturing the female body and essence in tastefully alluring poses, lingerie, and often quirky outfits against elegant backdrops. That’s why …

Boudoir is for everyone

At its core, boudoir wants you to feel good about yourself for no other reason than you deserve to feel good about yourself. So when you walk into a boudoir session, no matter your intentions or motives for being there, it’s still all about you.

Why should you do a boudoir session just for you?

While we’d argue that the list of reasons for appreciating yourself and for self-empowerment is neverending, we thought we’d list a few particularly persuasive points nonetheless:

  • Step out of your comfort zone 
  • Boost your confidence 
  • Fall in love with yourself 
  • See yourself as the masterpiece you are 
  • Pamper yourself 
  • Embrace your power 

And the list truly does go on. What’s more …

No one is going to judge you

There’s always that little voice at the back of your head that tells you everyone’s watching. So, why not put on a show? Most professional boudoir photographers have already seen it all. Several souls walk through their studio doors every day, and all for their own personal reasons. Boudoir, in essence, is about intimacy. It’s vulnerable. And, as a result – a little bit (or sometimes very) scary. That’s why boudoir photographers become experts in shushing that little pesky voice. Anyway, you don’t have time to judge when you’re trying to capture beauty.

Make your session your own

When you waltz into a boudoir session with only your name on it, you can truly put your own mark on it. It’s yours for the taking. So let your imagination run free and include props that please you and express your true colors.

Decorate your own space

What better way to make a house a home than to adorn its walls with your own beauty? Frame your photos and gift them to yourself. Hang them up wherever you see fit and be reminded of your glory at all times.

Finally … 

And last but not least, you can always do another shoot should you couple up in the future. Next time around, you’ll know the ropes and will be a boudoir pro which is enough to impress any loved-up partner.
