When you hear the word “boudoir,” what comes to mind? Maybe you picture women draped in lace and pearls, lounging in soft lighting with pink accents everywhere. And while that can certainly be one type of boudoir session, let me be clear: you don’t have to be a “girly girl” to book a boudoir session or feel sexy.

Recently, a woman reached out to inquire about a session but hesitated because she said, “I’m not really the type to do boudoir.” My response? There is no “type.” Boudoir is for every woman, no matter how you define your style, femininity, or power.

Here’s why you don’t need to fit any mold to reap the incredible benefits of a boudoir session.

1. A Boudoir Session Celebrates YOU as You Are

Boudoir is not about transforming yourself into someone you’re not. It’s about celebrating who you are, right now, in this moment.

When you step into my studio, you’re not aiming to achieve some cookie-cutter image of beauty. Instead, you’re capturing your strength, confidence, and power just as you are. And trust me, this experience isn’t just about the photos you take home. It’s about how those photos change the way you see yourself.

You’ll leave the studio standing taller, feeling bolder, and ready to take on the world. Whether it’s finally going after that promotion, demanding the respect you deserve, or simply feeling confident in your own skin, boudoir can be the spark that lights your fire.


2. You Can Define Sexy in Your Own Way

Let’s get one thing straight: I never expect you to be anything other than your authentic self.

For some women, sexy looks like a body-hugging dress or delicate lingerie. For others, it’s their favorite jeans and a leather jacket. Whether you want to bring out the lace and feathers or stick with camo and chains, your boudoir session is about defining sexy on your own terms.

This session is a chance to explore your style, play with different looks, and rediscover what makes you feel confident. By the time we’re done, you won’t be comparing yourself to anyone else—you’ll be celebrating YOU.

3. Boudoir Is the Ultimate Act of Self-Love

Yes, boudoir can make an amazing gift for a partner—but at its core, this experience is for YOU.

Your relationship with yourself is the most important one you’ll ever have. It’s the longest-lasting, and it deserves just as much care and attention as any other relationship in your life.

Maybe you’re navigating a divorce, overcoming body image struggles, or reconnecting with yourself after years of putting others first. Or maybe you’re celebrating a milestone, marking an achievement, or simply saying, “I deserve this.”

Whatever your reason, booking a boudoir session is a bold act of self-love. It’s a way to honor where you’ve been, celebrate where you are, and embrace the journey ahead.


It’s Time to Redefine Boudoir

So maybe you don’t love pink, lace, or pearls. Maybe your style is bold, edgy, or understated. None of that matters. What matters is that you’re ready to step into your power, celebrate your beauty, and embrace the badass woman you are.

Boudoir isn’t about fitting into someone else’s idea of sexy—it’s about creating your own.

Are you ready to define sexy on your own terms?

Let’s create a session that’s unapologetically YOU.
