3 Boudoir Myths Debunked
- Boudoir is centered around the male gaze!
I would have to say that there are more womxn boudoir photographers than men boudoir photographers. Many photographers see boudoir as a way to empower their clients. Contrary to society, women love to celebrate their bodies too. Yes, some women do a boudoir experience to keep the fire burning in their relationships or for a groom’s gifts. But overall my clients have been in a major life transition and want to celebrate this new version of themselves. That has nothing to do with men.
- Only people with fit bodies should do a boudoir experience.
This is simply not true at all! All bodies are welcomed and encouraged to do boudoir experiences. Boudoir like sexy has no damn size! How ever you show up with your beautiful body is exactly what it should be. This is a time to celebrate you as you are.
- Only people who have modeled before should do boudoir experiences.
WHAT, no! That is why you hire professional boudoir photographers. A professional boudoir photographer will understand what poses are flattering for your body. They will also guide you by showing you the poses first and make sure you are comfortable.
