In today’s world we’re more accustomed to having our photo taken, taking our own photo (selfie anyone?) and seeing ourselves in photo’s on social media and the likes. Along with no longer needing an excuse to celebrate ourselves – boudoir photographers (myself included) are seeing more and more beautifully strong and raw women say ‘yes, this is me’.

Boudoir photography was once something done for somebody else, these days – it can be and IS done, just for you. Not just as a wedding or valentine’s day surprise or gift for someone else, these days, having a photoshoot just to celebrate YOU is the norm and I love it.

If there’s one time of year that you feel compelled to celebrate yourself, it’s birthday! They are literally a celebration of you – of the day you were born, the life you’ve created with your family and friends. Your accomplishments. Why not treat and celebrate yourself with a boudoir portrait photoshoot?

Feeling glamorous and sexy is right up there with the best birthday gift you can give yourself – or to someone else for that matter. Have a mother, sister, or friend that would love some pampering and time for herself to rejoice in all that she is? Why not share the present of a photoshoot?

Working with women to embrace their physical, mental, and emotional selves is what I love about being a photographer. Capturing your essence in a playful, sexy, and confident light is what I’m most passionate about. A boudoir session is like a private portrait photoshoot where you get to be your full self, in a comfortable, supportive environment.

If you think of boudoir as pampering yourself, you’ll relate it to the feeling you have of fresh hair, nice nails, a new outfit, now imagine bringing all of those together while you empower the women you are right now, beautiful and confident – proud.

Now THAT is a great birthday present to yourself.
