If you’ve been following Pink Door Photo for any amount of time, you’ll notice we talk a lot about Boudoir and we provide you with lots of information on how to prep for a shoot, but we don’t often explain what exactly Boudoir is or what it means.
WHAT IS BOUDOIR?
Boudoir is the French word for a woman’s bedroom, so it makes sense that boudoir is typically thought of as a sexy photo shoot. Clients typically wear sexy outfits – lingerie, stockings, undergarments, dresses, etc., but it doesn’t always have to be like that! Personally, when we think of a boudoir shoot, we think of it as more of a confidence booster. While some women believe wearing sexy clothing helps them build confidence, that’s not always the case. Many women choose to wear items of clothing that they wear everyday (i.e.- a tank or tee, a fitted button down shirt, a robe, a jersey, etc.) that will remind them of that photo shoot every time they wear it. We welcome your creative input and remember, you are part of your styling team too!
WHY SHOOT BOUDOIR?
While some women choose to do a shoot for a significant other (birthday gift, wedding present, anniversary, etc.), it typically ends up being a gift for themselves more so in the long run. Sessions do SO MUCH to lift you up and give you back a sense of self, and a refreshed feeling of confidence. Sure, your partner will probably swoon over these gorgeous images, but it’s really our clients that will feel transformed from this experience.
WE’RE HERE FOR YOU!
Most of our clients have shared that booking a shoot initially brought on feelings of anxiety, but ended up being a huge confidence builder for them. We are here for you every step of the way and can often talk you through the different feelings and emotions you may feel before your session. Always reach out! The photographers at Pink Door Photo have a way with women, and with cameras. We see clients in a way that, unfortunately, they rarely see themselves. It’s not magic – it’s a willingness to be vulnerable enough to put yourself out there and allow someone to show you a different side of yourself. Let us show you how beautiful you are. You never know where that newfound confidence will take you!
