Ms. S | Boudoir Photography, Salt Lake City
There are so many incredible reasons to book a boudoir shoot. You’re getting married. You just celebrated a milestone birthday. You want an excuse to buy sexy lingerie. You want to give your significant other a romantic gift. You want to feel beautiful. These are wonderful reasons. Here are a few you may not have thought of:
- You have done some much for others. It is time to do something for yourself.
2. Just got divorced? Replace that framed wedding photo with an amazingly sexy solo photo.
3. Because the masculine and the feminine are just social constructs, and everyone deserves to feel beautiful. Smash the patriarchy with style.
4. Things are changing. Things are always changing. Transitions happen. Center yourself in the midst of chaos with a photo shoot that makes you look and feel your best.
5. No one thinks you would. PROVE THEM WRONG. Surprise them. Surprise yourself. Comfort zones are meant to be challenged. Get out of yours. Astonish yourself with what you are able to do. Dive into uncharted waters. Shock everyone, even yourself.
6. Each day, you are seen in certain roles. Parent. Spouse. Employee. Those roles are only a part of who you are. Reconnect with the part of you that is sensual. Playful. Alluring. Desirable.
7. Skydiving? Bungee jumping? You can get your thrills much more safely by posing on a bed in your underwear, rather than falling, and flailing, through the air. It feels just as risky, gets the adrenaline going, and practically no chance of plummeting to your death.
8. Sometimes, you just need to try on a new persona. Maybe you are an office administrator, but damn, do you pull off that leather corset! Who would suspect that underneath the power suit of the corporate bigwig is a person who has always wanted to wear sheer thigh-highs and a vintage-style push-up bra?! Why be one thing when you can be anything?
9. There are only six pictures of you in existance from the last 20 years that are not selfies. You are the memory maker. You are the picture-taker. But as the coordinator of everything, you are never in the pictures. You deserve to see yourself through an artist's eyes. You deserve to have a record of your awesomeness.
10. You got a new tattoo. No more explanation necessary.
11. Societal beauty standards? No thanks! Be your own beauty standard. Take the sexiest, hottest, most sensual photos of your kind of beauty. Blue hair? Fabulous. 72 years old? Slay. Lovely soft belly rolls and bulges? Goddess. Embrace it all.
12. Life is fast. As Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek advises: Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, “Oh, I’m too spooky. Or, “Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies.” But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, “Dear God. I was a beautiful thing.”
13. It’s an opportunity to have the you that you are when no one else is around photographed. That best version of you, when you are in your element and enjoying something you love. The fun and daring side. The sultry and pensive side. The carefree and liberated side. The comfortable and excited side.
14. You’ll get to see Matt show you how to arch your back and lick your lips. Worth. Every. Penny.
15. Taylor Swift would want you to. And we all know that this is Taylor’s world and we just live in it, so you should probably listen.
