There is a great fear that lies in our core: a fear of not being good enough, of not doing well enough, of not looking good enough. We are afraid that we don’t fit the conventional model of attractiveness, terrified that we’re not beautiful. Society has taught us to be ashamed of everything that we are because we are a few inches above or below the average, because we are heavier or lighter than what is deemed “best”, or because our skin color is “wrong”. Society has tried to tell us we aren’t perfect, and therefore, we should feel badly about ourselves.
Remove the Lies
It’s time to shake off those lies. It’s time for the age of dreading our bathroom mirror to end. Indeed, it’s time for us to move our ever-judging eyes away from our spectacularly beautiful bodies and stop hating ourselves for the way we look.
Boudoir Is for Everyone
This is where boudoir comes in. Boudoir is a type of photography that specializes in intimacy and owning your body in all of its splendor. It involves taking photos in various states of undress – whether that means partially clothed or lingerie, it’s all up to you. Boudoir goes beyond simple photography, however; it transcends into the realm of healing. It is an experience that takes its subject through a journey of self-acceptance and finding love for both their body and themselves. Boudoir is all about making someone feel comfortable in their own skin again.
It’s not just for any one group of people, either. Oh no, boudoir is for everyone. No matter what you look like, no matter who you are, no matter what you’ve been through, boudoir photography is a safe space where you can come to find body positivity. Gender, age, race, sexuality – no matter what, you will find only warmth and acceptance behind the lens.
Be You
It’s time to stop allowing others to tell you if you are gorgeous or not. The simple answer is this: you are. You are glorious, a shining fire in this dark world. You are powerful and undeniable. It’s time for you to show that to the world, but most importantly, to yourself.
