EXCUSES…

When we get nervous, we make excuses.

As women with tend to put ourselves on the backburner. We find every reason not to love or take care of ourselves. I get it…life is busy!! Work is crazy, you are taking care of your household while simultaneously orchestrating everyone’s schedule. You are making sure that the kids are taken care of while still making time for your spouse and hoping the world doesn’t implode around you.

Or you may say to yourself:  “I want to lose 15 pounds first”, “I don’t have the money right now” or “I don’t have the confidence”. I wanted to let you know that no matter the excuse, you can do it! Let me show you that no matter what, YOU ARE WORTHY OF SELF-LOVE!

“I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO THIS FOR MYSELF”

It is important to remember that if you are not taking care of yourself mentally, you’re not going to be able to handle taking care of everyone else. This makes sense but it is actually much harder said then done! I am the worst at giving myself mental health breaks and doing things for me. That’s why I think it’s so important to share this with you all! I make the same excuses as above and sometimes I need someone to look at me in the face and say “Girl…slow down, give yourself a break, breathe for a minute”.

At a boudoir shoot you are able to breathe, and love yourself for a few hours. Plus, think of all the energy you’ll save on a daily basis if you stopped comparing yourself and stopped worrying about what other people think about your looks. You get to see where your beauty really comes from and this lifts such a huge mental weight.

You need to take time for yourself and to treat yourself. Why not spend having an amazing time getting glammed up and feeling like the bad*** that you are?

“I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT FIRST”

I will say this over and over again (and sorry, not sorry if you’ve heard me say it before), but why do you have to be a certain size to love yourself? Sexy is not a size…it’s an attitude and boudoir is for everybody and EVERY TYPE OF BODY! I want you to love your body right now!

Honestly, I think it’s amazing to have goals and want to get healthy, but does that mean you have to hate your body to do those things? Absolutely not! You should love yourself every step of the way. Be proud of your now so that you can be proud of where you’re going.  I promise you…Letting your guard down and embracing yourself and your body will make you feel so proud and powerful!

You don’t need to lose weight first to look smoking hot in your portraits!  It’s my job to use the right posing, lighting and lens choices to make you look amazing. It’s your job to have a moment of bravery and book a session, commit, and show up for yourself!

“I DO NOT FEEL SEXY SO A BOUDOIR SHOOT MUST NOT BE FOR ME”

NO WAY! This is so wrong!!

This is actually one of the MAIN REASONS to do a shoot!

When life gets busy, it is very easy to lose touch with our femininity or sexuality. I’m right there with you. This is a totally normal feeling and it is okay. Creating boudoir photos is a fabulous way to get in touch with your feminine side. It may sound crazy but getting out of your comfort zone will ultimately allow you to feel more comfortable, sexy and confident in your own skin!

Lastly, most women envision a boudoir shoot in lingerie but it doesn’t have to be. If you feel like this doesn’t show your personality, then there are so many other outfit choices. I would be happy to hear any ideas you have…it’s important that you feel comfortable!

“A BOUDOIR SESSION IS AN INVESTMENT AND I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE MONEY RIGHT NOW”

Yes, a boudoir session is an investment. It is also an investment in yourself!!

You are investing in your confidence and well-being as well. The great news is that I offer payment plans! In order to book your shoot, there is a retainer fee. After that, we will set up your payment plan for your package to make this affordable right now. Any questions regarding how payment plans work? Shoot me and email HERE
