How Boudoir Can Help You Improve Your Relationship with Your Body

Boudoir photography is a style of artistic nude or semi-nude photography that celebrates the female form. The word boudoir comes from French and means "a woman's private sitting room, especially one in which to take one's clothes off." Boudoir photographs are often framed as sexy - but they can also be used as a reminder that every woman has a unique beauty.

Great boudoir photography can help you appreciate your own body in a way that no one else can. There are many ways to approach boudoir photography, but most importantly it’s about feeling confident and beautiful while having fun!

It's important to note that you can't just take a selfie and expect it to look like the cover of a Victoria's Secret catalog - there's more work involved than simply snapping a photo on your phone. A beautiful boudoir image requires good lighting, artful posing and artistic framing.

The photographer will pose the model in a wide variety of ways, aiming to find the looks that show off her strengths in flattering ways. This could include highlighting assets like great curves, an elegant neckline or beautiful hands or feet.

I always ask my clients what they like most about their body and I find that's something that some women don't have an easy answer for. It can be hard to find a flattering angle in the mirror, but when you have someone with experience guiding you, it's much easier.

Boudoir is also about providing an environment where women feel both beautiful and comfortable - I want my clients to laugh and enjoy their session; it should never feel like work! That's why we provide professional hairstyling and makeup onsite before every shoot. The process of getting glammed up energizes photographer and client alike.

Femininity, sexuality and sensuality are aspects of the female body that are kept under wraps in most cultures. There are not many real-life situations where women can feel sexy and comfortable with their own bodies.

For some women, boudoir is a way to show themselves and their partner just how sexy they are. For others, it's the only time in life where they feel safe enough to really explore what makes them look good on camera.

For the best results, you should consider working with a professional boudoir photographer. Working with a professional boudoir photographer will improve your body image by making it easier to see the beauty in yourself.

I strongly believe that every woman has innate beauty. I hope that the images you see on chicago-boudoir.com prove that beauty can be found in women of all ages, body types and personalities. Book your shoot and see the magic that can happen in the boudoir studio!
