LISTEN TO EPISODE #43 "Building Confidence Through Boudoir Photography"

I had the honor of being interviewed by Valerie Friedlander on her Unlimited podcast in an episode titled “Building Confidence Through Boudoir Photography” (you can listen to the whole interview HERE).

I met Valerie a few years ago through mutual friends and have been so impressed with the work she does in her coaching business to help women live their best lives. I loved talking to Valerie about why I’m a boudoir photographer, what I think boudoir photography can do for you, and what it has meant to me to be an entrepreneur and business owner.

Some of the topics we covered in the inteview include:

What is boudoir photography

Sexualization vs embodiment

Reclaiming your relationship with your body

Building a sense of confidence

The power of owning your mistakes

Female empowerment ripple effect

Here’s how Valerie summarized our conversation in the show notes:

Building confidence through boudoir photography is about empowering how you view your body. Empowerment is about choice and tapping into your possibilities. Women are bombarded with unrealistic body ideals, which makes it hard not to internalize the idea that we are flawed. Then, our choice is limited to what products to buy to try to become more beautiful to the assumed gaze of others. Or to disconnect and deprioritize our physical self. Boudoir invites you see yourself and your body through a different lens, to expand what you recognize as possible for yourself. There’s a confidence that blooms out of that knowing. It’s why many women do boudoir shoots just for themselves, not only for an intimate partner.
