“Comparison is the thief of joy”- Theodore Roosevelt
While we are living in a society that is beginning to embrace body positivity more and more, yet loving ourselves is still a lesson that many of us struggle with. It’s so easy to scroll on Instagram and Pinterest and see photos of beautiful women and compare ourselves. How many of you have wanted to do a boudoir shoot, but then you see yourself in the mirror and tell yourself, “I could never”? Life is short, and it’s time to start rethinking your mentality.
What you see in those little squares are, more often than not, a true representation of real life. Even the most “real” social media influencer rarely puts photos up that don’t portray themselves in the best light! What you are seeing is a beautiful and curated reflection of someone’s life. Guess what?
Every model, every fitness guru, every beautiful influencer…they all have insecurities and flaws!
When you choose to a boudoir session, you are choosing to love your body as it is. You are giving yourself grace to accept every story that your body has to tell, because that is exactly what every curve and stretchmark holds…
your story.
Every woman deserves to have the boudoir experience. You deserve to feel pampered and beautiful…because once that camera starts going, you will certainly forget about your flaws and begin to truly feel flawless. Life is too short to worry about your flaws. Life is too short to get caught up on “what would other people think?” When you are looking for your boudoir photographer, you can find someone who might be willing to photoshop the dimples and marks, or if you prefer to celebrate it, you can ask them to shoot you exactly as you are. It’s your shoot, your choice -therefore, you can do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Whether that’s a t-shirt or a sexy piece of lingerie, this time is all about you!
Change the narrative of your life, of your mindset and start accepting your body now.
Do things that make you feel wonderful and happy!
Life is short…do the photo shoot.
