A boudoir shoot can be the perfect antidote for women who find themselves stuck in “go mode” all the time- here’s why:
1. Getting out of your comfort zone helps break the stress
When there’s a lot on our plate, we can get stuck in habits like unconsciously tensing up or worrying about the next thing we need to do. Maybe you’ve like me and find yourself sitting at your desk with your shoulders scrunched up and your jaw clenched, or maybe you’re always running around getting the kids to school and activities. Either way, it can feel like every busy day is the same routine.
Getting in front of the camera dressed in lingerie might sound like the last thing you’d want to do, but because it challenges you to slow down and appreciate yourself for an afternoon, it’s one of the best ways to interrupt the on go all the time patterns that stress creates in our lives. Beyond that, posing for your photos brings your awareness back into your body so you can notice your tension and let it go, which is something I can help you with as I guide you through poses.
When was the last time you had your makeup professionally applied, and your hair done? How long has it been since you’ve worn anything but work clothes or sweatpants? A boudoir shoot is a great reminder that you deserve to break out of your routine and get back in touch with who you are as a woman.
2. Goals
It’s great to have goals, but if we’re all being honest, sometimes it’s easy to focus a little too much on them. So many of us are trying to lose weight, make more money, improve our relationships, or be better parents. There’s nothing wrong with having goals, but burn out is usually right around the corner if we don’t balance out all the goals with some good some fun or creativity.
Even though you’re the model, boudoir shoots can get your creative juices flowing and help ease you out of the mindset that you have to reach a goal of something. We take care of the details, so all you have to do is show up, let go a little, and let yourself feel good.
3. It gives you something fun and exciting to look forward to
The fun of a boudoir shoot starts even before you get to the studio. If you’re feeling like your life has become a steady cycle on repeat, it can be fun to break out of it with a trip to the salon to get a blowout for your shoot or book a mani-pedi with girlfriends so you can get out all of your pre-shoot jitters over pampering and lunch. Or, if you’ve been trying to eat better or work out more, booking a shoot a couple of months in advance can even help motivate you to stay on track when you get bored or discouraged.
Knowing that you have something fun and exciting to look forward to can make it easier to get through long workdays, hectic wedding planning, caring for children, or even getting through a divorce.
