Boudoir Photography Myths Busted

boudoir photography pictures ideas by Imthiaz houseman

There seem to be many myths about boudoir photography. And unfortunately, these myths prevent many women from participating in this experience! Let’s go ahead and bust five of the biggest myths and ease your fears if you find yourself hesitant.

  • I have to be naked

It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing lingerie, a potato sack, or nothing at all. The purpose of Boudoir photography is to empower the subject, not to make them uncomfortable. There is only one person who dictates how far you need to go with your shoot to reveal your inner goddess, and that is you. You don’t have to jump up and down on the bed in your birthday suit to feel empowered. Though if you choose to do nude photography, we are happy to make beautiful fine art nudes!

  • I’m not perfect.

Yes, you are! Who you are in this very moment is exactly who you should be as you begin this journey. I have photographed every age, size, shape, color, whatever, and the results are always gorgeous. There are too many things in this life we choose not to experience because we do not match society’s beauty standards. Boudoir photography will help release the chains that bind you, and you will see that anything is possible!

  • I will be judged for it.

Your shoot will be exactly what you want it, but there is naturally an element of sexuality to it. When it comes to something so incredibly personal, there are bound to be feelings of vulnerability and the fear of being judged. It is not for anyone but you to decide what makes you feel like a goddess. I’m there as your cheerleader, and to capture it in the art of photography. I do not judge. Besides, nobody will see these photographs unless you choose to share them. They can be your little secret!

  • Everybody will see my photographs.

As the client, YOU decide if I can use your photos for promotional purposes. After your shoot is over, you will go through the photographs and choose your favorites, and you will let me know if there are any photographs you do not want me to use for my portfolio. If you decide you do not want your photos posted online, this is completely fine too. They are your pictures to do with as you see fit.

  • I don’t have someone (a partner/ significant other) to do this for.

Yes, you do! These photographs are for YOU above all else. Sure, lots of people have these sessions done so that they can give their partner a gift they will never forget, and of course, that’s a wonderful idea. However, first and foremost, a boudoir photo session is a gift to YOU!
