While I waited for a recent Boston boudoir client to get glamorous, I studied her heels. No, not the back of her feet, her amazing Kate Spade heels! The shoes were black silk adorned with the cutest little white flower. Very classy, very sexy.
Boudoir photography is about the details – especially the ones on your feet! Heels are sexy. They are so very feminine and the curvature of the heel serves to accentuates your legs and butt. Everybody’s legs look sexier in heels, FACT!
If you’ve read any of my frequently asked questions, I define boudoir with the following words:
“The French are a romantic, confident and sexy bunch. Thus, it comes as no surprise the term “boudoir” originates from the French verb bouder, meaning “to pout.” Historically a boudoir referred to a woman’s private bedroom or dressing room – a very intimate setting. Boudoir photography does not always take place in a bedroom setting, but it is romantic and intimate in nature, and should always delight in the beauty of women.”
Boudoir photography is more than a woman in her skivvies, looking ravishing. Although trust me, this is nice. SWEET TOOTH Boudoir Photo is about FUN and SUGAR! OK, sugar is just a synonym for fun in this context.
Beyond fun, boudoir photography gives you confidence. WHAT!? You are thinking- you want me to get half naked in front of a camera and feel good about it? It is an empowering thing, realizing you are sexy. You are beautiful, even if you’ve forgotten, I’m telling you. And have photographic evidence to prove it 
If I had a nickel for every time I heard the statement (or a very similar variation), “I’m too fat for boudoir photography,” I’d have a lot of Snickers bars. To be perfectly honest, 99.9% of the time I’m staring back at a svelte, gorgeous woman. But fine, you know what? Instead of fighting that crazy notion of yours like I normally do, I present to you:
THE SWEET TOOTH BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY DIET!
Maybe you think you’re not thin enough for boudoir photography, or maybe you just want to get back into a workout regimen to tone up a bit. Well ladies, I give to you– your inspiration. Book yourself a boudoir photo session for a couple of months down the road. Now you have a definitive goal and a definitive amount of time in which to reach that goal. There’s no backing out, and for me, that works like gold.
Personally, here in Boston in the bitter cold, the idea of swapping out my Snuggies for my workout clothes is akin to a fork in the eye. Anything that helps me get off the couch is welcomed.
And the best part? Photographic evidence of your achievement! You worked very hard to look so hot in that get up and now you can view it for yourself and for years to come.
