Boudoir photoshoot
A boudoir photoshoot takes a little courage. Afterwards, what I hear most often is that it was worth it. You set the boundaries, and I make sure it stays safe and calm.
“Has she no shame?” We’ve heard it hundreds of times. Sometimes outright, sometimes between the lines: in a remark about a skirt that’s too short, in a look on the beach, in a sentence tossed across the family table. And we carry it for years, as a quiet belief that we have to cover our own body and apologize for it.
A boudoir photoshoot is my way of saying goodbye to that shame. I don’t take these photos for someone who is going to judge them. I take them for you, so that every now and then you can look at yourself more kindly and more attentively than you do in the daily rush.
The hardest part is the first step: writing a message, choosing a date, crossing the threshold. Almost every woman tells me the same thing afterwards, that she was afraid right up to the last moment, and the only thing she regrets is not booking sooner.
The photos are made in an intimate space, without an audience and without rushing. You set the range: from a shirt and bedsheets to lingerie and stronger light. You can change it at any moment, even in the middle of the session. I make sure nothing happens faster than you’re ready for.
“I have a catalog of things I never did in life because I lacked the courage. Sometimes the big kind, sometimes the smallest. The lack of the big kind I’m less ashamed of, but those small undone things I both regret and feel ashamed of.”
- Mikolaj Grynberg, “The Year I Didn’t Die”
I don’t want a session like this to stay in your catalog of undone things. If you’re thinking about it, write to me. I’ll tell you how the preparation looks and what to do to feel good during it.
