What is Body Positive Boudoir? | Houston Boudoir Divas
Boudoir photography has gained popularity over the last few years. It’s easy to look at examples of these bold, confident, beautiful women and think, “Wow I could never do that!” Our culture would like us to think boudoir photography is only for models or women with “perfect” bodies. Well, let me fill you in on a little secret: There’s no such thing as perfect! We are all unique and beautiful in our own ways, and the women you see in these boudoir examples are real women with real bodies just like you. The secret to their confidence is a body-positive mentality!
“You’ve been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”
Louise Hay
At Houston Boudoir Divas, we want to redefine boudoir photography. Body positive boudoir is an unparalleled experience that will help you to see yourself the way others see you—gorgeous, sexy, and powerful. It’s also a way to express yourself and celebrate what makes you, you! Body-positive boudoir is so much more than a sensual gift for someone (although you can certainly do that as well!). It is a way to embrace the woman you are today, perfect imperfections and all.
How to Embrace Body-Positive Boudoir Photography
Contents
1. Celebrate Milestones & Achievements
Looking for a playful and unique way to celebrate your 40th birthday or a job promotion? Express your inner goddess with a boudoir photoshoot. You are powerful, and you have persevered through the good and the bad. A body positive boudoir photoshoot is an extraordinary way to document your success and completely take in your impressive accomplishments.
2. Appreciate Your Body
As we age and go through different life stages, our bodies change in so many ways—weight fluctuates, wrinkles form, and skin loses elasticity. No one is immune to body changes. Social media would like us to believe that these elements are flaws that need fixing. However, we know that the blemishes we may get along the way are actually battle scars that demonstrate strength and perseverance.
Think about all the incredible things your body has accomplished! Maybe you’ve had children, suffered through an illness, run a marathon, dealt with a loss, shattered glass ceilings in your career, or traveled around the world. No matter what you have gone through in life, your body is the amazing vessel that’s made it possible. With a body-positive boudoir experience, you will be able to celebrate all that your body has done for you and express yourself in a way that builds confidence. It’s about time to make time for yourself.
3. Your Body is Ready
Enough said. Sometimes when I bring up boudoir photography, women often respond with things like, “No, I should lose 10 pounds, and then I’ll be able to book a session.” However, there is no need to try and change yourself before we begin your transformative experience. Your body is sensational just the way it is! Our styling team is there to help illuminate your best features with professional hair and makeup services. All you need to do is pick out your favorite lingerie pieces that make you feel stunning, fierce, and glamorous. In several years, you will look back on these photos as a reminder of this special time in your life. The photos will show your confidence, and the small imperfections will seem completely irrelevant.
4. Treat Yo’self!
These days, many of us are working from home and living in casual athleticwear (myself included!) Doing our hair and makeup and getting dressed up is reserved for special occasions. Whether we are mothers and/or busy working full-time, we often put others’ needs first and forget about our own self-care. A boudoir photoshoot can be a special treat! I promise you’ll have a ton of fun while you’re at it (again, this is as much for yourself as anyone else.) Go ahead and flaunt your features and bring your sexy back! You work hard every day, and you deserve a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and empowered.

A body positive boudoir photo session can be a special gift for your significant other; but more importantly, it is an extraordinary gift to yourself.
