I believe boudoir is for every woman. Boudoir images are for YOU to celebrate who you are, embrace where you are in life, and enjoy the skin you’re in. No matter your life stage or relationship status, no matter your pre or post kids body, no matter how far you feel you have to go; boudoir is for you. Here’s my top 10 reasons to experience boudoir.


1. To Be Pampered

Ultimately, the best reason to experience a boudoir session is for yourself! When’s the last time you took the time to take a moment for you? As women, wives, mothers, nurturers, and friends, we often spend our days taking care of others; and boudoir offers a safe space set aside just for you to be loved, empowered, and pampered.


2. To Discover a New Kind of Confidence

Feeling confident in your own skin can seem impossible. Showcasing your beauty and feeling like a rockstar is something that we don’t set aside time for in our day-to-day lives, so let’s prioritize feeling great about ourselves!


3. For an Excuse to Buy New Lingerie

Let’s be honest – how many times have you shopped online and added lingerie to your cart and never pulled the trigger, because you don’t “have any reason for it”? Well, now you do! You’re welcome.


4. Because It’s Fun

Although everyone gets nervous when they show up to their session, I guarantee those fears will disappear when you get your hair and makeup done, drink champagne, blast Beyonce, and pretend to be a lingerie model. Scratch that, you ARE a lingerie model.


5. To See Yourself From a New Perspective

A boudoir session will give you a glimpse at the ways other people see you! We are our own worst critic and focus on what’s negative about ourselves, specifically our bodies, but ladies, I’m here to celebrate your beauty! Every woman is unique and brings their own kind of sexy to their boudoir session.


6. For Your Person…

Boudoir is such an intimate experience– and who better to share it with than your other half? Pro Tip: After your session, consider ordering prints. Prints can be small gems to find throughout the day, as a bookmark or hidden in a suitcase, for your love to find.


7. …or More Specifically, For Your Fiance

Getting married soon? A surprise boudoir album is proved to be the best wedding gift before the big day. Let them know you’re thinking of them.


8. Because Life is Changing

We all experience changes in life, some are exciting and welcomed while others are scary and uncertain. I believe taking time for yourself in times of transition is crucial. If you’re in a time of transition, relationally, physically, emotionally, or literally in any other way, boudoir is a beautiful way to center yourself and find confidence.


9. To Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

In a rut? Does your 9-5 leave you feeling defeated, exhausted, and just done? Well, come on over! We’ll give you a mimosa, make you feel like a badass boss lady, and allow that feeling to overflow into the other areas of your life.


10. Just Because

The truth is, I don’t believe you need a reason to experience a boudoir session, but you have to feel it in your soul that you’re ready. So when the time comes, I’ll be here.


Boudoir sessions in Johannesburg and surrounds can be done at your home, or we can book a beautiful hotel or AirBnb in the area and create something luxurious.
