Can a name stigmatize an experience?
I get people who say, "Oh, I don't think I'm the type of person to do a boudoir session. It's just not me."
Then, I tell them it will be an experience they can make all their own. “You can wear your favorite dress. You can wear nothing at all. You can be in the ocean or on a mountain. You can be rolling around in a bed or the dirt.”
I say it over and over and over…THESE SESSIONS ARE MORE THAN JUST NUDE PHOTOS OF YOURSELF.
It’s freedom.
It’s a way to find yourself.
It’s a way to forget some of yourself.
It’s a way to claim something you might have lost or find something you didn’t know you were searching for.
It’s a gift that I think everyone should not only give to themselves, but something they truly deserve.
What if, instead of “boudoir”, we called it “liberation”? Freedom from your own self-doubting thoughts. A way to discover what empowers YOU.
Let's take back the word "boudoir" and name it whatever the hell we want.
