6 Boudoir Excuses Holding You Back

Alright, listen, I see you over there, peeking at boudoir photos like it’s your guilty pleasure but then immediately telling yourself “nah, not me.” Cute. But also? Lies. Absolute lies. Let’s crack open a glass of wine & drag those excuses out into the light, because they’re flimsy AF & you know it.


“I could never get naked in front of a stranger”

First of all, you don’t have to get naked. You can wear a sweater, a leather jacket, or hell, a whole gown if you want. Boudoir isn’t about stripping down; it’s about choice. And by the time you’re in my studio, I’m not a stranger anymore. I’m basically your biggest hype girl that just happens to have a camera. Then our time will fly by while we’re laughing & having fun.

“I have no one to gift this to”

Oh, stop. You have you. That’s the gift. Sure, partners drool over boudoir albums, but seriously, flipping through your own photos & thinking, “damn, that’s me?” is next-level self-love. You don’t need a reason beyond that. Future you will be so appreciative.

 

“I don’t know how to be sexy”

Good. Sexy isn’t a performance. It’s not pouty lips & arched backs unless that’s your vibe. It’s you, existing in your own skin. And newsflash: I direct every pose, every glance, every smirk. You just show up, I do the heavy lifting.

 

“I need to lose weight first”

If I had a dollar for every time I heard this, I’d own a beach house by now. You don’t need to shrink yourself to be worthy of celebrating yourself. Your body, right now, as-is, is already art. And guess what? And babe, your own body is already giving main character energy… you just haven’t noticed it yet.

“I don’t have time”

Mhm. And when exactly do you think life slows down? Spoiler: it doesn’t. This is about stealing a few hours just for you, because honestly, if you don’t put yourself on your own calendar, no one else is going to. Then before you know it, you’re running yourself into the ground.

 

“I don’t have anything to wear”

Lies. You absolutely do. Lingerie? Optional. Your partner’s shirt, a killer dress, a cozy sweater, or even just sheets. And bam, you’re styled! Plus, I help with wardrobe ideas & have a full Client Closet at the studio. So don’t even try me with this one.

So there you have it. Your top excuses, roasted & dismantled. The truth is they’re not protecting you; they’re just stalling you from stepping into something that could change the way you show up for yourself & in your life. And babe, isn’t it about time you called your own bluff?
