25 Reasons to Book a Boudoir Photoshoot in 2025

When I say I photograph boudoir, one of the most common things I hear is:

“I’ve always wanted to do that, but have never felt young/skinny/pretty/good enough.”

and that, dear reader, breaks my heart.

I’ve been photographing women for more than a decade, and I understand how difficult and scary it can be to step in front of the camera, especially for a photoshoot like this.

Over the past decade, I have had the honor of photographing hundreds of women for so many reasons. In an effort to encourage you to finally do the scary thing (although I promise, just booking this is the scary part — you may be surprised by how much fun your photoshoot will be!),

here are some of the reasons my clients have booked their photoshoot, in case they inspire you to book your own self love photoshoot in 2025:

1. because you want to feel more confident
2. because you want to see yourself in a new light
3. because you are turning 30
4. because you are turning 50
5. because you are turning 80
6. so you can show your grandkids hot photos of yourself from when you were younger (even though you will be, of course, still a total hottie)
7. because you just got a new job/promotion/award/achievement
8. because you gained weight
9. because you lost weight
10. because you are getting married
11. because you are getting divorced
12. because you survived cancer
13. because you just got diagnosed, and you want to document your body before cancer
14. because you want to pamper yourself
15. because you want to have fun
16. because you want — no, need — to reconnect with yourself
17. because you are going to have a baby
18. because you just had a baby
19. because you have babies and you have not spent enough time on yourself because of said babies
20. because you want to decorate your home with art of your own self
21. because you want to embrace your so-called “flaws”
22. because you want to wear that super sexy lingerie/dress/shoes/whatever that has been hiding in your closet
23. because you want to step out of your comfort zone and try something new
24. because you have always wanted to and it’s about damn time
25. because you exist.

What will your reason be?
