If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “is boudoir for me?” — this blog post is for you. Because here’s the truth: there are so many subtle, sneaky signs you’re long overdue for a boudoir shoot, and you probably don’t even know it! Boudoir isn’t just for women with matching lingerie sets or effortless confidence. It’s for the women who’ve spent too long putting everyone else first. The ones who’ve forgotten what it feels like to take up space — not just in a room, but in their own damn story.
Let’s cut the crap for a second
You’ve probably seen boudoir shoots floating around online. With the perfect lighting, arching backs and lingerie that looks like it costs more than your monthly food shop.
And maybe you thought, “Yeah, not for me.”
Maybe you told yourself boudoir was for women who have their shit together. For women who glow from the inside out, drink green juice, and still have energy at the end of the day. Definitely not for women with overflowing laundry baskets, stretch marks, and a voice in their head that sounds more like a critic than a cheerleader.
But here’s the thing: that’s exactly who boudoir is for
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being fucking done with waiting for perfect.
It’s about saying:
This is me, as I am, right now and that ENOUGH!
Most of the women who walk into a boudoir session with me aren’t doing it because they feel sexy.
They’re doing it because they’ve forgotten what sexy even feels like. They’re burnt out, overstretched, overgiving, and under-celebrated.
Some have spent years raising families, climbing careers, or navigating breakups, surviving grief, juggling expectations, while their own needs, wants, and bodies slowly faded into the background.
Sound familiar?
You don’t need a “good enough” reason to book a shoot. But if you’re sitting there waiting for a sign, here are TEN…
1. You don’t recognise yourself anymore — and that’s not a metaphor.
You look in the mirror and see… someone tired. Someone who’s holding it together. Someone who used to feel more alive. A boudoir shoot helps you reconnect with that version of you you’ve buried under everyone else’s priorities.
2. You think confidence is something other women have.
Let’s be blunt. Confidence isn’t a size. It’s not an achievement you unlock once you “fix” all your flaws. It’s a muscle. You build it by doing brave shit before you feel ready. Boudoir is one hell of a rep.
3. Your relationship with your body is… complicated.
Maybe you’re angry with it. Or you’ve ignored it, and maybe you don’t even know how to feel about it anymore. A shoot won’t magically fix everything, but it will give you a new lens — literally and emotionally.
4. You keep waiting for the right time.
When I lose 10 lbs.
When I get a tan.
When I feel more like myself.
Spoiler: that mythical “right time” doesn’t exist. All that’s happening is time is passing, and you’re still putting yourself on hold.
5. You’ve hit a milestone, but haven’t stopped to breathe.
You’ve been through something. Started something. Closed a chapter. Reinvented yourself. Or maybe just survived a year that almost broke you. Boudoir is a way to mark that — not with a dinner out, but with something that stays.
6. You’re constantly pouring from an empty cup.
You show up for everyone else — the partner, the kids, the job, the dog, the friends. When’s the last time someone showed up for you? A boudoir shoot is an act of rebellion against the idea that you always have to be the caretaker.
7. You want to feel beautiful, but you’re afraid to admit it.
Wanting to feel sexy, powerful, magnetic — it doesn’t make you vain. It makes you human. You don’t need permission to take up space and want to be seen.
8. You think you’re “not photogenic.”
Every woman who has said this to me ends up with photos that take her breath away. The problem isn’t you — it’s that you’ve never been photographed in a way that shows you how the rest of us see you. That’s about to change.
9. You’ve outgrown your old self, but aren’t sure who this new version is yet.
Transitions are messy. Motherhood, career shifts, breakups, burnout — it’s easy to feel unmoored. A boudoir session isn’t just about photos. It’s a fucking declaration: “I’m still here. Still worthy. Still mine.”
10. You’re still reading this.
That quiet voice inside you? The one that says, “Could I do this?” — that’s your sign. You don’t need more proof. You just need to listen to her, and she’s calling you to reach out HERE!
