When people think of boudoir photography, they usually picture younger women. The reality is, boudoir is for everyone! In fact, clients decide to do boudoir over 50 shoots all the time.
If you're on the fence about doing a boudoir shoot because of your age, here are some things to keep in mind.
Boudoir Isn't Just About Being Sexy
Boudoir has a reputation for being super sexual and provocative. A lot of people associate it with young brides who want to give photos as gifts to their husbands, or bold women who want to do something adventurous.
Boudoir can be those things, but it's so much more. It originally came about as an art style focused on the female form. Early boudoir photographers weren't necessarily trying to get their models to look sexy.
Instead, boudoir is really about celebrating your body how it is. It's a great way to boost your self-confidence and even combat anxiety.
Your boudoir album can be just for you, and you can choose outfits that are more about showcasing your personality than stripping down.
That said, there’s nothing to stop you from doing a sexy shoot, especially your age. Doing a boudoir shoot later in life can help you find your old spark and reconnect with your sensual side.
A Photo Shoot Helps Preserve Important Memories
50 is a significant milestone for a lot of women. Doing something to acknowledge how far you've come in life can help you capture the magic of this time.
After your boudoir shoot, you'll have the chance to put together a custom heirloom box or album to keep your favorite photos in. You'll always have this keepsake to look back on and remember who you were at this age.
A Boudoir Session Is Perfect for Celebrating Transitions
At this stage in your life, you might be making a lot of changes. Perhaps your kids are moving out and you're embracing empty-nester life. Or maybe you've experienced a divorce and are trying to rebuild your relationship with yourself before diving back into dating.
You could be making breakthroughs in your career or switching directions entirely and starting a new project. Whatever the change, a boudoir session is a fun way to celebrate the new you and mark the occasion.
