Many women feel intimidated by the idea of doing a boudoir session because they think it's "not for them." At Beauty in Boudoir, we believe that boudoir is for every woman, no matter what she looks like.
Despite our personal take on the matter, it's still true that when you search boudoir inspiration photos, you often see the same types of women pictured over and over again. This is why we think it's important to talk about diversity in boudoir.
Embracing Diversity in Boudoir and Why It Matters
When you look up the history of boudoir, you'll find lots of references to 1940s pinup photos. Most of these images feature thin, traditionally beautiful white women.
However, the boudoir industry has changed, and there are many photographers encouraging their clients to celebrate what makes their bodies unique—be it scars, stretch marks, size, or skin color.
While the beauty industry has come a long way in the past decade or so when it comes to diversity, many women are still under-represented in magazines and other mainstream cosmetics and fashion content. Breaking through common stereotypes in beauty is one of our main focus' here at Beauty In Boudoir.
While a boudoir session won't fix that problem, it does give you an opportunity to see yourself in ways that perhaps you haven't had the chance to before.
Everyone deserves to feel empowered and beautiful in their body, and we're here to support you on that journey, whatever that means for you!
