Joy is sensual
And I'm no comedy genius , this comes from feeling safe enough to let the walls fall and the ultimate compliment.
When you think of boudoir photography, what comes to mind?
Usually, it’s a very specific formula: perfectly dim lighting, silk sheets, seductress mode on and those sultry, direct-to-camera "bedroom eyes." Is it beautiful? Absofuckinglutely!.
There is a revolution happening amongst women, a gorgeous revolution that involves taking control of the narrative, of how we aer perceived by ourselves and letting go of its imposed upon us, sometimes this sounds like a full-bellied, head-thrown-back, unapologetic laugh out loud.
And although some may say that energy doesn't belong in the world of Boudoir photography I personally adore it and lean into it, the truth is seductress mode on and the big LOL aren't mutually exclusive and coexist beautifully.
Why do I love to keep these candid overjoyed, walls down portraits in your session?
A polite, closed-mouth smile is often performative. It’s what we do when we want to look pleasant for someone else. But a snorting, eyes-crinkled, toothy grin? That is entirely uncurated. When you let go and laugh hysterically during a shoot, it signals that you are completely comfortable in your own skin. The narrative instantly shifts from “am I desirable to a viewer?” to “I am feeling safe in my skin, absolutely comfortable and experiencing pure, radiant joy within myself.” That's sexy AF.
"Imperfection" is Liberation (I may need to get this tattooed haha)
When you laugh freely, you don't look curated, and thats the magic sauce, that chin doubling, the skinny eyes, the hair going rogue
those "imperfections" are what makes it irresistible, they celebrates a body alive, dare I say it , a body experiencing pleasure, rather than a static object on display.
