Let’s talk about a topic that’s come up many times in my profession – boudoir photography and the case of partners who might not be on board. As someone deeply passionate about helping women, men and couples embrace their beauty through boudoir sessions, I’ve encountered this scenario a couple times.
So, let’s unpack it.
Boudoir photography isn’t just about taking pretty pictures in lingerie. It’s so much more than that. But sometimes, when you mention boudoir to your partner, their reaction might be… let’s just say, unexpected.
The Reasons Behind It All
Historically, boudoir photography has been a space for self-expression and empowerment, dating back to the early 1920s when it challenged societal norms around women’s bodies and sensuality. Today, it’s evolved into a powerful tool for reclaiming our sensuality and celebrating individuality.
Now, why might your partner hesitate? Well, it could be a mix of things – maybe they’re worried about privacy, or they’ve got old-fashioned views about what’s appropriate. It’s natural for them to have concerns. But remember, boudoir is about you owning your narrative and feeling empowered in your own body.
How To Handle It
So, how do you navigate this conversation with your partner?
Communication is key, love.
Share why boudoir is important to you and how it’s a journey towards self-love. Reassure them about boundaries and privacy. Help them understand that this isn’t about seeking attention elsewhere but about celebrating your beauty in a way that makes you feel confident and empowered.
