10 Reasons you don't need a partner to do a Boudoir Session
Molly Blair of Seattle Boudoir & Company in Seattle, Washington shares why you don't need a partner to do a boudoir photography session.
Do you want to have a boudoir photography session but are hesitant because you're single? There is simply NO REASON for you to hold back. It is a common misconception that you need to have a partner to do a boudoir photography session which is not the case.
A boudoir session is a great opportunity for women to display their confidence while exploring their sensuality in an intimate setting. The most beneficial aspect of a boudoir shoot is what you get out of it — high self-worth and increased love for yourself. It truly is the best thing you can do for yourself.
There is nothing wrong with owning a photo of yourself that screams how utterly gorgeous you are. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with indulging in yourself.
We at Seattle Boudoir and Company can give you not just one but 10 reasons to get a boudoir photography session done and treat YOURSELF!

Ms. R
Body positive boudoir is about learning to love the person you are right now. When you not only accept the body you have but begin to truly love it you will walk with greater confidence.
As a boudoir photographer, it is important to me to showcase all women in beautiful photography sessions. Women come in all shapes and sizes. I wanted a confident woman who broke our social norms. I know there are women out there who want to have a boudoir session but they do not see other women outside of a size 6 showing off their skin. When I met the gorgeous Ms. R… I knew she was perfect.
Body Positive Boudoir Photography | Embrace the Woman You Are
Ms. R is so happy with the skin she is in. I knew she would shine as a body positive model. She is bold inside with a heart of gold. She is beautiful and radiant and her beauty and strength were shown in photo after photo. This boudoir session was more than just taking photos, it was about celebrating her body, her curves, her beauty and who she was.
Every day, embrace the woman you are, love the skin you are in, and truly care for yourself by providing positive, loving words to yourself. We all have aspects of ourselves we want to improve. Maybe it’s your hair. Maybe you don’t like your nose. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a better version of you! But every day you should hop out of bed with the intention of caring for yourself.
The key ingredient to being the best version of yourself is to love yourself the way you are now. When you love someone unconditionally, you love them just the way they are. Why are you not loving yourself unconditionally? Think, for a moment, about the conversations that you have with yourself. Would you be friends with someone who talked to you the way you talk to yourself? Be gentle with yourself. Choose to speak to yourself kindly. Honor your curves. All bodies are beautiful no matter how big or how small.
Boudoir shoots are so much about trust. You have to be ready to let go of your inhibitions and trust that I am going to see you in the eyes of an artist. As your boudoir photographer, I am going to shed the best light on your body. But with all that said, things do happen. We have wardrobe malfunctions! That’s okay! The best thing to do is laugh it off. You have to realize that whatever bloopers happen during your photo shoot, it has probably happened before.
I believe confidence exudes beauty. Find out what makes you feel like a million buck and do that until you start feeling like a rock star. And, of course, speaking of rock stars, thank you to Ms. R for her fierce, real beauty and for being such an inspiration to curvy girls everywhere.
