Ms D’s Bridal Boudoir Empowerment Session / McKinney, TX / Boudoir by Erin

There are times in life when everything about you seems to be falling apart. Your confidence takes a plunge, you aren't happy with your body, someone has said something that they didn't realize would trigger your overthinking. You've been going to the gym constantly trying to get "wedding ready" but just can't see the results and you wonder if it's even worth it. You have people telling you constantly that you look different, more muscular, or look like your losing weight but you just don't see it. This was me. Every time I looked in the mirror I couldn't see what others did, I couldn't see the hard work that I was putting in. After the session with Erin, I saw it. Erin was an amazing cheerleader and made me feel beautiful and confident in myself. I still go to the gym to workout, but now I feel like it will be okay when my wedding day comes around. I am "wedding ready" right now, just as I am, because I am already beautiful. Thank you, Erin and Jaimee!

Boudoir Sessions Are For Single Ladies Also

There seems to be a common misconception when it comes to Boudoir photography. While tasteful beautiful seductive images DO make great gifts for your significant other, you do not need to be in a relationship or married to have a session. Boudoir sessions are more than just a photo shoot, they are an experience. And every female deserves to enjoy this experience at least once in their lifetime.

Ms L’s Boudoir Empowerment Session / McKinney, TX / Boudoir by Erin

Where did she go? Where did that spontaneous girl who chased adventure go? Where is that woman who knew she was sensual and sexy no matter what she was wearing? Where is that woman they called "intimidating" because she beamed with confidence?

She's right here Mama. She just stepped aside to let you shine. She knew that you had to be something for other people for a little while and that you had to grow. She knew that you had little ones to take care of. She knew that you had a husband who needed you. She knew that you missed her but she let you shine for a little while. See, you haven't changed; not that much anyways. You're still the same wild and free spirited girl at heart, you've just grown into a woman. A woman who can be both. A woman who can be a mom and wife but who can still be wild and free and adventurous. Never let that adventure die. Never let that confidence die. You're still the same, Mama. Just a more beautiful version of yourself. You've battled through this life and faced more than you ever thought possible. You've grown into a warrior. You are powerful and beautiful and sexy. And you CAN be it all. Never forget who you are, Mama! Do things that make you remember. Things that make you happy. Take the risks. Find the adventures. That's where you find yourself. Love yourself just as much as you love your family. This body MADE that family. Love it at every stage. This body has been your armor. Don't forget to shine it back up every now and then. And to all the other mama's not sure about yourself or who you are anymore.... go find her! She's waiting 🥰

Ryan’s Dudoir Session / McKinney, TX / Boudoir by Erin

Ryan came into the studio for the first time after seeing a post on Facebook looking for males wanting to do a male boudoir session. He was pretty nervous considering he was going to take some sexy photos. Ladies I don’t think we realize men have body image issues just like women do. They worry about their looks and bodies like we do as well. He is wanting his wife to do a session as well so he figured he would help give her confidence to do it if he was brave enough to do a session himself. He was awesome at doing the poses and things I wanted for getting awesome shots. Take a look at his review of his session.

Learning to love the body you are in

As a boudoir photographer myself I spend my day empowering women and helping them see a side of themselves they don’t see. Women are assholes to themselves and we have a hard time just loving our bodies. I am not excluded in that feeling and struggle with my body and self image daily.

I know what you may be thinking. “Is this a real thing??” The answer to that is, ABSOLUTELY! Is your body in the “ideal” perfect shape? No. But in my opinion, the fact that you are caring a human inside of you does in fact mean that it IS in the perfect shape! Women were built for doing this. This is one thing that we can do that no man can. And it is a beautiful, beautiful thing!
