10 Reasons to get your loved one a Boudoir Session as a Gift - 6/14/16

Happy Tuesday!

I've given reasons as to why you should do boudoir, but for those of you who who have a loved one who wants to do boudoir and has always considered but never done it--giving them the gift of their own session finally happening is in my (perhaps biased) opinion--an incredibly thoughtful act and an invaluable gift.

Today's post is one of those classic "ten reasons why" posts, but I think Boudoir is a gift option that is often overlooked.

1. It's a gift that keeps on giving. She will not only get her photographs for herself, but she can share how beautiful she is with others. We love seeing our favorite people in our lives happy and feeling their best, not to mention confident. 
2. She wants to do it, but has some hangups. Perhaps she is nervous, concerned about expense, or she is unsure about her body. Of course, these are very common reasons as to why someone is hesitant about boudoir, and none of these reasons are truly a barrier to actually getting the session done. Regardless of her reason, getting her that session will help her finally just go and do it.
3. It's a luxury, pampering treatment. While I do believe that Boudoir is something of a life-passage for every woman and preach relentlessly that every woman should do it at least once in her lifetime, Boudoir Photography is not necessarily deemed a necessity. Weddings, senior, and family photos are considered staple memories to capture, and boudoir seems very optional next to those moments. However, treating yourself and your loved ones well is extremely important. They may have never considered boudoir, and that's okay. Boudoir is what you make it and we try so hard to push for that experience of making a woman feel beautiful, special, and loved. If you want to give your friend or partner something that makes them feel like a rockstar, boudoir is perfect. It's right up there with going to the spa or getting a massage.
4. She's celebrating a milestone. Perhaps she reached a weight loss goal, got a new job, it's her birthday, or she just had a baby....whatever the reason, boudoir is a great reason to celebrate. 
5. She needs a confidence boost. We all have crappy times in our lives when we feel like nothing is going right, we're not happy with how we look, and we just wish things were better. Boudoir is such a great reminder to a person of how wonderful and beautiful they are. It makes a great pick-me-up for any woman, and perhaps this is just the thing for your loved one to feel amazing through troubled times.
6. You want to celebrate this woman with friends. Perhaps your girlfriend is getting married (best bachelorette party ever) or it's her birthday...whatever, you want to celebrate this woman and all get boudoir done together and have fun and look amazing. We offer boudoir parties for this! 
7. She is selfless, and would never consider doing this for herself. I know a lot of hard-working, ambitious women who do a lot for other people and never themselves. This is a great way to thank her for being awesome and to take some time for herself.
8. She needs an excuse to get dolled up. I've had friends who get new shoes they'll never wear. or their jobs don't allow for them to dress up and be feminine. Of course, there is never an excuse needed for looking fabulous. Now she can. 
9. You've had boudoir done and you recommend it. Pass on the joy to another woman you think should have the same fantastic experience you did. You deserved it, and so does she.
10. Why the hell not? Really, though.

You really don't need a reason to give someone a gift this awesome, but perhaps you know someone who can relate to any of the above points, and you want to do something special for them.
