Is It Wrong To Want Pictures Of Me On The Wall?

Written By Dave Sander

I honestly would say to anyone, go and do it!

Just to feel special, empowered, sexy, and fantastic.

Everyone deserves a day where you come away feeling all of those things.

As for the photos themselves, the quality is excellent.

It’s an investment.

My husband and I bought a beautiful photo book and a large metal picture for the bedroom, both of which I love.

I’m proud to show the photos to my young daughters so that they know what a healthy body image looks like and I’m so glad I now have this lasting memory of a great day! … Nicola

So many clients tell us they love their pictures. However, so many are reluctant to display those pictures on the walls.

They are more than happy to create an amazing book of all their favourites and pretty much every clients ends up with a book. Yet, why not have something to proudly display on the walls of your home?

Women feel a little narcissistic when they show themselves off like that. It feels wrong somehow. It shouldn’t be though. It should be something to be proud of, being happy with who you are. Imagine what a powerfully positive message this sends out to the kids. Mum is happy with who she is and proud of it. It’s healthy for them to have such a positive role model.

Think of the positivity you’re allowing yourself as well. What could be more healthy than looking at pictures of yourself and feeling a sense of pride.

No. more negativity, no more holding your head down in public.

As Faye told us HERE : “My confidence now, after this experience, is so much more amazing. No more do I walk down the street with my head down low. It’s now held high and I own that pavement!”

Why do we often think “I don’t want my kids to see me in this way.” ?

Why!?

Why can’t we be proud of our bodies and our sexuality? Show our children that it is NORMAL to be happy with our bodies and not ashamed.

What message does being ashamed of the way we look send out to the kids?

It’s far more positive to show amazing pictures on the wall than to hid them away.

This is one of reasons why Boudoir can be so empowering. You can own your body and be totally comfortable and confident in your own skin.

Artistic pictures of yourself are an investment. Show them off with pride and feel how confident you will become every time you see them on the walls.

“All of the prints have taken pride of place around our house. The giant canvas hangs above our Bed and the other pictures are dotted all around the house. All of them add to the house and bring a smile to our face when we see them”… Emily and Craig

14 Questions You May Be Too Embarrassed To Ask Your Boudoir Photographer.

Are you considering booking a Boudoir Photoshoot but feeling a little unsure about what to expect or what to ask?

Don't worry, you're not alone.

We’ve been photographing women for a long time (around 20 years), and probably seen and heard it all. As fun as boudoir certainly is, it's still not every day that women get to shed their clothes in front a photographer they really don't know. So this can often lead to a lot of anxiety in the run up to the shoot day.

Also, due to the intimate nature of this style of photography, potential clients may have questions about the process, that might be awkward or may seem a bit personal to ask.

This is why we’ve compiled a list of questions you may have been wondering about boudoir, but were a bit embarrassed to ask. so let's get started.

A Yorkshire Boudoir Experience Is All About YOU

In a world where the media often emphasises the importance of romantic relationships, it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that certain experiences are only truly fulfilling when shared with a partner.

One such misconception revolves around boudoir photography sessions and gifting it to a partner.

However, the truth is that you don’t need a partner to indulge in a boudoir session.

In fact, we’d argue that every session should be looked at as a solo session.

To reward yourself, to do it specifically for you.

If you have a partner, maybe show them the images…But make no mistake, this is all about YOU!

Don’t ever think you have to gift an experience or the images from a boudoir experience to anyone but yourself.

But why might you want to do something like this for yourself?…

Why We Don’t Do Traditional Boudoir
Why We Don’t Do Traditional Boudoir

In ‘traditional boudoir’, some sort of lingerie is often involved.

What if you don’t like lingerie?

Well, Here at Madison Bou Photography we’re rewriting the rules. We believe that every woman deserves to feel empowered and confident in her own skin, without conforming to outdated standards of beauty. That's why we've made it our mission to create a space where women can truly be themselves and celebrate their unique beauty in all its forms.

We say, “wear whatever you want to wear.”

This kind of thinking opens a lot more doors creatively.

By encouraging our clients to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable and confident, Whether it's a glamorous gown, a cozy sweater, or literally, nothing at all, the choice is entirely theirs. True beauty lies in authenticity, and that's exactly what we strive to capture in every photo we take.

So, when choosing your outfits for a boudoir experience, think about what you feel good wearing.

This experience is all about you, after all, so ask yourself “what outfits makes you feel more confident? What outfits make you feel more beautiful?”

(Oh, and no ‘negative talk’ like….. “I DON’T FEEL BEAUTIFUL IN ANYTHING” …. That kind of talk is prohibited around here :-)

Our approach to boudoir photography is all about celebrating diversity and individuality. Every body is beautiful, regardless of shape, size, or age. That's why we work closely with each of our clients to ensure that their unique personality shines through in every image.

From playful and flirty to bold and daring, we celebrate the full spectrum of femininity in all its glory.

So why settle for "traditional" boudoir when you can have something so much more meaningful?
