Embracing Motherhood: The Empowering Choice of a Boudoir Photoshoot After Having a Baby

Becoming a Mum is a transformative journey marked by love, sacrifice, and the profound changes your body undergoes to bring new life into the world.

In the craziness of sleepless nights and endless nappy changes, it's easy for mums to lose sight of their own identity and the incredible strength that accompanies this phase of life.

A boudoir photoshoot after having a baby is not just a good idea, it's a powerful and empowering choice that deserves celebration… Here are some great reasons why you should experience this after becoming a mum…

Photographs hold the power to freeze moments in time, capturing memories that last a lifetime. Among the many cherished photo opportunities, a 3 generations photoshoot stands out as a heartfelt and unique experience. The coming together of three generations - grandparents, parents, and children - provides an opportunity to celebrate the timeless bonds that shape our lives. There plenty of great reasons why a 3 generations photoshoot is a truly special and meaningful event for all families.

Boudoir isn’t the only style we do. A few years ago we started a Mum and Daughter Experience at Hazlewood Castle we have great pleasure in announcing we have just relaunched our Mum and Daughter Photoshoot Experience for Spring and for those who are not familiar with this, it’s a perfect excuse to spend some quality time together and create some lasting heirloom memories.

Hair and Makeup is provided and extra family members can join the shoot as well. Much of the shoot takes place outdoors if the weather is kind and we even provide a light lunch. Every Mum and Daughter Experience is customised completely around you and there’s no limit to your number of outfits. It’s a guaranteed fun day. Have a look at some of our past clients and their experiences below in this article.

Can you relate to the feeling of ‘Mum guilt’?

(i.e feeling bad when you spend money on yourself, not your children)

Over the years we have photographed hundreds of Mums.

Many of these Mums would often tell us that it would be hard to justify spending so much money just on themselves. They needed a better excuse than simple self indulgence. (Maybe they could justify it as a present for Dad )

These Mums constantly put themselves after their kids and after their partners.

In other words, these women accept themselves as third class citizens in their own household.

This is far more common than you might think.

It’s hard to spend money on yourself when you need to think of the family too! It feels selfish somehow. After all, every Mum wants the best for their kids and loves to treat the kids. The thought of prioritising themselves doesn’t seem right, somehow.

However, if you consistently neglect your own needs and wants, the impact it has on you can be dramatic and be negative for the whole family.

Pretty soon you will lose touch of who your really are and of of course, who you used to be. Our clients often tell us they feel like they’ve lost their identity and become a slave to the family.

Yet, Imagine what a powerful statement it will make to the kids if you come across as being happy with the way you look and being confident in your own skin. Some of that positivity about yourself will inspire them to be positive about themselves.

Since becoming a Mum have you been suffering from a serious case of lost identity?

Or maybe it’s a midlife crisis? Or a little Postnatal depression?

Maybe you’re feeling tired, like, all the time! You look in the mirror and feel like you’ve let yourself go a little. That Mummy tummy just won’t go away. Everyday you feel like you can’t finish the laundry or squeeze your butt into your jeans and you feel that all you are is ‘just a Mum’. You like you’re disappearing into nothing…

You used to care about how you looked. You ate well, exercised regularly, showered every day and put makeup on. You’d look at hashtags on Instagram like ‘outfits for Summer’ and pin cute outfits. Now, though, you wear hoodies and oversized sweaters and black and grey t-shirts. You grab your clothes off of the floor every morning and wear them again.

Does this sound like you?
