A Boudoir Client’s Perspective: Feel Your Best with Boudoir

Are you ready to feel your best? 

If so, consider a boudoir photography session. Women across all walks of life are reaping the benefits of boudoir photography, including feeling their best!

But first, what is boudoir photography? The word “boudoir” comes from the french word referring to a woman’s bedroom or private room. Boudoir photography is a niche form of photography traditionally documenting women in intimate and sensual settings (ie. bedroom) that accentuates their beauty. At Show Your Spark, we take it a step farther and seek to highlight each client’s inner beauty along with their outer beauty.   

Many misconceptions about boudoir photography exist, including the idea that a woman must already feel confident when she books a session. But this idea couldn’t be further from the truth. Did you know that at the end of their session, our clients feel more confident than they did when they entered the studio? 

Not sure you believe this? Listen to this Spark Alumni’s experience at our studio, Show Your Spark, located in Braintree, MA. We think you will be encouraged and inspired by her words.

“Pushed Back Into the Closet”

I am a 40-year-old mother of two and recently divorced. A lifetime ago in college, I had the most loving passionate relationship with a woman. I didn’t have the most accepting coming-out story. My 21-year-old people-pleasing self allowed other people’s reactions to push me back into the closet. I broke up with my girlfriend and broke my own heart. Our compulsory heteronormative society convinced me that I was bisexual but better off with a man. I married the man who turned out to be my best friend and am so thankful for our 16 years and two babies together. But, my whole life there has always been a whisper. 

“It Had Always Been Her”

As time went on that whisper became a shout and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. In May of 2022, I went to my college reunion and reunited with the love of my life and realized it had always been her. So here we are, 18 months later, and she’s moved to the US to allow for our love story to really begin. Oh yeah, did I mention she’s from Scotland and we’ve been in an international long-distance relationship for 18 months? Lesbians…am I right? 😉

“Excited to Do Something Just for Me.”

I was drawn to work with Lindsay because I adore her.  I’ve worked with her through my role at DOVE. When I met her, I instantly felt comfortable enough to consider having a Spark Session. I was so excited to do something just for me.

“The Reasons I Wanted to Cancel Were the Reasons I Needed To Do This.”

Leading up to the session, I was beyond nervous. I also almost canceled about 10 times. I felt I shouldn’t spend the money or take time away from my kids. However, I realized all the reasons I wanted to cancel were the reasons I needed to do this.

“I Felt Gorgeous.”

My favorite moment was when Lindsay showed me a sneak peek on her camera during my shoot. I couldn’t believe it was me!  I felt gorgeous and it totally boosted my confidence.

I texted my partner the words “I am hot”  during my reveal and I meant it. I know she sees it but for the first time in a very long time, I did too. I didn’t immediately look at my “problem areas.” I was able to admire myself and feel confident. That feeling has stuck with me.

“Looking at the Me That Always Quietly Knew Who She Was.”

Looking back at the experience the photos that mean the most to me are the photos where I am looking away. I feel like I’m looking at the me that always quietly knew who she was. She sits patiently waiting for the moment when we are ready to own who we are.
