Boudoir by Tonya Nikole | www.tonyanikole.com

I know what you’re going to say….

I need to lose weight first

I am not a model

It’s selfish to spend money on myself

Im single

I know the million and one excuses you will use to justify not doing a session like this for yourself….

So i’m going to give you 5 reasons why you NEED to do a boudoir photo shoot… now!

REASON #1 : FORCES YOU OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Yes girl! You heard me. It forces you to step out of your comfort zone. I know this is probably on the list of reasons why you don’t want to do a boudoir session. but I’m telling you its the reason why you should! You can never change if you aren’t pushing for something more, pushing yourself to do the uncomfortable incredible things like a boudoir photography session. A photo shoot as intimate as a boudoir session, forces you to be vulnerable and REAL. It forces you to live your truth, even if it’s only for 2 hours. A boudoir photography session will help you grow in the most beautiful way sis. So thats why this made my list. Nothing good ever comes out of staying in your comfort zone…. remember that.

REASON #2: YOU WILL SEE YOURSELF IN A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

As women, we are always so harsh on ourselves. Always focusing on the so called ‘flaws’ , always picking at our imperfections. We are the first to say something negative about ourselves and our bodies. Well doing a boudoir photo shoot will change that real fast. Getting to see yourself as someone else views you, getting to see yourself the way your partner views you. It is an incredible feeling, let me tell you. When you can look in the mirror and the first thing you notice about yourself is something positive , your whole world will change. And that is the feeling you will get after you slay your boudoir session. So f*ck the extra 10 pounds, mama! Let me show you how gorgeous you are. let me help you view yourself as we all view you.

REASON #3: THAT CONFIDENCE BOOST GIRL

Every women that comes into my studio and puts her trust in me always leaves feeling more confident. Thats just a fact guys! Getting glammed up by my amazing team of artists, changing into your styled outfits, with Beyonce playing in the background. Who wouldn’t feel like a queen? When i’m posing you in these sexy poses, showing you the back of the camera shots you will feel yourself just come alive. and it doesn’t end there, when you get your products back whether its an 8x8 custom album or a 16x20 luxury print. You will have these amazing images to look back on for the rest of your life, and you will relive that feeling again. and again, and be able to remind yourself of the queen you truly are.

REASON #4: YOU ARE WORTH IT

You are worth it. PERIOD. you are worth the money. you are worth the time. you are worthy of this experience. Us, as women we go our entire lives, being there for other people. giving your all to your children, your husband, your family, your job, your friendships. Doing a boudoir photo shoot is doing something for your damn self for once. TREAT YO SELF girl, because you deserve it. Think of it as self care, you cannot pour from an empty cup, mama.

REASON #5: IT MAKES A GREAT GIFT

Whether you’re engaged, married for 25 years, single, married for one year, divorced *haiii. If you took a new job, moved to a new city, going through a hard time, lost some weight, quit that shit job that is sucking the life out of you. Anything you’re going through a boudoir photo session will make a great gift for yourself, or someone else. This is something you can cherish for the rest of your life, We are only going to be this size once in our lives, this age once in our life, we are only going to be at this moment once in our lives. So why not document it?! Why not have some sexy ass photos of yourself to honor this exact moment in your life.

Whatever your excuses are that are holding you back from a boudoir experience, I hope these squashed them all. It’s time to jump in to the deep end. You just might surprise yourself. Doing a boudoir shoot just might be the best thing you've done for yourself in a long time, and there's nothing holding you back now…

Stay empowered babes xoxo
