HARLOW Exposing boudoir myths

What we do is not something any photographer can do. You have to understand the growth and courage it takes to do this as an experienced woman not an experienced model.

You must be empathetic, a good listener, and encouraging .

Boudoir photography Is about empowering women. It's about owning your beauty, your curves, your flaws, and your strengths.

A woman deserves to feel confident.

There are photographers that specialize in taking sexy photos of models or women who only fit a certain box but that’s not HARLOW pinup & boudoir.

 

Why do all women need to do this after 30?

 

 

1. To Be Pampered

Ultimately, the best reason to experience a boudoir session is for yourself! When’s the last time you took the time to take a moment for you? As women, wives, mothers, nurturers, and friends, we often spend our days taking care of others; and boudoir offers a safe space set aside just for you to be loved, empowered, and pampered. 


2. To Discover a New Kind of Confidence

Feeling confident in your own skin can seem impossible. Showcasing your beauty and feeling like a rockstar is something that we don’t set aside time for in our day-to-day lives, so let’s prioritize feeling great about ourselves! 


3. To rebuild our confidence

 Fall in love with our body and selves once again... or for the first time. To appreciate what we thought we lost due to age, changes in our appearance and years of self doubt. 



4. Because It’s Fun

Although everyone gets nervous when they show up to their session, I guarantee those fears will disappear when you get your hair and makeup done, work with our expert team of caring women and slip into a beautifully curated look...you will become that model!!

 

5. To See Yourself From a New Perspective

A boudoir session will give you a glimpse at the ways other people see you! We are our own worst critic and focus on what’s negative about ourselves, specifically our bodies, but ladies, I’m here to celebrate your beauty! Every woman is unique and brings their own kind of sexy to their boudoir session. 


6. For Your Person…

Boudoir is such an intimate experience– and who better to share it with than your other half? Pro Tip: After your session, consider ordering prints. Prints can be small gems to find throughout the day, as a bookmark or hidden in a suitcase, for your love to find. or More Specifically, For Your Fiance

Getting married soon? A surprise boudoir album is proved to be the best wedding gift before the big day. Let them know you’re thinking of them.

 

7. Because Life is Changing

We all experience changes in life, some are exciting and welcomed while others are scary and uncertain. I believe taking time for yourself in times of transition is crucial. If you’re in a time of transition, relationally, physically, emotionally, or literally in any other way, boudoir is a beautiful way to center yourself and find confidence. 


8. To Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

In a rut? Does your 9-5 leave you feeling defeated, exhausted, and just done? Well, come on over! We’ll make you feel like a badass boss lady, and allow that feeling to overflow into the other areas of your life. 


9. Just Because

The truth is, I don’t believe you need a reason to experience a boudoir session, but you have to feel it in your soul that you’re ready. So when the time comes, I’ll be here.
