I’ve been doing a lot of mature boudoir photography lately and something has been on my mind.
Aging.
It ain’t easy out there! It’s hard to open social media without hearing negative talk about aging women and bodies. We’re taught that aging is something to prevent. The fact is, we’re all aging. (I’ve aged trying to write this post!) Aging is as inevitable as it is beautiful.
Age brings wisdom, new experiences, and more fun.
Having the privilege to work with women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond, I’ve witnessed first-hand the empowering transformation that comes from mature boudoir photography. Embracing our bodies and celebrating every milestone becomes crucial.
Today I want us to explore mature boudoir and how important it is for our self-image and identities.
Beauty is Timeless
The myth that beauty fades with age is as fake as social media. What does fade is our self-confidence and the number of times we allow ourselves to do things for no reason other than our own joy and entertainment. I believe as we age we need more excuses to celebrate ourselves and step into the spotlight.
Mature Boudoir Photography Is About Embracing Age
Mature boudoir photography shatters these hesitations. It’s not just about taking sexy pictures. (Though don’t get me wrong, you’re going to look awesome, Queen!) Boudoir is actually an empowering experience, where we capture who you are at this moment – your strength and softness, your wisdom and warmth. It’s an opportunity to see yourself through a lens of compassion and appreciation, to remember that every line, curve, and contour is telling your story.
Celebrating Milestones and Memories
The easiest excuse to do your first mature boudoir is to celebrate a life milestone. Whether it’s marking a new decade, celebrating the growth of your family, or simply honoring the woman you’ve become, you deserve to romanticize your journey. Booking yourself a boudoir session is a small step you can take to preserve these moments. Just look at Wiliana’s flower-filled 40th birthday session.
My Approach to Photographing Women in their 40s – 99
I’ll be honest with you – mature boudoir is a buzzword. I’m using it to land in your search results. The secret to mature boudoir is that there’s no difference between how I approach photographing a 20-year-old, 40-year-old, or a 60-year-old. We’re still going to do a pre-session consultation to find out your favorite features about yourself, choose colors and outfit selects that make you feel gorgeous, and guide you into poses that make you feel like you’re a supermodel stepping onto the set. Your age doesn’t define you, and there are no special tricks I need to pull to make you look better.
You stun all on your own!
This Is Your Permission To Cherish Your Sensuality
So, to all the incredible women reading this, know that your age does not define you and your journey is worth celebrating. Boudoir photography is here to empower you, to showcase your grace and resilience, and to remind you that you are, and always will be, a Queen. Let’s embrace the beauty of aging together and celebrate the magnificent woman you are today, tomorrow, and every day after!
