Would you like to be sexy and confident and have the photos to prove it?

Welcome to the first blog post from Boudoir by Dove.


Last week I took some Boudoir photos for a gorgeous lady in her late 40's, well, she is nearly 48 (she wont mind me telling you this), she has been contemplating having a boudoir session for the last 2 years.
Finally, she decided that the time was right and we scheduled the shoot for the evening at her apartment.
I've found that in my experience it usually takes around 10 minutes of photographing and chatting to clients for them to start to relax, and Annie was no exception. 
She has body issues like the rest of us, but once into the shoot she forgot all about them (her words not mine) and just enjoyed herself.
We had a fabulous time, and 2 hours went by in what seemed like 2 minutes, the resulting barely retouched photos are fabulous and she has just been round to collect them.
She said she was on a high for days, has told as many woman as she can about them and is happy for me to put some on the blog... Thankyou Annie.
Now, you might wonder why I am telling you this other than to promote Boudoir by Dove... and the reason is this...


We women give ourselves a bad time about our bodies...FACT!!


But ... the truth is if you ask your partner or your friends, they will tell you that you are beautiful, that you dont need to lose weight you need to be comfortable in your own skin.
Be confident in who you are and what you look like and you will look and feel extremely sexy...FACT!!

Why dont we believe them?


I'm not a psychologist, so cannot give a definitive answer, but I can tell you that virtually every woman I have photographed in a Boudoir shoot has said how much more confident and sexy she feels. 
It may be that we just don't take the time to appreciate our good 'bits' .. we don't see ourselves as others see us.. and this is where Boudoir Photography comes in... It can help build your confidence, body image and self esteem just by overcoming the fear and saying yes to a shoot..


This isnt about getting photographs for your significant other (though Im sure your partner will love them), its all about YOU!!
What do you like?
What do you want to look like?
How do you want to feel?
What do you want to wear?
How do you want to pose?
There are lots of boudoir photographers around now, some do 'makeover' shoots, some airbrush and make you look thinner or younger. I can recommend someone to you if this is the look you want to go for.


At Boudoir by Dove, minimal retouching is done, so that you actually look like You.


You will look at the photos and remember the fun experience we had, the laughs and sometimes the tears we shared and come away a more confident sexy YOU .. with photos to prove it!!


As Annie said... 
Forget being  Gok Wan'd ... Get 'Doved' and I have to say.. that to be 'Doved' made me giggle.


My vision for Boudoir by Dove is to make Boudoir photography affordable for as many women as possible, to help women improve their body image and confidence and show them the photos to prove how gorgeous they are regardless of age or body issues.      Sheila Morris.
