“Do you know how beautiful you are?”

My husband asks me this question everyday (seriously he does – he is that amazing!) Some days I nod in agreement or answer, “Yes, yes I do.” But then there are those days where I just nod and smile because maybe I’m having an off day. I don’t think he expects me to actually answer the question, but it’s meant as more of a reminder of “Hey, you’re gorgeous and I’m a lucky man!”

Boudoir photography to me is beautiful. It’s a way to celebrate your own unique beauty. Sometimes I just shake my head in disbelief when my friends, family and even complete strangers mention things that they would like to change about themselves because I don’t see it that way. Usually the feature they want to change is the very thing that makes them unique – and to me unique is beautiful.

With the society and media of today being so fixated on perfection, it’s easy to lose sight at just how amazing you really are. I feel that every woman should not only know how beautiful they are, but have a gorgeous set of “knock-‘em-drop-dead-gorgeous” photos of themselves. Pulling from my own experience in front of the boudoir camera, I can tell you this: The amount of self-confidence I gained in those 60 minutes has stayed with me ever since and will for the rest of my life. It was the best gift I have ever given to myself (oh, and my husband).

And since a blog post is not a blog post without a photo, here is a real beauty   Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
