Colorado & Idaho | Biggest Benefit of Intimate Portraits
Stepping outside ourselves and undoing old thought patterns to see something in a new way can be really hard. Especially when that something is our bodies and we’ve been groomed to hate what we see and to place our value on the outside when it’s what can’t be seen that makes the most impact. (Trust me on this. Even I have felt this in the journey of my self portraits.)
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not my intention to put the idea into your head that intimate portraits will completely retrain your thinking but they can definitely be a step in the right direction. In fact, it bugs the crap out of me when people paint boudoir as a cure-all for years of negative self-talk. That’s just unreasonable and that kind of work is best taken care of with a metal health professional.
Getting back to the stepping stone, from the moment you decide to treat yourself and schedule your intimate portraits, the focus is on celebrating you. From your private wardrobe planning appointment where we go over all the great things that will showcase your best assets to getting your hair and make-up done, and your shoot, each step is about you. My goal is that you’ll walk away with information to help you see yourself in your best light every day, not just on your shoot day. Because the more moments you share with yourself when you see good rather than bad, that is progress. And that lasts!
“The biggest benefit for me has been seeing myself from another perspective. People think ‘when I have the perfect body, I’ll like photos of myself so much more’ but I would challenge them to allow someone who sees beauty in them to photograph the parts of them that maybe they don’t love, because seeing them that way may make them realize they won’t hate those parts of their body as much as they thought they did. I learned to love the parts of me I was most insecure about by doing boudoir with you.” – Miss K
