12 Jun BodyTalks: Tushy Thursday!
It's Tush-Day!
At Jezebel, we celebrate you. This encompasses every facet of who you are – who WE all are. We show you ways to see yourself through the lens of unconditional love, and we understand that some days it’s easy to appreciate ourselves, and other times it can be more of a challenge.
This is where we want to flip the script and really talk about what our bodies can do for us. Honest discussions can lead to acceptance, and acceptance can open our eyes to the possibilities of love.
Thursdays at Jezebel are all about the booty! Each week we’ll be showcasing some of our favorite images where they have a starring role. We’ll be discussing the challenges we face with an often disliked part of our bodies and hopefully turning those conversations towards ones of appreciation.
We're bringing booty back!
Hello again Beautiful! We all know boudoir photography is more than just a trend—it’s a deeply personal and empowering experience that allows individuals to celebrate themselves in a bold, beautiful way.
However, despite its growing popularity, boudoir is still surrounded by a cloud of misconceptions that can make people feel unsure, intimidated, or even excluded.
Today we’re diving in to 5 boudoir photography myths that harbor some of the biggest misconceptions this experience, along with the actual (empowering!) truth behind them. Whether you’re considering a session for yourself or simply curious about what boudoir is really about, we’re here to bust some common myths—and reveal the powerful, positive truths behind them.
Loving our bodies is a journey
Myth:
🗣️“Boudoir is only for young, thin, or model-like womxn.”
✨Truth: This is probably one of the most common assumptions about boudoir. The truth is, boudoir is for everyone, no matter your age, shape, size, or background.
✨Why it Matters: Real beauty isn’t confined to a specific standard. Boudoir photography is about embracing you—your story, your body, your confidence. A skilled photographer will showcase your unique features in a way that makes you feel seen, celebrated, and radiant, just as you are.
At Jezebel, we double down on this by encouraging you to bring personal belongings to your session that showcase exactly who you are: whether that’s your DnD Dice, a lightsaber, knitting needles, or a motorcycle helmet – we want to meet and celebrate you!
Myth:
🗣️“It’s all about being naked or overly sexual.”
✨Truth: Boudoir isn’t about nudity—it’s about empowerment, self-expression, and confidence.
✨Why it Matters: Your experience at Jezebel is tailored entirely to your comfort level. Whether you want to wear lingerie, a flowing dress, your partner’s shirt, or your favorite cozy sweater, the goal is to capture your essence in an intimate, elegant, and respectful way. Sensual doesn’t have to mean explicit—it can simply mean feeling powerful in your own skin.
Myth:
🗣️“It’s something you only do for a partner.”
✨Truth: While boudoir can be a beautiful gift for a loved one, it’s first and foremost a gift to yourself.
✨Why it Matters: Many clients book sessions to celebrate a personal milestone—like a birthday, a fitness journey, recovery, or simply a newfound sense of self-worth. The images become a tangible reminder of your growth, strength, and beauty. You don’t need a reason outside yourself to honor your body and spirit.
Myth:
🗣️“You have to know how to pose or be photogenic.”
✨Truth: You don’t need to know how to model—your photographer will guide you every step of the way.
✨Why it Matters: Feeling unsure in front of a camera is completely normal! As a professional boudoir photographer, Sara knows how to direct you into flattering, natural poses that highlight your best features. Our job is to help you feel confident, relaxed, and fully supported throughout your experience ♥
Myth:
🗣️“Boudoir shoots are uncomfortable or awkward.”
✨Truth: A boudoir shoot can be incredibly empowering, affirming, and even fun!
✨Why it Matters: Jezebel prides itself on creating a space that’s safe, welcoming, and judgment-free. Trust us, we’ve seen it all – and if we haven’t, we’re still here to be genuine and supportive of your journey! Clients often say they leave their session feeling more confident and connected to themselves than ever before. Instead of awkward, the experience often turns out to be freeing, healing, and surprisingly joyful.
Boudoir photography isn’t about fitting into someone else’s idea of beauty—it’s about embracing your own. Whether you’re celebrating a new chapter, reclaiming your confidence, or simply wanting to do something bold and beautiful for yourself, boudoir can be a transformative experience.
