Today the Huffington Post featured an article about boudoir photography and naturally I was intrigued!

Marisa Leigh, photographer and author does a brief overview of the history and evolution of boudoir and then makes a great case about why it is still relevant in today’s world.

This is my favorite excerpt: “The whole purpose of boudoir art and photography is that women should love their bodies, and that feeling sexy shouldn’t just be about pleasing somebody else — it should be about pleasing yourself, and realizing just how valuable you are. For these reasons, I would argue that boudoir photography is not only relevant in modern society, but it’s absolutely essential!”

Check out the article now and share! I love that more and more people are talking openly about how positive the boudoir experience can be! Every week I get the privilege of meeting, coaching and photographing women who come from all walks of life. In the end we all want the same thing – to feel feminine, powerful and SEXY!
