4 Reasons Why Every Woman Over 40 Should Have a Boudoir Photoshoot
In this blog, we aim to address some common concerns that mature women may have about boudoir photography and highlight 4 very good reasons why every woman over 40 should have a boudoir photoshoot!
4 Reasons Why Every Woman Over 40 Should Have a Boudoir Photoshoot
Recently, in Holly Douglas & Co.'s private Facebook group, a group member asked, "What's the oldest client you've ever photographed?" She was wondering if women over 40 are considered "too old" for a boudoir session because she is her mid-60's. The answer, of course, is absolutely not! No woman is EVER "too old" for a boudoir photoshoot!
When it comes to boudoir photography, the misconception is that it's exclusively for young women. However, that couldn't be further from the truth! At Holly Douglas & Co. in Nashville, Tennessee, we firmly believe that beauty has no age limit. (To date, Holly Douglas' most mature client was 84 years-old.) Boudoir photography is a powerful and empowering experience that can be just as transformative for mature women who are over 40 years old as it is for their younger counterparts. Therefore, in this blog, we aim to address some common concerns that mature women may have about boudoir photography. In doing so, we will also highlight four very good reasons why every woman over 40 should have a boudoir photoshoot!
1. Your Body is a Work of Art
One of the most common concerns mature women have about boudoir photography is that their bodies are no longer in their "prime." However, it's essential to remember that beauty isn't defined by age or a particular body type. Your body has carried you through life's adventures, and every mark, scar, and curve tells a story. Therefore, boudoir photography is a celebration of that journey. It allows you to appreciate your body's beauty in its current state. Our skilled photographers and professional hair and makeup artists at Holly Douglas & Co. know how to accentuate your best features, ensuring you will feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera.
2. Your Beauty is Unique
Boudoir photography is all about embracing your unique beauty, including those subtle signs of age that make you who you are. In fact, the lines on your face and the softness in your skin are a testament to a beautiful life well-lived, filled with laughter, wisdom, and experience. Our professional photographers are experts at capturing your natural beauty and helping you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.
3. Your Sexuality Should Be Celebrated
It's entirely normal for mature women to question their sensuality as they age. Society often perpetuates the myth that sexiness is exclusive to youth, but this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, we whole-heartedly believe that women over 40 should embrace their sexuality even more at this stage of life! After all, with age and experience comes greater knowledge about your own physicality and what makes you "tick." Therefore, boudoir photography offers a chance to rediscover your sensuality and connect with your inner goddess. It's an opportunity to explore your desires and embrace your sensual side in a safe and supportive environment. Our team at Holly Douglas & Co. is committed to creating a comfortable and judgment-free space where you can tap into and celebrate your sensuality.
4. You Deserve a Self-Confidence Boost
Boudoir photography has the incredible power to boost self-confidence and self-esteem, regardless of age. Stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing vulnerability can be a transformative experience. You'll gain a sense of self-acceptance and self-love that can extend well beyond the photoshoot! You'll leave our studio feeling empowered and with a newfound appreciation for your mature beauty and strength.
Conclusion
While Holly Douglas & Co. does have a minimum age requirement of 21, no woman is ever considered "too old" for boudoir photography. It's an especially beautiful and empowering experience for women who are over 40. At Holly Douglas & Co. in Nashville, Tennessee, we celebrate the beauty of maturity and believe that every woman deserves to feel confident, sexy, and empowered. If you're a mature woman considering a boudoir experience, we invite you to embrace your unique beauty, rediscover your sensuality, and boost your self-confidence. It's time to celebrate the timeless allure that comes with age and experience – because you are beautiful, just as you are.
A Boudoir Session is About Embracing Who You are NOW
In this blog, we will explain why having a boudoir session with Holly Douglas & Co. in Nashville, Tennessee, will help you embrace your body and who you are right NOW, at this stage of your life.
A Boudoir Session is About Embracing Who You are NOW
No matter your size, age, shape, color, or gender - you are beautiful. Always have been and always will be. In this blog, we will explain why having a boudoir session with Holly Douglas & Co. in Nashville, Tennessee, is all about embracing your body and who you are right NOW, at this stage of your life.
How a Boudoir Session Can Help You Grow
Push it real good!
Yes, a boudoir photoshoot can be about pushing your limits. Boudoir sessions have a way of helping you step outside of your comfort zone to see yourself differently. They help you embrace the body you have now and love the way you look in photos.
This can be especially important if you're fighting the demons so many of us face. Body dysmorphia, diet culture, and traumatic life events find many women looking for something to help empower them rather than tell them what they "should" look like. A boudoir experience with Holly Douglas & Co. in Nashville can do that for you.
The Connection Between Boudoir & Emotion
Over the past few pandemic years, our bodies and self-worth have taken a hit. Now, more than ever, we need to prioritize self-care.
But the term “self-care” isn’t limited to just pedicures and lattes...it's also about caring for your emotional well-being.
Boudoir portraits are about so much more than just baring your body. They are about baring your soul. The connection between boudoir and emotion can be rather powerful. At Holly Douglas & Co., we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to make that connection and be reminded of the beauty they have, inside as well as out.
There is No Perfect Body Type For Boudoir
It doesn't matter if you are petite, mid-size, or plus-sized - boudoir photography is for EVERY body!
Again, this experience is all about embracing who you are NOW, not the person you think you’ll become if you “just lose a few pounds first.” A boudoir session is an amazing opportunity to celebrate all that you have been through to become the incredible person you are today, no matter your current age or size.
We Have Seen Woman Healed After a Boudoir Session
Yes, in some cases, a boudoir session can be a very emotionally healing experience. It's cathartic for some when they are finally able to embrace their bodies and allow themselves to feel beautiful. And you should know that our private boudoir studio is a safe space. The Holly Douglas & Co. team is here for you - we understand that this is a vulnerable experience, and everything that happens within our Nashville studio walls is kept here, unless you want to share the experience.
It's kind of like Fight Club, but a hell of a lot sexier!
