An Unexpected Gift for Mrs. P: Body Confidence from Boudoir Photography

Mrs. P's husband’s 40th birthday was approaching and she needed a gift. He hinted that he would love boudoir photos, so Mrs. P turned to Instagram to find the perfect boudoir photographer. She found Belle Marie Boudoir and reached out to book a consultation call.

After a call with MacKenzie, Mrs. P booked a session. She was nervous but excited to get her husband such a great gift. What she didn’t expect was how much she would get out of the boudoir experience herself.
Pre-Photoshoot Nerves Are Normal!
After the photoshoot we asked if she had been nervous before coming in and Mrs. P responded with a resounding, “Yes!”
“I felt nervous walking into the studio. Everything from the studio to the ease conversation with the ladies during hair and makeup helped ease my nerves by the time it came to picking outfits and starting pictures. During the photo shoot Olivia’s jokes and playful banter helped me feel confident and really enjoy myself throughout the experience.”
Nerves leading up to a boudoir photoshoot are very normal! It’s a completely new experience for most people and even with all the prep and info we send before the big day, you’ll probably still be nervous about stripping down lingerie in front of the camera.
Just know you’ll be with a professional team that knows how to make boudoir fun, comfortable, and approachable. We’ll be there to support you every step of the way before, during, and after your boudoir photoshoot.
More Than a Photographer
There’s more to picking a boudoir photographer than finding something who’s skilled at photography. You have to spend 4+ hours with us. In lingerie. You’re going to want to like the people you’re hanging out with all day.
“Having my hair and makeup professionally done was awesome. Olivia’s jokes were top notch. Compliments and flattery are always nice too :)”
We’re a team of women that understand the unique joys and challenges of being a woman. We there to pamper you, hype you up, listen to your story, crack jokes and have fun, but also support you during challenging or emotional moments. We’re ready to meet you where you are and give you the day you need.
Support From Start to Finish
“It was really fun to be able to see the pictures right after the shoot. I’m not the most decisive person so it was nice to be able to go through the pictures multiple times.”
Our team takes things at your pace. We could save time by just sending you the gallery of photos, but it’s hard to narrow down from 100+ images. Especially if you end up loving more than expected (which happens all the time).
That’s why we take the time to sit down with you and carefully go through all your photos, pointing out little details that might go unnoticed at first but will make a big difference when you see your photos laid out in an album.

If you’re the type of person who knows what you like and can narrow them down easy peasy, that’s great! If you need more time to carefully review and consider your final selection, we’ll work with you to get to a final gallery that’s full of photos you love. We’ll go at your pace!
Unexpected Benefits of Boudoir Photography
“I was pleasantly surprised at how the pictures turned out. I didn’t know what to expect but the whole experience definitely exceeded my expectations.”
It’s hard to know what to expect any time you do something for the first time. It’s the goal of the entire Belle Marie Boudoir team, to make sure your boudoir photoshoot experience is so much more amazing than expected.
“I originally did this for my husband but didn’t realize what I would get out of it. I have always struggled with body image but now I feel more confident and comfortable.”
Just because a boudoir photoshoot is booked with the goal of gifting the images, doesn’t mean you’re not going to get anything out of the experience too! Most clients who come in with the singular goal of creating a gift for their partner, tell us they felt like they actually gave themselves a gift.
Mrs. P’s husband loves the photo, especially the mobile app gallery! And Mrs. P gained more confidence in herself and her body. We consider that a job well done and what we aim to do for each and every client.
