When you think about boudoir sessions, what usually comes to mind is one woman in a sexy garment in a beautiful setting. Couple’s boudoir photography — which is essentially the same only it involves two people — is less common. For some, though, it’s the preferred option over a traditional boudoir session.
If you’re trying to decide whether or not you should have a traditional stand-alone boudoir session or one with your partner, consider the following:
Reasons to Have a Stand-Alone Boudoir Session
- You feel more comfortable being by yourself in a boudoir setting
- You want to gift your partner the images of yourself
- You want to have these images for yourself, as a sort of “gift” to yourself
- You want to celebrate your body, specifically
- You’d like to exercise free reign over the session planning experience
Reasons to Have Couple’s Boudoir Session
- The idea of being alone in the images makes you uncomfortable or overly nervous
- You want to capture the intimacy between you and your partner
- You want to have a collaborative session planning experience with your partner
- You want to do something bold that helps foster emotional intimacy
- You want to celebrate your love — whether new or old
