Boudoir Photography for the More Mature Woman

By Helen Booth




Arranging a boudoir photograph shoot is something which is becoming well-liked by ladies of any age, not just young girls with ideal figures increasingly, by older ladies in their thirties, 40's and even 50's. The explanations for boudoir's growing popularity amongst older girls are wide and varied sometimes, ladies are becoming much less bashful about their bodies than used to be the case. TV programs like How to Look Great Exposedhave done much to promote this view by demonstrating that, with some help, anybody can look good regardless of their shape or age.

What Inspires a Girl to have a Boudoir Photo-Shoot?

Each lady will have her own reasons but the main inducements usually come under the following headings:

Life Changes

Wedding- many women booking a boudoir photo-shoot are doing so as a gift for their future partner. Though mainly young brides there are a rising number of older girls, perhaps marrying the second time around, who are preparing a bridal boudoir shoot as a present idea for their new hubby.

Pregnancy- motherhood boudoir is another accelerating trend and this is especially popular with women in their thirties who are beginning a family later on in life and, perhaps, are at an advantage financially over younger ladies that could be restricted vis budget?

Divorce- getting divorced can be a nerve-wrangling and depressing experience for obvious reasons. But some girls are taking the opportunity to start anew - and what better way than a confidence lifting and empowering set of pictures to remind them that they've still got a lot to be positive about?

Markers

Reaching a certain age is a significant point in anyone's life and a boudoir shoot is especially favored by women that have just turned 40 and 50. What used to be considered middle-age is now being seen as a new beginning and some ladies do actually come 'into-their-own ' at this time of life.

Body Changes

A recent weight loss is commonly a giant reason to celebrate and a collection of images showing you in a way you could never have thought possible is a great way of recording a dieting success - not to mention a fantastic inducement to stay that way!

The increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery is also another motivating factor - especially for those that have had a little enhancement up-top.

What about nerves and shortage of confidence?

Thinking about a boudoir shoot is one thing; essentially going ahead with it can be another thing? Some ladies will naturally be nervous when it comes to posing for a pro cameraman although there truly is no actual need. The advantage of boudoir style photography is that it's down to you what's shown and what is not - begin at your own comfort level and see how it goes: a good shutter-bug will shortly put you at ease and you will be surprised how much fun it can be!

Choose the Right Shutter-bug and the Rest is Easy

Selecting the cameraman is something you don't want to rush - look through examples of their work and see which have images you like. Each shutter-bug will have their own style and you'll soon see which work the best with women in your age group. Some girls will prefer a female photographer while others might prefer a male view on what looks attractive - it really is your decision?

Above all else , enjoy the experience, take your time and have a good time - it should, in fact , be an experience you always remember.
