She's still in there: Why Revenir boudoir isn't boudoir at all

Somewhere along the way, we were taught as little girls to shrink. To be more palatable, to play roles. To tuck peices of ourselves away because being a girl meant you needed to speak up but not too loudly. Where we find the lines clearly drawn in the sand and the expectations set before us yet we don't ever seem quite good enough.
Boudoir photography has long been for the eyes of your lover or significant other. Filled with lace and lingerie fake poses and half smiles that at the end of the day only played one role. For the eyes of someone else. We don't celebrate the milestones or see them as reason enough to put yourself on a pedestal. We spend our lives waiting for someone to do it for us.
Its time we celebrated ourselves and our own milestones in life with a session that reminds us who the fuck we are as women and why it is so important to set life down for just an hour while you remind the women who lives inside your chest that she deserves to be seen. Not because of the praise that another will give her for it but because she knows what she has to offer... and can give it to herself!
This style of photography doesnt find the need for crazy props and lace lingerie, instead it's back to you and the tiny details that make up the woman you are, not what you have to offer.
