Chances are you’ve heard of boudoir photography— a photo session that highlights sexiness and intimacy and one that often results in a creative, sassy gift for a significant other. One of the most popular occasions for this type of gift is a pre-wedding or honeymoon present, but these sessions also give a woman a chance to celebrate herself.

“As women we tend to focus on our physical flaws,” says Vancouver boudoir photographer Kelsey Goodwin. “A photographer sees you differently and puts you in a light and angle that highlights your assets and gives you a chance to appreciate yourself.” Goodwin says the biggest reason women hesitate before doing a boudoir shoot is that they think they won’t know how to pose or look sexy in front of the camera. “It’s natural to feel anxious when you’ve never modeled before, but the truth is, as long as you’re relaxed and having fun, you’re going to look great,” she explains. “Some women are concerned because they’re older or heavier, but honestly, everyone feels sexy after a shoot like this. You’ll be surprised how comfortable you’ll feel and how much fun it actually is.”
Vancouver newlywed Tracy Smith had a recent boudoir shoot, and says the hardest part of the experience was picking her top 10 images for printing. “It was so much fun to have your hair and makeup done, get dressed up in something intimate and have some photos taken,” she enthuses. “It really is a liberating feeling to have so much attention focused on you, and I admit I loved being in the spot light.”
Nadine Trinh also booked a boudoir photo shoot before her recent wedding, prompted by its promise of empowerment. “To me it was a way to celebrate being a girl, to be portrayed as ultra-feminine yet bold, confident and alluring,” she says. “It gave me a moment to enjoy myself. And who doesn’t want their grandchildren to one day realize that their granny was one hot gal?”
Trinh googled random boudoir images online and selected Goodwin for her edgy style and tasteful, creative photographs. “My criteria were that the photographer should have an impressive portfolio and a creative eye, as well as the ability to capture candid, natural expressions,” she says. “When I happened upon Kelsey’s website, I couldn’t wait to get in touch with her.”

The Internet is an excellent tool to familiarize yourself with the particular style of a boudoir photographer. “Select a shooter with the amount of experience that you are comfortable with,” says Gina Chong from Butter Studios. “Also, ensure you are familiar with their work and style so that when you receive your photos, there are no surprises in terms of the posingand the lighting that the photographer favours.”
