Embrace Your Beauty: Your Butt is Not Too Big and Your Boobs are Not Too Small

I'm thrilled to connect with you through this blog post. As an award-winning professional boudoir photographer right here in the heart of Brooklyn, one common theme I've noticed is the struggle many of you face in embracing your bodies. But here's the deal - your butt is not too big, and your boobs are not too small. In fact, they are uniquely, beautifully yours, and it's time to celebrate that! Join me on this beautiful journey as you discover how boudoir photography can transform the way you see yourself.

Your Butt is Not Too Big and Your Boobs are Not Too Small

Breaking Down the Beauty Standards

Let's kick things off by debunking those outdated beauty standards that society keeps trying to impose on us. Your body is a work of art, with curves that tell a story of strength, resilience, and femininity. That so-called "ideal" body type? It's a myth. Your curves are what make you, you! Your butt, whether voluptuous or petite, it's all about your individuality. It's time to appreciate the magic in those curves, regardless of their size. As a boudoir photographer, I specialize in highlighting the unique beauty in every body, showcasing the grace in your movements and the allure in your curves. When you see the stunning images we create together, you'll realize that your body is not too big – it's just the right size for the masterpiece it is.

The Power of Confidence

Now, let's talk confidence – that secret ingredient that can transform a photograph from beautiful to breathtaking. Confidence is about embracing your authentic self. Your boobs, whether they defy gravity or sit a little lower, are a symbol of your womanhood. It's time to revel in the unique beauty of your bust, to see it as a source of strength and allure. Boudoir photography is about capturing the essence of your confidence, your inner goddess. During our sessions at Brooklyn Boudoir Photography, I create a comfortable space where you can let go of insecurities and fully embrace the beauty that radiates from within. Trust me; you'll leave with a newfound appreciation for every inch of yourself.

Overcoming Insecurities

I get it; we all have those moments of doubt, those nagging insecurities that whisper in the back of our minds. But here's the thing – those insecurities are not truths. They're stories we tell ourselves based on societal pressures and unrealistic expectations. Boudoir photography is a powerful tool to help you rewrite those stories. It's a chance to confront those insecurities head-on, to see yourself in a new light, and to rewrite the narrative with self-love and acceptance. Through my lens, I've witnessed the transformative power of boudoir photography, helping women shed their insecurities and step into their true selves with confidence and pride.

Come As You Are | Natural Beauty Bridal Boudoir | Brooklyn Portrait Photographer

I’ve talked a lot recently about natural beauty, and not necessarily *needing a makeover before your boudoir shoot. This modern and untraditional bridal boudoir session is the perfect example of how beautifully this can work, even in a boudoir photoshoot setting.

Ms. S is a dancer amongst other things. She’s a natural beauty who doesn’t wear much, if any, makeup in her “real” life. So when she contacted me about a shoot for her soon to be husband as a wedding day gift, her one concern was looking too made up and not herself.

Ladies, this is no problem whatsoever! As I’ve said before, the most important thing to me is that you are looking and feeling like your best YOU. Not like “her” (whoever she is) but like YOU. Makeovers are fun, getting primped up is fun, and sometimes playing dress up is fun — I totally get that and am all for it. But sometimes — scratch that, MOST OF THE TIME — being yourself is the most satisfying and most beautiful you there is.

I loved how Ms. S. knew herself and her style and opted out of the hair and makeup chair. She came to her shoot completely au natural and it completely works for her casual, just-woke-up like this, cool girl vibe. I never thought Chuck Taylors could look so sexy and yet, here she is rocking them! In fact some of these images are some of my most commented on and repined from my Pinterest pages, I think because they are unique, honest and really tell a story about the woman wearing them.

And ultimately, isn’t this what we we all want? To be seen as ourselves, and have our stories heard?

In her own words, Ms. S said:

Out of any wedding related thing I've done in the last year (including looking for and buying my wedding dress) this was the absolute my favorite experience. Stephanie is super talented and a pleasure to be around. I felt like she really took the time to get a feel for who I was and catered the shoot to that. It's nice when people recognize your individuality! The final products absolutely embraced my personality and style. Also...it was just totally fun!

I will never put you in heels if you don’t own a pair of heels that make you feel good. I don’t put crazy long eyelashes on you unless you love that look. We can capture your beauty in ANY state of dress or undress as long as it’s how you feel best about yourself. Yes, I’ll direct you and I’ll even push you to the go a little bit out of your comfort zone — but only as far as you are excited to go. I have a sixth sense when it comes to women and their feelings. If you are excited to try some artistic nudes but nervous to go there I am great about capturing a few in the most comfortable and easy way. And if you want to stay in your jeans the whole time, we can absolutely make that work as well (see photos here as proof).

So if you are considering a boudoir session — for yourself or as a gift to a loved one, my advise is: don’t get caught up in what you think it “should” look like. Find a photographer who’s style you love and jives with your own, and just be yourself. So come as you are! Get glammed up or not, wear lingerie or not. Because you are truly never as beautiful as you are when you’re just being yourself.

xoxo, Stephanie
