Have you ever thought about booking a session for a future you? When this client inquired, she said something that instantly made me smile. “Have you seen Schitt’s Creek?” she wrote in her form, “That part where Moira says to take a thousand naked photos of yourself while you’re young?” I knew right away this was going to be such a fun and meaningful shoot.
So often, we think about booking a boudoir session for a specific reason. Like a wedding, an anniversary, a big life milestone… and those are all good reasons! But sometimes, it’s not about marking a date. It’s about celebrating who you are right now, in this exact season of life.
The light that afternoon was perfect this day! Think: soft and golden! Every boudoir photographer’s dream, honestly. It was streaming through the studio windows. Everything felt easy and calm. We loved the vibes. She moved from one look to the next. Green lace, deep burgundy satin, pale blue with little embroidered flowers… a good mix for her gallery! And somehow each one felt like a different side of her. The mix of cozy textures and warm tones made the whole set feel really effortless.
When you’re thinking forward in your life, it’s not about perfection. It’s about preservation. It’s about freezing a moment in time. Your energy, your curves, your confidence, your laughter: today. So that months or years from now, you can look back and remember exactly how it felt to be here.
But what if you are the reason? This client didn’t wait for a milestone. She simply wanted to exist in front of the camera, to celebrate herself now and give her future self something to look back on with love.
Boudoir sessions like this one are personal, artistic, and empowering. They remind you that confidence doesn’t come from an external motivator. It comes from showing up for yourself.
Whether you’re entering a new season of life or just feeling that pull to do something bold, consider this your sign to book a session for future you. You won’t regret it.
