The term "boudoir" comes from the French word "bouder," which means "to pout."


Boudoir photography is a type of photography that takes place in a boudoir setting. It typically features people posing in intimate and revealing clothing or lingerie. Boudoir photography can be used to celebrate one's beauty, boost self-confidence, or create a keepsake to enjoy for years to come.

In the 18th century, a boudoir was a woman's private sitting room or bedroom, where she could relax and entertain her friends.


Boudoirs were often decorated in a luxurious and feminine style, with soft fabrics, flowers, and mirrors.


The history of boudoir photography can be traced back to the early 1900s. In the early days, boudoir photography was often considered to be scandalous or risqué. This was back when women were laughed at, mocked, shamed, and not treated equally or fairly. During this time, it was actually illegal.

 

Insert eye roll.


Fast forward to the mid-1940s and 50s. Pinup girls, *whistles*, were used to attract men to join the military. These women paved the way for modern-day boudoir. Boudoir picked up and more and more women started participating in the trend, and boudoir photography became more mainstream. Today, we see men and women all over social media, in magazines, and in movies embracing their bodies and flaunting their stuff! 


There are many different reasons why someone chooses to have boudoir photography done. Some do it to boost their self-confidence. Others do it to create a keepsake for their partner. And still, others do it simply because they enjoy the experience.


No matter what the reason, boudoir photography can be a very empowering experience. It can help you to feel more confident, beautiful, and desirable. And it can create a lasting reminder of their inner and outer beauty.
