“Rediscover yourself during this new chapter of life.”
A Boudoir session can have a positive and empowering impact on women going through menopause and perimenopause in several ways. It’s time to embrace the power of a Boudoir session. Let me tell you 7 reasons how doing a Boudoir session during menopause can help you manage this new stage in life and make you feel confident and sexy.
Boudoir Can Boost Your Self-Esteem
Menopause can bring physical and emotional changes that might affect your self esteem. I am personally in perimenopause and have found it to be similar to what others have told me menopause is like. I have gained weight in my stomach that I can’t get rid of like I use to with exercise and food. My skin has changed and feels more dry and rough. My nails are not as strong and sex is not as comfortable due to dryness. This on top of my hormones going out of whack has definitely made me feel more depressed and a whole lot less sexy. This is why doing a Boudoir session can help. Boudoir sessions help you celebrate your body at every stage it is in and makes you feel empowered. It captures your true beauty and helps you see yourself in a more positive light with confidence. Not only doing a boudoir session during menopause can help you foster self love but it can renew a sense of femineity which we all need right now. A Boudoir session can help give you a feel of empowerment during menopause which can renew a feeling you are missing.
Rediscover Your Confidence
Engaging in a Boudoir session allows mature women to express their femineity and sexuality at a stage in their life when its needed most. Most of us have lost our sex drive or just don’t find it to be as comfortable as before. We are going through physical and emotional changes and just trying to get through the day. You are tying to balance your hormones while working to balance your life. Instead of feeling diminished lets feel empowered. Lets embrace the new body we have while working to get it where we want it. Being a professional photographer I know how to pose you to get the best shots leaving you feeling amazing and with photos you will cherish forever. You will get the spark back you need and you can now use that spark to reignite your relationship with yourself and the ones you love.
Embrace the Change
Menopause is a significant transition in a woman’s life. It brings a host of symptoms like hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and skin elasticity. We all go through these changes differently. Some just let life happen and others fight it with hormone replacement therapy and diets like the Galveston Diet. I personally have changed my workouts to more barre for balance and light weight training to help with bone strength. I am spacing my food out more since fasting is tough but I am not giving up my wine like some suggest. You need to find the right balance for you in order to embrace this change. It’s a new phase of life. I know my stomach won’t be as flat as it used to be and I am accepting that. My family still loves me so I should love me too. Sometimes I just need to be reminded of this which is why photos are amazing. They help remind you of just how beautiful you are inside and out.
It’s Time for Self Care and Indulgence
Taking time for a Boudoir session during menopause is an act of self-care and self-love. Boudoir photography is a genre of photography that captures intimate and sensual images of women leading to an empowering experience. They are typically conducted in a bedroom setup which allows you to feel comfortable and confident. It’s an opportunity to pamper yourself. Go get a manicure and pedicure before your session and then enjoy professional hair and makeup that leaves you feeling stunning and like a whole new woman. You can go soft and natural or full glam. Either way it will improve your overall well being and your confidence will reflect in your photos.
Create Positive Memories
The photos from your session can serve as a reminder of your personal strength, beauty and resilience. It can provide a positive anchor during this challenging time. When you feel low and need a little spark to help you feel sexy again, just look at your photos and remember that feeling you left with. Remember the reaction you got from those you shared these photos with. Many women get a large album with their favorite photos to give as a gift or keep in their top drawer. Then a smaller album of their favorites to keep in their purse or glove compartment as a reminder of how beautiful and strong they are. These can be cherished for years to come serving as a source of inspiration and confidence whenever needed.
Connect With Your Body Again
Menopause can sometimes lead to a disconnect with one’s body. A Boudoir session during menopause can help in reconnecting and appreciating the body you have now in a new and intimate way. For many of us menopause can affect your intimacy and sensuality. I personally use Revaree to help with my dryness and its been a game changer. I look back at my Boudoir photos to remind me of how beautiful I am and how sexy he makes me feel. ( and yes I have done 4 Boudoir sessions myself ) A Boudoir session can reignite your sense of sensuality and help you feel more connected to your body and your partner.
Boudoir Can Be Therapeutic
The creative process of self expression can be therapeutic for some. It can help them process their emotions and be a powerful tool to help them accept who they are now while building confidence and an overall emotional well being during this transition. This positive impact can help you through menopause in many ways. It can help you rediscover your self confidence and adjust to your new body by seeing yourself in a new light. It can help you stop focusing on what you feel are flaws and instead focus on what makes you unique and beautiful. This celebration can be incredibly affirming during a time when physical changes are happening. Being vulnerable can be empowering because it requires a certain kind of courage to step in front of the camera, especially when you are not feeling your best. Successfully doing this can foster a sense of accomplishment and remind women they are powerful and beautiful at any age.
Embrace Menopause and Perimenopause
Menopause is a natural part of life, but it doesn’t have to diminish your sense of self love and confidence. A Boudoir session can help you embrace this new phase of life and help you rediscover and celebrate your beauty through strength and femininity. Lets capture this transformative period of life through my lens so you can emerge renewed and confident with a deeper appreciation for the wonderful woman you are. Lets turn this challenging time into an opportunity for self discovery and empowerment proving beauty and confidence truly have no age limit.
