You’re amazing, You’re empowered, You’re ready to take on the world—but you might not always feel like it. Do you want to feel your best? Are you ready to discover the real you that’s been hidden for FAR too long? A boudoir session can help you with that, and these 8 tactics will allow you to feel like the BOSS you really are.

1. Learn How to Love Yourself

It’s amazing how many women out there genuinely hate their bodies. You spend most of your life feeling as though you’re fighting against it: forcing yourself to exercise in spite of the fact that the exercise routine you’ve chosen makes you miserable, avoiding foods that you love because you’re afraid of gaining weight, and hiding your body behind layers of clothing designed to shape, change, and smush.

If you want to genuinely feel like a lady boss, learn to get comfortable in your own skin! Learn about what makes you beautiful. Chances are, you have a sparkling smile, stunning curves, or legs that are just to die for.

Fall in love with them!

One of the most amazing things about scheduling a boudoir session is that it gives you an opportunity to see what makes you special. I will capture your beauty in a way that you may never have seen before—and you’ll find that you can fall in love with it.

2. Get More Comfortable in Your Own Skin

Girl, are you tired of covering yourself up?

Are you sick of being afraid to show even the least little bit of skin, or of hating the clothes in your closet because you’re afraid they’re too tight?

If you genuinely want to feel like a lady boss, get comfortable in your own skin. Learn to be as comfortable in your power suit—or your fancy lingerie—as you are in your yoga pants.

During your boudoir session, you’ll have a chance to get more comfortable in your own skin as you try out incredible poses and show off your assets. Carry that confidence with you into the rest of your day as you look back at those pictures.

3. Find Your Unique

You are unlike anybody else in the rest of the world. There’s something that sets you apart and makes you incredibly special—andif you want to feel like a boss, you need to know exactly what that is. Find the thing that makes you shine.

It might be your tenacity. Your creativity. Your ability to make anyone in a room feel comfortable.

It might even be your ability to make friends wherever you go, or your incredible strength at the gym.

Whatever it is that makes you unique, find it—and then own it! Go out into the world knowing that you’re something special and amazing, and show it off.

4. Pamper Yourself

All too many women are exhausted. They’re worn down, stressed out, and just feel done—and it’s hard to feel like a boss when you’re struggling with those feelings. The remedy? Pamper yourself!

Schedule a day of pampering. Get your hair and nails done. Let someone focus on taking care of you for a little while. You’ll be amazed by how relaxed and rejuvenated you feel.

Your boudoir session is an amazing opportunity for that kind of pampering. I want to make you feel as special as possible—and you’ll be amazed by how relaxed you are when the day is over.

5. Seize the Day

Most women have something that they’ve been putting off doing for a long time—something that they’ve been talking themselves out of.

A race.

A big move at work.

A boudoir session.

What is it that you’ve been putting off? What are the excuses you’ve been making to do something? Instead of making excuses, get it on the schedule today! Seize the day. Get excited about it. Go shopping for lingerie! You’ll have an amazing experience and feel like a boss because you got it done.

6. Engage in Positive Self-Talk

There may as well be a host of negative voices in your head telling you that you’re not good enough; that you’re not beautiful enough, or you’re not special enough, or that you’ll never amount to anything.

Drown out those voices with positive comments of your own.

“You’re beautiful and amazing. You’ve done incredible things.”

“You ARE good enough.”

When you look through your boudoir session photos long after your session is over, you’ll discover that it’s easier than ever to make those positive comments about yourself. You’ll be able to praise yourself, rather than finding all of your faults—especially when we sit down after your session to talk about those amazing pictures.

7. Say No

You’ve got too much on your schedule. You know it, but you’re struggling to tell people no—and you struggle even more with fitting in things that are important to you instead of answering everyone else’s needs.

Say no!

That’s right: the next time someone asks you to make room in your schedule that you don’t have, or tries to talk you into something that you don’t want to do—or out of something that you do want—tell them no!

“No, I have plans that day.”

“I’m sorry, I’m not available for that right now.”

Once you learn how to clear your schedule and avoid the things that you don’t want to do, you’ll find that it’s easier to say things that you really do want to do—like scheduling an incredible, empowering boudoir session that will carry benefits far past the day of your shoot.

8. Dream Big

You have incredible potential to accomplish big things—so let yourself dream about it! If you really want to feel like a boss, imagine yourself in that incredible position. Now, capture that feeling.

What does it feel like?

You can feel like that every day when you go after your dreams—and your dreams start here. I’ll make your dream photo shoot a reality, giving you more confidence to go after those dreams in the rest of your life as you accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible.

A boudoir session might not be the only way to feel like an empowered boss, but it’s an incredible step that will go a long way toward helping you on your journey. If you’re ready to feel incredible and fall in love with yourself like never before, get your boudoir session on the schedule today.
