A new year is here, which no doubt will bring a few different major milestones for most of us. We’ll have huge birthdays, job changes, goal completions… Whatever you’ve got planned for the next 365 days, 2023 is going to bring some major things to celebrate! I might be biased, but celebrating milestone with photography (specifically boudoir photography) is such a unique way to commemorate a special milestone. Photography allows you to always be able to have a visual reminder of where you were in your life, and what great things were happening.

What is the importance of treating yourself during life’s milestones?? (“Alexa, play the ‘Treat yo’ self’ episode from Parks & Rec”)

Treating yourself during certain life milestones can be a really important way to celebrate and recognize achievements, milestones, or personal growth.

For example, we’ve photographed boudoir sessions for major birthdays, such as turning 30, 40, or 50. These sessions are so much fun. We pop champagne, talk about what kind of party is happening, and then we always get into reflecting on the past and what they’re looking forward to in the future (outside of seeing their boudoir photos of course). A boudoir session is such a special experience, it’s the perfect way to mark your amazing birthday and celebrate your personal growth and accomplishments so far.

Similarly, we’ve had clients come in to celebrate a major personal or professional milestone, such as getting married, getting divorced, receiving a promotion at work, etc. We love being able to help you celebrate and recognize the hard work and dedication that led to that achievement. It can also be a way to reward yourself and take a moment to celebrate before moving on to the next challenge. Once you’ve accomplished wearing a lace bodysuit on camera then nothing really seems that challenging anymore.

In general, treating yourself (with a boudoir shoot or with another amazing experience) can be a hugely important part of maintaining mental and emotional well-being, as it can provide a sense of accomplishment and help to boost self-esteem and confidence. It can also be a way to practice self-care and prioritize your OWN needs and wants (see what I did there?), which can be especially important during times of stress or when life becomes particularly busy or overwhelming.

We hope to see you in 2023 for your boudoir shoot to celebrate whatever life has in store for you this year!!
