You may have seen that I am beginning to offer boudoir photography and have a call out for models for portfolio-building sessions. I wrote this post explaining why I’m adding this as an option for my clients, and, to be true to my word, I shared an iPhone shot of my postpartum belly. I can’t ask women to do this for themselves if it’s something that I’m not willing to do for myself. So, when I was stuck on this week’s theme for “pattern”, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to get creative and take a self-portrait boudoir shot. I think self-portraits are way harder than shooting other people, so this took me out of my comfort zone in several ways. At first I thought I might have some cute patterned lingerie that I could use for the theme, but who am I kidding? That’s not me. I’m nursing two children. I wear sports bras basically 24/7. But I put on one of my favorite patterned sweaters and found some pretty light and took this photo. And, you know what, I feel good about it. I guess I am more than my sports bras after all ; ) If you are considering a boudoir session for yourself, hopefully this inspires you to take the leap.
