I want to offer a more positive body image for boudoir experiences. Scarlet Sage Photography is all about body positivity in our raw form and accepting our bodies fully. Especially in today's age with so much Photoshop and fakeness, especially around looks, I think it's important to have a positive experience with your own body.
I don't remove pieces of you when I edit the photos, meaning I don't remove scars, tattoos, cellulite, or anything like that. This allows you to accept your body as it is and capture it authentically. Your body tells the story of your life and the challenges faced to get where we are, so why hide it?
Many clients come to me after difficult situations like abuse or divorce, feeling disconnected from themselves. Boudoir provides a unique experience where you can be 100% your raw self. It's a safe space where I aim to capture your essence meaningfully and beautifully without judgment.
Boudoir isn't just for females; it's inclusive for all genders. Media often dictates an unrealistic ideal, even for those technically close to it. Models spend their lives reaching that point, yet they too get photoshopped. It's a toxic standard perpetuated in our society.
Boudoir isn't just about feeling confident and beautiful; it's about embracing vulnerability. There's growth and confidence that arise from putting yourself in a vulnerable state and finding beauty in it. I've seen clients transform during sessions, regaining confidence and realizing their true beauty.
Clients, who may have felt inadequate about a part of their body, leave a boudoir session visibly changed. As a photographer, it's incredible to provide not just a safe space but a confidence-building experience. The new version of boudoir serves as a confidence builder more than something done for others.
My goal as a boudoir photographer is to capture natural beauty, showcasing who we are. Boudoir can extend beyond an individual experience to include partners or friends, creating a connected and empowering atmosphere. It's not just about the outfit; it's about the person inside it. Clothing, including lingerie, should be an extension of oneself, making boudoir a personal and empowering experience, should you choose it to be.
