Bridal Boudoir Photography for the Older Lady

By Helen Booth




Arranging a boudoir photograph shoot is something which is becoming increasingly popular with girls of any age group, not just little girls with ideal figures however increasingly, by older women in their thirties, 40's and even fifties. The reasons for boudoir's increasing popularity amongst older girls are wide and sundry but , sometimes, girls are becoming far less bashful about their bodies than used to be. TV programs like How to Look Great Nakedhave done much to promote this view by demonstrating that, with a bit of help, any person can look great regardless of their shape or age.

What Incentivizes a Woman to have a Boudoir Photo-Shoot?

Each woman will have her very own reasons but the key motivations sometimes come under the following headings:

Life Changes

Wedding- many girls booking a boudoir photo-shoot are doing so as a gift for their future husband. Although generally young brides there are an increasing number of older women, maybe marrying the second time around, who are organizing a bridal boudoir shoot as a gift idea for their new man.

Pregnancy- pregnancy boudoir is another growing trend and this is especially well-liked by ladies in their thirties who are beginning a family later on in life and, maybe, are at an advantage financially over younger women who may be restricted in terms of budget?

Divorce- getting divorced can be a stressful and depressing experience for obvious reasons. But some ladies are taking the opportunity to start over - and what finer way than a confidence strengthening and empowering set of images to remind them that they've still got a lot to be positive about?

Milestones

Reaching a certain age is a significant point in anyone's life and a boudoir shoot is particularly well-liked by women who have just turned 40 and 50. What used to be considered middle-age is now being thought of as a new beginning and some ladies do really come 'into-their-own ' at this time of life.

Body Changes

A recent weight management is typically a large reason to celebrate and a group of photographs showing you in a way you might never have thought possible is a great way of recording a dieting success - not to mention an amazing motivation to stay that way!

The booming popularity of plastic surgery is also another motivating factor - especially for people that have had a little enhancement up-top.

What about nerves and absence of confidence?

Thinking about a boudoir shoot is one thing; actually going ahead with it can be another matter? Some girls will naturally be apprehensive when referring to posing for a professional cameraman although there actually is no real need. The benefit of boudoir style photography is it's up to you what is shown and what is not - begin at your own comfort level and see how it goes: a good paparazzo will shortly put you at ease and you'll be shocked by how much fun it can be!

Pick the Correct Snapper and the Rest is Straightforward

Choosing the snapper is something you do not need to rush - look through examples of their work and see which have photographs you like. Each shutter-bug will have their own style and you'll soon see which work best with women in your age group. Some women will prefer a female photographer while others might like a male view on what looks engaging - it really is down to you?

Above everything else , enjoy the experience, take your time and have a good time - it should, of course , be an experience you never forget.
