Do You Need a Social Media Detox? | Boudoir by Daysy

Hello, Lovely! Like it or not, social media has become a huge part of our daily lives. Even if you personally never log on to Facebook or watch TikTok videos, our society and the people around us are all affected by social media. This phenomenon can be both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, social media allows us to stay connected with loved ones, learn new things, and expand our horizons. In fact, we at the studio use social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to spread body positivity messages. On the other hand, social media can cause us to doubt ourselves, play small and hide our talents, and compare ourselves unnecessarily to others. There are thousands of social media sites devoted to convincing us that we are not pretty enough, smart enough, or good enough. On a daily basis, it sometimes feels like we are being bombarded by "reminders" that we are somehow less than. Is it Time for a Social Media Detox? Let's answer the following questions to determine if social media might be making you feel bad about yourself, particularly about your body: Does social media help you to feel MORE or LESS [...]

Back to School, Back to Self-Care? | Boudoir by Daysy

Hello, Bombshell! Another summer is almost in the rear-view mirror. It's time for the kids to head back to school. WHEW. Does it seem like the last few months have been a whirlwind of company picnics, summer vacation trips, pool parties, summer camps, and the kids being the center of pretty much everything? Did you spend your summer planning fun and exciting adventures for your children? What about a fun and exciting adventure for YOU? When was the last time you planned something like that? As wives, mothers, caregivers, and career professionals, we often spend a lot of time taking care of other people. This is not a thankless task at all. However, sometimes, we can use a little tender loving care for ourselves. And one of the best ways to do this? With a boudoir photoshoot, of course! Self-Care is About More Than Bubble Baths When we talk about practicing self-care, we often think of ways to feel pampered, like getting a mani/pedi or relaxing in an inviting bubble bath. Sometimes self-care can be asking for help with household chores. These are all good things, but they aren't really enough. Practicing genuine and actual self-care means we get to [...]

We Get Love Letters! | Boudoir by Daysy

Hello, Beautiful! We're getting ready for a late summer rainstorm here. It's the perfect weather to curl up with a good book... or a stack of love letters from our awesome boudoir bombshells! "I Would Give More Than Five Stars if I Could!" Bombshell Teresa was positive she was not going to like her boudoir photoshoot, but she decided to go through with it, and she is so happy she did! Read on... Let me tell you about my boudoir photoshoot experience. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! The experience was more than a photoshoot for me, it was a chance to celebrate me and my body in a way that I never have before. I’m so glad that I went for it, even though I had some fears at first. First off, I am not someone who feels comfortable in my own skin. I don’t even change my clothes in front of my partner, if you can believe that. I am the kind of person that typically hides my body. I’ve always been a curvy woman and I try to love my curves, but I’m not always successful at that. I’m also 45 years [...]

Meet Your Boudoir Photographer | Boudoir by Daysy

Hello, Beautiful! Today I want to introduce you to your boudoir photographer, Daysy! Daysy has been a professional photographer since 2015. Between family responsibilities and running a successful studio, Daysy knows what it’s like to be last on your own priority list. She knows what it's like to look into the mirror and you see what has faded and been lost, instead of seeing the stunning, playful, and sexy woman who is still inside, but who has been neglected or put on the back burner for too long. Why Become a Boudoir Photographer? Daysy didn't begin her career as a photographer shooting boudoir photoshoots. For a long time, Daysy was a wedding photographer and videographer. However, she eventually discovered that it was boudoir photography that was especially meaningful for her. Daysy realized that boudoir photography touched something very meaningful in her soul. Here's what Daysy has to say about why she became a boudoir photographer: I’m a boudoir photographer because of what I believe most deeply in my heart. Maybe that sounds cheesy, but I’m a boudoir photographer because of how I live and what I love. At my core, I believe that boudoir photography allows me to express my [...]

Twenty Seconds of Insane Courage | Boudoir by Daysy

“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” ― Benjamin Mee in We Bought a Zoo Hello, Lovely! I heard this movie quote recently and started thinking about it. Can a brief moment of bravery really lead to something great? Can it truly alter the course of your life? What do you think? Of course, this reminded me of a boudoir photoshoot. For many women, giving themselves the gift of a boudoir photoshoot absolutely required twenty seconds of insane courage. Courage to turn off the negative inner voices telling them they weren't "right" for boudoir photos. Courage to ignore the fear of stepping into their beauty. Courage to break free of their comfort zone. The reward for enduring these twenty seconds of courage? An amazing, life-altering gift of self-care and self-love. Boudoir photography is a beautiful way to take care of yourself and unlock your inner goddess! Once that happens, everything will be different. A boudoir photoshoot might just become a pivotal moment in your life. What's Holding You Back? Here at the studio, we offer a luxury [...]

When Was the Last Time You Put Yourself First? | Boudoir by Daysy

Hello, Gorgeous! I have a few questions for you today. When was the last time you: put yourself first? really went for it? treated yourself? did something just for you? felt like the absolute QUEEN I know you are? It's probably been a minute, am I right? In fact, I bet for some of you goddesses, the answer to all those questions is, "Never!" That's because it's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day. It's so easy to put things off and to take care of everyone else except for YOU. It's Time to Celebrate YOU! If you can't remember the last time you treated yourself (and getting extra whipped cream on your frappuccino doesn't count), it's time to come to the boudoir photo studio and really celebrate yourself. A boudoir photoshoot is about exploring your sensuality and femininity. It's about feeling pampered and confident. I've seen how a boudoir photoshoot can skyrocket your confidence. I've seen how coming into the studio and really going for it can make you feel fierce, empowered, and ready to take on the world. And I believe that every woman deserves to feel that. Okay, so maybe you're thinking that this [...]
