When Is It Okay to Lie? | Boudoir by Daysy

Hello, beautiful! When is it okay to lie, in your opinion? Well, not on your taxes, that's for sure. And it's never a good idea to lie under oath. But what about little white lies? Are they okay? What if the lie is for a good cause? For example, what if you are trying to keep a big secret from a very special someone? Surprise, Surprise While I do not encourage lying--especially lying to your significant other--sometimes, there are good reasons to do so. Let's say, for example, that you're planning a boudoir photoshoot. And let’s say that you want to give the boudoir album to someone special in your life. And let’s say that you want to keep this boudoir photoshoot and album a surprise from that special someone. See where I am going with this? You might have to come up with a little white lie about where you’re going and what you’re doing. And why you’re coming home with your hair and makeup done. Am I right? Is there really anything wrong with that? No! So, if you are unaccustomed to telling the occasional little white lie, here are some tiny fibs that you can use: If [...]

Sweater Season at the Studio | Boudoir by Daysy

Hello, goddess! Another summer is winding down--where does the time go?? Soon autumn will be here, with falling leaves, warm apple cider, pumpkin spice everything... and sweaters! Now, I know what you're thinking. Sweaters for a boudoir photoshoot? Really? Can something so soft and comfy really make me look sexy? Girl. Yes! Don't believe me? Take a peek. Sweaters are actually a wonderful thing to bring to the studio for your boudoir photoshoot. First, they are so comfortable and we feel so good wearing them. If you're a little nervous about being photographed in your lingerie, adding a sweater can make you feel less anxious. Another advantage to adding a sweater is the variety of ways you can wear them. Sweaters that show a little extra skin are incredibly alluring! Think off the shoulder, plunging necklines, or backless options. Sweaters can also work great as a way to show off other accessories, like jewelry or maybe a killer pair of boots! What are the Best Sweaters for Boudoir? Just about any sweater can work for boudoir! They can be glamorous and sophisticated or flirty and romantic. Generally, sweaters that can be pulled off one shoulder and do not have tight [...]

What a Boudoir Photoshoot Isn’t | Boudoir by Daysy

Hello, Bombshell! We've talked a lot about what a boudoir photoshoot is -- a truly amazingly empowering experience designed to show you how truly gorgeous you are inside and out. Today, however, I'm going to talk about what a boudoir photoshoot isn't. Boudoir is NOT About Body Shaming Have you ever heard about the diet motivation "tip" of posting an unflattering picture of yourself as a way to stay motivated to lose weight? No way do we promote body shaming for any reason! In fact, a boudoir photoshoot is meant to be exactly the opposite. It's meant to be a celebration of the gorgeous woman you are, right this minute. Please do not plan a boudoir photoshoot as a punishment for not being flawless or as a negative motivator to lose weight. There is no room for self-hatred in the boudoir studio. Boudoir is NOT Pornography Pornography is defined as sexually explicit videos, photographs, or writings that are produced solely for sexual arousal. Boudoir photography, on the other hand, celebrates a woman's authentic self; her strength, beauty, and spirit are all captured and celebrated. Boudoir photography celebrates every aspect of a woman, from her beautiful body to her shining soul. [...]

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 [...]

Meet Boudoir Bombshell Susan! “BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL” SERIES

We are so excited to welcome hottie Susan to the elite Boudoir Bombshell Club! Susan isn't new to glamour photoshoots--in fact, she had a "somewhat" boudoir-style photo session when she was in her twenties. Susan ran across those photos recently and laughed at her "big 80's hair." Another difference between her early experience and the photoshoot with Daysy? That first shoot was "definitely not as risque" as her shoot with Daysy. Ooh-lah-lah! Susan confessed that she had been feeling down about her menopausal body and was looking for something she could do to feel excited about again. Another reason was as a gift to her husband. But the coolest reason, for Susan? "My mom, who passed away in a car accident in 1999, had done a boudoir shoot when she was about the same age as me." How awesome is that, to have side-by-side boudoir photos? Susan loves the similarity of her headshots and those of her mom. Let's talk about the shoot. How was your experience? At first, Susan was definitely nervous about being scantily clad in front of someone other than her husband! Daysy quickly put her at ease, however, and soon Susan forgot about being nervous and [...]
