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 [...]

I Can Read Your Mind… | Boudoir + Glamour by Daysy

Hello, Queen! I think I can read your mind. I'm sorry if that sounds a little creepy, but I think I can. Tell me if I'm on the right track--have you been thinking about any of these things recently? I've been thinking about doing a boudoir photoshoot... It sounds kind of fun... But Maybe I should get in better shape first? Do women like me even have boudoir photoshoots? What if my sexy photos get posted online? What if I don't like my photos? What if I can't pose the right way? What if my outfits are all wrong?  Is this just too far outside my little comfort zone? How did I do? Have you been thinking any of those things? Have I read your mind? It's Not Magic... Or is it? Let me tell you something, my lovely. That part is not magic. The reason that I know exactly what you're thinking is that every woman who steps in front of my camera tells me these same things.  They say that they were nervous before they booked. That they had a lot of questions about exactly what goes on at a boudoir photoshoot. They say that they weren't sure [...]

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 [...]

Hello, Bombshell! Happy Star Wars Day! I know what you're thinking. What does a boudoir photoshoot have to do with Star Wars? Plenty, as our beautiful Boudoir Princess K will show you! The Star Wars universe is full of strong and powerful women, like: Princess Leia: This fiesty bun-wearing bombshell was a fearless and dedicated leader in the fight against the evil Empire!
