- You’re worth it. Period. You may not be the “diva” type, but you deserve to be treated like one, and you will be even more convinced after a day in the boudoir studio. Just come with clean, dry hair, a naked face, and a few of your favorite wardrobe pieces. We’ll take care of all the rest.
- You lost weight (or gained it, or it’s still there). You don’t have to lose weight (or get into any kind of shape) before booking your shoot. This is the time to celebrate what you look like right now, in your own body.
- You have *maybe* five photos of just you. You spend hundreds of dollars a year on photos of other people (family photos, school photos, sports team photos), and yet, you don’t have a single photo of yourself besides the selfies on your camera roll. Let’s change that.
- You’re getting married. Probably the most common reason women book boudoir shoots at UNVEILED and everywhere else—to give as a gift to their partner right before walking down the aisle. Our “little black book” albums will make your partner feel like they’re in on your best kept secret, and will set the mood for the rest of the evening.
- It’s your wedding anniversary. I love watching the same brides come in for their first wedding anniversary gift. Whether you’ve been married for a year or 30 years, a boudoir album is the perfect way to say, “You’re still the one.”
- You’re getting a divorce. But you’re not an ex-wife. You’re a present woman. Take the high road, do it for YOU, and you will look back on these years with a smile on your face.
- You’re single and living your best life. Before you dive into another relationship, you’ve taken a minute to focus on you. Good girl! There’s nothing better than being happy all on your own. Savour this independence and preserve it like a homemade jam. <3
- You had a baby. We love babies, but we love new moms more. You did all the work, after all. Get a sitter and peel yourself away for a few hours of glamorous model treatment. You won’t regret it.
- You’re pregnant. You definitely want to do one of those pregnancy photo shoots, but instead of holding a chalkboard in a cornfield, you’d like to be in your panties and something sheer. In other words, you have the rest of your life to be a mommy, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a hot mama right now, today, bump and all.
- You got a new job. Maybe you got a promotion, or maybe you took a pay cut to change career paths. Either way, you’re a strong minded woman who is in charge of her success and her paycheck. Spend a little on yourself.
- You got a boob job. So you’re probably in the market for some new bras. Get yourself something a little extra and wear it for your shoot!
- You have a favorite piece of lingerie. And it’s not going to look like that forever. One day that lacy thing is going to mysteriously change shape (blame the laundry), and you’ll want something to remember it by.
- You’ve never worn lingerie. You’d be surprised how very common this is. In fact, some women don’t bring lingerie to their shoot at all. If you’re more of a T-shirt and cotton panties girl, bring it. A sweatshirt with a little shoulder cleavage, hot. Even a swimsuit and a floppy hat. And if you do want to try lingerie for the first time, this is a pretty legit excuse.
- It’s been awhile since you treated yourself. I firmly believe you should give yourself a treat every single day, whether it’s a latte, a bubble bath, or a trip to the salon. If it’s been awhile, that just means you have been saving up your treat allowance…
- Your hair is finally long enough to put in a messy bun. A milestone, like riding a bike without training wheels, the messy bun is a good look for boudoir shoots. The messier, the better.
- You just shaved your head. You’re one of those women who can pull off any hairstyle, including buzzed. It’s damn sexy when women shave their heads—as you don’t need to be told, because you’re not doing it for anyone but yourself. This level of confidence takes a boudoir shoot from hot to hot damn.
- You just shaved your legs. There’s nothing like a set of freshly shaven legs against clean sheets, am I right?
- You got a new tattoo. You’re in good company because we love tattoos! Getting them and photographing them. We’ll even get some closeups to commemorate your new ink.
- You are often comparing yourself to other women. And surely you have seen boudoir photos of other women and compared yourself to them, too. We all do it. ALL OF US. But when you’re on the other side of the camera, something special happens. You start to understand all the ways that you’re beyond compare. And every time you look at your own boudoir photos, it will be a reminder of that.
- You need a new photo for your online dating profile. As long as you’re ready for a very busy dating life the moment you post it.
- You’re ready to feel like yourself again. We know that feeling. A bit out of touch with who you are, who you were, who you want to be. A boudoir shoot can help you reconnect with that person. It’s all about seeing yourself from someone else’s lens.
- You need some new wall art. Albums are our most popular gift item, but it’s not uncommon to frame some photos for yourself. Hang them in your personal space to remind you (and any guests) that you’re the queen.
- You want to spice up your marriage or relationship. Disclaimer: a boudoir shoot won’t fix your marriage or relationship, but it will add flavor if that’s what you’re missing.
- It’s your birthday. Don’t focus on getting a year older. Put on your birthday suit and party with us.
- It’s someone else’s birthday. A special someone else who’d love to keep a piece of you forever.
- Your spouse wears a uniform to work. If you can sneak off with it, bring your spouse’s work or military uniform to your shoot. Photographing women in their partners’ uniforms is just one of the many ways we personalize boudoir shoots.
- It’s so completely unlike you. A little role play is good for the soul. You might even discover a side of yourself that you never knew existed.
- Your friend did it. Tell us her name, and you’ll get a discount through our referral program.
- You need an energy boost. Like anything new—new foods, new places, new sexual experiences—a boudoir shoot will trigger the endorphins in your brain and recharge your energy.
- You’re going through a rough time. We have a hair and makeup artist who will distract you with your own beauty, a photographer who will find all your best angles, and a photo assistant who will have you laughing between each and every shot. One of our clients said her three hours with UNVEILED was worth more than a year of therapy.
- You literally can’t remember the last time you soaked in a tub.You used to take long, warm baths all the time. Then you went a few nights without one. Then a couple weeks. Next thing you know, it’s been six months since you took anything more than a morning shower. It’s a slippery slope (sorry, I couldn’t help myself). Good thing we have a clawfoot bathtub IN the studio, and no one yelling for you to hurry up. <3
- You like extremes. Us, too. A boudoir shoot is the perfect occasion to be extremely… extra. Extra sexy, extra glamorous, extra dramatic. If that’s your thing, this is your thing.
- You’re a pretty young thing (PYT). Your skin! Your hair! That face! These are the years when you can roll out of bed and look fresh for brunch with little to no effort. Book NOW, while gravity is your friend.
- You’re turning 30. THE BEST age. Your 20s are behind you. You’ve learned from your mistakes. You’ve grown into your “look” and you have a newfound peace of mind. Book NOW, while you’re at the top of your game.
- You’re turning 60. People go to you for advice. Why? Because you have striking beauty and wisdom. You’re practically a goddess. Book NOW, while the world is at your feet.
- You feel alive and well. Doesn’t matter how young or old you are—you’re just feeling at your personal best. That’s a good place to be, and the best time to book a boudoir shoot.
- You’re training for a marathon. You’ve been eating clean, working out, and building muscle. These aren’t required for your boudoir shoot (see #2 on this list), but what great timing you have.
- Your spouse is impossible to buy for. Or impossible to surprise, or impossible to please, or all three (bless your heart, dear woman). A boudoir album is something your boo won’t expect and will never forget.
- You have millions of amazing freckles. Freckles are such a unique and sexy feature. Like nature’s glitter. Some women pay big money to have henna freckles—but you were born with them, you lucky girl.
- You have fine lines and wrinkles. And you worked hard for every one of them.
- It’s Father’s Day. Tools are nice, but you’re hotter.
- It’s Mother’s Day. Do you feel guilty when you step away for five minutes? We’re going to need you to set that guilt aside and spend a whole day in our studio. Don’t be shy to ask for this as a gift—or, give it to yourself.
- Your youngest child just moved out. Did you think this day would ever come? Just a minute ago you were changing diapers in the middle of the night, eating Cheerios in the middle of the morning like a zombie. What are you going to do with all this free time? Spare a day and get reacquainted with yourself in the studio.
- You just became a grandma. But correct me if I’m wrong—you don’t feel like a grandma? Maybe you feel younger and more alive than ever? Maybe this baby is giving you life like you’ve never known it before? That. Let’s document that.
- You’re nervous in front of a camera. Camera shyness is one of those fears you can’t quite explain, like karaoke or public speaking. It won’t kill you, but it definitely kills the mood. Our studio has a history of making women feel oddly at ease with the camera. It might even be the cure you’ve been looking for.
- You have a killer pair of heels just sitting in your closet. Do it for the shoes. We have a few poses we like to pull out of our bag for this scenario.
- You’re a performer—an actress, model, singer, or other professional who needs a full-body photo shoot for your portfolio, website, or upcoming casting call. I’m sure you’re already great in front of a camera. Let’s talk!
- You have a nerdy passion or hobby. Gaming? Star Wars? Balloon animals? We can take your shoot in any direction with styling and props. Remember, sexy comes in all formats, and we like to get weird!
- You’ve never done it before. Our first-time clients have the most fun, and a lot of them come back at least one more time.
- You got it, so flaunt it. And if you don’t know how to flaunt it, we can certainly ease you into it.
