Maine & NH Boudoir Studio // Sorry, But Your Man’s Opinion Doesn’t Matter Here” (And Here’s Why That’s a Good Thing)
Let me just go ahead and say the quiet part out loud:
You don’t need your partner’s permission to do a boudoir shoot.
There. I said it. Breathe it in. Let it marinate.
Now let’s get into it.
Boudoir isn’t about being someone else’s fantasy.
It’s about realizing that you already are one.
I can’t tell you how many times I hear this line:
“I’ve always wanted to do a session, but my boyfriend/husband/partner doesn’t like the idea of me taking sexy photos.”
Uhhh, I hate to break it to you…
But this shoot? It’s not for them.
It’s for you.
For the you who hasn’t felt powerful in a while.
For the you who’s been hiding behind oversized tees and messy buns (no shade, I live in both).
For the you who wants to see yourself through eyes that don’t pick apart your reflection every damn day.
Let’s be real. If your partner is insecure about you doing something that makes you feel beautiful, strong, and confident—then the problem isn’t the boudoir session.
It’s the fact that your glow might intimidate their grip on you.
(And if they’re not insecure, and you just assumed they wouldn’t be cool with it? Maybe give them more credit. And if not? Still not their call.)
This session isn’t about what they’ll think when they see the photos.
It’s about what you’ll feel when you do.
Because the transformation that happens in front of the camera?
It’s not just about poses and lingerie and dramatic lighting (though yes, we’re doing all that too).
It’s about dropping the weight of everyone else’s opinions—including the one you sleep next to—and doing something entirely for you.
You don’t need to justify self-love. You don’t need permission to feel sexy. You don’t need to explain your choices to anyone.
And if you walk out of your session with a little more fire in your step and they can’t handle it?
That sounds like a them problem.
