Victoria BC Boudoir Photography - Choosing Confidence

“You can't make yourself feel positive, but you can choose how to act, and if you choose right, it builds your confidence.”
― Julien Smith

Today I feel inspired to talk about the powering of making a choice.

Is putting on lingerie and getting “sexy” photos done going to change your life? Yes, but only if you choose to let it and see the power in making that choice for yourself.

Is deciding to make the commitment to yourself, to celebrate yourself, to embody an act of pure confidence, going to change your life? Undeniably, as long as you are conscious that these are the choices you are making for yourself.

The power of boudoir lies within you: it lays within the decision you make to choose yourself. To choose confidence, to act with self-love towards yourself. It lays in you and the choices you make.

As one of my biggest self-love idols, Teri Hofford, said:

Confidence, self love, self acceptance, body love, body acceptance, courage, bravery

It's not something I have.

It's something I choose.

Confidence, acceptance, self-love - these aren’t final destinations to be arrived at. They exist in the form of separate, everyday, individual acts towards ourselves and those around us. They are each a journey of their own, and need to be honoured as such.

By now, we’ve come to recognize that the way we think and the way we act shapes how we feel, and how we perceive the world. So what if we started acting, and thinking, confidently and with unapologetic self-acceptance. If we all woke up and made the choice to be confident, and full of love for ourselves.

Imagine what that would do for you, for your friends, for the world.
