5 Reasons To Indulge In A Couples Boudoir Shoot | Vancouver Island Boudoir

There’s no secret I love empowering people to fall deeper in love with themselves through boudoir photography. The experience is incredibly transformative, and a perfect exploratory space to connect deeper with your inner self.

But what I told you that for all those reasons - AND MORE - it’s equally as powerful for couples? And less nerve-wracking, to boot. Let’s dive into my top 5 reasons you need to stop day dreaming about a couples boudoir session, and do the damn thing.

***

#1. Connect with each other on a deeper level.

Life can get muddy, stressful, and can make us get lost in our daily frustrations and struggles. Being able to connect with each other in this safe container helps reestablish your intimacy, deepen your connection to one another, and lets you feel like you’re falling in love all over again. When was the last time you spent two hours just running your hands all over each other, with the only intention of enjoying each others presence? No objective. No end game. Just togetherness. Sound juicy? It is.

#2. To commemorate a milestone, a transition, a new beginning.

Boudoir is a unique and powerful way to celebrate big milestones in life. For the same reason someone can choose to celebrate a birthday or milestone in a self love session, it’s equally as powerful to celebrate those milestones together. A wedding, engagement, birthday, a new baby on the way, anniversary – you name it. Having photos that celebrate this part of your journey together is the ultimate gift to yourselves in this moment, and in the future.

#3. You won’t be able to stop staring at each other – for years to come.

Trust me when I say from personal experience, that having photos of your lover looking at you like you are the most beautiful person in the world, and you at them, is a feeling like nothing else. We rarely get to see those moments where our partner is staring at us with absolute adoration in their eyes - but during your couples session I work extra hard to make sure I catch all those “I’m obsessed with you” looks you’ll be giving one another. And when you look back on the photos together years down the road, it’ll still give you butterflies.

#4. It’s less intimidating than solo-boudoir.

Solo boudoir can seem like the scariest thing in the world for anyone who isn’t comfortable in front of the camera. You are the subject of the session - the lone focus of that cameras attention. And while leaning into that experience is incredibly liberating and transformative, taking that initial leap can seem like standing at the edge of an airplane getting ready to sky dive. Couples boudoir offers you a safety net: each other. It’s not just you in front of the camera, your lover is there to support you, and you them. You get to enjoy each other, play, laugh, indulge, and sometimes even forget that someone is taking your picture!

#5. Your love is worthy of being documented.

People often only indulge in professional photography a few times in their lives, and it’s usually for a wedding, new born photos, or business headshots. And while those are all beautiful reasons to hire a professional – your love for each other is beautiful and worth celebrating. They may become some of the photos you look back on the most. They will bring you together when you’re separated, remind you of your love for each other when things get hard, and reignite sparks and intimacy when life gets in the way. They can be a reminder of your love, and the kindling to help fuel many fires of connection for years to come.

Are you ready to celebrate your love through boudoir photography?
