Your Happiness Matters — Evansville Indiana Boudoir Photographer

How important is it to you to do things for yourself that make you feel beautiful and confident? Things that remind you of all the best parts of yourself?

I know for myself it’s really important to do things that make me feel like the main character of my life every day or I just feel a little off. Not bad, but not good either. That feeling is why I think it’s super important to build those confidence-boosting activities into your routine; whether it’s a certain type of makeup that makes you feel like a boss (top-lid eyeliner does it for me), making yourself a latte at home just to feel boujee and drink something nice, a certain article of clothing that makes you feel like you’re ready to conquer the world, or a daily routine like yoga that calls your attention to your strength. I think we all need regular reminders of how incredible we are.

Since I started my business, I decided to make boudoir an annual ritual for myself. It’s something I do to celebrate another trip around the sun, a way to capture another year of life in the books. I really love celebrating myself, my growth over the past year, and my body. (Because my body doesn’t get as much love from me as it probably should.) Plus boudoir is such a confidence booster, and it’s nice to get pampered and have someone hype you up for an hour.

Self-love and self-care rituals matter so much.

Our daily life is filled with so many to-do’s and responsibilities that I know sometimes caring for yourself can take a backseat to all the things that have to get done. I know I fall into work mode a lot and totally forget to do things just for me. The first time I ever got a massage it was a birthday gift, and I was on the table talking to my massage therapist about how it’s really hard for me to carve out time to just take care of myself. I’m always trying to be better about intentionally caring for myself, physically and mentally, so I decided that massage should be a ritual that I keep up. It makes me feel good inside and out, and really makes me feel like I’ve invested in myself and my health and made myself a priority.

Boudoir is one of those things that probably isn’t super regular for most people. Maybe you’ll be like my regulars and come in for a session every year, or maybe for some it’s a once in a lifetime experience to celebrate something really big. How do you like to celebrate — from birthdays to those really grand accomplishments? How do you create rituals to care for yourself on a grander scale than bubble baths?

No matter how you celebrate yourself, your life, and your accomplishments, I hope you take the time to do it for yourself. Whatever it looks like, whatever makes you feel cared for, I hope you make it happen for yourself.

Because everyone deserves to feel confident, beautiful, and loved.

Why did you choose to invest in a boudoir session?

I did it for myself and to support and encourage a friend as we did them together! We wanted to build each other up and empower ourselves!

Why did you choose Eleanor Elaine Photography for your session?

My friend saw her work, showed me and I loved it!

What did you do to prepare for your session?

I was stressed out with work in the weeks leading up to it but was so excited to reward myself with this at the end of the crazy busy period! I picked out all of my outfits and looked up your Instagram to get excited!

What were you most nervous about before your session?

I was nervous about how I’d feel about my body after seeing the photos

How did you feel during your session?

I felt sexy and confident! It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. I felt proud of my body and comfortable in my skin. I am so proud of the photos and of myself for embracing my body.

Would you do it again?

One thousand percent yes!!!!!

What was it like seeing your images for the first time?

I felt amazing!! I was shocked at how happy I was with how I looked in all of them and I wanted to show them off.

Was the investment was worth it?

YES! Every woman should invest in herself and experience this.

What would you say to someone who's unsure about doing a session?

That it should be just for you! You can share them if you want to but everyone deserves to have a private collection of amazing images to make them feel confident.
