Busting Excuses
When we get nervous, we make excuses. it's human nature.
we make excuses not to love ourselves or take care of ourselves. Sometimes life is just crazy, chaotic and busy. We are too crazy at work or always have to drive someone SOMEWHERE. sometimes it is important to spend time with our spouse. We also use excuses like “I wanna lose 15 pounds first!” and “I just don’t have the money right now.” I want to write this to show you all that no matter the excuse you CAN do it. Let me show you that no matter the excuse, you are worthy of self love.
“I don’t have enough time for myself”
It’s also important to remember that if you aren’t taking care of yourself mentally you’re not going to be able to handle taking care of everyone else. which makes sense but is actually much harder said than done sometimes! I am the worst at making sure I’m giving myself mental health breaks and that’s why I think it’s so important to share this with you all - I make the same excuses as above and sometimes I need someone to look me in the face and say "slow down! give yourself a break to breathe for a minute!" If you are able to breathe and love yourself for a few hours? Think of all the energy you’ll save on a daily basis if you stop comparing yourself to others or stop worrying about what other people will think of how you look. You will get to see where your beauty really comes from! This lifts such a huge mental weight. You need to take time for yourself. Why not spend it having an amazing time and getting glammed up for once?
“I’m not where I want to be weight wise / I don’t fit the media’s idea of a good enough size”
Did you know that the body type portrayed in advertising as the ideal body type is possessed naturally by only 5% of American females? ONLY FIVE PERCENT!
I will say this over and over again (and sorry, not sorry if you’ve heard me say it before) but why do you have to be a certain size to love yourself? Why do you have to fit a stranger's messed up idea of a perfect body to love your own body? Why are you comparing your size to everyone else when NO two women are the same??
I think it’s amazing to have goals and to want to get healthy, but does that mean you have to hate your body to do those things? Absolutely not!! You should love yourself every step of the way. In fact, it's EASIER to accomplish your goals and be motivated with the positive mindset of bettering yourself over the negative mindset of hating where your body is at. Be proud of where you are so that you can be proud of where you’re going! Have a boudoir shoot to celebrate where you are now and then have one when you lose 15 pounds to celebrate how far you’ve come!! It's critical to have a positive mindset when striving for your goals.
“So just to add to the testimonial of what a mental confidence shift a session with you does. I’ve lost 25lbs since my session. Not because I felt like I had to to be worthy, but because I finally realized, I’m hot AF exactly as I am but prioritizing my health is important and I’m freaking worth the effort.” - Cortney
“I never feel sexy or sensual anymore so a boudoir shoot isn’t for me”
WRONG.
This excuse is actually the EXACT reason you should do a boudoir shoot!
often times we lose touch with our femininity or sexuality when life gets crazy because of health / kids / work. It happens a lot and it is absolutely normal and okay! the perfect way to find this side of ourselves again is to have a boudoir shoot done to let that spark back in. I can show you that you have that inside you somewhere and it might even ignite a spark between you and your spouse as well. Another thing to remember is that you don’t have to wear super sexy clothing, lingerie if you feel like this doesn’t show your personality. there are so many other outfit ideas. If you need ideas, I will gladly talk to you about them or you can check out our blog on finding outfits or other wardrobe ideas here 👉🏻👉🏻 What The Heck Do I Wear
“A boudoir shoot is an investment and I don’t have all the money right now”
Yes, it is an investment.
It is also an investment in yourself. You are investing in your well-being and confidence as well. We do offer payment plans in order to book your shoot. There is a booking retainer due upfront when you book your date and after that we can set up your customizable payment plan for the remaining amount! it's much easier to commit to the investment when its broken up into manageable, smaller payments leading up to session day.
