Minneapolis Boudoir return clients

Coming back for more?

October 07, 20244 min read

Hey girl! Have you ever wondered why some people come back for more than one boudoir session? I know what you’re thinking—“Wait, don’t you already have enough sexy photos of yourself?” But trust me, once you’ve done it, you get it. There are so many reasons why clients come back for round two (or three... or more!), and it’s not just about collecting pretty pictures.

Boudoir is Addicting

First of all, let’s talk about the rush that comes from doing a boudoir session. It’s a total confidence boost, like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Once you’ve felt that surge of power, that “I look freaking amazing” feeling in front of the camera, it’s hard to resist doing it again. It’s like you get this high from seeing yourself in such a different light, and you just want to keep chasing that feeling! That’s why boudoir photography can be addicting in the best way possible.

You’re not just getting photos—you’re getting an experience that makes you feel sexy, strong, and empowered. And once you’ve had a taste of that, coming back for more feels like a no-brainer.

Boudoir Photos Make the Perfect Gift

Second reason? Boudoir photos make amazing gifts. Whether you’re gifting them to a significant other, a close friend, or even keeping them for yourself (because self-love is a whole vibe), there’s something magical about giving or receiving a tangible reminder of beauty, strength, and sensuality.

And let’s be real for a second—who doesn’t love an ego boost now and then? Boudoir photos are like that perfect pick-me-up when you need a reminder of how freaking fabulous you are. Every time you (or your lucky recipient) look at those photos, it’s like, “Yep, that’s me! I am that gorgeous.”

Celebrating Milestones and Life Events

Then there’s the fact that boudoir sessions are a great way to celebrate life’s milestones. Did you do your first session to celebrate turning 30? Awesome! Now maybe it’s time for another one to commemorate a new chapter—whether it’s getting married, having a child, hitting a fitness goal, or just feeling extra good in your skin.

Each session can capture a different moment in your life, and each moment is worth celebrating. Maybe you did your first shoot to embrace your body as it is, and now you’re ready to do another one to reflect on how far you’ve come, whether that’s emotionally, mentally, or physically. And you don’t even need a specific “reason”—sometimes, it’s just about feeling amazing in your own skin and wanting to celebrate that whenever you can.

My Own Boudoir Addiction!

Can I be totally real for a second? I get it, girl—I’m right there with you! I personally do a boudoir shoot every year now, and let me tell you—it’s a little FOMO (fear of missing out), a little self-love, and a whole lot of fun. As a photographer, I get to make women look and feel amazing all the time, and if I don’t book my own session, I start to feel jealous!

There’s nothing like being on the other side of the camera and feeling that same surge of confidence that I see in my clients. Boudoir makes me feel sexy and powerful, and like I said before—it’s frikin’ addicting. Plus, I love supporting other photographers and paying them what they’re worth for their amazing art. My next session? I’m thinking I’m gonna drop about 3K because I just know I’m going to fall in love with all the photos!

There’s No Shame in Doing Multiple Sessions

Look, here’s the thing: there is no shame in doing multiple boudoir sessions. In fact, I highly encourage it! Life is short, and we should celebrate our bodies and beauty as often as possible. Our bodies change, our confidence grows, and there’s always a reason to capture where you are in life right now. Maybe this time around, you’ll try a different style, a new look, or a bolder pose. Or maybe you’ll simply recreate that same feeling of empowerment you felt the first time.

Whatever your reason, coming back for more boudoir is a way of saying, “I deserve to feel amazing in my skin—again and again.” So go ahead, queen, book that second, third, or even fourth session. Let yourself feel sexy, empowered, and unstoppable, because that’s exactly what you are!

Keep slaying, and remember—there’s always room for more confidence, more self-love, and more stunning photos of you looking like the absolute bombshell you are. 💕
