Why I Shoot Boudoir

Hi everyone! My name is Tamara and I’m the owner of Alsadig Boudoir.

People often ask me what got me into boudoir photography and today I wanted to give you a little backstory!

I had been taking pictures for a couple of years when I first discovered boudoir. Up until that point I had shot a mix of weddings, portraits, newborn shots and landscape photography but I couldn’t really decide what I wanted to focus my photography on.

I remember the exact day when that changed and I discovered my passion for boudoir photography. A client contacted me and asked me to do a boudoir shoot. It was my first boudoir session and I was a little nervous. (Yes, even photographers get a little nervous sometimes, especially when doing something for the first time.)

So we set up the date and talked about ideas and visions for the shoot. On the day of the shoot my client came to the studio and everything went smoothly. What I didn’t expect was her reaction when she saw her pictures. She was super excited and told me that it took her a while to feel confident about her body again after having kids. She said she hadn’t felt that empowered and confident in a long time.

Before that day, nobody had ever been so moved by my photography. Of course, people have always liked the photos I took of them even before shooting boudoir but it’s different when you can make somebody feel confident, beautiful and empowered, especially in times when they might have doubted themselves.

That was the moment I realized what an impact my photography could have on somebody’s life and I knew that I wanted to focus on creating an experience for women where they could feel beautiful and confident and show a side of themselves that they don’t get to see on a day-to-day basis.
