Pregnancy is a sacred time before motherhood that is your own individual experience. It is the final moments of existing as yourself before transforming to meet the needs of another human. Even if this isn't your first pregnancy, you change again and again.

One aspect of boudoir that doesn’t get talked much about is the healing aspect of doing a shoot. The main concept of healing is returning to a state of wholeness or feeling well overall. It’s finding alignment and balance within the mind, body, and spirit. Did you know that doing a boudoir shoot can be an incredibly powerful experience in finding healing in your own life? Let’s talk about it! 

If you’ve had a baby, you’re no stranger to the mental and physical changes that come with having a baby. You literally have changed from your head to your toes. That is a lot to process! As magical and badass as it is to know you grew and brought life into the world, the aftermath is complicated for everyone. We’re here to remind you that, girl, your postpartum body is worth celebrating! 

Hi, I’m Rebecca! I am a previous (and returning) client of Emma Early! I’ve had two boudoir shoots with Emma, with another to come. I’m convinced that everyone should do more than one boudoir shoot to embrace different sides of themselves. The variety of sexy photos I have are so fun to look back on, and I am still so surprised about how vastly different my sessions were. Let’s talk about how my first boudoir experience differed from my second!

Maybe you’ve spent the past few months being drained at your job or working through school. I’m sure you’ve done an incredible job meeting the constant needs of your family, partner, and kids (including your furry and not-so-furry kids!). Have you had a loss that has had a heavy impact on you? Is there a huge goal you’ve met and haven’t gotten the chance to celebrate?! What if we told you now is the best time to invest in yourself.

One of our main values at Emma Early Photography is embracing authenticity. To embrace our individuality, we must come to peace and realize that our identity and beauty weren’t ever meant to be stagnant. Every version of ourselves is worth documenting because we constantly grow and change into new people through lived experiences.

Hey friend! We're so glad you're here. We talk a lot about what to bring and what to expect for a session, but sometimes, we need a reminder of what we shouldn't be bringing to the studio for your boudoir session. We have the absolute best clients, so we know most of these shouldn't be a problem! Use this post as a gentle reminder of our expectations for a smooth and luxurious experience for all our clients!

We talk so much about the external factors and benefits of boudoir that sometimes we forget to look deep into ourselves. If you take time to process things (Hi, I am definitely this type of person myself!), this post is for you! Journaling is a really healthy and productive way to help you process your boudoir experience.

Of course, it is so fun and exciting to spice up relationships with a boudoir shoot, but we also want our single ladies to be empowered, too! If you’re single, we encourage you to do the shoot for yourself. Here are five reasons why!

A majority of us have stretch marks or scars, whether from trauma, childbearing, or simply the ebbs and flows of our changing bodies as we grow older. There is no shame in embracing the changes in our bodies. Read that again; it is never your responsibility to feel shame about your body
