You don’t hate your body - you just don’t feel safe being seen in it - boudoir session Birmingham, UK

Most women who say they hate their body… don’t actually hate it.

What they’re scared of is being seen in it.

Because being seen has often meant being judged.

Or compared.

Or having a comment land that stayed in the body for years.

So when you think about boudoir, your brain doesn’t go

beautiful experience

it goes

that feels risky.

And honestly… how could it not?

When the world has spent years teaching you that your body is only worthy if it looks a certain way. Smaller. Smoother. Younger. "Better.”

No wonder the mirror feels like the enemy sometimes.

No wonder the idea of being photographed feels so vulnerable.

And here’s something that surprises a lot of people:

I never comment on your body.

Not negatively. Not positively either.

No “this hides your tummy”.

No “your legs look amazing”.

Because even kind comments can still feel like a spotlight.

And you’ve probably lived under one long enough.

During a boudoir session, your body isn’t up for discussion.

It’s not being evaluated.

It’s not being "fixed".

What matters is whether you feel safe.

Whether you can breathe.

Whether you can exist without bracing.

And when someone realises they’re not being watched like that - not judged, not analysed -

Something changes.

They stop apologising.

They stop performing confidence.

They just… exist.

And that’s when the images change.

Not because the body changed - but because it finally felt safe enough to be seen.
