Learning to Love Yourself—Why You Don’t Need a Significant Other to Book a Boudoir Session

Learning to Love Yourself—Why You Don’t Need a Significant Other to Book a Boudoir Session

I often hear potential clients say that they are ready to say YES to a GRIT&GRACE Boudoir shoot but are hesitant because they don’t have a significant other to do it for.


They ask, “Is it worth it, if the photos are just for me?”


My answer is a resounding “HELL YEAH!” My clients are empowered and independent women who love these photos for themselves.


There are so many reasons to book a shoot for yourself, particularly in a month where everyone is celebrating love.

Shouldn’t self-love be our number one priority?

Say YES to a shoot and gift yourself the ultimate act of self-love. 

While a Boudoir session can be an incredibly thoughtful and intimate gift for your partner, you certainly don’t need a significant other to reap the benefits of a GRIT&GRACE session. You’ll be empowered by the experience, strutting out of my boudoir studio in Grand Rapids as a stronger, more confident woman, ready to take on the world with a fresh outlook on yourself! 


The fact that you’re even reading this tells me that you’re ready to take the first step in your journey to self-love. You’re ready to stand in yourself, regardless of whether or not you are coupled up! Encapsulate these empowered feelings and liberate yourself, for YOURSELF.


Flowers and chocolates from someone special are nice, but transformative photos of you last a lifetime. 

Gifting yourself a GRIT&GRACE Boudoir shoot is a life-changing gift. While snapping a photo of a gift from a Valentine for your social media may make you feel special in that moment, your GRIT&GRACE photos will make you feel special for a lifetime. Flowers may wilt, but your photos and your transformation endure. 


I encourage you to come as you are and know that YOU are enough. During your session, you’ll be pampered with professional hair and makeup that highlights your natural beauty. Then we’ll throw on some music as I help you pose in photos that will help you reclaim and showcase your sexiness and confidence. You’ll end the day feeling proud of your best features and loving the rest of your bod a little bit more. These are just a few reasons why a GRIT&GRACE Boudoir shoot is the ultimate celebration of your body and soul!


Embark on a journey of self-exploration.

Our comfort zones allow us to feel safe, but what if this could be stretched? What if you were encouraged to celebrate your whole self—even the parts that you sometimes choose to hide? My signature GRIT&GRACE Boudoir journey will grow your mindset to include comfort and acceptance in places you may not have before. This experience will lead you to say YES more often, opening up opportunities in every facet of your life. I hear this feedback over and over again from my GRIT&GRACE women!


It may sound like a lot to expect from a photo shoot, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a lens for you to see yourself in a whole new way. You’ll be amazed at how quickly your “imperfections” become your favorite parts of yourself. The Boudoir experience will push you in ways you never imagined possible. It is transformative. It is raw. It may even be a little gritty. But you are a strong independent woman and I can promise you that above all, the Boudoir experience will teach you to love and accept yourself more—embracing ALL the things that make you YOU!
