FAQ: Wait...what exactly is boudoir?



various sources

Boudoir (pronounced boo-DWAR) is a French word meaning bedroom.  When the boudoir photography trend began, sensual photos of soon-to-be-wed women were taken in bedroom settings for the purpose of presenting them to their soon-to-be-husbands, usually just before the wedding ceremony. Today, this trend continues but boudoir photography is now regarded as alluring photos for any woman. Some do it to mark a milestone like an important birthday or as a reward for reaching a personal goal. Others do it to spice up their relationships or just to surprise a loved one with a fabulously unexpected gift. Still, there are others who do it just because it sounds like fun. And, trust us...it really is a lot of fun!
