How Boudoir Photography Builds Confidence, Self-Love, and Body Acceptance for Women

Liz talks about what a boudoir session is really like—why it’s important to block out a half day just for you, how the experience often becomes a day of self-care and self-acceptance, and why many women come out of their sessions feeling more confident, proud, and liberated than they ever expected. She explains how seeing your body through a new lens—literally and metaphorically—can shift your self-perception and remind you of your inherent value, worth, and beauty.

Kim and Liz also explore common hesitations women have before a shoot and why those fears often melt away once they see the final images. Liz shares deeply affirming insights about how boudoir can be part of a broader journey of self-love—not because the camera “fixes” anything, but because it reveals something the woman has always carried inside.

Liz also talks about her recently published book, A Year of Body Confidence: 365 Days of Affirmations and Actions for Women, a daily resource for grounding self-love and confidence-building habits (link below).

Whether you’re curious about a boudoir experience or you’re navigating issues with body image, confidence, or self-worth, this conversation offers compassionate perspective and encouragement to see yourself as stronger, more worthy, and more beautiful than you might have believed.
