If you want beautiful photographs of yourself but you are not sure which experience fits, this is the comparison you need. Beauty photography vs boudoir comes down to one thing: the feeling you are after.
Both are guided, both are luxurious, and both are designed to make you love how you see yourself. They just get there differently.
Beauty: elevated and glamorous
A beauty session is high fashion brought to you: magazine cover, runway, editorial glamour. Striking light, flawless hair and makeup, production-style fans for that wind-swept motion, and portraits that feel polished and powerful. It is fully clothed and all about drama (full details here: What Is a Beauty Session)
Boudoir: intimate and personal
A boudoir session is more intimate and sensual, about feeling bold in your own skin. And to answer the question everyone asks, no, you do not have to wear lingerie
Which one is right for you?
Choose beauty if you want to feel glamorous and elevated. Choose boudoir if you want to feel bold and reconnected with yourself. Not sure? Here’s the bigger-picture guide across all our sessions: Beauty, Branding, or Boudoir
You can also have both
This is the part our clients love. You do not have to choose. We regularly shoot a combination in a single day, because we know how to photograph women beautifully in every format.
If you are looking to do a boudoir session, 3mpower Women is the perfect place. Every woman should have the experience I just had. Setting up your shoot date is very simple and it can be done in a short time frame, or it can be planned out months in advanced. The waredrobe selection is vast and there are so many options to choose from. You will definitely find whatever vibe you are going for. Hair and makeup is done professionally, all you need to do is show up. Gina and Lilly are wonderful people, they made me feel so comfortable during my shoot. They helped me get into poses and they hyped me up along the way. My pictures are so good. I have never felt more confident and I can’t wait to give my album to my husband. Truly, if you are even considering boudoir, just do it. It’s a wonderful and beautiful experience at 3mpower women.
