Boudoir as a not-so-traditional wedding anniversary gift!
While I’m all about doing this just for yourself, I do think that keeping that sexy and confident spark alive can do wonders for your relationship.
Signs you could use a boudoir photoshoot to help your marriage
you feel so overwhelmed with life that you just can’t seem to get in the mood
you don’t have any lingerie that makes you feel good
your body has changed and you feel less comfortable in your skin
you wonder if you’re still attractive
I get it. I’m a mom of two young boys. I’m restarting a business in a new part of the country. I’m 25 pounds heavier than I was on my wedding day. We met in college, so inevitably our dedication to sexy time has dwindled.
I have had boudoir done since I was a newlywed and the effect it has on me has evolved over the years. At first it was about being playful and flirtatious. As I got older and had kids, it reminded me to keep seeing myself as my husband’s girlfriend… not just his wife.
One client of mine told me that when she and her husband snuggle into bed for storytime, they read their favorite “storybook” which is her boudoir album. She gets the thrill of seeing her photos, but also seeing his reaction to them.
So if you want to jump-start that sexy time or just keep the fires burning… let me give you an excuse by turning every traditional anniversary gift into a boudoir-related gift.
