Picture this: you walk into a boudoir studio, bubbling with excitement, ready to unleash your inner goddess in that adorable babydoll lingerie you've been eyeing for weeks. But hold your horses! The photographer takes one look at your outfit and gasps, "Oh no, honey, we don't shoot babydolls here. It's just not our style."

Excuse me? Did we accidentally step into the Twilight Zone where babydolls are banned from boudoir? Last time we checked, boudoir was all about embracing your sensuality in whatever makes you feel like a million bucks, whether that's lace, silk, or yes, even a cute little babydoll!

And don't even get us started on the absurd notion that being plus-sized isn't for boudoir. Newsflash, folks: sexy doesn't come in a one-size-fits-all package! Every body is a boudoir body, and anyone who says otherwise needs a reality check faster than you can say "strike a pose."

But wait, there's more! Some studios have the audacity to claim they can't handle African American women's makeup. Are you kidding us? Makeup is makeup, folks! Whether it's enhancing natural features, creating bold looks, or celebrating cultural expressions, it's all beautiful, and it deserves to be celebrated in all its glory.

So here's our message to those stuck-in-the-past studios: it's time to step up your game and join us in the 21st century! The boudoir community is a diverse tapestry of beauty, and it's high time you embraced it fully. It's time to dust off those creativity caps and invest in some technical and artistic training, folks!

Instead of shaming people for their choices, how about embracing the challenge and exploring new avenues to make every outfit sizzle in front of the lens? It's giving "I don't know how to do this so I'll gaslight you instead" Just sayin'...

From babydolls to bodysuits, from size zero to plus-sized, skin tones ebony to ivory, every individual deserves to feel empowered and confident in front of the camera.

Let's make boudoir photography a place where everyone feels welcome, accepted, and celebrated for exactly who they are. Because when it comes down to it, the sexiest thing you can wear in a boudoir shoot is confidence, and that looks good on everyone.

So here's to breaking down barriers, shattering stereotypes, and capturing the beauty of every body, one babydoll at a time! Who's with us?

Until next time, keep slaying and stay fabulous!

XOXO,
