This Is Your Session: Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
If there’s one thing I hear over and over from clients, it’s this: “I’m not like her… I can’t look like that… What if I’m not as sexy or confident?”
Here’s the truth: your boudoir session is yours, and yours alone. Comparing yourself to someone else, whether it’s a model on Instagram, a friend who did boudoir, or even someone you saw online, will only steal your joy and distract from what really matters—celebrating your body, your confidence, and your unique beauty.
At Boudoir by Rae Taryn, I specialize in empowering boudoir photography that celebrates your unique beauty—no comparisons, no filters, just you. Here are a few reasons why it’s time to stop the comparisons and embrace your own magic:
Your Body is One-of-a-Kind
No two women are 100% alike, and that’s exactly what makes boudoir so magical. Your curves, angles, and even your imperfections tell your story—and I specialize in capturing them in the most flattering, empowering way possible. When you stop comparing yourself to someone else, you start to notice your own beauty. That’s when the real magic happens in a session.
Confidence is Contagious (From Within)
Boudoir isn’t about looking a certain way; it’s about feeling confident in your own skin. When you focus on your own energy, your own confidence grows—and that shows in every photo. The women who stop comparing themselves to others are the ones who leave their session glowing, empowered, and thrilled with their images.
Everyone’s Vision is Different
What you imagine for your session might not look like someone else’s—and that’s okay! Boudoir is personal. Your outfit choices, poses, and even the vibe of your session should reflect YOU, not someone else’s idea of “perfect.” Whether you want sultry, playful, elegant, or outdoorsy, your session should tell your story, not theirs.
Social Media is a Highlight Reel
Here’s a little secret: most of what you see online is curated, edited, and posed. Comparing yourself to it is like comparing your behind-the-scenes life to someone else’s highlight reel. In boudoir, we celebrate the real, raw, authentic YOU—every curve, smile, and confident pose included.
You Deserve This Moment
Ultimately, your boudoir session is about you claiming your space, celebrating your body, and feeling empowered. When you stop comparing yourself to others, you allow yourself to fully enjoy the experience. You leave behind self-doubt, and walk away with images that remind you exactly how beautiful and strong you are—because they’re yours, not anyone else’s.
Embrace Your Unique Beauty
So, the next time you find yourself thinking, “I wish I looked like her”, pause. Take a deep breath. And remember: this session is for YOU. Not for Instagram likes, not for anyone else’s approval, and definitely not to fit someone else’s idea of perfection.
Boudoir is a celebration of your story, your body, and your confidence—and that story is 100% unique. So own it. Show up. Shine. And let your session reflect the amazing, one-of-a-kind woman that you are. Your session should be about embracing your story and your beauty. That’s what empowering boudoir photography is all about.
