Remembering That Beauty Knows No Age // Kansas City Boudoir Photographer
If you’re like anyone else, self-isolation has been a period of self-discovery and experimentation. For a lot of women, self-isolation has been marked by bold decisions. Gorgeous women have documented their journeys on social media. Take a look at someone such as actress Hilarie Burton Morgan who gorgeously embraced her silver roots on Instagram as she praised the healthcare workers for their hard work. Singer Lily Allen was also quick to show her natural grays online, feeling positive, and embracing her true self. Perhaps, they have inspired you also to leave the hair dye in the drawer. The COVID pandemic has confronted women with their demons, namely all the little things we do to hide the uncomfortable signs that we are getting older. Going gray was a no-brainer at home!
But let it be a lesson rather than a burden. The pandemic has temporarily allowed individuals to shift their mindset about growing older. Rather than feeling ashamed, a lot of women have taken to social media platforms to show off their roots and skin without filter or dye. Unfortunately, the sea of positivity seems to die out now that hair salons and cosmeticians are back in business. Women are reminded of their age, and they can’t bear the reflection they see in the mirror anymore.
That’s precisely why a boudoir photoshoot could be the wake-up call you need. The boudoir imagery is designed to embrace your femininity and sensuality. It is an empowering experience that reconnects a woman with their inner beauty. Of course, some preps are involved, as it is the case when you work with a professional photographer. Lighting, make-up, outfit, hairstyle, all these are there to reveal to yourself how gorgeous you are. They don’t hide your age because, at LGEmerick Photography and Brave Boss Babe Boudoir, nobody believes that your grays are standing in the way of your beauty.
The fears about growing older for women
We wish we could remove all your fears with a snap of the fingers. Unfortunately, fears and insecurities that relate to your age are deeply anchored in our society. You are more than just a number. However, this number is often what you refer to when you define your worth. However, in the 21st century, it is time for women to realize that a number can’t determine beauty or worth. Going gray is not an indication that you are not beautiful anymore. On the contrary, your grays don’t change one bit the gorgeous babe you are. There is only one thing to know about growing older, and that is that you should celebrate being alive and enjoy every moment of it. You gain in experience, and you can finally laugh about the mistakes of the youth!
Your grays don’t make you any less relevant than you used to be. It is a mistake to assume that getting old is a reflection of your value as a person. Yes, you are 45+, 50, 60+, etc. But we, at LGEmerick Photography and Brave Boss Babe Boudoir, are dedicated to helping you understand that beauty isn’t something that you had to give up a long time ago. Beauty is all around you, and you’re the beating heart that brings it to life in our boudoir photoshoots. We guarantee you; we want you to leave the studio after our session feeling empowered, strong, gorgeous, and proud of who you are.
It’s an opportunity to embrace your feminine side
How often in your day-to-day life do you take the time to pause and look at yourself in the mirror?
Every day, you say, when I apply cream and make-up in the morning. Granted. But do you find the person in the mirror attractive? Don’t shrug the idea off. Boudoir photography is all about tapping into your forgotten or underused feminine side. Most women don’t take the time to love themselves anymore. Too busy or too entangled in their hectic lifestyles, women tend to forget they can be beautiful and radiant. But with a photographer, you can let us take care of everything. We’ll do your hair in a way that enhances your features. We’ll give you flawless make-up that looks entirely like you because the magic with a boudoir session is to help you feel beautiful. Therefore, we don’t change you. We just help you see how sexy and gorgeous you can be. As a photographer, the key for LGEmerick Photography and Brave Boss Babe Boudoir is to capture your true sensibility and embrace your inner goddess. Here, you learn that age is not a handicap.
Embrace your eyewear
Glasses become an indispensable part of your outfit as you grow older. Indeed, as the small muscles in your eyes wear out over time, your eyes can’t adjust to short distances anymore. Objects that are close to you become blurry, and that is why many individuals need reading glasses in their late 40s and 50s. Incidentally, it is a natural phenomenon, so everyone will, at some point in their life, need a pair of long-sighted glasses.
But, we don’t think that glasses are synonymous with old age. In fact, we are convinced that taking your best frames to your boudoir session can lead to playful and attractive photos. From funny secretary glasses to trendy designer’s eyewear, you can create a variety of sexy looks full of personality. Here’s a secret to feel confident with your reading glasses: Find frames you love. Don’t be afraid to head to online sites and see the selection of designs available. There’s plenty of choices! So why opt for frames that showcase your personality to spice up things in the photoshoot?
Just make sure that if you choose to rock your specs that you have them coated with anti-glare so we see your beautiful eyes and not just the camera flash!
A word on age-appropriate lingerie
There’s no such thing as age-appropriate underwear. We feel it needs to be said as too many women steer away from styles they love because they think they are “too old” for it anymore. No, you are not too old to wear attractive lingerie. But, you may be falling victim to one common mistake. Indeed, a lot of women don’t get measured frequently enough. As a result, their bra size may be incorrect. We all know what happens when we wear lingerie in the wrong size. Your boobs are squeezed painfully, or they don’t receive the support they need. The result? It changes your silhouette dramatically. I’m too old to look sexy anymore, you say. But, we promise that wearing lingerie in the right size will transform your view of your body. Lingerie is designed to make you feel sexy and empowered. So, come to the lace side of life where people feel self-confident and supported. We love this piece: Prima Donna Divine - check it out!
I think my gray hair is showing through
As mentioned above, gray can be sexy. Healthy hair is ageless, regardless of its color. Embracing your grays is a bold choice, and we are the first to admit that not everyone is patient enough to ditch the dye. First of all, it is a process that doesn’t happen overnight. But take a look at these 19 women who have made gray their everyday choice. Contrary to what you might think, some people get their first gray hair at an early age. Scientists tend to explain the phenomenon through a mixture of genetics and environmental factors. The truth is that the reason doesn’t matter; you could be like Marina, a 27-year-old woman who’s had a full head of grays since her early 20s. As she describes it, her hair is an icebreaker in all conversations. And her confidence has never been better. Nourished and healthy hair makes you beautiful. We know, for sure, that natural grays can be beautifully empowering.
I am worried about wrinkles
Wrinkles are the little pearls that life leaves on your face. The most common wrinkles that affect women’s perceptions of themselves are those you find around the mouth, forehead, and eyes. They appear when you smile or frown. The expression lines can make you feel self-conscious. But, in reality, they only show you’ve had a life full of feelings! Your boudoir session is about capturing your beauty. So there’s no need to worry about how those lines are going to appear on camera. You can trust your photographer to make you look gorgeous and embrace your true nature with every single shot. We also work with a professional who will do your make-up. Did you know that simple tips such as knowing how to look younger with make-up can wipe years off your face? Sometimes, your make-up preferences can work against you. But at LGEmerick, we help you reveal your flawless self. We don’t cheat. We know how to enhance your features.
We believe that every woman deserves to feel beautiful and empowered. Our boudoir photoshoot does just that. We want you to realize how gorgeous you are. When age becomes a source of worries, a boudoir shoot can completely transform your perception of yourself. It is a step that can help you make peace with some of your fears about growing older. We create a safe place for you to build your self-confidence back up. For a lot of women, a boudoir moment is a wake-up call that reminds you that you are beautiful. Do we edit photos to prove our point? No, you’ll get to see what you look like in real-time. There is no trick, but you will experience something magical because you’ll rediscover the playfulness of worry-free confidence.
