The Biggest Boudoir Regret
Let’s talk about regrets. You know, those little whispers in your head that say, “Why didn’t I just go for it?” When it comes to boudoir photography, the most common regret isn’t about the outfits you wore or the poses you tried. It’s something much bigger and, honestly, bittersweet: not doing it sooner.
Time and time again, I’ve had clients share this realization with me after their boudoir session. They look at their photos and say, “Why did I wait so long to do this?” If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Let’s break down the biggest boudoir regrets and why it’s never too late to book your session.
“I Wish I Had Done It When I Was Younger”
This one comes up A LOT! Many women tell me that they regret waiting until they reached a certain milestone to book their boudoir session. A lot of them wished they had captured themselves earlier. I can’t tell you how many times women have told me during their consultations that they wish they realized how stunning they were when they were younger, instead of picking themselves apart. But here’s the truth: You are beautiful right now. Boudoir isn’t about being in the “perfect” season of life; it’s about celebrating who you are in this very moment. Whether you’re in your 20s, 40s, or 60s, your story is worth capturing.
“I Wish I Had Done It for Myself”
Many women initially book a boudoir session as a gift for a significant other. While that’s a beautiful reason, there’s often a quiet realization during the session: This is for me, too. Boudoir photography is so much more than “pretty” or “sexy” photos. It’s an experience that reminds you of your power, your beauty, and your worth. YES, your partner will absolutely LOVE the photos, but doing this for you is the real magic. If you’re thinking about booking a session, let this be your permission slip: You don’t need a “reason” or anyone else to validate it. Celebrate yourself, because you deserve it.
“I Wish I Had Been More Open to the Process”
Some women hesitate to book a session because they feel nervous or unsure about the experience. They worry about how they’ll look, whether they’ll know how to pose, or if they’ll feel awkward in lingerie. But here’s what every single one of my clients discovers: You don’t have to know what you’re doing—that’s my job! At Sanctuary Boudoir, I guide you every step of the way, from styling to posing and capturing your best angles. All you have to do is show up and trust the process.

Don’t let fear hold you back from discovering just how incredible you are.
Why It’s Never Too Late To Do A Boudoir Photoshoot
No matter where you are in life, the perfect time to do a boudoir session is NOW. Your age, weight, or relationship status doesn’t define your worthiness to feel empowered and celebrated. Whether you’re stepping into this experience for the first time or finally booking the session you’ve been dreaming about for years, it’s ALWAYS the right moment to honor yourself.
What Real Clients Have Said
Here’s what some of my clients have shared after their sessions:
“There is not a single negative thing that could come from this and about a million positive ones. The only regret I have is that I waited so long to do it…”
“After viewing the results of my photoshoot, I feel more confident than I have in a long time, because my body and spirit were reflected so beautifully in my images…”
“Emma Jaye was incredible. She was reassuring. She was understanding. She was sympathetic. She heard me, she heard my fears and she eased every single one of them…”
