“Hey Mom\u2026before Auntie forwards you a picture of me, I am calling to let you know that no, I have not quit my job and no, I am not a porn star!” Have you had to have a conversation with your protective parents?! I’ve got to admit, I didn’t realize this was a common thing happening with clients \u2013 but here we are! Some people just don\u2019t know how to explain boudoir to mom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boudoir images we take at Embodied Art Studio are 100% real, sensual, and artistic. There are some people out there who will be stunned at how “scandalous” or “risqu\u00e9” they are, or a betrayal of ethics or morals. I get it, some parents may be a little shocked to see their baby so confident while wearing little to no clothing, but it\u2019s not the same thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full disclosure – I fully support the rights of sex workers and pornstars to do what they do! This is a lighthearted blog post poking fun at family members being scandalized when you reclaim your body, sexuality, and fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, Mom? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some ways to approach your beautiful boudoir photoshoot with your family and \u2013 hopefully – bring their heart rate back down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Since (insert life event here) I haven’t felt at home in my body. I wanted to do this photoshoot to help me feel confident again.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Women<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“I wanted to challenge myself, step out of my comfort zone and do something different. No one is even going to see the photos but me and whoever I choose to share them with.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am not a porn star. Do you think I’d even tell you if I was?!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat was that saying you taught me when I was kid…if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Well, Mom, time for your own advice!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No, I’m not trying to ruin Grandma’s Holidays\/Birthday\/(insert event), but I wanted to give myself a gift for once.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It was an incredibly safe space and it was very empowering.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These photographs were taken by a professional, female photographer! She made me feel great and helped me to pose and was such a good hype woman throughout my session. Gabby actually loves to photograph women of all ages and stages, should I give you her details?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You get pampered all the time, Mom! It was my version of a pamper session just with photos. I had my makeup and hair done by a professional.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You always tell me to make time for myself and that I never do anything for myself. Well, now I have!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Life is short. When I’m older I want to look back at these amazing memories of when I was in my (insert your age).”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Women<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“I just needed an excuse to buy new lingerie.” <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I deserve to feel sexy, too!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Women can pose nude without it always being sexualized.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So many women are doing this. I can show you how tasteful Gabby’s other photography is?”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I never thought I’d have the confidence to do something like this. It was thrilling! I’m glad I did it. I think every woman should try it, to be honest.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have a big girl job, with big girl money \u2013 which I can spend however I please!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Get over it, please.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
