Why Men NEED Boudoir Photography Too

Hey there, HOT STUFF! 🌶️

Ever felt like you're missing out on a world of empowerment, self-love, and – let’s be honest – straight-up SEXINESS? Ever felt like you're just a spectator in the world of glamour, courage, and confident self-expression?

Look, we KNOW women have been OWNING the boudoir scene, but guess what? Men, you absolutely, 100%, no-doubt-about-it deserve to step into that sultry spotlight too. Boudoir is for EVERYONE. Yes, every Tom, Dick, and Harry. So let’s get you in front of that camera and show the world what you’ve got!

The Men's Boudoir Revolution — This Ain't Your Typical Men's Magazine Shoot

Gentlemen, listen up! This is NOT a "you in a Santa hat with a strategically placed stocking" kinda deal. This is a REVOLUTION. We're not talking about the same old, tired and stereotypical representation of men that you see in typical media. No half-hearted attempts or cheeky parodies here poking fun at men's bodies.

We're talking about redefining what it means to be a man, stripping away the lame, outdated narratives and getting down to the real, raw YOU. Still think this is just for the ladies? Nope! We’re launching our men’s boudoir model call next Wednesday, and you DON’T wanna miss it.

Redefine Masculinity. The Old Spice guy isn't the only definition of sexy, alright? Find YOUR sexy! Maybe it's the way you brew coffee in your boxers, or how you look when you're lost in a good book. Whatever it is, we're here to capture it.  

Smash the Norms! Society's got its rules, but who says you gotta play by them? Men's boudoir is your chance to break free. It’s a rebellious act that says, “Take your norms and shove ‘em!”

Be a Trailblazer. Men around you are catching this wave, and trust us, you want to be one of the first ones to surf it. Be the man who dared to go where few men have gone before ;)

First Step? Stop Giving a Flying Fig!

We get it: Stripping down in front of a camera can make anyone feel as nervous as a cat at a dog show. But here’s the deal: It's time to stop caring what the world thinks! Like seriously, why should strangers get to decide when it’s okay to feel confident about your own body, when it’s okay to want to feel hot and sexy, and when it’s okay to love yourself? It's time to flip the bird at those societal judgments and embrace your audacious, sexy self.

Boudoir photography for men is all about YOU—your journey, your story, and it’s time we help you start it and express it.

Toss Out Judgments. Ain't nobody got time for that! We tend to be our harshest critics and magnify too much what we think others might think! So here's your permission to toss that shit out and get too busy being awesome to ever think about it again.

Lose the Inhibitions! Think of this as that tattoo you couldn't stop showing off once you got it. It's a declaration of your individuality, your boldness, and your sheer, unadulterated self-love.

Own Your Journey. This is your life, your body, your rules. Full stop. No apologies, no explanations. Just you in all your raw, real glory.

Stepping into Your Dream Session

First thing's first, you’re gonna have a CONSULTATION. We’re talking 20-45 minutes of pure, unadulterated YOU time to figure out how to make this experience epic. It's like therapy, but with less talking about that one specifically traumatizing moment in middle school that changed the trajectory of your life (but we can if you want to!) and more talking about the shit that lights your fire, like your hard-earned six-pack or your love for Star Wars.

From discussing wardrobe to setting the overall mood, we're gonna work with you to make this boudoir session your own slice of paradise.

Wardrobe Ideas. Whether you want to flaunt that dad bod or flex those muscles, we’ve got you covered. You decide your wardrobe and the props you want to bring (or if you want to bring anything at all)! A lot of male clients love the white polo/cardigan, jeans, with a bottle of whisky combo, but you can absolutely wear anything that makes you feel like the bomb.com!

Mood and Aesthetics. Be it at our killer studio in Roseville or maybe one of our seasonal lake sessions, you choose, champ! You want a soulful vibe with some spicy pictures with your partner (and yes, you CAN have your partner with you and do a couple's session)? We can do that! More of a 007 guy? Go get your tux ready because executing your vision is no mission impossible for our studio.

Comfort is Key. Nudity level? Your call. Spiciness factor? You decide. Like a choose-your-own-adventure, but for grown-ups!

The Big Day — What Your Session Day Looks Like

You’ll waltz into our studio and let me tell you, we're gonna TREAT you like the KING that you are. From amazing prep tips before your session to our amazing makeup artist to get you camera ready, you’ll feel taken care of before stepping in front of that lens.

This is where you let loose and let your spirit shine. Expect the whole process to be a four to six-hour rollercoaster of YOU. It’s like a spa day, but instead of cucumbers on your eyes, you get a professional camera in your face. 

Pre-Shoot Pampering. Who doesn't love a good hot towel treatment, am I right? It's like a warm hug for your face. And the option to get the best no-makeup makeup look from one of the best makeup artists in NorCal to make sure you look absolutely camera-ready? We’re going all out in making sure you have the most amazing experience.

The Session. The most daunting part? Showing up. The best part? EVERYTHING after that. You also won’t need to worry about posing — that’s where I and my 7 years of shooting boudoir comes in! The entire process will be mechanical almost and the vibe of the shoot is not at all sexual (but you wouldn’t know it from the pictures!)

Photo Review. After the shoot, I send you off to grab a bite for about an hour, then we sit, sift, and select your most kick-ass shots. This is your legacy, the proof that you went out of your comfort zone and did brave shit to celebrate your amazing self! The photos will be so good, you’ll want to make them your LinkedIn profile picture.

Okay, maybe not LinkedIn. But definitely Instagram 😂

Look, the universe is giving you a sign. Book a consult and let’s make some MAGIC. ✨ Let’s create a space where men can express themselves without judgment, without fear, and with a whole lot of sexy confidence. Welcome to the revolution, people. Welcome to men’s boudoir ;)
