I know that many people get surprised the first time they find out what the price of a boudoir session is. Let me be honest — Boudoir is a LUXURY experience. Boudoir photography in the Washington DC area is definitely not an exception…In fact, in any given area, top boudoir photographers have such investment start at at least $1000, and if purchasing more products it can go up to $5000.

Price-wise we could compare investing in a Boudoir session to buying a luxury item (like a designer purse or shoes) because it indeed costs approximately the same. The question is, which one is more valuable in terms of how each of these experiences serve you?

What makes us want to buy a luxury purse? LV, Dior, Celine, you name it. Does it truly have any personal or sentimental value? Luxurious items are only luxurious because of how they are perceived by the society we live in.

Sure, on occasion you could attach a sentimental value to even a purse. Let’s say you bought it to celebrate a financial gain, closing a business deal, etc. But the item itself is not personal to you. Neither it is personal to any other woman who can walk into the store and buy the exact same purse tomorrow…

Yes, Investing in Boudoir can cost the same as buying a luxury purse or a pair of shoes. Sometimes a little less and sometimes even more. The only difference is that you will be investing in YOUR OWN legacy and not in a designer’s brand that produces exactly same items for anyone who can afford them.

You will be investing in ART that is YOU. This is YOUR body captured artfully that will be showcased as a masterpiece on the wall somewhere in your house. Simply one of a kind.

This is your body that will be imprinted in the heirloom album that you will be able to show your grandchildren when you are 80 and say: “Look what a piece of Art I was”.

You’re worth more than a luxury purse or a pair of fancy shoes. You ARE a luxury item.

When you buy an expensive item in a store you are buying a product that will be admired by others. Boudoir, in comparison, is an experience that fosters introspection, self-rediscovery, self-acceptance, and self awareness— all of which nourish YOU and help you become a better version of yourself. It is personal and it is unique to you.

It is not for the admiration of others. In fact, It most likely will Never be seen by others as most women prefer to keep these images private…It is an investment inwards.

The price will be approximately the same, but Your Artful body, your experience of reevaluating your looks and yourself as a woman falls onto a more valuable category. At least this is what I believe. I am not here to sale you the most expensive package or an album. I am here to guide you through your personalized session and to create the art work that is actually about you and is one of a kind.

So if investing in any luxury item is worth it, what is the price of investing in Your Unique Self. Isn’t it priceless? What is it worth to you?
