File this one under “Confidence is the best outfit, rock it and own it.” Big changes with types of self care are happening, and you’re probably excited about how they could boost your confidence.
The buzz around personalized types of self care practices tailored to mental and physical well being is growing fast, and it’s changing how people approach confidence building routines. Read more about that here.
It’s the biggest thing that’s going to affect your preparation for your boudoir photography session. So it’s a big deal.
Basically, more and more people are embracing self care practices – from mindfulness to fitness routines – designed to make them feel their best. Studies show that confidence isn’t just about appearances; it starts with how you treat yourself daily.
Now, you may be thinking, “Does this really matter for a photo session?” And if you’re like a lot of women preparing for boudoir photography, you may even feel a little uncertain about whether self care can really impact your confidence. Can practicing self care truly make you shine in front of the camera? Here’s the low down on what it all means:
Self care shifts the focus inward, helping you build a foundation of self confidence that comes from within. Boudoir sessions are not just about looking great but feeling great, and types of self care practices like journaling or meditation can help you get into the right mindset.
Start incorporating small acts of self care into your daily routine. This could mean skincare rituals, movement based activities like yoga, or simply setting boundaries to prioritize yourself. These actions accumulate to make you feel more comfortable in your skin – and the camera will capture that glow!
Self care doesn’t just prepare you for your boudoir session – it also spills over into other areas of life. Many women report feeling more assertive at work, present in their relationships, and resilient in daily challenges after adopting consistent self care habits.
There’s something transformative about the combination of self care and a boudoir session. You’re not just preparing for stunning photos – you’re stepping into a moment where you’ll see yourself with fresh eyes, confident and radiant.
As Emma wrote in her blog post, “Self care is not about conforming to society’s standards. Self care requires honoring your own needs and values, even if it doesn’t reflect other’s own self care practices, whatever they may be.” And Dr. Justine Grusso a psychologist and another self care expert says, “Staying on top of my getting ready routines sends messages to our mind and body that we are safe and worth taking care of. The opposite, self neglect, send messages of unease and unworthiness.”
Things are evolving in the world of self care, and it’s reshaping how we approach confidence. The best way to be ready for your boudoir session is to embrace practices that nurture your well being, prioritize yourself, and commit to consistent self love.

Born and raised in Washington State, I know the Pacific Northwest like the back of my hand. As a luxury boudoir photographer, my mission is simple: to reach as many women as I can and show them just how incredible they already are. This experience is about so much more than beautiful photos - it's a chance to see yourself through the eyes of those who love you, and to truly reconnect with the woman you are.
Since founding Boudoir Photography by Amber Carl in 2020, I've had the privilege of photographing countless women and couples, each experience as unique as the person in front of the lens. The greatest compliment I receive is how comfortable my clients feel with me. This is an intimate journey, and my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can let your true self shine.
Take a look at my work and reach out - I'd love to help you experience the confidence and self love you deserve.
