If you are a mom reading this, I already know a few things about you.
I know you are the one who remembers everyone’s appointments, packs the lunches, handles
the meltdowns, and shows up for everyone — consistently, reliably, without being asked. I know
that “self-care” probably feels like a luxury you do not have time for, or something you will do
when things slow down.
And I know that things probably have not slowed down.
As a mother of five and a Loveland, CO boudoir photographer, I have spent years doing two
things: pouring into my family, and helping other women reconnect with themselves. This is my
case for why those two things are not actually separate — and why a boudoir session might be
the most important thing you do for yourself this year.
Somewhere Along the Way, You Stopped Seeing Yourself
Not literally. You see yourself in the mirror every morning. But somewhere between the newborn
stage and the school years and the constant motion of motherhood, most women stop really
looking at themselves. They stop expecting to like what they see. They start describing their body in terms of
what it used to look like, or what it should look like, or what it would look like if they just had
more time to take care of themselves.
Sound familiar?
Boudoir photography for moms in Loveland, CO is not about erasing any of that. It is about
stepping outside of the narrative for three hours and seeing yourself through a completely
different lens — one that is not filtered through exhaustion, comparison, or the impossible
standard of what you think you are supposed to look like.
The women who walk through my door are not the polished, put-together version of themselves.
They are real. And real is exactly what photographs beautifully.
This Is Not a Vanity Project
I hear this sometimes — the quiet worry that wanting photos of yourself is somehow selfish or
indulgent. Especially as a mom, where the culture around you constantly suggests that putting
yourself first is something to be earned, not something you simply deserve.
Let me say this as directly as I can: taking three hours for yourself after years of giving
everything to everyone else is not selfish. It is one of the most grounded, self-respecting, quietly
revolutionary things you can do.
And your children — your daughters especially — they are watching how you treat yourself. They
are learning what it looks like when a woman decides she matters. Every time you model that, it
lands somewhere in them. That is not nothing. That is everything.
You Do Not Have to Look a Certain Way to Book This Session
I started photography during my own infertility journey. I have lived in a body that did not do
what I wanted it to. I have felt the sting of not measuring up to the version I thought I was
supposed to be — and I have sat with that feeling long enough to know that it does not go away
on its own. You have to actively choose a different story.
BB Boudoir in Loveland, CO is that different story. Every session I do is fully guided — you will
not be left alone wondering what to do with your hands or how to pose. The studio is private,
calm, and filled with natural light. You can bring whatever feels like you, and we will build the
rest from there. No experience required. No specific body required. Just you, showing up.
What Moms Actually Say After Their Sessions
The responses I get from moms after their gallery is delivered are something I will never get
tired of receiving.
“I did not recognize myself — in the best way.”
“I have not felt like that in years. I forgot that version of me existed.”
“I kept waiting to feel embarrassed and I just… never did. You made it so easy!”
These are not outliers. This is what consistently comes back from women who walked in
nervous and walked out different. Not because anything about them changed. Because they
finally allowed themselves to be seen.
A Gift That Actually Means Something
If you have been trying to figure out what to ask for for your birthday, your anniversary, Mother’s
Day, or just a regular Tuesday — this is it. A boudoir session at BB Boudoir in Loveland, CO is
one of the most meaningful gifts a woman can receive, and also one of the most meaningful she
can give herself.
The signature session starts at $850 and includes up to five outfit changes, one to two hours of
shooting time, a private gallery, and 20 digital downloads. The full experience — including
professional hair and makeup — is $1,200. Sessions serve women across Loveland, Fort
Collins, Berthoud, and all of Northern Colorado.
Stop Waiting for the Right Time
Here is the truth about the right time: it is not coming. The kids will always need something. The
schedule will always be full. There will always be a reason to push it back to next month, next
season, after things settle down.
The right time is now — not because everything is aligned perfectly, but because you have
already waited long enough.
