“Loving Yourself Isn’t Vanity, It’s Sanity”
Learning To Love Yourself
A Boudoir Experience with Madison Bou Photography is all about learning to set some time aside and prioritise showing ourselves some love and compassion once in a while.
You see, as a general rule, we spend so much time prioritising those we love in our life that we never seem to put aside any time for ourselves. It can be exhausting looking after our significant other and the kids and pretty soon we find that we have no life at all.
Many of our clients tell us that they feel that over the years they’ve lost themselves and don’t really know who they are any more.
There is a saying that you can’t love anyone else unless you love yourself first and this means putting the the work in to becoming the best you can be.
In fact, we believe that a little self indulgence isn’t selfish but actually essential for overall health and happiness!
Taking care of yourself should be you number one priority. We only get one brief lifetime and it’s important to enjoy it as much as possible. After all - You’re worth it!
Take time out to Celebrate Your Achievements
If you’ve achieved a new goal in your life, whether it be a weight goal or you’ve been promoted at work. Make sure you celebrate it. Saviour the sweet taste of success and see just how good it feels. You’ll gain huge self esteem whenever you stop to celebrate your little successes and feel good about yourself in the process.
Think about making a ‘bucket list’ of things you’d like to do and work on ticking them off. Each thing you tick off the list , celebrate it to increase your self esteem even further.
Learn a new skill, work towards a new fitness aim, take classes in something you’d love to learn more about.
Do Something to break your Normal Routine as often As You Can
Instead of looking after everyone in the house for once put yourself first and leave the general chores for another day. Try booking a day off work, arranging childcare and make a day all about you. Perhaps a day with girlfriends at the Gym or spa and a nice lunch somewhere. Book the day a few days ahead so you have something to look forward to. Enjoy preparing the day as well so everything is perfect and you get the most out of your ‘me’ day.
Book A Madison Bou Photoshoot Experience
You’ll notice we say this throughout this website, that a Madison Bou Photoshoot Experience is a perfect way to celebrate yourself as you are, right now. It will empower you and boost your confidence like nothing else. Our clients tell us time and time again how life changing a photoshoot like this is. Firstly, it will push you a little out of your comfort zone and you’ll feel that rush of excitement. (A little like parachuting out of a plane but without the danger) You’ll be made to feel like a movie star and be the centre of attention all day for once. You’ll be pampered and see instant results on the back of the camera which will allow you to see just how beautiful you are. And, when you receive your pictures, everytime you look at them for many years to come, it will boost your self esteem beyond measure.
Charlotte told us - “When I returned for the viewing I was excited but scared unsure of what to expect, I sat in the office with my mum and on the computer screen was a magazine cover. I remember thinking at the time the lady on the front looked really attractive, never did I think that it was me. When we sat down to view the pictures Dave pointed out that that was me from that point on I couldn’t stop the tears. Picture after picture and I looked amazing in every one. I bought all my digitals as I really couldn’t chose a favourite I loved them all.” See her pics here : https://www.boudoirphotographyyorkshire.com/blog/self-esteem
Michelle told us - “What can I say…. I felt so special, my hair and make up are absolutely gorgeous. Jane and Dave really listen to what you want and make you feel at ease. I have had a fantastic fun day and left feeling beautiful, I just can’t wait to see the pictures. For anyone even considering this…… just do it. It is a real confidence boost and utterly empowering.” See Michelle here :

and Cassie told us - ““I wanted to give husband a great wedding present. Plus needed a boost at 52 after starting work surrounded by beautiful young girls. This is a must have experience. All at Madison Bou made me feel special and my own independent person. What a boost at 52.” See Cassie here : https://www.boudoirphotographyyorkshire.com/blog/feeling-old-at-50
TIME TO LOVE YOURSELF
So many women approach us to create beautiful images as a luxury gift for a loved one but we’re here to tell you that the love you give to yourself is just as important as the love you give others.
It’s time to step into your own power and realise how incredible you are. This is how others see you but it’s hard to look at yourself in the same positive light.
Taking time to love yourself is time well spent and you increased self confidence will rub off on everyone you meet.
As we say
LOVING YOURSELF ISN’T VANITY - IT’S SANITY!
“I had been initially nervous about the day as it was something that I never would have considered doing myself & I wasn't sure what to expect from the day. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really nice having my hair & make up done & I quickly felt relaxed. Dave & Jayne were great throughout the whole process & I just really enjoyed the whole day - thank you! The viewing was also fab & I was really impressed by the quality of the photos & how nicely everything was presented.” …. Julia (Pictured below)
