You deserve to feel Beautiful, Confident, and Powerful!
Imagine how your world could change…
…if what you saw reflected back to you was confidence, strength, beauty, and power?
Would you…
- Wear the dress you’ve been avoiding because it shows off your curves?
- Enjoy your summer by not trying to hide your body in the heat?
- Stop hiding from photos with your family?
- Model the confidence you want your children to have about their own bodies?
- See your scars positively instead of something that should be hidden?
- Have the strength to make those tough decisions that, while being ignored, have left you in a state of anxiety and depression?
- Have the courage to ask for that promotion at work?
Every bullet on the list above is something a client told me they did after their boudoir experience. And it’s just a taste of what we are capable of when we step into our power.
Imagine what a boudoir experience gives you the confidence to do.
“But I’m not ‘young / skinny / sexy / serious / confident / curvy / pretty’ Enough for Boudoir…”
Let me stop you right there! The only thing you need to be for a boudoir experience is YOU.
Age, size, gender, shape, background, etc… have no bearing on if you can do boudoir or not.
We live in a world that constantly tells us what we should look like, how to feel about ourselves, that we are too this, and not enough that. Trying to fit into everyone else’s mold is EXHAUSTING.
How we feel about ourselves should come from the inside, not from all the noise outside.
So if you’re ready to take back the narrative, to stand in your beautiful power, and to see yourself through the same kind eyes that you see your loved ones through…
You’re in the right place!
Boudoir isn’t about Lingerie…
For me, boudoir has never been about lingerie, being nude, or about looking sexy in front of a camera.
It’s about so much more than that. It’s about being able to truly see yourself without judgement. And to do that we often need to strip everything else away, including our clothes.
Because our clothes, society, and everything around us acts as a way for us to hide. Hide what we see as our flaws. Hide from judgement. Hide our true selves from the world. And hide our true power from ourselves.
Why Boudoir is So Empowering
The human body – its curves, markings, wrinkles, scars, and all its intricacies – creates a canvas of the life we have lived.
Our body is a powerful and beautiful reminder of the battles we have won, and of the warriors we are. We should not feel the need to hide it because it doesn’t fit the unachievable standards society has created for us.
We should be proud of our scars. Be proud of the battles and challenges we have overcome. And accept our body no matter how imperfect it feels to us.
Boudoir photography is what helps us not only accept the body we have, but fall back in love with it.
It empowers us to challenge what the “perfect” body is and kick all the expectations put on us by media, magazines, and society to the curb.
We are each created uniquely, and that is what should be celebrated. Let’s take back our self-image and confidence, and dare to love our bodies the way they are right in this moment.
Because boudoir is for EVERY BODY.
Hello there, Beautiful! I’m Jolana.
Your photographer, psychology nerd, professional hype woman, and someone who will probably cry right alongside you when you see your images for the first time (and then blame it on that time of month!).
I didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a boudoir photographer.
Seriously. Before photography became my career, I earned my B.S. in Psychology and spent five years working in a Psychiatric Emergency Department, with dreams of working in the FBI profiling (can you tell I was a Criminal Minds fan!?).
Photography was something I did for fun, and then was encouraged to start my own business… and I did. I started with families, seniors, and weddings. But something was missing for me. I never felt like I was making a difference. Sure! I created beautiful images for my clients, but that’s where my impact ended.
Then I had my own boudoir experience and it changed my life. It pulled me out of a major depression, gave me the courage to make some difficult choices, and reminded me of the power I had.
I instantly knew I needed to provide that same impact for other women.
Add in there co-founding my non-profit: Breast Cancer Confidence Project, and I knew I was doing the work I was put on this earth for:
To create experiences and wall-worthy photography that elicit a sense of belonging, empowerment, and connection to ourselves and others.
