Boudoir Photography Studios in Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor

It’s a fact: after you give birth, your body changes.

For many moms, this change is a source of stress and can lead to a loss in confidence. But there is a fix, though it might seem out of your comfort zone at first–boudoir photo sessions.

A boudoir session, literally French for “a lady’s private dressing room or bedroom,” is a photography session with a woman (or sometimes couples) designed to be sultry. Women often don lingerie and pose seductively in a studio or rented hotel room.

More and more photography studios are offering these sessions in metro Detroit and Ann Arbor – and more moms are taking part. Curious where you can find photographers that offer this option?
