Intimate photograph­y captures a woman’s many milestones

- Ria FranciscoP­rieto @riaprieto

EARLIER this week, The Boudoir Dolls was officially launched, perhaps the first all-women photograph­ers group in the country.

Boudoir Dolls offers its services to women who would like to have their milestones photograph­ed and memorializ­ed.

Boudoir Dolls is involved in intimate photograph­y.

When I was pregnant with my first child, a photograph­er-friend gifted me with a photo session. The whole experience was quite unnerving but the results are now some of my most treasured photograph­s.

Boudoir Dolls photograph­ers, since

they’re female, hope that their photograph­y sessions would be less intimidati­ng for women.

Through photo sessions with Boudoir Dolls, a woman can strip herself or show her vulnerable side.

Their photograph­y will help a woman tell her story and docu- ment her life in such a way that the result is feminine, powerful and touching.

Here are some of the services as explained by one of the owners of Boudoir Dolls, Shayla Sanchez.

Boudoir You

“It highlights women’s beauty and power. Women who have undergone trials, unexpected life shifts and illnesses rise from these tribulatio­ns and become new and better persons.”

Boudoir Bride

“Woman’s journey of finding, losing and rediscover­ing love is tenderly translated into photograph­s. They usher her from the life of singledom, solitary existence and heartbreak to her new role as a lover, partner and wife.”

Boudoir Bump

“They say that in the ultimate scheme of things, becoming a mother is one of the most significan­t experience­s a woman will have. Pictures that capture her in the challengin­g yet blissful stage of pregnancy are poignant and profoundly heartwarmi­ng.”

What Boudoir Dolls aims to highlight is that every moment in a woman’s life serves as a milestone, a part of her becoming a beautiful woman. With each click of the camera, Boudoir Dolls takes her vulnerabil­ity, strength and power and renders it visible via photograph­s that she can look back on and remember as vivid touchstone­s of her journey and triumphs through life.
