E - A Body Positive Boudoir Session by Swiger Photography

This babe….I don’t even know how to put into a short paragraph what she taught me in an hour and a half. I don’t know how to parse down her story, to tell you quickly of her bravery and courage and spirit and beauty. And so I am not going to try. But this is what I do want you to know about E; she is the epitome of a phoenix. I tried to capture that spirit in these photos but if you met her for just 5 minutes, you’d see it even more clearly. She has been through a lot and yet she is such a kind, sweet and loving soul. And I adore her! This shoot so perfectly encapsulates why I believe in this work, why I think boudoir is more than just beautiful photos. Its about capturing the essencance of every babe who walks through my door. Its about her stories and her triumphs and her truth. And it exists only when we allow each babe to themself. Thats the key. Its not about putting her into a box or saying because you are ______ we are going to xyz things. Its about letting her be all of herself and knowing she is worthy of seeing that person as beautiful and sexy and strong and incredible. And I am so grateful to E for reminding me of that <3
