JOIN THE CALENDAR!

When we think about boudoir photography, the imagery that typically comes to mind is often tied to women—images of confidence, sensuality, and self-expression. But what about men? It’s time to challenge the narrative and create a space where men, too, can explore their confidence and feel sexy in their own skin.

I’m thrilled to announce a new project: The Men’s Body Positive Boudoir Calendar. This isn’t just a calendar; it’s a movement to dismantle stereotypes and promote self-confidence for men.

Moving Beyond “Doudoir”

For years, “doudoir” photography—a playful, often ironic take on boudoir for men—has been a popular trend. While it’s great that more men are stepping in front of the camera, this genre has often leaned heavily into humor and irony, particularly for plus-size men. The message was clear: boudoir for men wasn’t meant to be taken seriously.

But here’s the truth: men deserve to feel sexy and confident, too. They deserve photography experiences that celebrate their bodies, personalities, and emotions without being reduced to a joke or stereotype. This calendar is about creating a space where men can explore their vulnerability and self-expression without fear of ridicule.

Men and Confidence: The Untold Struggle

While conversations about body positivity and self-confidence have made strides for women, men are often left out of the discussion. Men struggle with self-esteem and confidence, but societal norms discourage them from openly expressing these feelings. In couples boudoir sessions, I’ve seen many men express their nerves in subtle ways, often joking, “I’m just a prop for her.” Beneath the humor, there’s often a deep sense of vulnerability and uncertainty.

This project aims to change that. By showcasing men of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds in the calendar, we’re not just creating a product; we’re starting a conversation. We’re showing that men can embrace their sensuality and confidence in an authentic, empowering way.
