How to Love Your Post-Baby Body? | New York City Boudoir

As a mom of two, as well as former birth doula, I understand very well how a woman's body changes after having a baby and how for many women, loving their post-baby new bodies alongside these changes is a work in progress. Many women report new insecurities, diminished body confidence - and are seeking ways back to self love and to loving their bodies as a whole (vs. focusing on the parts where they now they see 'imperfections').

And my recommendation as a premier, featured and awarded New York City boudoir photographer who has photographed hundreds of women, for the best way to love your post-baby body, skyrocket your confidence, remind yourself you are beautiful, strong, sexy, life-giving, you are enough? Consider doing your own boudoir photoshoot like our Ms. S did. Check out her session and her reported new-found confidence 5 months postpartum after giving boudoir a try for herself.

The lovely Ms. S., a mom of three and just 5 months postpartum with her last baby, arrived at her at our photoshoot at Hotel Nyack in Westchester, NY with KILLER lingerie, gorgeous hair and makeup transformation - and the most gorgeous smile and attitude. And if was nervous, well you certainly can't tell looking at her photos, that's for sure. She totally rocked out her session!

When I asked Ms. S to tell me about her shoot in her own words, here is what she said:

Ms. S.'s Google 5 Star Review on Working with Boudoir by Andreea B. Ballen Photography

“Andreea is absolutely AMAZING! I knew I wanted to do something for myself being 5 months postpartum and what better than a boudoir shoot to help boost your confidence. Andreea brought out the inner vixen that I didn’t even know existed. I was so nervous but through her coaching and helping to guide me with my poses, within 20mins my guard was down! I would 1000% recommend that every woman at some point in their life do a boudoir shoot preferably with Andreea!!!”

Andreea: 'Why would you recommend other women to do their own boudoir photoshoot after having a baby?'

Ms. S.: "I highly recommend other women do a boudoir shoot - and not just after baby - specifically with Andreea because she knows her stuff!!! She was on the sidelines cheering me on as I changed my poses up on my own after her initial guidance. This experience made me realize how beautiful I AM still and how proud of myself and my curves I should be!'
