The Differences between Empowerment and Boudoir.
Empowerment portrait sessions St. Louis Gallery
Bold. Playful. Confident. 100% You.
Empowerment portraits celebrate personality, individuality, and strength. These sessions feel upbeat, expressive, and fun—from posing to wardrobe.
The Empowerment Vibe
- Bold, sassy expressions
- Playful energy and movement
- Strong, confident posture
- Genuine smiles, laughter, and attitude
- Editorial-style portraits designed for sharing, celebrating, and showcasing your personality
Empowerment Wardrobe
Think expressive, stylish, bold, or edgy—clothing that energizes you, such as:
- Blazers, leather jackets, bold tops
- Elegant dresses or fashion-forward pieces
- Bright colors, layers, textures
- Statement jewelry or meaningful accessories
Nothing intimate. Nothing lingerie-based. Empowerment clothing reflects who you are, not what you reveal.
Perfect For
- Celebrating milestones
- Boosting confidence
- Refreshing your personal brand
- Marking a new chapter
- Feeling vibrant, powerful, seen
Our goal is simple: create portraits that remind you of your strength every time you look at them.
Boudoir Sessions (Available on Request)
Intimate. Sensual. Private.
While Shari Photography is not a boudoir studio, we do offer boudoir sessions at a client’s request. These portraits carry a completely different tone and intention.
Boudoir Vibe
- Soft, sensual expressions
- Intimate posing
- Private, romantic mood
Boudoir Wardrobe
- Lingerie, robes, sheer fabrics
- Bedroom-inspired styling
- Softer colors and textures
Boudoir is about intimacy and allure. Empowerment is about personality, confidence, and fun. The two experiences serve very different purposes—and we make that distinction clear for every client.
