Denver Sexy Photography: What is Sexy?
“I’m bringing sexy back” Justin Timberlake may have sung it, but it is our (paraphrased) mission.
What does sexy mean? We know that even in Denver sexy photography means different things for different people.
What do people identify as sexy? Sexy is more multi-faceted than people acknowledge. Sexy is a state of mind. Everyone is sexy. Yet there are plenty of sexy people who do not feel sexy and do not show it. It is why makeovers can be intriguing. Makeovers bring out a different side to the people we see everyday: a sensual side, a confident side, a bold side.
All these traits are associated with being sexy. Sexy is what comes out when a woman or a man feels all those things: sensual, confident and bold. The way we dress and the care we put into the face we show the world can and will affect our emotions.
Outside appearance is certainly a factor to being and feeling sexy, but sexy is not limited to your outward appearance. When we get to know someone, sometimes we uncover a sexiness that is not obvious to the world (one of our favorite kinds of sexy!). It can be an intelligent sexiness, or a compassionate sexiness, any part of their world where they are confident and bold. Sexy is a state of mind.
Denver Sexy Photography: What does that mean for us?
So let’s all agree to get out of our own way. Most of us battle to feel sexy in an average day. There is no end to the ways we can criticize ourselves and feel less worthy.
So, how do we make our way to that sexy state of mind? We start by doing things that make us feel fulfilled and challenged. We are kind to people around us. We study something we love. We take a chance. When we step outside our comfort zone and try something new, we are opening ourselves up to see the world and ourselves in a new way. We take care of ourselves. We have good hygiene. We teach ourselves how to fix our hair and makeup. We take responsibility for our lives. That is damn sexy.
If we make small steps toward these goals, that sexy state of mind will start to settle in our mind. We will feel more sensual. We will feel more confident. We will feel bold. Once you reach this place, other people will notice.
Denver Sexy Photography: How do we bring sexy into our sessions?
When we bring someone into our studio, our goal is to bring them into this state of mind. We cultivate an environment where they feel accepted. We want them to feel comfortable being themselves: because it isn’t what is missing, it is what is covered up. Your sexiness is there, it’s just underneath several layers of guilt, shame, and entitlement. When you come in for a photo session with us, you are taking a chance to break through those barriers. You are being vulnerable, bold, and confident. Then we add on a professional makeover to help that last 10%.
Now get that sexy ass in here.
