If you've ever thought "I want to do boudoir but..." — this episode is for you.

"I need to lose weight first."

"Boudoir is only for certain bodies."

"I'll do it when I'm more confident."

These are just a few of the myths I hear literally every single day. And every single one of them is a lie. In this episode, I'm busting the biggest myths that keep people from celebrating their bodies

But these myths aren't really about boudoir. They're about unworthiness. They're about the belief that you need to be different to deserve celebration. And I'm here to tell you: you were born ready for this. -

After nearly 10 years as a wedding photographer, I walked away from the industry to photograph boudoir full-time.

In this episode, I'm telling you exactly why. This isn't about hating weddings or judging anyone who loves them. It's about watching brilliant women criticize themselves in front of mirrors—even on their wedding day—and realizing the problem was never their bodies. It was how they'd been taught to see them.

Boudoir doesn't change your body. It changes how you see it.

In this episode:

- Why I left a successful wedding photography career

- What I saw in bridal suites that broke my heart

- How boudoir is an act of body liberation

- Why we named the studio "The Renaissance Room"

Welcome to The Renaissance Room—where we cure “not enough” with a heavy dose of “you’re already magnificent.”

In this episode, I’m sharing what the past 5 years have looked like since my first podcast, The Picture Imperfect Pod—from career shifts to building a boudoir photography studio centered around helping women see themselves differently.

I’m Katie Karlberg, boudoir photographer and professional myth-buster, and this podcast lives at the intersection of body image, self-worth, boudoir photography, the patriarchy, and diet culture—through the lens of my lived experience and the women I work with every day.

This space is for the women learning to feel at home in their bodies again

Your body isn't a problem to solve. It's a masterpiece to celebrate.
