What It Really Takes To Do A Boudoir Photoshoot

What do you really need to even fathom booking that boudoir photoshoot you’ve been thinking about?

It’s not what you might think when it comes to boudoir photography…

Boudoir photography is a journey of self-discovery, an intimate experience that encourages you to embrace and love your body. It's about celebrating your favorite features and acknowledging what you might have considered flaws in the past. Though, the very thought of stepping out of your comfort zone to bare it all for a stranger with a camera can be daunting (understandably!).

A common objection I hear over and over is, "I don't have the confidence to do a boudoir session." But here's the truth – you don't need confidence to book a shoot (this comes AFTER doing the thing!

It's something you gain through the experience.

Even though a boudoir photoshoot promises a confidence boost, stepping beyond your comfort zone is never an easy task. So, how do others find the strength to do it? The key lies in one’s COURAGE.

“‘Confidence comes from believing you can do it
Courage is giving it a go despite fear’”

Discovering even the smallest ounce of courage to embark on something daring yet profoundly rewarding is all it takes. Just like any new endeavor, whether it's starting a new job, picking up a new hobby, or trying out a new sport, there's always an initial nervousness and anxiety that requires courage to overcome. Once you muster that courage, confidence naturally follows.

It's so important to understand the difference between confidence and courage: confidence comes from believing you can do something, while courage is about taking that first step despite the fear. In relation to boudoir photography, courage is the driving force that propels you beyond your insecurities and apprehensions.

It's easy to look at others and assume they're naturals or that they've done it before. But don’t forget that every single woman I have photographed are real people, not professional models. They are unique individuals who, regardless of age or size, carry their own insecurities and seek to find confidence within themselves.

Over the years, working with so many different women, each comes with her unique story and insecurities, I've come to realize that every client has the potential to look stunning and master the poses. There's a common thread that weaves through every session – the transformation from uncertainty to empowerment.

You won't be an exception to this. Trust in yourself, embrace the journey, and rest assured that you will slay your session, exuding confidence and looking absolutely fabulous.

The essence of boudoir photography lies not in perfection but in the celebration of authenticity.

It's a reminder that confidence is not a prerequisite but one of the incredible results of your courage to embrace vulnerability. So, if you've been thinking about booking your own boudoir photoshoot and find yourself questioning your confidence, remember that all it takes is a bit of courage to embark on a transformative journey, leading you to newfound self-assurance and empowerment.
