Nervous about doing boudoir shoot? Don’t be! Client Testimonial

For starters, rest assured: feeling nervous at first about a photo shoot of an intimate nature like this - it’s normal and natural. Most, if not all of my clients are at first.

But that is what is so special and transformative about choosing to pose for boudoir photos is this:

It is when you make it to the other side of what you are nervous about that you can stand in your POWER and feel FREE and EMPOWERED (not to mention, so proud of yourself). It’s the BIGGEST reward and satisfaction that lies just on the other side of everything you thought was scary - until you decided to trust yourself and do it for you!!!

Calm Boudoir Nerves by Getting to Know Each Other First

Before a camera lens is ever pointed your way, you’ll get to meet me face to face via Zoom first.

I always insist: I don’t want to be a stranger with a camera on the day of your boudoir shoot - that can be so daunting! Instead, I want you to feel more and more comfortable with both me and the idea that yes, you’re actually doing an intimate photoshoot and it’s going to be amazing! Plus, you’ll also learn that these photos are just for you - it’s up to you if you ever want anyone else to seem them by always being in control of your photos' privacy.

Trust me, you’ll get excited planning all the fun details and designing a session that feels unique to you, your tastes, your comfort level and your aesthetic. You’ll also get real about what you love about yourself - and what you are working on loving more - so that we can plan the perfect outfits, lighting and posing to accomplish you seeing the most gorgeous photos of yourself you’ve ever seen. And, even if you have a fear of the camera, or even if you have the preconceived notion that you won’t look good in photos - I’m here to dispel that for you.

Plus don’t worry, I always guide you to the best places to shop based on your likes, body type - and even budget. So whether you are looking for lingerie pieces you can invest in, or for something fabulous that photographs great but is budget friendly, I got you covered.
