10 Excuses To Avoid A Boudoir Session.
Have you ever thought to yourself, “I’d love to do a boudoir session, but I need to lose some weight first,”
or
“I’d love to do a boudoir session, but I don’t have the confidence,”
or
any number of things like that? If so, then this article is for you.
I’m going to list some of the most common excuses and why they are just that - EXCUSES! Every single person on this planet can and should do a boudoir session and I’m here to tell you why you shouldn’t wait!
Putting off a boudoir session is easy to do. But the reality is, those excuses are why you need to do that boudoir session and why it should be now.
I need to lose weight first.
The only judgement you will get from me, encouragement and positive reinforcement because you look amazing! No matter your size, from 00 to 30, I see your best self and pose you in ways so you can see it too!
The only important thing to remember about how you feel about your weight, we are all in it together. Everyone is self conscious. Every person in the world deserves to see themselves in a new light and fall in love with their own body, no matter what size.
That’s exactly what boudoir does!
2. I need more confidence to do Boudoir.
Most women are beyond nervous when they walk into the studio. I do everything I can to help alleviate the nerves off the hop, but, it’s ok to be nervous at the start. By the end, you will be confident and rocking your session. You will be wondering why you were so nervous to begin with.
My system allows you to work towards the outfits that make you nervous. We start in your comfort zone, have some laughs, play some music, and build some confidence.
3. I’m not… sexy/photogenic/{insert self doubt here}
Here’s a secret, none of that matters. All you have to do is follow my guidance because I even physically show you what to do!! You may not even feel sexy while doing the session, some of the poses feel so awkward! Honestly, trust me and you’ll be blown away by just how sexy you can be!
4. I don’t…
have anything to wear/ know what to wear/feel comfortable wearing lingerie.
I have tips and advice to guide you through some ideas. I would almost bet you have everything you need in your closet right now for your session.
So guess what? When you book a session with me, I walk you through everything. Literally. I send all clients their very own “style guide” packed full of outfit ideas.
- Guess what else? It isn’t all lingerie!
Your comfort level comes first. You absolutely do not have to wear anything you’re not comfortable in. Modest boudoir is totally a thing! (Sexy cocktail dress, putting on heels or just unzipping the back are just some of the inspiration)
5. I’m a mom, no time for myself.
I hear this one a lot. Being a mom means you deserve to take time for yourself! I know it’s easier said than done. But having a few hours to yourself, and being told how amazing you look will make you refreshed and rejuvenated to take on the kids again.
Come into your session in your pj’s, have a glass of wine while you get your hair and makeup done, and chit chat with me and then top it all off with a super fun photoshoot where you get to look and feel like the hottest mom on the block.
6. I can’t afford it.
Boudoir is an investment. But, you aren’t paying for “sexy photos.” You are paying for self-love, self-confidence and the opportunity to fall in love with yourself and your body. When you truly think about what you will gain, the photos are just part of it. Can you really put a price tag on loving yourself?
Boudoir photos allow you to look back 10, 20, 30+ years down the road and remember what an amazing woman you are!
7. I’m nervous about being in lingerie in front of someone.
I promise you, watching me demonstrate the poses will immediately alleviate any fears you have about that. The sessions are packed with fun, plus, you don’t have to wear anything you don’t want to.
Also, we’ve seen it all before. It’s our job and we are 100% professional! There is no judgement in the studio.
8. I’m too old.
There is absolutely no such thing as being too old for a boudoir session. I’ve worked with women from age 18 all the way up to age 70+
Worried about wrinkles/cellulite/sagging? Between posing and lighting, you won’t be disappointed. I typically don’t do a TON of photoshop, because we want the pictures to reflect you. I do a little skin smoothing and acne removal every time, but if you have something you truly want edited out, all you have to do is ask! I am here to make you feel beautiful. That being said, I don’t change your body shape, you are beautiful the way you are and I want the photos to reflect you and your best self!
9. I don’t have anyone to give the photos to.
YES YOU DO.
Boudoir pictures, above all else, should be for you.
They make a great gift for a partner too, but that is pure bonus! Honestly, a boudoir session is the best gift you can give yourself. What it will do for your confidence and self love is like nothing else.
10. I’m not comfortable having my pictures shared.
No one has to see anything you don’t want them to. While I absolutely love to share all my clients photos, I completely understand that these are very intimate photos. So I respect your privacy.
