Reasons Not To Do Boudoir
Over the years I've written about the reasons you should book a boudoir session and I joked saying I could write your reasons for not since I've heard it so many. So here it is!
First let me reassure you that every woman who has walked through my door is nervous. They have not done this before, they are not models and they have insecurities, we all do. So if you listen to the little voice in your head telling you not to do this, you won't. But I'm telling you that you can, I have seen it many times and you can!
1. I need to loose weight.
Very few people, no matter their age or weight, are satisfied with how they look. Sure everyone needs to loose 5-10 lbs but in reality, we never do. I can pose and light you correctly, so that you look the most flattering. You should embrace the fact you are alive and healthy and that someone loves you for you. Love yourself first!
2. Who will I give it to?
Everything you do for yourself from coloring your hair, picking out a pair of shoes, exercising is done for you. Even getting boudoir pictures are done just for you. Think about it. You might be doing this to give to your husband, but deep down inside this is something you want to do, too. Be fearless, do this for you first and then for someone else.
3. I don't want anyone to see my pictures.
I wouldn't either, unless they were great, which yours will be. In all seriousness, I never tell or show anyone who’s coming in or who's picture I've taken. No ones picture is posted on my website or social media unless they approve of it. I promise you.
4. I don't have anything sexy.
Yes you do. Just look in your closet. Bra and panty sets work. Grab a pair of heels, a beautiful piece of jewelry. Dresses, gowns, robes, fur jackets, silk sheets, they all work. Bring his favorite jersey or t-shirt. Once you start looking around, the wheels in your head start working and now you have too many choices. We are here to help you because this should be easy and it is! We also have wardrobe choices in your dressing room just for you too!
5. I'm too old.
What is old? I thought my Grandmom looked old at 55 but I'm almost there and I don't look like she did and neither do you. Sure, the young girls come in, but so do the 40, 50, 60, and yes 75 year olds. Everyone is beautiful inside and out. Be happy with how you look. Life is too short. What are you waiting for?
6. I'm not comfortable showing my body to strangers.
Me neither. Our studio is all female, safe and private. You wear what you are comfortable in. Most wear lingerie, many wear clothing, few go topless. It's all up to you, I'm just here to make beautiful, lasting pictures of you!
7. Not sure if I want to spend money on me.
You are worthy of having something very nice for yourself. You will feel and look good in front of the camera and love how you feel when you see your pictures. You will always remember that feeling. What a confidence booster. One day can change your world! This is something you do once in your life and you are worth the investment . We do offer payment plans to help you so you can cherish this forever, just ask and remember, we don't tell!
8. I don’t know how to pose.
No one does. But I will help guide you and show you what to do to get the look you desire. When I look through the camera lens I see things differently than you think I do. I may tell you to turn, push , relax your hand, whatever it takes to get the picture. Again, this entire experience is easier than you think!
If I didn't answer your concerns or want more explained, please feel free to contact me. I want you to feel happy, sexy, beautiful, fearless, proud, comfortable and confident while taking your pictures. And once you see your pictures and every time you look back at them, you will feel those feeling again.
