“The most alluring thing a woman can have is confidence.”
A quote from Beyonce.
That’s easy when you look like her I hear you say under your breath!
Here’s another one from her
“I get nervous when I don’t get nervous.” and “Your self-worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone telling you who you are.”
Like most women, yes even Beyonce, we all have flaws, things that we wish we could change about our bodies. It’s whether we allow our insecurities to bully our mind.
I am constantly hearing a whole host of excuses as to why there’s no way I could ever do a boudoir shoot.
Here’s the top 5
One: I need to lose weight/tone up
Well don’t we all! But I can do so much more with lighting, angles, posing and your choice of lingerie than you can do slogging it out at the gym in six months. Believe me you’ll feel like you’ve done a boudoir workout after the session. No matter what your body shape I will tailor the shoot to suit you.
Two: I take rubbish pictures
Well it’s a good job that I’m taking them then! Trust is a huge barrier during any shoot and especially a boudoir photoshoot. At first you will feel really self conscious but in no time at all after you’ve been pampered in hair and makeup you’ll look amazing and we will be having a giggle, you’ll feel very relaxed and totally in the swing of things.
Three: I can’t pose
That’s my job to pose you. In some shots I’ll pose you within an inch of your life and in others I will give you an action, a movement to do. I may ask to to stop mid flow as I’ll see something that I love!
Four: I’m so nervous
Great, everyone is at first it’s my job to relax you into the shoot. You’re coming out of your comfort zone. A boudoir shoot isn’t generally an everyday occurrence but you’ll feel so glad that you did it.
Five: Not sure what to wear
Not a problem. As soon as you book your session I will send you my lingerie guide which is bursting with advice on which type of lingerie suits which body types. Also I ask that you bring something that you ordinarily wouldn’t consider because by the end of the shoot you’ll be feeling so confident that you’ll kick yourself if you don’t!
No one is ever feels totally comfortable at their first boudoir photoshoot. No one ever feels ready.
The only thing that you’ll be thinking at the end of the shoot is why didn’t I do it SOONER!
