All too often I hear clients say things like “I need to lose weight before I can take boudoir photos” or “I’m not sexy in photos”. As a boudoir photographer, I’m here to tell you that those excuses are just that – excuses. If it’s your first time having boudoir photos done, it’s going to feel awkward! It’s a new and vulnerable thing that you’re trying. I’m not here to lie to you about that. I am, however, here to share all the reasons why you should get boudoir photos done now instead of waiting.
EMBRACING SELF-LOVE
Boudoir photography is all about embracing self-love, accepting yourself for who you are, and finding beauty in every detail that makes you uniquely you. I believe that self-love is the foundation of any successful boudoir session. Before we even start shooting, we’ll talk about what you’re goals are for the session and any insecurities you bring with you. I hope by the end of the session that you leave with just a little more love for yourself than you came in with.
BUILDING CONFIDENCE
It’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous before a boudoir session, trust me, I know. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself without any judgment. The prompts I use during the shoot play a vital role in building your confidence. As the prompts guide you through seemingly random positions, you’ll find yourself naturally relaxing, letting go of any self-consciousness, and allowing your genuine emotions to shine through.
CELEBRATING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF
Boudoir photography is a celebration of YOU – your journey, your personality, and your unique beauty. Through prompts, we can capture those raw and real moments that reflect your overall vibe. Whether it’s a confident pose, a genuine smile, or a powerful gaze, these prompts add movement add life to your photos, making them feel alive and authentic.
LETTING GO AND EMBRACING THE EXPERIENCE
With prompts, your boudoir session transforms from a traditional photoshoot into an intimate and fun experience. You’ll be laughing (mostly at me being a weirdo), listening to music, and hopefully finding more reasons to fall in love with yourself!
A Pacific Northwestern-er through and through, I practically have rainwater in my veins. My home base is Bellingham, WA, where I work my magic as a wedding, elopement, and boudoir photographer. My passion lies in capturing not just moments, but the incredible journeys and love tales of my clients, all while helping them embrace and flaunt their unique, authentic selves.
