How to get comfortable with getting boudoir photos done

Getting comfortable with the idea of having boudoir photos taken can be a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Here are some tips to help you feel more at ease with the process:

Research and Preparation:

Take the time to research different boudoir photographers and find someone whose work and style resonate with you. Look through their portfolio to get an idea of the types of photos they produce and the atmosphere they create. Additionally, communicate openly with the photographer about your preferences, concerns, and any specific ideas you have for the shoot.

Choose Comfortable Attire:

Ultimately you want to select lingerie or outfits that make you feel comfortable, confident, and true to yourself. Choose pieces that accentuate your favourite features and make you feel beautiful. If you’re unsure about what to wear, don’t hesitate to ask the photographer for guidance or suggestions.

Professional Hair and Makeup:

They can enhance your natural features and create a look that aligns with your vision for the photoshoot, boosting your confidence in front of the camera. Most of the sessions include this, but it is best to double check and be prepared before you come, as a couple times a year it is not included when booking limited/mini sessions.

Bring a Friend for Support:

If it would make you feel more comfortable, consider bringing a trusted friend or loved one to the photoshoot for moral support. Having someone you trust by your side can help alleviate nerves and make the experience more enjoyable. I do not encourage drinks to help ease your nervousness, as it will be noticeable in your eyes and creates a longer session.

Focus on the Experience:

Instead of fixating on the final photos, try to focus on the experience itself. Treat it as an opportunity for self-expression, empowerment, and self-care. Embrace the process of being pampered and photographed, and allow yourself to fully immerse in the moment.

Trust the Photographer:

Next, trust that the photographer is a professional who has your best interests at heart. They are skilled at creating a comfortable and supportive environment for their clients and know how to capture your best angles and expressions. Trust their guidance and direction during the shoot.

Practice Self-Love and Acceptance:

Lastly, remember that boudoir photography is about celebrating your body exactly as it is. Embrace your imperfections and unique beauty. Allow yourself to let go of any self-doubt or insecurities and fully embrace the experience with self-love and acceptance.

In summary by following these tips and approaching the boudoir photoshoot with an open mind and positive attitude, you can feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera, resulting in stunning and empowering photographs that reflect your true essence.
