A boudoir session is an incredible way to celebrate your body, boost your confidence, and experience something you may not have experienced before. I love booking these sessions because my clients always leave feeling empowered! Many come to me because I either photographed their wedding or will do so in the future. Some clients are brides who want to present a gift to their husband-to-be on the big day, and many will order an heirloom album that I help design for them.
Shelby was one of those brides. She visited my studio in downtown Bloomington for a boudoir session, then presented her groom, Charles, with an album of her favorite photos during their first look. His face says it all! If you are interested in booking one of these sessions but haven’t yet taken the plunge, stick around. These three boudoir session tips will help you have a confidence-boosting experience!
Boudoir Session Tips
Work With a Boudoir Session Photographer You Trust
It’s SO important to book a boudoir session photographer you trust. To that end, hiring someone you’ve worked with before can be helpful! Most of my boudoir clients choose to work with me because I photographed their engagement session or wedding day. They know and feel comfortable with me, which is the foundation for an amazing boudoir session.
Wear Something That Makes You Feel Comfortable
Your boudoir session outfit should make you feel comfortable and confident, never insecure or restricted. For example, if you can’t get your mind off how your outfit itches or how it makes your arms look, you won’t be able to focus on accessing your inner confidence and having the best experience possible. I’m always happy to provide ideas if you need help deciding what to wear! It’s all about feeling like your most sexy and confident self.
Communicate With Your Boudoir Session Photographer
A boudoir session involves lots of back-and-forth communication to ensure you feel comfortable. I ALWAYS want my clients to tell me if a pose isn’t working for them. In addition, I try to mitigate any awkwardness or discomfort they may feel by demonstrating poses and listening to their suggestions. The process is collaborative and designed to produce beautiful, empowering images!
I hope these boudoir session tips help you feel confident in pursuing this unique experience. Boudoir photography is truly the ultimate form of self-empowerment—and makes an extra-special wedding present for your partner! If you would like to schedule a boudoir session with me, it’s as simple as adding this service to your wedding photography package. Get in touch with me today to start the booking process!
