So you've circled the date for your boudoir shoot in a heart, only to realize it might just clash with your monthly rendezvous with Mother Nature. Before you hit the panic button and envision having to cancel, let's have a little heart-to-heart. Spoiler alert: It's totally fine!
Should Your Period Have You Red-Faced About Your Boudoir Session? Nope!
Here's the lowdown: waking up to cramps a few days before your shoot might have you muttering a few choice words under your breath. But hold off on sending that frantic cancellation email. Your period isn't the photoshoot crasher you might think it is.
Fear not, for we have a plan (actually, several!):
Tampons or Menstrual Cups to the Rescue: These little lifesavers are perfect for keeping things neat and tidy during your shoot.
Chic Period Panties: Yes, they exist, and yes, they're fabulous. Think of them as your secret weapon - pair them with a sassy bra, and you've got an outfit that screams confidence. Your secret's safe with us!
Pads? No Problem: If tampons or cups aren't your cup of tea, and you're a pad enthusiast, we've still got you covered. Opt for a slim pad and we'll pick outfits that keep everything under wraps. Planning on baring it all? We might need to tweak the plan, but we'll make it work!
Worried About Bloating?
Bloating might have you feeling less than fabulous, but trust me, camera magic is real. With the right angles, lighting, and poses, you'll be wondering if that's really you looking back from the photos (spoiler: it is, and you're stunning).
For Those Extra Tough Months:
If your period feels more like a curse or you're dealing with conditions like PCOS that make you dread the very thought of moving, let alone posing, we can always shuffle things around to find a better fit date-wise.
The Takeaway:
Deciding to go ahead with your boudoir shoot during your period is totally up to you. It's all about how you feel and what you're comfortable with. There's no pressure to be anything but yourself. The aim is to leave you feeling empowered, radiant, and above all, comfortable in your own skin. So let's embrace the laughs, the fun, and the fabulousness of you, period or not!
