This past week you may have sat on the couch or toilet, maybe both, judging the looks and interpretation of the theme at this year’s Met Gala thinking, “I could do better...If I had access to the same resources.” I think I can speak for both us us when I say, our odds of getting invited to The Met Gala may be slim but you can still channel your glamor outside of scrolling through social media by booking a boudoir shoot with me.
Channeling glamor and confidence in front of the camera can be easier said than done… That’s why preparation is key.
When trying anything new, our doubts and worries try to give us a reason to say, “no.” But those excuses can easily be replaced by affirmations and reasons to say yes to a session that highlights your beauty and makes you excited to be you.
If your finances are making you rethink booking a session, I offer payment plans. I want to ensure that my boudoir photography sessions are accessible to all women no matter their budget. You can find out more about what payment plans I offer here.
Once you’ve decided on the payment plan that best fits your needs, perhaps worries about how you will look in the photos come into your mind. Are you thinking about losing a few pounds before you officially book? Are you looking to use this shoot as a motivation to lose weight?
Babe, don’t sweat it! Be proud of your body the way it looks right now. Your body has survived a pandemic. You own the body of a survivor.
Your shoot is about loving and accepting your body as it is rather than comparing it to societies standards of beauty.
If you find that every time you look in the mirror, you focus on your insecurities, I have a challenge for you. Next time you look in the mirror, say three things you like about your body then simply walk away.
This will help you develop a mantra and outlook on your body where you focus on what you like, as it is, instead of focusing on what you want to change.
Then when you come to your session, you’ll be excited to show off your body. And that excitement is contagious.
Knowing your favorite parts about yourself makes the session delightful for both of us. I want you to be as confident in front of the camera as I am behind it.
If you’re unsure of how to pose, that that’s totally fine! I’ll be directing you in and out of every single pose so all you have to do is follow my instructions and you’ll look like a total pro in your images.
My ideal client is the everyday woman and I know that the everyday woman doesn’t practice posing during her lunch break.
Since you’re coming prepared with what you love about your body, I can help position you in poses from head-to-toe that accentuate your favorite features. Posing is teamwork and we are Venus and Serena.
Even though we are a team, only one of us is in costume. If wearing lingerie makes you feel too vulnerable, you don’t have to wear it. Your session should empower you. Together, we can brainstorm and find a solution that fits your confidence level and still satisfies both of us creatively. Here are some alternative wardrobe ideas.
I am always flexible and willing to come up with creative solutions to accommodate my client’s comfort zone and what they hope to get out of the session.
I offer payment plans, posing direction, and alternate wardrobe choices to make sure you feel confident and beautiful during your session.
Your body is photo ready now and all we need to do is highlight your favorite parts.
You’ll be blown away when you see that inner goddess shine through in your final images.
By booking a session with me, you’ll unlock a level of confidence and comfort with your body you wouldn’t have channeled otherwise. Just think, if The Met Gala ever comes to Montana, you’ll be ready to strike a pose. Even if it’s on your couch ;)
READY TO BOOK YOUR SHOOT?!
The first step to booking your session is to schedule a 10-15 minute initial phone call with me. During our phone call, I’ll walk you through what to expect during your experience with my studio, answer any questions you may have, and select your session date if you’re ready:
Xoxo,
