The Biggest Mistakes People Make Before Their Boudoir Shoot
Trust me, jitters are completely normal before a Boudoir shoot. Undeniably, Boudoir is one of the most intimate moments women have with themselves and often are nervous about what to expect in those nearing moments. I promise that you are going to look absolutely amazing & feel amazing throughout the process!
Obsessing over others Boudoir Photos - Comparison is the thief of Joy. It’s absolutely okay to search Pinterest for inspiration and creative ideas. What you should not do is compare yourself to other Women’s pictures. The internet is not reality, you do not want to go down a dark hole of comparison. I find my ladies enjoy the experience the most when they come in with an open mind! My pre shoot questionnaires are a great way to customize any specific ideas you have for your shoot.
Getting wasted the night before - I feel like this is a no brainer but I’m going to leave it here as a gentle reminder. You want to be feeling well rested and hydrated on the day of your session. Take the night before to relax, take a bubble bath, use your favorite lotion, listen to your favorite playlist and have an extra glass of water!
Not eating the day of - I promise you that one slice of toast is not going to change the outcome of your gallery! Eat babe! You are going to need energy. We are constantly moving throughout your shoot. Eat the protein, colorful veggies and some carbs! No one likes to be hangry.
Engaging in negative self talk - It’s hard work being your biggest fan, I get it i’m human too. You did not book this session to make it all the way to the finish line to start tearing yourself apart. You are worth more than that. I encourage you to flip the script. I will absolutely do the same thing if you are talking down to yourself during your session. This time for you is NO place for negativity & I will hype you up!
Example: Client: “ I hate the bottom of my stomach, can you just make me look skinny” Me: “ You look wonderful! Let’s find an outfit that is going to make you feel absolutely stunning. You will be so shocked when we start posing and you see the back of my camera!”
Keep these few things in mind as you are getting ready for your Boudoir Session! I know you are going to have an absolute blast. We are here to set you up for success. Please never hesitate to reach out with those pre session jitter questions, I am an open book!
