Why Every Woman Should Do A Shoot
I wholeheartedly believe that every woman should have the chance to experience the magic of a boudoir or beauty photoshoot. I know what you might be thinking – "I need to lose weight first," "I'm not photogenic," or "I'll never look like those women in your photos." Well, I want to assure you that none of those concerns matter one bit – you are absolutely perfect just the way you are.
My mission is to make you feel and look like an absolute goddess in your photos, and trust me, I'm dedicated to making that happen. Your unique beauty deserves to be celebrated, and I'm here to capture that essence for you.
Participating in a boudoir or beauty photoshoot is an incredible journey that you'll cherish forever. If you're not quite ready for a boudoir session, a beauty session might be the perfect stepping stone for you. I've had numerous clients who started with a beauty session and later returned for a boudoir experience because they felt empowered and confident.
So, whether it's boudoir or beauty, it's about embracing your uniqueness and celebrating your individuality. You are worthy of feeling like a superstar, and I'm here to help you make it happen. Don't let any doubts hold you back – let's create unforgettable memories together.
1. You deserve to get pampered.
When was the last time you sat back and had your hair and makeup done? You know that feeling you get after having your hair done for the first time in a while, everything seems better. You feel better, happier, and fresh, you feel more YOU. Now, imagine this. You walk into our studio – fun music is playing, a stylist is awaiting your arrival to pamper you, we settle you in with snacks and drinks, and you get to sit back and relax while we spend the next few hours pampering you and creating magazine-worthy portraits of you. Can you imagine anything better? We don’t pamper ourselves enough. You deserve this.
2. It teaches you to be comfortable in your own skin.
We are our own worst critics. Where we see flaws and imperfections, others see beauty. It is my job to help you see how beautiful and amazing you are. Every single woman I have photographed has walked away feeling more confident. Once you’re all glammed up – gorgeous hair and makeup, beautiful lingerie, and hot heels – you’ll look AND feel amazing. This feeling is evident in every single one of your images. You’ll be reminded of this newfound confidence every time you think back to your shoot, look at your album, or look up at the prints on your wall. I promise.
3. It’s a great excuse to buy new lingerie.
When was the last time you bought or even WORE lingerie? For many of us, it’s been a while (or never!). This is the perfect time to splurge on yourself. Pick out some kickass pieces that you feel amazing in. You could even use this as an opportunity to try something that isn’t really your style. You’d be surprised how much you love pieces that you didn’t think were really “you”. Don’t feel like you have to spend a fortune either. There are many places where you can purchase amazing lingerie at a reasonable price (H&M, Amazon, etc.). The best part? Every time you put that outfit back on after your shoot, you’ll be reminded how badass you really are.
4. It’s a TON of fun!
For many women, the days leading up to their shoot can be nerve-wracking. I get it – I’d be more worried if you WEREN’T nervous! Having nerves just means you care and that this is important to you. Don't confuse your nerves with fear! You’re doing something that you’ve never done before and you aren’t 100% sure what to expect. I promise you, once we start shooting, you will calm down immediately and you might even start to have a good time, LOL. Most women that I photograph definitely describe the experience as a fun and memorable one! It’s not every day that you get to be treated like a celebrity – take advantage of it!
5. It pushes you out of your comfort zone.
We all have our comfort zone. Sometimes it’s our role as “Mom” or “Wife”. For others, it’s our role in our careers. For most of us, it’s not “Model”. No one ever walks into my studio knowing exactly what to do in front of the camera with their face or body – that’s my job! I will demonstrate each and every pose prior to having you do it, and then I will guide you into each pose. I will tell you the angle to tilt your head, where to point your toes, and how to part your lips. This is a safe place to let loose and be sexy – a side of you that typically gets buried beneath all of the other roles we take on as women. Our shoots are full of laughter, dancing, and really bad karaoke.
6. Bonus: It makes a GREAT gift!
I can’t think of a better gift to give yourself and your significant other than the gift of YOU. A photograph stops time - it preserves you as you are right now so that your future self can look back on your confidence and beauty. There is nothing like it, I assure you. Most of my clients are speechless when they see their photos for the first time. “Is that really me?!?” is a common reaction. Does your significant other really need another watch, flask, or bottle of whiskey? These are gifts that ANYONE can buy. Imagine the look on your significant other’s face when they open an album full of sexy photos of you. Many of our clients order wall art to hang in their bedrooms or bathrooms to remember that feeling every time they look at it. So, while many think boudoir photography is a gift for a significant other, it is also a gift for YOU.
