How Do Clients Feel After A Boudoir Photo Shoot?

Boudoir photography clients always report feeling empowered and beautiful afterward. Weeks later they say that their self-esteem is much higher than it ever was.

One client, Kristen, who had lost 140 lbs before her session, mentioned feeling encouraged and comfortable throughout the photo shoot. Despite expecting to struggle in front of the camera, a little encouragement helped her to feel much more confident. Seeing the images on a computer screen as they are taken is another big confidence booster. 

Another client, Sam, shared how her initial insecurities melted away during the session.  She said she ended up feeling like the most beautiful woman in the world! 

And why not? Why shouldn’t you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world? To someone, you probably are.

What Should I Bring To Wear?

Bring as much as you like, more is better. Some people bring lingerie, maybe a man’s shirt, sportswear even. Nothing is really out of bounds. Classic boudoir portraits can be taken with a simple bedsheet. Or maybe you want to also be photographed in a dress?

Whatever you bring, try it all on at least a few days in advance. Lingerie pieces for example should make you feel special when you put them on. It’s that feeling that will give you more confidence in your shoot. Everything you bring should feel good to wear.

I’m Nervous! What Can I Do?

Trust the process, your boudoir photography shoot will be much smoother than you might imagine. We will start by chatting in a relaxed environment, discussing what items you have brought to wear, as well as talking about what you want to get from your session.

When we get to the photography, you will feel more relaxed than when you arrived. And you will be given clear instructions regarding posing, so don’t worry about how things will flow, you will be guided through the session step by step.

Are My Images Retouched?

Yes, all purchased images are polished to some degree. Individually purchased images are fully retouched and enhanced. How much they are retouched is up to you. Most people would like a little body shaping, wrinkle removal, and skin smoothing, some more than others.

There are lots of other adjustments made to images –  color balance, brightness and contrast, etc. But if you have any specific requirements, just ask.

Are My Images Kept Private?

This is entirely up to you. Boudoir images are never posted on the website or social media without your approval.

Some clients want everything to be kept private, some select images that they are happy to share, and some even say “I love them! Share whatever you want!” As with everything, you are in control.
