Busting Excuses
I would love to do a boudoir shoot but I need to lose weight first.
Listen, I am so sorry that society has made all of us feel that we are not enough as we are. It's like when we are thinner, when we weight less, we will be enough. But you know, if you've ever tried this horrible weight loss cycle, you can never lose enough weight. The problem is in our mindset that we are not enough. In fact, you are beautiful as you are in this very moment. Your body carries you through your day, supports you through stress and trauma, witnesses your joys and sorrows, and deserves to be celebrated. Let me show you what I see through my lens . Let me show you how strong and beautiful you are. I promise you will be more confident and have a ton of fun! And that even before you see your photos!
I don't think I'm sexy and and I don't know how to look sensual.
This is one of the most common fears I hear from clients, that they don't know how to pose or are afraid that their facial expressions will look weird. I say, your job is to just show up exactly as you are and I will take care of the rest. We will glam you up and make you feel and look beautiful. Then I will guide you through every single pose and facial expression the whole day. And, some people like to see themselves smiling, some prefer a serious look, and lots of people like a mix of both. There is no rule that you have to do a smoldering cliche boudoir pose. Your shoot should be unique to you and you should look like yourself when you see your final photos. Yourself, a little boosted up!
A boudoir shoot is an investment I cannot afford.
A boudoir shoot is totally a luxury experience and is an investment. I do offer payment plans and I like to get creative to make things affordable for you. But if it’s financially possible for you I will say that the investment you will be making in yourself will outweigh the one-time financial investment. The renewed sense of self and confidence that you’ll leave with will last, and each time you view your album, click on your digital photo, or walk by that beautiful portrait of yourself on the wall the whole experience will rush back to you.
I don’t have enough time for myself.
Well, if this is the case, a full day of pampering could be exactly what you need. We can plan the shoot well ahead of time if that helps configure your work schedule, or get childcare, and plan this time for yourself. A day away will not cure a busy stressful daily schedule but it can help you return to your life refreshed and reenergized.
