Busting Common Insecurities About Booking a Boudoir Session
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. You want to book a boudoir session, but those nagging insecurities are creeping in, making you second-guess yourself.
“Am I the right size?”
“I don’t feel sexy enough.”
“What if I look awkward?”
“What if my images end up online?”
Sound familiar? Girl, trust me—you’re not alone. Every single one of my clients has had those exact same fears running through their minds before they took the leap. The good news? I’m here to walk you through all those common insecurities and, spoiler alert, bust them wide open. By the time you’re done reading this, you’ll feel confident AF and ready to book the dang thing!
1. “I need to lose weight first.”
This is hands down the most common insecurity I hear. So let me just say this loud and clear: you do NOT need to change a single thing about your body to book a boudoir session. I don’t care what the scale says, I don’t care what size you wear—you are already enough. Boudoir isn’t about waiting until you hit some imaginary goal; it’s about celebrating the incredible body you have right now.
The truth? Confidence doesn’t come from losing weight; it comes from accepting yourself as you are. Boudoir is here to help you see the beauty in your body just as it is. Those curves? That softness? That strength? That’s what we’re going to highlight and celebrate during your session. Trust me, you’re going to look and feel like a million bucks.
2. “I’m not photogenic.”
Let’s be real—who actually knows how to pose like a supermodel right off the bat? No one! That’s why you’ve got me. My job is to make sure you look your absolute best in every single shot. I’ll guide you through each pose, demonstrate how to move, and help you relax into the moment. By the time we’re done, you’ll be shocked at how natural and stunning you look.
You don’t need to worry about looking awkward—I’ve got you covered, and we’re going to laugh and have fun along the way. It’s going to feel more like hanging out with your bestie than a “photoshoot.”
3. “What if my images don’t look good?”
This one’s a biggie, right? You’re worried that you won’t like how you look in the photos. But here’s the thing—boudoir is all about showing you a side of yourself you don’t see every day. It’s about shifting your perspective. When you see yourself through my lens, you’re going to see a version of yourself that is powerful, beautiful, and unapologetically confident.
And don’t worry, I’ve got years of experience. By the time we sit down for your reveal, you’ll be saying the same thing countless others have said - “I can’t believe that is actually me!” “ I feel like I have favorited every image so far!” pinky Promise.
4. “I don’t feel sexy enough.”
Let’s just call it what it is. Society has done a real number on us, making us think “sexy” is some unreachable standard. Newsflash: sexy is a feeling, not a size or a look. You are sexy—whether you’re in sweats with a messy bun or rocking that gorgeous lingerie set. Boudoir is about tapping into that inner fire that’s already there, even if you haven’t felt it in a while… or ever.
During your session, we’re going to tap into that energy, without you even realizing it’s happening. By the time you leave, you’ll not only feel sexy—you’ll feel empowered, liberated, and completely in love with yourself.
5. “What if my images end up online?”
Privacy is a BIG concern for many of my clients, and I take it very seriously. Rest assured, your images are yours, and you have full control over what happens to them. I offer a privacy contract that lets you choose exactly how your images are used—whether that’s sharing a few, every last one of them, or keeping them completely private.
You’ll never have to worry about seeing your photos online unless you’ve given explicit permission. Your comfort and trust are my top priorities, and I’ll always respect your wishes when it comes to your images.
6. “I’m nervous about the cost.”
I totally get it—boudoir is an investment. But it’s an investment in YOU, and one that’s worth every penny. To make things easier, I offer flexible monthly payment plans that allow you to spread out the cost and fit it into your budget. Whether you choose to pay upfront or take advantage of the payment plans, there’s an option for everyone, with packages ranging from $1500 to $3500 to fit different budgets. Black Friday is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of an extended 12 month payment plan.
The experience of boudoir photography and the confidence boost you’ll get is priceless. You deserve to invest in yourself, and I’m here to help make that happen in a way that feels comfortable for you.
7. “I’m too nervous to do it.”
First of all, it’s totally normal to feel nervous! This is a vulnerable experience, but I promise you, the nerves will melt away as soon as we get started. I create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can let your guard down and just be yourself. You’ll leave feeling brave, confident, and liberated—because you did something amazing, despite the nerves.
Boudoir is about pushing past the fear and stepping into your power. You’ve already taken the first step by considering a session—let’s take the next one together.
