Hey, gorgeous Queens! 🌟
So, you're thinking about booking a boudoir shoot but feeling a bit nervous? You're not alone! Many of my clients feel the same way before their first session. In fact, I always tell them, " It would be weird if you weren't nervous!"
So today, I wanted to take a moment to chat with you all about those common fears and how to overcome them so you can go from nervous to empowered in no time.<3
Common Fears and Anxieties
First off, it's totally normal to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. Here are some common worries:
"I’m not photogenic enough."
"What if I don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera?"
"What if I don’t know how to pose?"
"Will I feel awkward being so exposed?"
Tips to Overcome the Jitters
Remember Your Why:
Think about why you want to do this shoot. Whether it’s to celebrate a milestone, boost your confidence, or just have fun, focusing on your motivation can help ease the nerves.
Choose the Right Photographer:
Find someone you feel comfortable with. Look at their portfolio, read reviews, and have a chat before booking. Feeling a connection with your photographer can make a huge difference.
Prepare Ahead:
Choose outfits that make you feel fabulous, and practice some poses in the mirror. But don’t worry too much – your photographer will guide you!
Self-Care:
Treat yourself to some self-care before the shoot. Get a good night’s sleep, drink plenty of water, and maybe even pamper yourself with a spa day.
Personal Stories of Transformation
~I remember one client, Sarah, who came in feeling super anxious. She kept saying, “I’m not photogenic at all.” But once we started the session, her nerves began to melt away. We laughed, played some of her favourite music, and before she knew it, she was striking poses like a pro. When she saw her photos, she couldn’t believe it was her – she felt so empowered and beautiful.
~Another client, Emily, was worried about feeling exposed. We took things slowly, and I made sure she was comfortable every step of the way. By the end of the shoot, she was glowing with confidence. She told me later that the experience was incredibly liberating and helped her embrace her body in a new way.
From Nervous to Empowered
Remember, feeling nervous is just the first step in your journey. By the end of your boudoir shoot, you’ll likely feel a sense of empowerment and self-love that you never expected. Embrace the process, trust yourself, and get ready to see yourself in a whole new light.
You’ve got this, beautiful Queen! 💖
