Unveiled Portraits

Before doing a boudoir session, I always try to gauge my girls’ level of comfort to get an idea of how they feel going into the session. This may surprise you if you’ve had a chance to check out any of the pictures in my archives, but a lot of women who arrange to do boudoir sessions are actually really nervous about doing risqué photos. While wearing your guy’s favorite jersey can make for some appealing pictures, you shouldn’t be covering up your gorgeous body the entire session. Part of what I do as a photographer is help you ease into more sensual poses and more revealing outfits as the session goes on. We’ll start with the outfit you’re most comfortable wearing (usually the one that’s least revealing) and poses that feel most natural, then slowly progress to sexier outfits and steamier poses. If you are willing to take chances bit by bit by removing a layer or revealing more of your voluptuousness, by the end of the session, you’ll be proud of how far you’ve come!

If you’re feeling nervous about revealing more of your body, take time to think about what’s holding you back. Many women are uncomfortable with their bodies. They feel like the more clothes they wear, the better they’ll look in the pictures. That is simply not true!  If you’re nervous about letting certain body parts see the light of day, much less the lens of a camera, reflect on what this client said about her experience: 

“There is absolutely NO NEED to diet, groom, tan, etc. any more than you do on a normal basis because she made every part of me look flippin’ awesome. I’m never happy with my thighs, but she made me look so skinny! Plus, my skin looked so glowy and cool with the lighting she used. I only got to see a few on her computer before I left, but OMG. I look way better on film than I do in person.”  

Don’t stress about trying to change your body before the session. You will love how you look in these pictures! If you release a confident vibe, you can’t help but be sexy.

The best part of boudoir photography is how it makes you feel about yourself and your body! By encouraging you break down the boundaries of what you’re comfortable wearing and doing, I help you see yourself in a new way. As one client said, 

“This is like the coolest, most effective confidence boost, ever!! I bet this is how our husbands see us all the time – they see all the great stuff while us ladies sometimes focus only on the not-so-good. I hope there’s a way to tell ladies that this will boost their confidence as well as make a fantastic gift for their hubbies. WOOHOO!”  

Woohoo! That’s exactly how you’ll feel once your session is underway. Finally, you’ll see yourself for who you really are—a beautiful, confident, sexy woman.
