Eliminating Boudoir Session Fears

Taking the leap of faith and doing a boudoir photoshoot is arguable the most nerve-wracking decision most women have to make. In addition to the fact that these sessions involve way more intimacy and skin exposure than regular photo shoots, they also involve facing one’s insecurities and fears, hoping that you’ll emerge more confident in the end.

That said, booking a boudoir session will do wonders for you. It can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, boost your confidence, and is a unique gift that you and your partner will reminisce about for years to come.

As such, if you have a boudoir photoshoot booked and are looking for ways to eliminate the frequent fears associated with these sessions, you’ve come to the right place. Here are four tricks that may help.

1. Establish Rapport and Build Trust With your Photographer

This is the most important step towards getting over your boudoir fears. Knowing that you’ll be doing the session with a professional who has built their career empowering other women through amazing photographs can do wonders to your confidence.

Some of the best professionals will even offer a complimentary pre-shoot consultation, if both your schedules allow. Meet for that cuppa and have a little chat to ensure you’re both on the same page.

What’s more? Ensure you talk to the photographer about what you’re feeling, your worries, and your concerns. She can use these conversations as guides when the day comes.

2. Ease Into The Session

As a general rule of thumb, no photographer should push you to do something you’re uncomfortable doing.

If you can’t get over the fear of getting semi-undressed in front of a stranger, most people recommend starting the photo shoot with outfits that cover the most skin first, then gradually working toward those that are more revealing.

3. Talk To People Who Have Done One Before

One of the most common misconceptions about boudoir photoshoot sessions is that they only work for models or those with specific body types, sizes, and frames. Nothing could be further from the truth. Boudoir sessions are for everyone! Whatever the stage in life you’re in, your profession, or your size, no one should stop or discourage you from getting a boudoir session if it’s something you desire.

With that in mind, to calm your nerves while easing into it, talk to people who have done one before and learn from their experiences. How did they get over their fears and apprehensions?

Afraid You Won’t Like The Photos?

This will usually stem from one major concern: you’re afraid that your flaws and inability to pose the right way may ruin your images. It makes sense. No one wants to look uncomfortable, awkward, or have their flaws on full display and captured on camera.

The easiest to fix this is to work with a seasoned professional. The photographer should work tentatively with you and ensure you hit the best expressions and possess that best highlight everything gorgeous about you.

Conclusion

Stop waiting until you love everything about your body or until you feel a little younger. You’re perfect just as you are. So use these tips to get out of your comfort zone because your boudoir session is waiting.
