How Do I Know if I'm Ready for a Boudoir Photography Session?

 So, you think you might be ready for your first boudoir photography session, huh? You still have some lingering fear making you unsure if it’s the right time. I understand! That’s totally natural! It’s normal to be nervous about stripping down in front of a virtual stranger who’s going to take photos of you! Here are some ways to help you realize you’re actually ready and the fear is just holding you back!

• You’ve found a photographer you want to be friends with.

  There are plenty of situations in life that require a cold, clinical bedside manner. Boudoir photography is not one of those. If you’re talking to your boudoir photographer on the phone and you start to feel like you’ve known them your whole life…you might have found… THE ONE.

  Okay, I get it! This might not be QUITE as important as finding your perfect life partner, but let me have my dramatics, damn it!

• Fear is just one ingredient in your boudoir photography passion cocktail.

  If the only thing you feel when you think about booking a boudoir session is fear, you might not be ready. But if you also feel excited, even in the tiniest measure, you’re ready! That little spark of excitement is trying to claw its way to the top of the cocktail, but fear is weighing it down like cinder blocks! If you focus on the excitement, the fear will start to ease.

• Your boudoir photographer is practically as meticulous as a doomsday prepper

  They’ve laid out exactly what they need from you (your scheduling availability, your signed contract, your first born child), and exactly what they’re going to provide to you (heaps of confidence, badass photos, a rockin’ good time). Do you feel prepared? If you don’t, do you feel like you can ask questions? Make sure your photographer is receptive to questions because you need to be able to feel ready!

It’s okay to be afraid. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

When Should I Schedule My Boudoir Photography Session Appointment?

I get asked this question a lot

The answer depends on a few factors! Let’s dive in!

Helping you determine the best time to schedule your shoot is part of my job! I try to keep people informed and up to date via my social media about availability, so it’s definitely important to keep up with that! In general, here are some questions to help you determine when would be best to schedule your shoot!

1. Are you wanting to give your boudoir album to someone as a gift for an event/anniversary that has a set date?

    It typically only takes me a few days to edit your photos (except in busy seasons), but it can take a few weeks to get your products back from my supplier. So, to be safe, your appointment should take place 4-6 weeks before you need your products.

2. Are you specifically wanting to give it as a Christmas gift?

   Oooh Lordy, okay. So the wait time should be about the same, but you should know that a lot of people have the same idea. October and November book up very quickly, so you should go ahead and get it scheduled as early as possible.

3. Are you in a hurry to get your shoot done?

   We usually book out a few months in advance, so it might be hard to accommodate you. We do sometimes have people reschedule, so we can occasionally squeeze people in on short notice. Long story short, don’t be afraid to ask!

Scheduling your photoshoot is pretty easy! The first step is submitting a contact form! Then we schedule a phone consultation where I give you all of the information and answer any questions you have! From there, we get you scheduled!

After that, all you need to do is pay the session fee and sign the contract! So what are you waiting for? Let’s get you scheduled!
