5 Things You're Not Allowed to Say in My Boudoir Photography Studio

 The studio is a haven for positivity. As such, we don’t allow negative self talk! Here are a few phrases to go ahead and kick from your vocabulary before your shoot (or honestly just for your life, stop saying them).

1. “I hate my (insert body part here)”

   What does this phrase even do for you? Does it help? Does it change anything? Of course not. Stop saying it. You’re beautiful as you are, whether you see it or not. Hatred of any piece of you is too much hatred to hold. Let it go. Stop saying this.

2. “I don’t look like (insert anyone else’s name)”

   Good. I’m so glad you don’t. You look like you and you absolutely should look like you! I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times, but there’s only one you in this world. You’re not meant to be a replica of anyone else. You also have no idea who out there is looking at you and wishing they had some of your features. Stop saying this.

3. “I can’t-”

   Unless you’re gonna finish that sentence with “-believe I ever thought negatively of myself,” then don’t say it! If you want to do something and there’s no physical limitations that you can’t control, you can! Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear. Stop saying this.

4. Anything judgmental toward yourself or others

   I don’t hold the title of judge or Jesus, so don’t expect me to do any judging. I also don’t allow it in my studio. The only thing we allow judging people on is being an asshole. We have no idea what other people are going through, have been through, or will go through. We have no right to judge them for their lives. Stop doing this.

5. “I wish I was more like (insert someone else’s name)”

   You can be whoever you want to be. The only person who can change your life is you. There is so much good in this world, you can get yourself a slice, too! You can define your success. You can create a life that will make the old you say “I’m so happy to be me.”

This experience is meant to help you see yourself in a more positive light. Seeing yourself in beautiful photos is not the only way we do this. Practice removing these phrases and habits from your vocabulary now because you won’t be saying them when you walk through our door.

How Does Booking a Boudoir Photo Shoot Work?

So, you’re ready to book your very own boudoir photo shoot! That’s great! But where do you start?

I got you! So, the first step is a phone consultation. This call should only last about 15-20 minutes and I use it to give you all of the basic information that you need! I can also answer any questions you have. This is also when we pick your date if you’re ready to book!

Booking the right date for you depends on your answer to this question: is there a date you’d need your products in hand by? For instance as an anniversary or wedding gift? It’s best to have your photo shoot 4-6 weeks in advance. I typically have your photos edited within a few days of your photo shoot, but sometimes products can take some time to get back. In order to ensure there’s no delays, 4-6 weeks is the best time.

Got your date? Alright, what’s next?

In order to be considered fully booked, you’ll have to complete two steps. The first is payment of your session fee. This is typically done at the end of your phone consultation. You’ll also need to sign our service contract. Once those steps are complete, you’re on the schedule!

Another step we’ll take on the phone is scheduling your shopping trip! This trip is an integral part of our process because it helps alleviate the pressure of finding the right outfits and also brings you comfort by getting to know your photographer a bit better!

Basically, what I’m saying is: the process is actually super easy! I’m here to help make this the best experience ever!
