I get it. I really do. Booking a boudoir shoot is a big deal. There is the cost, which at first seems scary, until you realize what you’re getting. And then there’s the idea of picking out lingerie that looks good…especially since you’re going to have to do it alone. And then there’s the whole, “body thing”. Is the photographer going to make me look good? How much do I have to reveal? Can I do this? Well I’ve got some answers!
Choosing a photographer
Most people visit several websites before deciding to actually book a boudoir shoot. And while everyone is looking for something different, the main goal is the fantasy; to look and feel beautiful. So, do your homework. Ask your friends for recommendations. Check out Yelp and other local websites. Once you have a few names, make a list. Then look at their website and social media accounts. If you like the pictures, reach out to them to discuss your vision for your shoot. If you don’t have a vision this is the perfect time to start forming ideas. Look at the pictures other women have taken and see what you like. Talk to the photographer about ideas and looks that you think will make you shine! This is also when you should make sure you’re on the same page. Being sure your expectations and the photographer’s vision are the same is extremely important for both beautiful photos and a satisfying experience.
Revealing, conservative, sexy, sensual you can have what you choose
Figuring out how you want your shoot styled is first.
Do you want a white, gauzy Angel wing motif? Or are you feeling some leather and straps? Or even more intriguing, do you want to swap from one to another with your change? Whatever your ideas are lay them out in your mind first. There are even ways to do boudoir shoots with full clothing on and still look and feel beautiful. It’s all about creativity and communication.
Once you choose what you want, it becomes easier to choose who you want.
What about the Cost?
Going into you know this is an investment, just as any family or wedding photographer would be. Depending on what type of session and package you choose, you will have plenty of beautiful photos at the end. But there are other things that actually solve some of your other problems for up there.
There is a lingerie closet that you can browse before your shoot. This can save you the cost and hassle of shopping for lingerie and provide the other set of eyes that you need to make sure you look exactly how you want to for your photos.
We also buy your new lingerie (as long as the tags are still on) giving you a little back on your out-of-pocket investment. And we accept payment plans, allowing you to comfortably afford your beautiful new album.
