"I don't think I can do sexy" she said...
But she wanted to be sexy, she wanted to do a sexy boudoir photography session. She just didn’t think she had it in her to pose in sexy ways, or to make sexy faces. For some reason I just love it when clients tell us this before the session starts. I accept it as my personal challenge to prove they can be sexy. Every person has it in them to be sexy. At a biological level we are all sexual beings, some just need a bit of guidance, and that’s what we’re here for. Trust that we will carry you through the session and you will get exactly what you came for. Whether that be sexy and passionate photos, or soft and beautiful photos. I can’t stress enough not to worry about knowing how to pose or make facial expressions. It is our job to guide you into seductive poses and direct you from head to toe! We focus on working with everyday women, most of which have never been professionally photographed except for senior or wedding photos (and that’s a completely different ball game)! We will tell you exactly how to pose, how to hold your hands, how to achieve the perfect facial expressions… all while making it look completely natural and effortless! After the session almost all of our clients say they were nervous before we started, and the reoccurring theme to the cause of the nerves is almost always "I didn't think I would know how to pose". And almost every single one of them said their nervousness melted away immediately after starting their session. Here's what was said about our most recent session:
"I was truly worried about feeling comfortable, being "sexy", and posing in the nude. Jen and Max made me feel comfortable from the second I walked into the door, to when I left. They are both very professional, walked me through every pose, and made it seem almost normal that I was posing in lingerie on a chair or bed, as if it was an everyday thing."
I would like to know how many women would love to do a boudoir session more than anything, but just feel like they wouldn’t do well and don’t have enough confidence to just bite the bullet and call me. I’d be willing to bet that number is pretty high. If you are one of those ladies that have been following our work for a while now and just haven’t called yet, I’m talking directly to you right now. You have nothing to fear. I promise you. If you are afraid that you will not like what you see, I can promise you will fall in love with yourself in ways that you didn’t know were possible. You will see yourself in a new light. It’s not that we’re going to transform you completely into someone you’re not, you will still very much be you. It’s just that you will see the best version of you, a fully comfortable in your skin and sensual you.
If you really want to do a boudoir session, but aren’t sure that it’s for you, do me a favor... call me. Let me know what’s going on in your head, be straight forward and completely honest with how you feel. Even if you don’t know what to say, just call and say, “Hey Jen, I want to do a boudoir session but I’m crazy nervous”. There will be no regrets in making that call, but you may regret passing up the opportunity to do a session.
