Mindset Shifts For Boudoir

Have you ever found yourself admiring the courage of those who step in front of the camera for a boudoir session, while secretly feeling apprehensive about doing it yourself? It's a common thought pattern, one that often underestimates the journey of self-discovery and empowerment that awaits. As someone who has navigated the ebbs and flows of boudoir photography for over a decade, I understand those initial fears all too well. But let me tell you, the shift from fear to trust is where the magic truly happens.  

THOUGHT:  "The ladies who do boudoir are so brave. I’m too scared to do that."

SHIFT:

It’s so easy to see others as brave and think that there is zero fear involved.  The truth is, the ones who choose boudoir decide to overcome their fears and say YES to themselves. They will still get all the nervous feelings leading up to their session,, but they lead with curiosity and TRUST that they will LOVE their experience.   Clients are treated with love and care from the moment they book their session because I am not a stranger to the cyclical thought process of fears and nerves when it comes to boudoir. 

With 12 years in the boudoir industry, I ensure you'll have a wonderful experience. I have the expertise and capacity to hold space for you through vulnerabilities, guiding you so that you are fully prepared for your session amidst your busy life.

THOUGHT:  "They look so confident. I wish I had that."

SHIFT:

No one is 100% confident in their bodies. In fact, no one comes to me with confidence; they come to me to FEEL it! Our bodies are impermanent and always changing. Those who step in front of the camera haven't changed their bodies just for the session; they change their mindset and celebrate liking it enough to SEE it as neutral. Meaning... it's neither good nor bad; it just is. Every single body is WORTHY of being documented.  You are worthy of being documented.

Approaching this experience with a curious mind, you'll end up saying things like, "HOLY HELL... look at that photo of my (insert body part)! I didn't know it could look like that!!", or "Wow, I am a sensual goddess," or "LOOK AT ME!!! I'm gonna cry. I'm so gorgeous!" I've heard THE BEST REACTIONS!!!

Boudoir Portraits will make you realize that you are more beautiful than you ever thought you were.

THOUGHT: "I'll do one when I feel READY."

TRUTH: 

NO ONE IS EVER FULLY READY FOR BOUDOIR!!! Even the ladies who actually book. They all have reservations, fears, things they'd like to change before they come in. Instead of continuously waiting and wishing, they start shifting their perspective and commit by booking and investing. They commit to the experience because they know they will get SO MUCH out of it. So much more than quick confidence hits of feeling SEXY. The ladies who invest in boudoir are ready to claim LONGEVITY in their personal empowerment, and it ends up being a BREAKTHROUGH.

So, if you've ever caught yourself longing for the confidence of those who embrace boudoir, know this: confidence isn't a prerequisite; it's a destination. Every body, every journey, is worthy of celebration and documentation. It's not about waiting until you feel ready; it's about taking that leap, investing in yourself, and embracing the transformation that follows. Boudoir is about claiming your power, your beauty, and your worth. 

Are you ready for a photo journey of self-discovery and empowerment? Trust me, the breakthrough awaits.
