I hear ya – you really want to get boudoir portraits taken, especially if you have a special event coming up, but you feel like you are just “too pale” at the moment.

It can be frustrating to try to take pictures of yourself and not like the results. You follow all the photographers “tips and tricks” for taking good photos, but they just don’t turn out like the ones of their clients they share. Here’s why.

One of the most common things I hear on my phone consultations with women who are interested in booking a shoot is, “I’ve been wanting to do this but I would like to lose/gain some more weight first.” If you wait until you feel perfect, you may be waiting forever!

I heard a story from a friend the other day – her co-worker had wanted boudoir photos taken and she found a photographer in her town that “didn’t cost an arm and a leg.” So she hired them.

You’ll see that many of my clients are wearing gorgeous high heels in their images. If you think that it’s because these women wear shoes like this regularly, you’re wrong!

The last thing you want going into a professional photo session is to not feel like you have sexy, flattering hair. This is why I provide professional hair styling with every one of my boudoir portrait experiences.
