I’ve been pretty surprised by some of the misconceptions about boudoir photography that I’ve been presented since starting my business. Here are some of the top myths about boudoir portraits that I have debunked for you!

Yes, it takes some guts to step outside of your comfort zone and pose with little clothing in front of a woman that you may not know so well; try to leave your insecurities and fears at the door and I promise my team and I will take care of you.

The first thing that we do is schedule your in-person pre-session consultation here at my studio in Wilmington, NC. This is simply a 30-minute meeting so that we can meet in person (that helps with the nerves!), you can see the studio space and touch and feel sample products like albums and wall art, and the best part…wardrobe planning!

One of the most important aspects of a boudoir photo shoot is the “model release form.” At least, that’s what I call mine. Unfortunately, if you choose to give “full release” of your images via this form, I can’t promise that you will become an insta-model for Victoria’s Secret. 😉 What it does tell me is how private you want your purchased images to stay.

There are SO many different things you can wear for your boudoir shoot – it doesn’t have to be racy lingerie, either. Here’s a round up of some categories I like to suggest, as well as some pieces that I have in my Client Wardrobe!

Sure, the prints, album, or wall art makes an amazing gift for a partner or someone you love. But the real reason you should choose to invest in this experience is for what it will do for you personally. You see, boudoir sessions are not about getting “sexy pictures” taken so that you can prove to everyone else how beautiful you are.
