Like, really naked. There is a crazy woman behind me freaking out and saying something about gorgeous light and my neckbones…but I’m pretty sure this is gonna be awful. Like, how many good angles can there possibly be on a naked body? Don’t I look weird with my chin touching my body? That can’t be sexy….
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and felt dissatisfied with what you saw? Have you ever avoided taking photos of yourself because you didn’t think you looked good enough?
As a boudoir photographer, I often hear the same nervous hesitations from everyone before a photoshoot. “I’m not comfortable in my body.” “I don’t know how to pose.” “I don’t think I’ll look good.” But time and time again, I am able to show you a different perspective – one that is full of endless possibility and beauty.
It starts with trust. When you arrive for your boudoir photoshoot, you are often nervous and vulnerable. But I can assure you that I see you differently than you see yourself. I see the potential for not only stunning images that showcase your unique beauty, but to unleash the power within just waiting to come out.
And it’s true – boudoir photography is not just about creating sexy images or capturing a perfect pose. It’s about showing you the woman you are capable of being, and empowering you to take that confidence and run with it. It’s about highlighting the beauty in your curves and shadows, and seeing the potential that you may not see.
One of my favourite parts of the photoshoot is the moment you see the first image on the camera screen. your eyes widen in surprise and excitement, as you realise that the woman in the photo is YOU. It’s a powerful moment, and it sets the tone for the rest of the shoot.
After the shoot you will feel more confident and empowered than ever before. You will see yourself in a new light, and be ready to take on new challenges and opportunities.
Boudoir photography is not just about the images themselves, but about the experience. It’s about pushing past comfort zones, embracing vulnerability, and recognising the endless potential that lies within you. As a photographer, I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of that journey.
I encourage you to take the leap. Don’t let your self-doubt stop you from experiencing the beauty and empowerment that comes with it. Let’s Chat
This is all SO TRUE. So well written and incredibly accurate. Amazing blog! Thank you Tash!
