How to Find the Right Boudoir Empowerment Photographer

(Hint: It’s All About You)

Hey, gorgeous! 💖 So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and book a boudoir session to celebrate yourself (woohoo!! 🎉). But wait… how do you pick the right boudoir photographer? There are a lot of amazing photographers out there, but choosing the one who gets you and makes you feel completely at ease is key to having the most empowering, fun, and confidence boosting experience possible! Ready for some tips on how to find the right boudoir photographer? Let’s dive in!

1. Vibe Check:

Does Their Style Match Your Vision?

The first step in choosing the right boudoir photographer is to check out their style! Boudoir photography can range from moody and dramatic to light and playful, so you want to make sure their aesthetic matches what you’re imagining.

Look through their portfolio and pay attention to the mood, colours, and types of poses they feature. Are the photos sultry, playful, or full of empowerment? Do you feel like their photos make the women (or men!) in them feel strong, confident, and like the absolute queens they are? 👑

If their work speaks to your soul and makes you feel excited about seeing yourself in their style, that’s a huge sign you’ve found the right fit! 💕

2. Do They Make You Feel Comfortable?

Okay, let’s be real: boudoir can feel intimidating at first! But it’s your photographer’s job to make you feel safe, comfortable, and confident from the second you book your session to the moment you walk out the door with your stunning photos.

Look for a photographer who values your comfort and makes you feel at ease. Do they take the time to chat with you about your concerns, your goals, and how they’ll help you feel confident? A boudoir photographer who emphasises empowerment and self-love will make sure you feel like a total rockstar from start to finish. ✨

Bonus: If they have reviews or testimonials from past clients talking about how amazing they felt during their shoot, you know you’re on the right track!

3. Are They Body Positive and Inclusive?

Boudoir photography is for everyone! No matter your size, shape, age, or background. A great boudoir photographer will celebrate all bodies and make sure you feel gorgeous, no matter what you look like.

Look for a photographer who embraces body positivity and inclusivity. Do they show a variety of body types in their work? Do they use language that promotes self love and acceptance? A photographer who celebrates all forms of beauty is going to be your best bet for a truly empowering experience. 💖

4. How Do They Approach Posing?

Okay, I get it! Posing might sound a little intimidating at first. “Am I going to look awkward?” you might wonder. But don’t worry! A great boudoir photographer will make sure you look incredible, even if you’ve never modelled before. But how can you assess this before you book? Let me tell you!

Start by checking out the photographer’s portfolio to see how they pose their clients. Do the people in their photos look natural, relaxed, and confident? Or do they look stiff and uncomfortable? A photographer who’s great at posing will know how to direct you in a way that feels authentic to you.

Look for signs of variety in their portfolio. Are the poses diverse, flattering, and reflective of different body types, moods, and personalities? This tells you that the photographer is experienced in making everyone feel comfortable and look amazing.

You want a photographer who guides you, whether it’s with subtle direction or full on coaching to get the best angle. If their photos make you feel like you could be anyone in those stunning shots, chances are, they’ll know how to make you feel like a star too! 🌟

5. What’s Their Personality Like?

This one is key, my friend! You’re going to be spending a good chunk of time with your photographer, so it’s super important that their personality clicks with yours. You want someone who makes you feel like you’re hanging out with a friend (a friend who knows how to make you look amazing in photos, that is!).

When you meet with your photographer (or chat with them online), do they make you feel comfortable and excited? Do you feel supported, uplifted, and ready to take on the world? If your photographer’s energy is positive, bubbly, and empowering, that’s a sign you’re going to have an incredible session!

6. Do They Offer an Empowering Experience, Not Just Photos?

Boudoir photography is about so much more than just snapping pretty pictures. It’s about helping you feel empowered, fierce, and like the absolute queen that you are. 💅

Look for a photographer who provides an entire experience not just a photoshoot. Do they talk to you about the transformative power of boudoir? Do they give you tips on how to prepare, what outfits to bring, and how to get into the right headspace? The best boudoir photographers focus on creating an empowering experience that leaves you feeling better about yourself and more in love with your body than you ever have before.

7. Trust Your Gut!

At the end of the day, the most important thing is to trust your gut. Does this photographer make you feel good? Do you feel confident in their ability to make you look amazing? If the answer is yes, you’ve found your perfect match!

Your boudoir experience should leave you feeling empowered, sexy, and like a total goddess! and the right photographer will help you achieve all of that!
