"How do you make sure we get good photos?"
In short, I shoot a lot and don't use the unflattering ones. With a decade of experience in photography and modeling, I have been able to train and refine my skills to help produce flattering images.
While you're in the poses, it may feel odd and ridiculous; however, the images produced from that pose are ones you'll want to add to your luxury album. The only thing I can't fix with posing or editing is how you view yourself, but the whole goal of my photography career is to help move the self love and empowerment needle closer to acceptance. I also help prepare you headspace as best I can with a body neutrality prayer journal I created and client prep guides to help you feel confident and read to see the "good" in your captures.
"I’m scared! How will you help me through that?"
As a photographer, ensuring my clients feel comfortable and relaxed during their photoshoot is as crucial as capturing stunning images, especially with the niche of boudoir. Here’s how I make the experience enjoyable and stress-free:
Building Rapport Early: I like to get to know the clients before the shoot to get acquainted, easing initial nerves and setting a friendly tone. This pre-meeting consultation helps us connect, making the actual shoot day feel more like a reunion than a first encounter.
Maintaining a Relaxed Environment: During the session, I maintain a laid-back pace and provide clear, easy-to-follow directions. Demonstrating poses myself often brings a light-hearted element to the shoot, and playing the client's favorite music creates a familiar and comforting atmosphere.
Supportive Feedback and Breaks: Continuous encouragement and positive feedback help boost confidence, reducing self-consciousness. I regularly check in with clients and don’t hesitate to take breaks if they need a moment to relax.
By focusing on these elements, I aim to transform photography sessions into fun, comfortable experiences, ensuring clients leave not only with photos they love but also with happy memories of the shoot.
"But I don’t want to be oversexualized."
I don't want you to be oversexualized either; it's not my preferred style. I chose my motto "Sensual. Sacred. Seen" with great care, and in my branding I specifically avoid the word "sexy" if possible. As a woman who is all too familiar with being objectified, I strive to portray women as more than just sex objects. Having studied years of art history at university, I gather most of my inspiration from the classical female portraits and sculptures of the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and Romanticism eras in particular. (My packages reflect that inspiration as well.) I want women to feel and know that they are "fearfully and wonderfully made" works of art created by our perfect Creator. To me, "sexy" serves only one purpose; my goal is to empower women to embrace the beautiful and multifaceted aspects of their sexuality through celebrating their physical vessels.
