Is it boudoir or a work out? Surely it can’t be that much work, right?
So, how much work is it? Lots!
It looks so simple doesn’t it? Essentially just a lot of standing/lying around?
It’s nothing like that.
Each pose is very precise, and some of them are much, much harder than you think.
Also, be prepared to spend a lot of time thinking “what’s that going to look like?”. You will genuinely have no feel for how amazing your images are going to look throughout most of your session.
During my session, Robin said to me “stick your neck out more”.
“Like a chicken?” I asked.
“Exactly” he told me.
Later I had “just bend that leg at the knee”.
“Like a frog?” I asked.
“Exactly”.
On top of this there was a lot of “arch your back as much as you can…more than that, arch more, breathe in”. I would be lying if I said I had no aches and pains at all the following day – it was akin to how I feel after going to the gym (I am sure I have a dim and distant memory of that somewhere).
On top of all that there’s all the balancing, in heels!
You especially need to be aware of this if you’re a Pinterest fan because poses that look effortless, well, they may not be. If you love old style pin up poses, I suggest you have a good practice at home first, because they can be seriously hard work!
Now, that doesn’t mean you’ll be pushed beyond your capabilities – if there’s anything that you’re not able to do of course you just tell us – there’s always another fabulous pose to move on to. But don’t come along on an empty stomach, thinking it’s all akin to a lovely spa day – it’s much more tiring, and you really don’t want to feel faint.
We’ve got an air con unit to cool you down, fans, and bottled water (plus a straw so that you don’t ruin your lipstick, although your stylist will be there for touch ups if needed).
We’re also willing to help you try out whatever poses you come up with – but if it’s this image, well, don’t start with “Except I can’t do a handstand”.
If it’s all starting to sound like way too much effort, don’t panic. Absolutely everything is planned around you – and there will be plenty of time to take a break if you need to.

Much love
