Before and after images – we love them – they’re incredibly important for a number of reasons.
One of the things we hear a lot from clients is “…but I can’t look like that”. If you only ever see the ‘after’ images, and never the ‘befores’, then you’re looking at all of these highly confident, amazing women and it can be almost intimidating, knowing that you just don’t quite fit with these glamorous people!
Before and after images can help snap into focus the fact that yes, these women all look entirely fabulous and also, they’re regular people. People like me and you – just, you know, normal.
Great though it is to demonstrate this through images, it doesn’t get to the heart of how people feel. Right along with “I can’t look like that” is “I don’t have the confidence”. That’s what those women must have, right? They’re the ones who are body confident anyway. It’s not outside of their comfort zone to come along for boudoir portraits. Whereas you would be leaving your comfort zone well behind.
The reality is that it is very rare for our clients to be feeling confident, before they book with us. In fact, the opposite is true – on the whole they’d like to boost their confidence. They’re ignoring the fact their comfort zone is disappearing into the distance, and getting just about brave enough to do something positive for themselves.
Here’s what our clients tell us they want to do the session for, when they first get in touch.
As you can see, on the whole this is not a group of people who just can’t wait to get into that studio and have their photo taken (in fact, around 80% of our clients tell us they don’t like having their photo taken, and do not feel photogenic, before their portrait sessions).
The difference is, they’re willing to take a leap of faith, and let us help them fall in love with themselves again.
Big responsibility! Luckily, we know that everyone’s beautiful. Everyone’s photogenic. There is no question that everyone can have gorgeous images.
The great thing, for us, is how people feel after their portrait sessions. It is really important, knowing why our clients come to us, to be able to help them relax and enjoy their session as much as we can, and to ensure they’re thrilled with the results.
Here’s what our clients have to say after their portrait sessions.
