If you've ever thought "all of those women who go along for boudoir portraits have so much more confidence than me", and wondered how to get that confidence, the answer is very simple - you don't!

The Big Boudoir Myth

The idea that you have to be feeling confident to come and have a boudoir portrait session is a complete myth.

Most of our clients are feeling at best, under confident and, more likely, absolutely terrified!

They haven't achieved a level of body confidence that the rest of us just have to wish we had. Instead, they've taken a leap of faith.

It's Our Job to Make You Feel Confident

So it stands to reason that we don't expect you to turn up and shout "Hey, I'm here! Shall I take my clothes off now!"

Every part of our process is designed around understanding that you don't feel confident. We understand your fears - how could we not when every client has them?

The Most Common Worries

Here are some of the concerns we hear from our clients:

Your Fears Are Normal

When you're stepping outside of your comfort zone, your brain will tell you anything to keep you in it.  You have to push back sometimes, or you'll be held back from doing things you want to try.

So What Can You Do?

If your brain is see-sawing between wanting a boudoir portrait session, but not having the confidence to come and do one, here are a few things you can do, to tip the balance.

**ENTRIES NOW CLOSED**

A boudoir portrait session is a liberating experience that leaves you feeling amazing.
It's also an experience that lots of women think they just can't have, because, well, because of lots of individual reasons, that can mostly be summed up as:

If that's how you feel, well, that's completely normal.

But, I'd love the opportunity to change your perception because:
1. There's no such thing as being unphotogenic
2. Everyone can look great in photos - and there's no reason why you can't

There's nothing about you, how you look or how your body looks that means you can't have beautiful portraits. BUT...I do know how you feel. I put my own boudoir session off for 18 months because I felt the same...
but what about my cellulite?

my fat thighs?

the way my chest is heading south?

my stomach that can 'overhang' my knickers if I go for a skimpy style?
(I know, I sound like a real catch).
Much as I had seen other women come along and have a fabulous time, and beautiful portraits, I didn't believe I could do the same, because:

But, I did it. And of course I needn't have worried. Of course there's no reason I, ordinary though I am, couldn't look and feel extraordinary for once (and yes the makeover and the champagne helped a LOT!).

So, please don't think that we don't understand how insecure women feel about their bodies - we absolutely know and respect that everyone has their own hang ups, and this is one of the big reasons you always come along to see me for a chat before your session.

Here you'll see photos of women just like you - and be reassured that actually, you can and will have a fab time, and look and feel amazing.

And here's the thing - you'd like to, but there's a little voice saying "not you".  Literally telling you it's ok for everyone else but "not you".
I've heard it! I heard it for 18 months when I was putting off my own shoot!

So we come to the conundrum.

- I think you'll have a great time, and the confidence you'll get from doing this will be amazing.

- You're sceptical.

- I want to ask you for £199 for your chat, makeover and photoshoot.

- What? Now you're really sceptical. £199 for something you won't even love anyway?
