Let’s be real—booking a boudoir session can feel intimidating. You’re putting yourself out there in a whole new way, and that takes courage. If you’re feeling nervous, I want you to know this: you’re not alone.

Every woman who walks through my doors has had doubts. It’s completely normal. And the beautiful part? Every single one of them walks out feeling powerful, radiant, and proud of herself for doing it.

Here are some of the most common fears I hear—and why they don’t need to hold you back.

1. I’m not photogenic.

This is probably the #1 thing women say to me. But guess what? You don’t have to know how to pose, smile, or do a thing. That’s my job. I’ll guide you through every pose, every expression, every moment. You’ll be amazed how natural it feels—and how stunning you look.

2. I need to lose weight first.

You don’t need to change a single thing to deserve this experience. Boudoir isn’t about being a certain size—it’s about embracing yourself exactly as you are. I photograph real women with real bodies, and I promise, your beauty is already there. We’re just going to highlight it.

3. What if I feel awkward or embarrassed?

Feeling nervous is completely normal. But I’ve created a space that’s private, safe, and supportive from the moment you walk in. We’ll take our time, and you’ll never be rushed or judged. Most women are shocked by how quickly their nerves melt away and how much fun they have.

4. I have no idea what to wear.

I’ve got you covered. From your pre-session consultation to my curated client closet, I’ll help you choose pieces that make you feel confident, sexy, and you. Whether that’s lingerie, a bodysuit, a blazer, or nothing at all—it’s all about what feels right for you.

5. I’m worried about what people will think.

This session is for you—not for anyone else’s approval. It’s about reclaiming your confidence and celebrating who you are. Whether you keep your images private or display them proudly, you’ll know you did something bold, beautiful, and entirely for yourself.

You’re allowed to be nervous. You’re also allowed to do it anyway. Because on the other side of those fears? Confidence. Strength. Transformation.

This is more than a photo shoot. It’s a powerful reminder of who you are.

So many women have felt those exact same fears — and walked away completely changed. Read their stories and see why it was more than worth it.

Reach out to book your session. I’ll walk you through every step, and you’ll walk away with so much more than photos.
