I have been a Colorado Boudoir Photography long enough to have heard EVERY one of the BS excuses not to do a boudoir session. Trust me, you name it, I’ve heard it! So many times, women are comparing themselves to the women on my website, not realizing that they ARE those women on my website. Everyone you see is a REAL person just like you. And just like you, they have their insecurities too.
Yeah, they look amazing and sexy AF. And guess what, if you put your fears aside and come in to see me, you will see you are a bombshell too! TRUST ME! So here are the most common BS excuses to not do a boudoir session, and why I believe they are just that – BS excuses. YOU ARE WORTHY! You are valuable, special, brilliant, and beautiful. So, let’smash all these BS Excuses not to do a boudoir session!
BS Excuses Not To Do A Boudoir Session
#1 I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT FIRST
BULLSHIT. Says who?! Why?! EVERY person has weight, self-esteem, and body image issues. And if we let every single thought run our lives, we would get nowhere. Boudoir is about empowerment. And empowerment and confidence are for everyone. I have photographed every size and body type, and they are all equally stunning. Boudoir is a way to see yourself in a way you never have before, especially if you have only seen yourself through a scale. You are more than your weight. SO MUCH MORE. Ignore that number, and believe in yourself enough to do something for yourself.
#2 I’M NOT SEXY
Ok, so this one makes me laugh because I feel the same way. I am TERRIBLE in front of the camera and make the worst facial expressions. Who doesn’t?! Even those supermodels you are comparing yourself to make silly faces. NO ONE IS PERFECT! And that’s okay!!
I pose you from your hands to your toes. Literally. Even those supermodels get posed from head to toe!! I don’t just show up and click the camera. The lighting, the outfit, the pose, and your facial expression are all setup for YOU. I am a PRO at posing and that’s why I stand out in this industry. You are totally sexy, you just need me to walk you through it!
#3 I DON’T HAVE ANYONE TO GIVE SEXY PHOTOS TO
You never need anyone more than YOU to book your boudoir session!! That’s all you need…YOU.
Boudoir is a gift for yourself, always. I have clients come in only doing this for a gift for a special someone sometimes and come back to tell me that they discovered how much of a gift it was for themselves.
So is it the perfect gift for someone?! Uhhh, hello, YES!! Who wouldn’t want your boudoir album?! But more than anything, I want you to do this for YOU!
#4 I’M TOO OLD
Nope, never ever! Just like your weight on the scale, age is JUST a number! I have photographed women approaching their 70s. And each person leaves feeling like the BEST version of themselves. Your life is worth LIVING, and I mean really living, at any age. We only get one life, so make the MOST of it! If you have waited this long already to celebrate your body, why wait any longer?!
#5 I CAN’T AFFORD IT
I get this A LOT! And I get it! But, we can always afford things if we really want them. For some, maybe it’s a Starbucks in the morning, or keeping up with manicures, or beautiful tattoo sleeves, maybe you really like Kate Spade handbags.
There is a lot of value in hiring a professional photographer who specializes in boudoir. I get it, and it can be expensive, but it is totally worth it and totally affordable, and here is why: I offer payment plans.
Whaaaatttttt!? I know right?!
You can book a date a year from now if you want to and do pre-payments as low as you want. Or you can come to see me now and split up your payments so you have that special gift by next Christmas, etc. I want you to have this experience and if all up front is impossible, we work with you 100%.
Book Your Boudoir Session
Grab that lingerie, and book your session! Throw those BS excuses not to do a boudoir session out the window and do something entirely about you and for you!! I can’t wait to see you in the studio!!
