"Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment, it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for" -Brene Brown
Before each session begins, I sit down with my client for "the talk" as I call it. No, not birds and bees obviously! We talk about posing. I explain how posing can manipulate and contort the body for the most pleasing effects. I also tell my client that it can be strenuous and awkward, but if she can trust me the results will be phenomenal.
It might feel like this though...
Boudoir posing is the single most important part of a shoot. If the pose is lacking then there is very little left to fill the void. Posing can give you more curves, or seamlessly reduce them. Still images can't talk, they can only tell a story through body language. Our photographers know hundreds of poses for every body type imaginable.
What message do you want to send?
Let's face it, not all of my parts stand and salute attention anymore. My husband doesn't mind and I really wanted to give him the best view. Once I realized that wearing a sheer bra for my shoot could solve my gravity problems I was all in!
Since then clients have brought in sheer items, not really sure if they were appropriate for a boudoir session. I'm letting everyone out there know, YES! Sheer looks are great for boudoir!
Don't worry about being too exposed with your photographer. Our female staff members will keep you comfortable and guided while exuding professionalism. It's just apart of our job!
Bring on the parade of sheer bras, bustiers, and body suits!
