If you’ve ever said one of these things to yourself, this post is for you.
1. “I want to lose weight first.”
Truth: Most people say this. The problem is, the goalpost isn’t stationary.
Reframe: Boudoir isn’t a reward for changing your body, it’s a celebration of where you are right now. You’re not booking a shoot for the body you wish you had, you’re honoring the one that’s carried you this far.
2. “I’m too old for this.”
Truth: You’re not too old, you’re seasoned, powerful, and full of stories worth capturing.
Reframe: Confidence doesn’t expire. Sexy doesn’t belong to a number.
3. “I’m awkward in front of the camera.”
Truth: You won’t be expected to know what to do, that’s our job.
Reframe: We guide you through every pose, every moment. Most clients show up nervous and leave saying, “That was way more fun than I expected!”
4. “I’m not photogenic.”
Truth: You’ve just never had someone photograph you through a lens of love.
Reframe: Being photogenic isn’t about angles or filters, it’s about trust, lighting, and how you’re made to feel. That’s what we create in our studio.
5. “I could never share these photos.”
Truth: You don’t have to.
Reframe: Your photos are private by default. You choose what’s shared (if anything), and we respect every boundary. The experience is for you, no one else.
6. “This feels selfish or indulgent.”
Truth: Doing something for yourself doesn’t take away from anyone else.
Reframe: In fact, showing up confidently in your own life often uplifts the people around you. You deserve to take up space, feel good in your skin, and be celebrated.
7. “My partner wouldn’t understand.”
Truth: Many partners are surprised at how meaningful these experiences are, for you and/or for your relationship.
Reframe: We’re happy to help explain the experience, and some clients even invite their partner to a viewing session. In many cases, they end up booking their own shoot or a couples session next.
8. “What if I don’t like how I look in the photos?”
Truth: This is a totally valid fear.
Reframe: We don’t show you photos that aren’t beautiful. And we don’t stop until you see what we see — the spark, the strength, the softness, the fire. We promise you’ll find something that makes you say, “Damn. That’s me?”
If even one of these fears sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Every person who’s walked through our studio doors has carried something — fear, doubt, grief, insecurity. And every single one has walked out feeling a little taller, a little bolder, a little more themself.
You don’t have to wait until you feel “ready.” You’re ready now. And we’re here for you when you are.
