So, you’ve finally decided to book that boudoir session?! Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, embracing self-love, or just want to capture your beautiful self, choosing the right photographer is KEY. But wait, it’s more than just finding the right photographer and perfect lingerie! It’s all about trust and connection with your boudoir photographer. And, as a Minneapolis boudoir photographer who has had clients come back time and time again, I can wholeheartedly say that these two things make alllllll the difference in the world
Boudoir is vulnerable. In so many ways! Physically, emotionally, mentally, everything! You want someone who makes you feel on top of the world. Someone who prioritizes YOU, That’s where trust comes in. Check those reviews, stalk their socials (if you haven’t already), and most importantly, listen to your gut. Your privacy should be a TOP priority. Make sure they understand that and respect that!
Ever had a conversation with someone and felt an instant connection?! Whether friendly or romantic, those conversations where you’re like uhmmmm have I known you my whole life? Your boudoir photographer should feel like that! Not some stranger behind a lens, you’re scared to meet. Pay attention to how they talk to you, how they talk about clients, and how they talk about themselves. You want someone who respects YOU, others, and themselves! Do they genuinely love what they do?! Do you feel inspired when you see their work?! If your answer is YES, you’ve found yourself a keeper!!
Again, as a photographer, nothing means more than seeing your clients come back time and time again. It makes me SO incredibly happy, and honored, and just makes all that I do worth it times a million. This sweet client has booked 3 shoots with me, with another one to come up later this year. I mean, how amazing is that?! I want every single one of my clients to feel safe, heard, understood, and trust me with this incredibly empowering experience!
When it comes to boudoir photography, trust and connection with your boudoir photographer are KEY to an incredible experience! Listen to your instincts, and find someone you instantly connect with. You deserve something you are PROUD of. You deserve to be celebrated in a way that respects your desires. And, as always, I’m here for you! Can’t wait to see you in the studio!
