Busting Excuses
Busting Excuses
Whenever we do something new, it can inevitably bring up our fears. In regards to doing a Boudoir session, alot of the time, it brings up fears about our appearance and it particular our bodies. When we get nervous, we make excuses to try and avoid feeling uncomfortable. We make excuses to not love ourselves, not to step out of our comfort zones and into something new. Life can be busy and it’s very easy to get pulled off into different directions. Then of course the self talk can start once we decide to do something a little scary and out of our normal everyday routine. Self talk can sound like ‘I’ll wait to do this until I’ve lost the weight’ or ‘I have other things that are more important to focus on right now’ Or ‘I don’t deserve to spend money on myself.’ Stepping into this amazing experience is a big step forward in self love and acceptance. Doing something new can also build self confidence and trust. So let’s talk about some of these excuses……
I don’t have enough time for me!
It’s important as women, that can put aside some time for ourselves, whether it’s daily or a few times each week. We are wired to do for others and not ourselves. We go, go , go without stopping and often at the detriment of ourselves and our mental health. Taking time for yourself, can look like, going for walk outside, preferably in nature. It could be meeting a friend for coffee, taking a yoga a class or reading your favorite book.
At a Boudoir session you have the WHOLE day just for you!! Where the focus is on making you feel like a goddess. You just have to show up and we will do the rest!! From your hair and makeup, to styling your outfits, to posing you in the most flattering way for YOU!
2. I’m not at my perfect weight and I need to lose 10lbs! Also I don’t look like a model!!
ALL of our clients are regular women and NOT professional models. They are all shapes, sizes and ages. As far as the desire to lose weight, hey I get it, we are pressured to be perfect and to fit into society’s mold! I have these thoughts myself. You certainly don’t need to lose weight to do a boudoir shoot. Through choosing the right outifts for your body type, posing to capture your best angles and a little bit of photoshop, we help you with all of that!
3. I am not sexy or sensual and most of time I don’t wear makeup or sexy lingerie! So this must not be for me!!
How WRONG this is!! This is WHY you need to experience a boudoir session!! None of our clients knew how to be ‘sexy’, each client is directed in how to pose, from head to toe!! They are shocked when they see their images for the first time and ask ‘ is that really me?’. Most women have never had a day, where they are treated like a model and are shocked when they see the results and how amazing they look. A boudoir shoot can put a hop and skip in your step and new found confidence. This is what our clients tell us!!
Also if you are not a ‘lacy lingerie’ girl, no worries you can wear something very simple, like a cotton body suit, a loose T-Shirt or a simple bra and panty set. We will help guide in wardrobe choices to match your personal style!
4. A boudoir shoot is an investment and I can’t do it right now!
Yes, a boudoir session is an investment, but it is also an investment in YOU! You are choosing yourself and your own mental well being, which in the end makes you more productive overall. We do offer Interest free payment plans either Pre or Post photoshoot up to 12 months. In order to book there is a Session fee, which also holds your date and gets you on our calendar . Then you pay separately for your products, such as albums, prints and digitals, which can split into payments and spread out, so that makes it’s accessible.
