PREPARE
So you’ve booked your boudoir session, and you’re super excited! The dust from the initial excitement settles, and now the nerves are starting to poke their nasty little heads up.
Those little reasons why you kept putting this off keep getting more and more clear, and you can’t help but worry “Is this the right time? Am I ready?” The emotions are starting to get the better of you… and guess what? That’s totally normal! And there are ways to work through it, so you can still get the most of out of your empowering experience.
STEP 1:
KNOW THAT IT’S NORMAL
I often like to refer to the boudoir experience like JUMPING out of a airplane: the concept is way more terrifying than the actual experience. You’re standing at the edge of the plane door, and you’re thinking “why the HELL am I doing this!?” but then you take the leap of faith (booking your session), and for a few seconds you’re free falling, and it’s terrifying really terrifying. But then the parachute catches you, and it’s not nearly as scary: fuck it’s even fun! But heeeey guess what, I’m your PARACHUTE! I will be with you 100% of your session. Do know that it’s fully normal to be a little nervous - but nerves and excitement are psychologically the same feeling. Try flipping the script and leaning into the excitement, and all the positive things that this will bring you. I can PROMISE you you'll leave my studio feeling beyond great about your self!
STEP 2:
SET AN INTENTION
What do you want this experience to do for you? Boudoir is the most powerful experience when you are able to focus on an intention, and really bring that into your session. You could have multiple intentions, and your intention could even be just as simple as “doing this thing that terrifies me” Whatever works best for you!
STEP 3: BREATHE OR MEDITATE
Still feeling a tad nervous? Take a deep breath, hold it, let it out, and repeat. If you meditate, try meditating on your affirmations to invite those more deeply into your subconscious.
