| GLADSTONE BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER

Let’s address some of the misconceptions I have been hearing.

• My photos are going to be all over the internet.
• Boudoir photography is for young women.
• Why should I have photos taken if I don’t have anyone to give them to.
• I don’t know how to pose.
• I don’t look like those that are on your website.  

Here is what you need to know.

• 98% of my clients choose not to share their photos.  Confidentiality is crucial and I respect that. 
• Boudoir photography is for anyone over the age of 18.  Boudoir is for all women!
• You will be nervous to start with, that is normal.  I see a change in your confidence in the shoot.  A switch has been turned on and it dims the self-doubt, nerves, and I see a boost in your confidence.  A boudoir photo session will lay the foundation for personal growth. It is also a way of documenting a time in your life. 

• I’m going to get real here.  A little bit controversial.  I don’t think you should do the shoot solely because you want to give a significant other “a gift.”   To me, that is a by-product of having a boudoir session.  A boudoir session is so much more than that.  It is an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, document a stage of your life, a tool that helps build confidence, and well you get some badass images to look back on and say I am so glad I did that.

• I pose you from head to toe.  In my comprehensive boudoir preparation guide, I have posing videos that I encourage you to practice before the session.  So you will feel just that little bit more confident.

• Comparison is the thief of all joy.  If you want to do a boudoir photo session then do it.  If you need questions answered I will answer them.  You control the shoot and your comfort level on the day.
