In the 10 years that we’ve had the privilege of working with our amazing clients, we’ve discovered that there are 7 lies that hold many women back from booking a boudoir session, even though they want to have this experience. We’ve chosen to uncover those lies and share the truth about each one. Every week we’re posting the truth about one of the lies and going live on Facebook to talk about it in-depth. For tonight, here is lie #4:

Lie #4: If I try to look sexy, I’ll end up looking stupid.

FACT: During your boudoir session, you will never have to “TRY” to look sexy. It is 100% your photographer’s job to coach you with detailed instruction on how to pose so that you’ll look sexy. Asif and Andrea know exactly how to work with your body type, your outfits and the studio lighting to set you up to look your sexiest. All you have to do is follow directions and hold the pose long enough for them to get the shot.

Our clients are not professional models. We don’t expect you to come in already knowing exactly how to look sexy in front of the camera. The truth is, looking sexy most certainly does not feel sexy. It’s hard work sometimes!

During your session you’ll get detailed coaching instructions, something like, “Stand nice and tall, kick your hips to one side, bend your relaxed knee even more, pick that foot’s heel up off the ground, slide that foot and knee across as if you have to pee really bad, then push your booty back, and raise your chest to the ceiling. Now, clear all of your hair off the nape of your neck with both your hands, squeeze your elbows together a little, look at the ceiling, take in a deep breath, close your eyes, and slowly sigh.” Click, click, click! And that’s how sexy is made!

The point is: don’t worry one bit about “trying to look sexy,” because it’s our job to bring out your sexy and we’re pros at this!
