Look, I know the thought of a Boudoir Experience can be scary and overwhelming, and you might be thinking “awww fuck, what if yada yada yada”…

It’s okay if you are low key spiraling, I’m here to catch you.

Here are 10 things your boudoir photographer (that’s me, hi) truly, deeply, and unapologetically does not give a flying fuck about:

1. Whether you shaved your legs.

Or your vag. Or your big toe.
I’m not zooming in to judge your stubble. This is boudoir, not a Gillette commercial.

2. Your cellulite/stretch marks/rolls/hip dips/insert body thing here.

You’re a human with skin. Groundbreaking. No matter what, I’m here to photograph you in your beautiful glory, not change every little thing about you so you fit into the societal mold.

3. If you think you’re awkward or “not photogenic.”

Congrats, you’re in great company, literally everyone says this and then proceeds to slay the fudge out of their shoot. Also, “photogenic” or “non-photogenic” doesn’t exist, it’s a fucking myth.

4. That your lingerie is from Target.
Hot tip: It’s not the price tag that makes you sexy. Don’t be afraid to bring that simple bodysuit that is sitting in the back of your closet either.

5. Your nerves.
Of course you’re nervous. You’re half naked in front of a stranger holding a camera. This is not weird – it’s expected. I know how to make it feel like a damn therapy session.

6. Your surprise zit.
I have Photoshop. I also have eyes, and I promise I didn’t even notice it until you pointed it out 37 times.

7. Your “not at goal weight” body.
I will scream this at you until you believe it.
You do NOT need to shrink to deserve beautiful photos. You already exist – let’s celebrate that.

8. If you are on your period.
We all bleed down here. (It reference… hehe). Shove a tampon in, or a diva cup, and stop giving a shit about any “bloat” you think you see. I promise you, it doesn’t matter in you final photos, because I know WTF I’m doing 😉

9. Your lack of makeup skills.
You’re not even supposed to show up with makeup on. My team will do the magic. You just sip your coffee and relax, we handle literally everything for you.

10. If you sweat easily.
Girl, same. But don’t worry, we ALWAYS keep it cold in the studio, and even if you have the nervous sweats, I’ve got baby wipes and paper towels for that shit, don’t worry, sweat is normal especially when you’re nervous!

Here’s the truth:
I don’t give a shit. We are all human, we all sweat, leak, bleed, cry, shake and get nervous because we think we are the only ones in the world that do these things.

Now are you ready to stop caring about all this shit and feel free for once? Let’s do this babe.

And also, go reread this next time your inner critic pipes up,
and tell her to take several m’ fuckin seats.
