How I Pose You Like a Boudoir Pro

As a dedicated and experienced boudoir photographer in Wausau, Wisconsin, my passion is helping clients discover their natural beauty, confidence, and relaxation during their boudoir sessions.

Almost all of my clients said they chose me as their boudoir photographer because of how natural and relaxed all of my clients looked.

In this blog post, I'd like to take you behind the scenes and show you the journey that begins with careful planning, creates a safe and comfortable space, and empowers clients to pose like a pro.

1. Planning for Confidence:

The boudoir experience starts long before the actual session. We kick things off with a thorough planning process. During consultations, we discuss your vision, comfort level, and style preferences. This planning stage is essential to ensure you come into your session feeling confident and at ease. I want you to feel confident with me as your photographer and feel prepared for your session. We'll go over wardrobe choices, poses you're comfortable with, and any ideas you have in mind. The more we plan, the more confident you'll feel and that shines in your photos!

2. Creating a Safe and Supportive Space:

Once you arrive for your boudoir session, creating a safe and comfortable space is my top priority. I understand that stepping in front of the camera in lingerie or intimate attire can be a vulnerable experience. That's why I aim to make you feel safe, relaxed, and respected. From the moment you walk in, you'll find a space that's judgment-free, where you can be yourself without hesitation. This safe space is another important piece of how I am able to capture my clients looking relaxed and natural!

3. Guided Posing:

Everyone worries about how to pose. With every session I hear some version of “I am really awkward in front of the camera.” “I don’t feel confident in my skin.” “I am really excited, but really nervous.” During the session, you don't need to worry about knowing how to pose. My expertise in boudoir photography means I have a keen eye for positioning you in ways that emphasize your best features. I show you every pose before I ask you to do it. I'll provide gentle guidance and clear instructions to help you achieve each pose. Whether it's your facial expressions, body positioning, or hand placement, I'll be there every step of the way, ensuring you look and feel your best.

4. Encouragement and Feedback:

Throughout the session, you can expect continuous encouragement and feedback. I'll offer positive reinforcement to boost your confidence and help you relax. We'll discuss what's working and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring you're comfortable and satisfied with the direction of the shoot. I love showing my clients the back of my camera so they can see in real time how amazing they are doing!

My goal as a boudoir photographer is to capture your natural beauty, essence, and individuality. I believe that the most beautiful photos reflect who you truly are, so I encourage you to relax and be yourself. Your genuine personality and unique beauty will shine through in the final images.

The Result: Beautiful, Natural, and Relaxed Photos:

By the end of your boudoir session, you'll not only have a collection of stunning photographs but also an empowering experience that leaves you feeling beautiful, confident, and relaxed. I'm here to guide you through every step, ensuring that you pose like a pro and embrace your natural beauty. The journey is not just about the pictures; it's about discovering the incredible strength, confidence, and beauty that have always been within you.

You made me look beautiful and hit all the good angles while also making me look sexy! I loved how comfortable you made me feel doing something so out of my comfort zone!...Also, the retroview finder is THE COOLEST thing ever!! It’s such a fun sexy way to showcase the photos for your spouse and they aren’t just sitting out in the open if people were to see it sitting there.
