Boudoir Photography | Louisville Kentucky

Are you nervous about your boudoir session? Most people are, it is totally normal. Typically once we get started those nerves drift away and we start having a good time!

Here are some tips to help you relax during your shoot:

1. Play Music – Bring your favorite music to play during your session. This will help you to calm down and feel comfortable.

2. Deep Breathing – Practice deep breathing. This is a proven relaxation method. Breathe in deeply through your nose and exhale through your nose. Repeat until you feel better.

3. Take a Break – If you’re feeling overwhelmed, we can take a break from shooting and talk and relax before resuming the session.

4. Laugh It Off – If you’re feeling silly in front of the camera, laugh at yourself. Laughter is a great relaxation technique. It will help you loosen up.

5. Trust Me – I want you to feel like a Rockstar Goddess.  This might be your first time doing a boudoir portrait session, but it is not my first… in front of or behind the camera.  Trust that I am going to help you enjoy this experience.
