Let me first start out by saying… I may NOT be the right Boudoir Photographer for you! And that is completely OKAY! It is more important to me that you find the right Boudoir professional for YOU, so you can have the most amazing experience.
Most people have never done anything like this before and have no idea what they should be asking and how to find the right Boudoir Photographer for them. Keep reading for my tips and considerations to help you in your search.
Scroll down to read my top tips for finding the right Boudoir Photographer...
1. Find a Photographer Who Specializes in Boudoir
Finding a photographer who specializes exclusively in Boudoir is important. Not every photographer has the talent or the eye for flattering the beautiful curves of a woman. It truly is a specialty that takes a specific skill set with a non-judgmental and calming personality. I’ve seen so many photographers try to offer Boudoir along with weddings or other genres they shoot, only to find out Boudoir really isn't their specialty! One way to tell if someone specializes in Boudoir is they do not show any other type of artwork or galleries on their website or landing page. Their site will be dedicated completely to Boudoir.
2. Choose a Photographer You Are Completely Comfortable With
This is the most important thing you should consider when choosing a Boudoir professional! Being comfortable with your photographer will make your Boudoir experience exciting and empowering, rather than stressful and nerve wracking. If you are not comfortable with your photographer, it WILL show in your images. Nervousness shows up in your poses, facial expressions and eyes. No amount of photo editing can get rid of that. The best thing to do is to meet with your photographer for an in-person consultation before your shoot. This is a great opportunity to get all of your questions answered, see samples of their products (albums, wall art, etc.), get a tour of the studio, and see if you feel comfortable with them. Once all those boxes are checked, they are the best fit for you!
3. Find a Photographer Whose Values Align With Yours
During your consultation you will be able to get to know the photographer more and be able to determine if your values align. For example, my values as a photographer are the following:
- Creating a Custom Experience for Each Client
- Delivering the Highest Quality Photography & Products
- Limited Number of Shoots So My Clients Have Complete Access to Me
- Being an Expert in My Field
- Attention to Detail & Taking My Time
- Clear & Professional Communication
- Being Available as an Expert & Leader to Help My Clients Through Every Step of Their Experience
- NO Sales Pressuring or Bait & Switch Sales Techniques
- Dedication to Serving My Clients
Now you may not value these things and that’s fine. I’m probably not the photographer for you. But when looking for the right Boudoir Photographer for you, make sure you do find someone who has values and business principles that align with yours and what you are looking for.
For a quick wrap up:
