Safety is paramount in a boudoir photoshoot. You should feel comfortable and secure with your photographer, especially since boudoir photography is intimate by nature.

To assess safety, start by researching the photographer’s professional background. Look for reviews and testimonials from previous clients to gauge their experiences.

A professional studio or a well-known location, clear communication from the photographer, and the option to bring a friend or family member to the session can all contribute to a safer environment.

I always meet every client before they come to the studio. I also offer a ‘Discovery Call’ so you can meet me and ask any questions before you even book.

Boudoir posing anxiety is real! Often clients feel they need to have all the looks and poses memorised before they enter the studio. This is not the case!

An experienced boudoir photographer will guide you through various poses, ensuring that you look natural and relaxed. They should be able to direct you in a way that flatters your body type and enhances your confidence.

During your initial consultation, discuss posing styles and look at samples of their work to see how they handle different body types and comfort levels.

Look for a photographer who offers guidance on selecting outfits that not only flatter you but also align with the mood and style of the shoot.

A good photographer will discuss wardrobe options with you in advance and help you choose pieces that fit the shoot’s aesthetic and your personal style. Your boudoir photographer uk should also be able to recommend places to purchase your wardrobe too!
