By now I'm sure you've noticed that I'm always absolutely thrilled when clients do boudoir shoots just for themselves. It's empowering, confidence building and celebrating who you are right now, not next week, but now!
Miss C brought in a few lingerie sets which always look amazing in photos and a cropped top paired with cute undies. Ladies you can bring whatever makes you feel beautiful and it doesn't necessarily have to be lingerie. Literally anything works with the right pose and attitude!
I love to finish the shoot with white sheets or a silky blouse. This will capture the classically elegant and timeless boudoir photos that are also most popular with my clients.
You decide what you want to show, you can cover up as much as you like or show it all. This is about you and your authentic personality, not about being someone you aren’t.
"I have worked with a few photographers now over the years and this is one of my better experiences. Alomia is so welcoming, so great with direction and really helped me get just the right pose for my photos. I would love to work with her again."
- Miss C
48h after the shoot, upon delivery of a little sneak peek I always ask my clients to fill out my post-shoot survey. The feedback helps me to not only improve myself as a photographer, but also make sure that my lovely customers are 100% satisfied with their sessions!
Here is what Miss C had to say:
What made you decide to book your boudoir session with ALOMIA instead of another studio?
I liked your work, your photos are beautiful so I thought I’d give you a try.
How were you feeling before your shoot? Any thoughts going through your mind?
I’m always a little nervous before meeting a new photographer but you quickly put me at ease.
What was your favourite thing about your photo shoot experience?
How fun you were and I love the direction you give.
What would you tell other ladies who are considering doing a boudoir shoot?
DO IT, i think every woman should experience a boudoir shoot and see how beautiful they are.
What is the best memory from your photo shoot day?
How much we connected during our shoot. It was all around a great time and you seem to really understand exactly what I was going for.
Boudoir photography is about getting to know yourself and your body. It's about understanding the power of your sexuality as you make the realization that you shouldn't be afraid to express yourself in any way that you feel. Breaking the chains of conformity by going against presumed expectations placed on you by what society deems taboo is extremely rewarding and empowering! It's important to follow your desires and develop an individualistic approach to all things important to you.
Most women who book a shoot with me feel nervous, unprepared, scared or just plain not ready for many reasons. But you know what... they did it because they knew deep down they deserved this, and in some ways needed it. And what I hear over and over is that as soon as they stepped into my studio all the worries disappear, knowing it will be an awesome day for them. A new chapter of confidence and celebrating who they are right now, not next week but now!
My job is to make sure you look your best in all of your photos. So just be yourself and follow my directions while we are shooting and I will capture some truly beautiful moments!
