Are boudoir shoot nerves making you second-guess your photo session? You’re definitely not alone! Believe it or not, 99.9% of clients experience those butterflies before stepping in front of the camera — and it's completely norm al. Even seasoned performers and fitness pros aren't immune to the nerves when it comes to boudoir photography.
Why the Nerves Are Normal
It doesn't matter whether you're a bodybuilder used to showcasing your physique on stage or someone who’s faced TV cameras and bright lights — boudoir photography feels different. There’s a unique vulnerability in baring not just your body but your confidence too.
Self-doubt often plays a big role. One client was genuinely shocked when she saw her images, thinking they looked like they belonged to a supermodel rather than herself. But here's the best part: those nerves? They vanish the moment the session starts. As soon as you see yourself through a new, empowering lens, that transformation is pure magic. In fact, the majority of my clients say that by the time they chat with me a little, sit for hair and makeup and chat with them, they are ready to go and nerves are all but gone. If they aren't, by the time I show the first image on the screen of my camera to them, they are ready to go with a new found confidence and light!
Tips to Calm Pre-Shoot Jitters
If you're feeling anxious before your boudoir shoot, try these strategies to ease the nerves:
🍷 Sip a Glass of Wine: Enjoy a glass (or two!) to help you relax and set the mood. However, if you are prone to redness when you drink, this isn't a good idea. Please avoid the alcohol if it makes you hot and red
👯 Bring a Friend: Having a supportive buddy by your side can do wonders for your confidence. At Embrace Boudoir, we only allow girlfriends to join you for your session. We find that men in the studio changes the entire dynamic of the session and no matter how comfortable you think you are with said man, your session will reflect the uncomfortableness.
💆 Find Your Ritual: Whether it’s listening to your favorite playlist, chatting non-stop, or taking a few moments of quiet reflection, do what makes you feel centered.
The Magic Awaits
Feeling nervous before a boudoir shoot is a shared experience — one that countless clients have faced and overcome. The true magic happens when you step in front of the camera and let go of the anxiety, replacing it with unstoppable confidence and radiant energy.
