Choosing your boudoir photographer is a big decision – here’s how to make sure you’re happy with yours!
Having a boudoir session done is a vulnerable and exhilarating experience. When choosing a photographer to capture the beauty that is YOU, you want someone who will provide an exciting experience and someone who understands the level of vulnerability and trust that goes into a session. You need a photographer who is going to treat you like the queen you are! Here are our tips for choosing a boudoir photographer that is right for you!
1. What Does Their Experience Look Like?
Boudoir photography is in its own realm when it comes to the world of photography. You absolutely need someone who is specialized in boudoir specifically. Wedding + engagement photography is nice, but having someone who is experienced in the art of boudoir will be able to style you well, guide you into poses that will truly show off your favorite parts of yourself, and provide photos that will make your jaw drop. That’s why we recommend boudoir studios like ours, you will have a whole team of experienced photographers that know what they are doing when it comes to your pictures. At Naked Peach, we’ve served over 300 happy boudoir photography clients in Portland.
2. Make Sure They Offer The Works
You are paying for photos that will make you look and feel more confident than ever, and that is why you should look for a photographer that offers the works! We’re talking about a client closet full of stunning lingerie, professional hair and makeup for your shoot, a luxury experience the day of your session, a studio that you love the look of, and a variety of products for you to choose from after your boudoir photoshoot. Boudoir is a full experience, and your investment won’t feel worth it if you don’t treat it that way. Here at Naked Peach Boudoir, we offer ALL of this, because we know that this is the experience of a lifetime and you deserve to feel like royalty. You might only take boudoir photos once in your life, and you don’t want to skip any parts of the experience that make it special.
3. You Need a Photographer Who Makes You Feel Comfortable
As mentioned before, your boudoir photoshoot can be a vulnerable experience. You are putting yourself out there, and while we have seen incredible transformations from our clients in terms of their self-confidence, we understand that leading up to the shoot there can be a lot of nerves. You need a boudoir photographer who gets it! Someone who will respect you and put your comfort above all else. We are a team of female photographers who put our clients’ needs above anything else. You do not have to get naked or pose in ways that make you uncomfortable when you are with us at our studio, because we cater the experience to you. Of course, we are also pros at helping you get out of your comfort zone if you want us to push you a bit! It’s all about you and the experience you want to have.
4. Really Look At Their Work
There are a lot of boudoir photographers out there. We encourage you to really look at their portfolio to make sure that you like what they can do for you. Every studio has a unique style in how they pose and edit their photos. Look through their Instagram, Pinterest, website, and more to get a sense of their style. We also encourage you to look at the range of people they photograph. Make sure they are a photographer who is inclusive of plus size boudoir, clients of color, and boudoir clients of all genders – if they can make a diverse range of clients look good in their pictures, then you can trust that they will make you look good too!
5. What Are Their Reviews Like?
It’s easy for boudoir photographers to make themselves sound good, but they can’t control what other people have to say about their experience with them. We encourage you to look at their reviews and see what other people have to say. While every business has a handful of not-so-nice reviews, you will absolutely be able to tell if they have a trend of providing poor service or amazing service. At Naked Peach, we have over 150 5-star Google reviews and we take a lot of pride in that.
