Done properly, the boudoir experience is one that takes you on a journey. It's an experience rather than a service. The process of having a boudoir session is intimate. It's important to be open and willing to go into a space where you are vulnerable, perhaps for the first time in years. A good photographer will provide you the space to do that, going along with you on your journey of self-discovery and the celebration of yourself, exactly as you are. .

It is imperative to have rapport with your photographer, and it should be established early on. You need to feel comfortable with them since you are trusting them by placing yourself in front of their lens. Ask questions, tell them your goals for the shoot, and talk about what you are looking for. If you are unsure of why you want to do a shoot it's ok. Your photographer should have the ability to ask thoughtful questions, and genuinely be interested in you and your story.

Finding a good photographer that can walk you through the process is essential to the success of your shoot. You should make your decision as to who to hire based on your experience with the photographer, not on price. Pay close attention to how they make you feel, and follow your intuition. If you listen closely, you'll be guided into making the right choice.
