I did my first solo boudoir recently and I was unsure too but knowing that she did not want another photographer meant I had no choice. She is my daughter\'s best friend and said she could only be comfortable with me, double yikes to have my daughter see me shoot for the first time.
We started off with fully clothed body after a \'skinny girl\' margarita for the girls, none for me Music of her choice was playing (after Je T\'aime, that one was for me too). We were sure to tell her how wonderful she looked, which was true, she was so happy but a little nervous. She was excited and so obviously in love that we had a fun time, teasing until she relaxed, more so towards the end of course
We talked about posing etc as I was up and down the ladder, on the floor etc, soon she didn\'t care about the clothes too much and I made sure nothing that she did not want to be seen was in the images. Often I would tell her I just had to show her how beautiful she looked in an image, and let her see the back of camera, so her confidence came back and she forgot to be nervous
You can do it!
My daughter attended the bachelorette party this weekend and the future bride was happily showing off her untouched photos to her bridesmaids who loved the images, so maybe there is hope for me
I think a friend there helped a lot to make her comfortable.
