Why Self Portraits Make Me A Better Boudoir Photographer | Edmonton Boudoir Photography
Hey friendss
It’s me, Taylor, your local Edmonton boudoir photographer / fun boudoir aunt and today we’re chatting about why I think boudoir self portraits help me be a better boudoir photographer to my clients!
Let’s get into it
I truly believe taking my own boudoir photography self portraits plays a crucial role in making sure I’m giving my clients the best experience possible. In my personal opinion, I think every boudoir photographer should take self portraits and book their own boudoir photography sessions because it pulls you away from your comfort zone, which is behind the camera, not in front of it.
How can I expect my dream boudoir clients to step outside their comfort zone and trust me with this vulnerable experience if I’ve never experienced it myself? 🤔
These self portraits
were taken at a time I was not in a good head space and I didn’t feel good about my body but I scheduled a day for myself in my Edmonton boudoir studio anyways because I knew one day I would look back at these boudoir photos with MUCH kinder eyes.
Not even 3 months later, I’m looking at these photos and I can’t even believe I ever thought bad things about her. Now just imagine what it’ll feel like looking back at them in 10, 20 or even 30 years? I seriously can’t wait for that 🥹
Having those hard feelings and working through them is why I believe I can deliver an incredible experience to my boudoir clients, because I’ve BEEN THERE. I’ve said the bad things to myself and I took the photos ANYWAYS.
Now I’m so grateful
for all the boudoir self portraits I’ve taken over the last 5 years because each set is like a time capsule, taking me back to that moment in my life and reminding me that it’s never that serious and you WILL overcome whatever it is you’re going through in that moment.
I want your experience in my Edmonton boudoir studio to be an escape, I want you to feel like you’re walking through the doors to Narnia coming into my boudoir studio, like waking into a world where anything is possible and you can truly be whoever you want to be without judgment 🌈
So whenever you’re ready to take that leap, I’ll be here to catch you 🥰
