Lauren talks about her fears of not being photogenic for her Chicago Boudoir Photoshoot

Sometimes we have to break through our own limiting beliefs we have created about ourselves.

This was the case for Lauren who came into our boudoir photography studio with worries about not being photogenic. She wondered if she would like any of her pictures from her boudoir shoot since she usually does not like how she looked in pictures.

This is often a real concern for clients coming into my photography studio. They are usually very critical of themselves in photographs which leads them to not liking any picture taken of them! It can be so empowering to have a professional photoshoot experience where they end up loving how they look and feel for the first time in a long time!

Hear Lauren talk about her experience of overcoming her doubts and loving her boudoir pictures.

Lauren, tell us a little bit about why you booked a boudoir shoot.

Well I definitely needed a self-confidence boost and one of my best friends did a boudoir shoot through here and had an amazing experience. So she referred me. So I thought I'd give it a try. I read all the reviews and the pretty much across the board said that everyone had a good experience. It was much easier and more relaxed than they thought it would be. And I found that to be exactly true. I had a really good time. I liked so many more pictures than I thought I would. I thought I would have a really hard time looking at pictures of myself and judging myself, but I, I liked almost all of them.

Did you have any like fears before you came in?

Yes. I just, I never thought of myself as photogenic at all. And I just, I hate the way I look in pictures, but I loved the way I looked in these pictures I usually only like my hair up too, but I love how it looks today!
