What if I’m nervous and awkward about posing?

Feeling nervous and awkward is totally normal—most people aren’t used to being in front of the camera, especially in such an intimate setting! But don’t worry—I will be there to guide you every step of the way. The Chicago Boudoir Studio specializes in awkward people and those who have never done a boudoir photoshoot before. We have women in the boudoir studio all the time who say that they feel awkward in front of the camera, but then end up raving about their photos. We got you!


What if there are parts of my body that I don’t like very much? What if I am self conscious about my tummy?

That’s completely normal! Almost everyone has areas of their body they feel self-conscious about. We will use lighting, wardrobe and posing to highlight your best features. Boudoir is about capturing confidence, sensuality, and empowerment—not perfection. You might even surprise yourself by loving parts of your body you never thought you would!
