So you’ve been toying with the idea of a boudoir shoot…
pinned a few photos on one of your “secret Pinterest boards”…
and maybe you’ve even checked some of the boudoir photographers in your area!
But how do you choose the right boudoir photographer?
I mean, really – they’re all photographing women in lingerie, and what’s the difference anyways? Here are a few questions you may want to ask yourself before you book your photographer:
- Do you LOVE their work?
It’s pretty simple; the photographer has to have that little “something something” difference that just grabs you and makes you want to see more of their work. Check their website, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest for more of their work so you can really get an idea of their style. The website is usually just a snippet of what they do. The more recent images or special project photos will be on their social media!
- Do you feel you CONNECTED with the photographer?
This is more important than money or location!
Do they have a story about them on their site? Do see any photos of them? Any videos? Maybe behind the scenes footage? Do they talk to YOU with their messages of their online presence? You will be in your lingerie, in front of a camera…surely you want to feel like the person who is shooting you is more like a new friend than just a photographer.
- What do you GET for your money?
This can be the most confusing part of the process.
There are so many different pricing structures by studios – because what works for me, may not work for another photographer. We all have a different goal in the business regarding quantity of shoot!
Make sure you check what is included in the initial price you pay! It might be a small amount of money but don’t get too excited because you will more than likely only get your photographer’s time and talent and MAYBE one print. Check individual product prices when you see small sitting fees; it will save you some not so nice financial surprises.
I hope this helps and you will find your dream photographer!
