What if…I don’t know what to wear?
My immediate response to this would be: I provide all of my clients with a preparation guide that has an entire section on wardrobe.
I attended a workshop a while back and the photographer I was learning from asked, “what’s your superpower?” My response - preparing clients for their session.
WOWWWW! Was I wrong! My superpower, I would realize many years later is the ability to make my clients comfortable. Around the time I realized that, I also realized I knew very little about how to prepare clients for their sessions at all. So I learned all about it, and kept working at it until I felt like an expert!
Wardrobe is actually one of my favorite parts about the boudoir experience, it’s a great way for a client to express herself, step out of her comfort zone and even try to be the sort of woman they only imagined being…all while actually just being herself, duh!
BUT I also know how stressful we make ourselves trying to find the perfect outfits. That’s why I took on part of that stress and created my client closet, a place that holds a variety of styles in sizes XS-4XL.
In my preparation guide there are examples of different styles of lingerie that work best with different shapes and sizes as well as other options if a client would prefer to do something more casual instead of something super sexy!
If I were preparing for my own session I would do:
A bra and part set
A bodysuit or teddy
Just the sheet
