How To Lose the Nerves Before Your Boudoir Portraits

Spoiler alert – you lose the nerves by choosing a Boudoir Photographer that helps you prepare for your shoot. No one helps you prepare like Hot Tomato Portraits. 

Shoot day mornings at Hot Tomato Portraits boudoir studio often begin with me hopping off the elevator, coffee in hand, taking a right and following the sounds of laughter and excited chatter. I know that my client is in good hands, well prepared and being treated to expert hair styling and make-up application. I can count on the nerves slowly drifting away, being replaced by confidence and trust.

By the time you are sitting in our make-up room you have talked to us via phone, in person and text message and we have helped you prepare. We’ve gotten to know you and you have gotten to know us. Your consultation let you see our beautiful albums and space, including our client closet! We talked about your session vibe, your hair and make-up look and what to expect at your shoot.

We coach you through your entire experience from advice about spray tanning (please don’t), to where to find the perfect stockings and lingerie pieces. We are full of opinions and when you ask for ours we are always happy to give you an honest one.

Yes, once I walk in – your the nerves are already starting to melt away.

Hair and make-up done and gorgeous, we’ve picked your first outfit. The only thing left to do now is have a quick check in with me, Andi, your photographer. I am going to ask you about your body and your current relationship to it. I am going to make sure you know you are in a safe space and you are welcome to inhabit your body in whatever way feels most authentic.

What if the nerves aren’t quite gone when it’s time to step in front of the camera? Well that’s easy, I have super powers. It’s not x-ray vision or flying – I am able to calm a half nekkid nervous beauty with my mere presence and soothing tone of voice. My dad was the baby whisperer, I am the bootie whisperer. Not an overly marketable skill, but it’s what I do!

Now, we start breathing together. We do a little emotional dance where I help you move your body and coax the authentic you to come out and play. What I’m looking for isn’t the perfect pose or the body shape, I am looking for your soulshine. Once the soulshine appears, the rest is easy. Soulshine is the light that you share with world – it’s that sleepy morning smile, that full throated laugh, that gentle moan that escapes your lips when something feels REALLY good.

Our gal Ms. N brought her soulshine out to play! I loved her brunette Brigette Bardot aesthetic and her sultry pout. She rocked a long sleeved black body suit, a simple white top and high waisted panties and a tutu! She enjoyed a few hours where she wasn’t momming anyone, wasn’t being anyone’s little snack b*tch and had nothing to do but stretch, breath, “eyes right here, just like that…..beautiful” <snap, snap, snap>. And repeat. I’d say it was good day!

Have you considered a boudoir session for yourself? Fill out this form and we can help you get this party started! If you like us but aren’t sure you are ready to dive in just yet, we’d like to invite you join our behind the scenes Facebook group the Hot Tomato Peep Show. Like any good club, we have a secret handshake – but it’s virtual and more like answering three questions and agree to the rules – join us we do fun giveaways, we share work and stupid memes and support the hell out of each other!

A tornado of desire.

A dangerous storm of brilliance and magic. 

Boudoir is for everybody. EVERY. BODY.

Let's celebrate your thunder thighs and lightning eyes. Details in my bio.

Things I want you to know if you are drawn to boud Things I want you to know if you are drawn to boudoir but can't quite say yes, yet. 

You know your body is worthy of being photographed, just as it is. 

You are not a before photo - you are a glorious human being who happens to exist in an earth bound flesh suit. 

Your body does not exist on this earth to appear "pretty". You don't owe anyone pretty, sexy or submissive. 

You don't have to lose 15, 40, or 100 pounds to have a boudoir body. 

You can and SHOULD do a boudoir shoot just for you. 

You don't have to be naked in your boudoir shoot. 

You don't have to wear make-up for your boudoir shoot. 

You don't have to wear lingerie in for your boudoir shoot. 

You don't need to know how to pose. 

You don't have to love yourself to be capable of being loved, you are worthy of love right now. 

Sometimes I struggle with my body image too. It's an ongoing commitment to creating a kinder inner voice, not a quick fix. 

You deserve to see your body as a work of art through the loving and gentle eyes of my lens. 

Yes, you. 

Gorgeous photos for tax!

The photos I share are not of professional models. The photos I share are not of professional models. They are women, just like you, who woke up one day and said this is it - today is the day that I schedule my phone consultation. 

Almost no one who books with us has any modeling experience. Even when do a model call or discounted sessions for social media use, we don’t typically work with anyone that has previous modeling experience. 

The women you see in our photos are just like you. The idea of doing a boudoir session resonated with them and they knew it was something they needed. 

The women in the photos we share have felt so incredibly empowered by their session that their reasons for model releasing any of their private images is because they want to inspire other women to take the plunge. 

It doesn’t matter why you want to book. If you feel the pull for a session - there’s a reason. Let’s talk about it! https://www.hottomatopinupacademy.com/questions/
