We’ve all done it—putting things off, waiting for the “right time,” or telling ourselves that we’ll do something someday. But when it comes to capturing something as personal and special as a boudoir session, waiting can sometimes lead to regrets.
I hear it all the time:
- “I’ll book a session once I’ve lost weight.”
- “I just need to feel more confident first.”
- “I’ll do it later, when the timing is better.”
But here’s the thing—waiting for the “right” time often means never doing it at all. So let’s talk about the biggest mistakes people make when considering a boudoir shoot (and how to avoid them!).
Mistake #1: Waiting Until You “Look Better” or “Feel Confident”
Many women think they need to reach a certain size or fitness goal before they can feel beautiful in front of the camera. But here’s the truth: confidence doesn’t come from a number on a scale—it comes from celebrating yourself as you are right now.
Every single client I’ve worked with has had nerves before their session. And every single one has walked away feeling more confident than they ever expected. The best way to feel confident is to do the thing that scares you, not to wait until fear magically disappears.
Mistake #2: Waiting Until the Last Minute
If you’re thinking about a boudoir session for a wedding, anniversary, or special milestone, planning ahead is crucial. Our calendar fills up months in advance, and I can’t tell you how many times someone has reached out in a panic, only to find out there’s no availability left. If you want to secure a date that works for you, don’t wait until it’s too late.
Mistake #3: Letting Fear Make the Decision for You
It’s easy to let self-doubt creep in—maybe you think you’re “not the type” to do a boudoir shoot, or you’re worried about stepping outside your comfort zone. But here’s the thing: no one ever regrets doing it. The only regret I ever hear? “I wish I had done this sooner.”
It’s Time to Say Yes to You
So, be honest—have you made one of these mistakes before? You’re not alone. But now you know, and you can choose differently.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time, this is it. Let’s start planning your session now, so you can look back and be glad you didn’t wait.
