July 10th is coming up, so this is when I really begin to make preparations for a Boudoir Day. One of the ways I do this is by getting a feel for how each unicorn might be feeling prior to her photo shoot. This is important to me because everyone's comfort levels and personalities are so different. If a unicorn is nervous about her shoot, I want to know this so I can take extra measures to help her loosen up and have fun. If she's feeling confident, we can talk about what she'd like to accomplish in the shoot and perhaps she'd like to push herself a bit in terms of posing and looks. Nervousness and confidence are definitely on the same spectrum, though, so it's really a matter of finding out how much of each exists relative to each unicorn. My understanding of her particulars also helps with styling the shoot and catering to each unicorn's particular tastes and ideas.
I interviewed one of our unicorns that is getting photographed at A Midsummer's Boudoir Day on July 10. This lady is bleeding with confidence, and hopefully that amazing characteristic of hers is infectious to other prospective boudoir clients.
PS: She's nervous too!
When and why did you first become interested in boudoir?
I've always really liked boudoir photos. They're always beautifully done but still plenty sassy!
Why are you getting these photos taken?
I'm getting them done for myself, and well, I suppose for my husband too. ;-)
Are you nervous about any aspect of the shoot? If so, what specific concerns do you have?
I am nervous for sure. I'm very self-conscious about my post baby belly so I'm hoping this will help boost my confidence back up!
What kind of look are you going for?
A badass pinup!
Are you interested in any of the fairy accessory add-on options at this event?
I'll try anything once! Well, maybe not anything, but you catch my drift!
Do any women inspire you as body-positive role models? If so, who are they?
I don't have anyone specific in mind, but I have mad respect for any woman that is confident about themselves!
How would you define boudoir without Googling it?
Elegant, fun, sassy, perhaps a bit provacative; bedroom photos!
Did you ever have any reservations about boudoir? If so, what were your reasons?
Not really, I'm excited and nervous but once I get comfortable it'll be tons of fun I'm sure!
What are your overall opinions of boudoir right now, prior to shooting?
I dig it.
Do you have any expectations?
I expect to have fun.
Do you have any questions?
Not really, but I'm sure I will when the time comes.
Lastly, are you excited?
Very much so!
