Boudoir photography is a luxury, and it’s important to understand what you’re getting into. If you’ve never done this kind of thing before, it can be hard to know how much money to set aside for your session.
The truth is that pricing depends on a lot of factors—from location and travel expenses to the photographer’s experience level. But no matter what, boudoir is an investment in yourself. You deserve to treat yourself well and feel beautiful at every stage in life (even when you don’t feel like it). And while the cost may seem high, remember that it’s not just about the money—it’s about the confidence you gain from seeing yourself through different eyes, the boost to your self-esteem when you realize that you DO rival what you see constantly in the media, and the reminder of those emotions when you’re having a hard body-image day.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, a birthday, or just because, boudoir photos are an incredible way to feel your best. But with so many options out there, it can be hard to know where to start. How much should you spend? What makes a luxury service vs. a cheap one?
Here are some tips on how to find the perfect boudoir photographer for your needs:
-Ask around—friends and family often have great recommendations for photographers they’ve worked with in the past.
-Check out their website—not every photographer has one, but those who do should be able to show off their work and give you an idea of what they do and don’t offer.
-Consider your budget—this doesn’t mean that you have to spend a fortune on boudoir photos, but always make sure that any prices quoted are in line with what other photographers are charging in your area (you can ask them about this directly). Also, consider joining the photographer’s VIP group on social media or asking if there are upcoming specials. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, keeping an out for specialty sessions or holiday “minis” can be a great way to get in front of the camera for less cash.
If you’re wondering how much you should spend on boudoir photos, here’s how I look at it: if you want quality work, then yes, $1k-$5k is probably going to be necessary (depending on where you live). But if you want something more affordable and still want quality work? That’s what payment plans and specialty sessions are for!
I know what it’s like to feel like you’re not beautiful enough, or not sexy enough. And then one day, I had the opportunity to take my own boudoir photos—and it changed everything for me! It helped me see myself in a whole new way, and it made me realize that there’s nothing wrong with being confident about who you are and feeling good about yourself.
So, now it’s your turn! Are you ready to feel like a million bucks? Let’s get you booked!
