2020 sure was an interesting year for all of us? Am I right? It has been difficult for photographers for sure. Sometimes it can been impossible for photographers to do photo sessions while maintaining social distancing and wearing masks. Could you imagine wearing a mask during a sexy boudoir shoot? Yeah, me either. But photographers won’t let Covid-19 pandemic stop them from trying to keep their business afloat. Now, many photographers, are offering virtual sessions. And they have been a huge hit!
While it’s not the same as an actual face to face photo shoot.. it is a unique way to keep your confidence alive during these hard times. We have all been stressed and many of us have been full blown depressed. Being cooped up in our homes, many of us not working, the stress of homeschooling for the MANY of us who just aren’t built to be a teacher, no interaction with friends or grandparents, etc.. all of these things has really taken a toll on so many of us.
I know it’s easier said than done, but do not let yourself go downhill! I see many posts of my friends on social media who haven’t cared to dress up and do their hair and makeup since they aren’t really going out in public much, if at all. You have to remember, it is more important for you to feel and look beautiful for yourself more for others. These trying times have caused many of us to slack on things like this.
Confidence boosters are great for depression and anxiety. And guess what is great for a confident boost? A boudoir photo shoot session!
All you need is a phone or laptop that allows you to virtually communicate with your favorite boudoir photographer! Find an area that is well lit and have something like a box or table that you can move around to use as a tripod. They will guide you through everything else. They will tell you the areas and angles where lighting looks the best and will walk you through every pose, They will even demonstrate them for you as if you were in their studio at a regular session. Even though they won’t be there, it will feel like they are!
This is great for anyone locally who either just can’t leave their home or are still choosing to social distance; or those who maybe aren’t local to a photographer they love, but would like to do this!
They will take screen grabs of the poses virtually and edit them from their home or studio! So absolutely no contact needed. Don’t let this “new normal” we are living in cause you to forget to do something special for YOU to remind you that you are beautiful! Feeling good about yourself for even a little while can do so much good for your mood during these times. You would be helping photographers stay up and running and they would be helping you with a little positivity, fun, and confidence boost!
So make sure you reach out to your favorite photographer, or the photographer you’ve been stocking on Instagram and ask them about virtual boudoir sessions!! You’ll thank us later. 😉
