overcoming the excuses to booking a boudoir shoot

Picture this: you’re scrolling through Instagram, swooning over stunning boudoir photos, and thinking, “Wow, I wish I could do that… but nope.” Sound familiar? As a professional boudoir photographer in Northern Virginia, I hear every excuse in the book from incredible women who are this close to booking a session but let doubts hold them back. Whether it’s nerves, body worries, or just life’s chaos, those excuses are like pesky gremlins keeping you from your moment to shine. At Boudoir by MRoyPhoto, we’re all about kicking those gremlins to the curb with a mix of humor, heart, and empowerment. Ready to laugh off the fears and embrace your inner badass in 2025? Let’s tackle the top excuses women have about boudoir—and why they’re no match for you!

“I’m Not Photogenic Enough for Boudoir!”

We’ve all taken a selfie that looks like it belongs in a haunted house. The fear of not being “photogenic” stops many women from booking a boudoir session. You might think you need to be a model to pull off those sultry poses.

Reason to book: You don’t need to be a supermodel—our expert team at Boudoir by MRoyPhoto, knows how to make anyone shine! With professional lighting, posing guidance, and a sprinkle of magic (okay, maybe just good angles), we’ll capture your inner goddess. Every woman is photogenic when she’s in a space designed to celebrate her unique beauty.

Your session awaits. Luxury Just for You

“My Body Isn’t ‘Perfect’ Right Now” 

Raise your hand if you’ve ever waited for the “perfect” body before stepping into the spotlight. Spoiler: we’re all still waiting! Many women hesitate, thinking they need to lose weight or tone up first.

Reason to book: Boudoir isn’t about perfection—it’s about you, right now, in all your glorious realness. Our all-female team creates a judgment-free zone where stretch marks, curves, or scars are part of your story, not flaws. A client once told us her session helped her see her body as powerful, not “imperfect.” Let’s celebrate your 2025 milestones, no matter your size!

“I’m Too Shy or Nervous to Pose” 

Feeling like a deer in headlights at the thought of posing in lingerie? Totally normal. Shyness can make you think boudoir is for bold ladies only.

Reason to book: Guess what? Most of our clients start nervous, but our Woodbridge studio is a safe haven. We guide you through every pose, from sassy to sweet, with laughs and encouragement. Think of it as a fun girls’ day with wine (or coffee) and zero pressure. By the end, you’ll be strutting like you own the runway—promise!

“It’s Too Expensive for Me”

Boudoir sessions can seem like a splurge, especially when life’s throwing bills your way. You might think, “I’d rather spend on groceries or a new purse.” Reason to book: Investing in yourself is priceless. At Boudoir by MRoyPhoto, we offer flexible packages to fit different budgets, and the confidence boost you’ll get is worth every penny. Plus, think of those stunning photos as a gift for you and your partner—two birds, one fabulous shoot. Book a consultation to chat options; we’ll make it work for you.

I Don’t Have Anyone to Gift the Photos To”

Some women hesitate because they’re single or think boudoir is only for gifting to a partner.

Reason to book: Boudoir is for you first! It’s about reclaiming your confidence and celebrating your journey, whether you’re flying solo or partnered up. Our clients in Northern Virginia often say their photos are a love letter to themselves. Want to share them later? Cool. Want to keep them as your secret superpower? Even cooler. You deserve this moment.

“I Don’t Have Time for a Session”

Between work, family, and a social life, who has time for a boudoir shoot? Life in Northern Virginia moves fast!

Reason to book: A boudoir session is a mini-vacation for your soul. It’s just a few hours to pamper yourself with professional hair, makeup, and a confidence boost that lasts way longer.
