Before You Decide… I'd Love You to Read This
Firstly… thank you. I know that sending an enquiry about a boudoir experience isn't something most women do on a whim. In fact, I'd guess you've probably been thinking about it for a little while.
Perhaps you've looked through my website more than once. Maybe you've saved a few images on Instagram, read a couple of blog posts, or mentioned the idea to a friend before finally deciding to get in touch. If that's you, I'm genuinely so glad you did.
I also know what usually happens next. The excitement of pressing "Send" is often followed by a little voice that starts asking questions.
"Could I actually do this?"
"What if I'm too awkward?"
"What if I don't look like the women on her website?"
"What if I book and then lose my nerve?"
If any of those thoughts have crossed your mind already, I'd love to reassure you that you're not alone.
In fact...You're probably feeling exactly the same as almost every woman who has ever walked through my door.
Every Woman Thinks She's The Exception
One of the things that always makes me smile is hearing the first few sentences when a client arrives. Almost without fail, they'll say something like...
"I'm so nervous." "I'm really awkward in front of the camera." "I don't know how to pose." "I've never done anything like this before."
They genuinely believe they're the only person who's ever felt that way. The truth?
Almost everyone says exactly the same thing. And yet, by the end of the morning, something has shifted. Not because they've suddenly become a model. But because they've realised they never needed to be one.
““Rebecca and her team made me feel so welcome and confident from the get go. Having my hair and makeup done isn’t something I’m used to, but I felt completely looked after. I never thought standing practically naked in front of someone I’d only just met would be so empowering, but Rebecca made me feel more comfortable and confident than I could have imagined.””
Here's What I Want You To Know
You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need to buy expensive lingerie. You don't need to lose weight. You don't need to be naturally confident. You don't even need to enjoy having your photograph taken.
That's my job. Your only job is to arrive.
Everything else, we'll do together.
A Little Note From Me...
I've photographed hundreds of women over the years. Do you know how many have arrived saying,
"Rebecca, I'm feeling incredibly confident today. I know exactly what I'm doing."
Honestly? I can't think of one.
Confidence isn't the reason women book a boudoir session. It's so often the reason they leave loving it.
The Part You Don't See On Instagram
Instagram shows you the finished photographs. What it doesn't show you is everything that happens before them.
It doesn't show you us chatting over a cup of tea while your hair and makeup is being done. It doesn't show you laughing because neither of us can remember which way your necklace clasp goes. It doesn't show the moments where we pause, have a little chat, and take a breath before moving on to the next photograph.
It doesn't show me gently talking you through every pose, every hand movement, every tiny adjustment until everything feels completely natural.And it definitely doesn't show the moment when you look at the back of the camera for the first time and quietly say... "Oh my goodness... is that actually me?"
Those moments are my favourite part of the whole experience.
““What a morning! Rebecca made me feel so comfortable from the moment I arrived. By the end of the session I couldn’t believe how much my confidence had grown.””
The Questions You're Probably Asking Yourself
-
f I waited until every woman felt completely confident before photographing her, I don't think I'd have photographed very many people.
Confidence isn't a requirement for booking. It's often something women quietly rediscover during the experience itself.
You don't need to arrive believing you're beautiful. You simply need to arrive.
We'll take care of the rest together.
-
"What if I cry?"
Then we stop.
We make another cup of tea.
We have a chat.
Sometimes boudoir brings up emotions we weren't expecting, and that's completely okay.
This experience isn't about pushing through uncomfortable feelings.
It's about creating a safe space where you can simply be yourself.
-
I'll help.
Before your session you'll receive lots of guidance about what photographs beautifully, and I'm always happy to help if you're deciding between outfits.
You absolutely don't need a suitcase full of lingerie.
Some of my favourite photographs have been created with an oversized shirt, a beautiful knit, or a simple bridal veil.
-
You probably will.
For about five minutes. Then we'll chat. We'll laugh. You'll relax.
And before long you'll realise you haven't thought about feeling awkward for quite some time.
Something My Clients Often Tell Me Afterwards...
When I ask mty cleints how they felt before their session, the answers are almost always the same.
"I nearly cancelled."
"I didn't think I could do it."
"I was terrified."
When I ask them afterwards... Everything changes.
"I wish I'd done it sooner."
"I've never felt so confident."
"I can't believe that's me."
"It was one of the best things I've ever done for myself."
What Happens Next?
I'll personally read through your enquiry and send you a tailored reply within the next 24 hours (usually much sooner).
I'll answer any questions you've asked, explain how everything works and help you decide whether the experience feels like the right fit for you.
In the meantime, if you think of anything at all, you're always welcome to reply to your confirmation email.
I Can't Wait To Get To Know You
Thank you again for taking the time to get in touch.
Whether you decide to book or you're simply exploring your options, I'm genuinely honoured you've found your way here.
I look forward to chatting with you very soon.
Rebecca 🤍
