Self-Portraits in my Richmond studio
🕑 Added 2023-04-26 14:01:45 +0000 UTCAs a boudoir photographer, I find it so important to get in front of the camera and experience all of the feels that my clients do. If I don’t know how something feels, how can I truly expect to give clients an experience that is supportive of their emotions and needs?
This set was very unplanned and unexpected. I was at the studio organizing the client closet. I was in a blah mood about myself. Ya know, hormones! I put on some lingerie and instantly felt my mood changing. Admiring myself in the mirror made me feel sexy. Next thing I know, I’m setting up my camera for self-portraits. I am so proud of the growth I’ve experienced. Self-Portraits were always too vulnerable of a thing for me to do. Again, how can I expect my clients to enter this vulnerable experience that I, myself, won’t enter?
I vow to practice what I preach. Not only does it make me feel more connected with my work, it also helps me to heal and see myself in a new, empowering way.
